Anyway, to this day v1.16.1 is still the best version for playing the game on melee, and for anything else anyway, for so many reasons... | ||

He may be overreacting but it's not uncommon for developers who have complete control to screw up the game experience over the years. A prime example is TF2, where valve killed the independant community servers by introducing a matchmaking button, then proceeded to change the modalities of access to their servers. So bad stuff could happen. | ||

fish revenue was from advertisements in-game and wLauncher. blizzard promised to assist fish server. they did not. blizzard lied. fish die from lack of fundings. brain server and iccup server will be 1.16.1 now. brain clan system is functioning. i do not know iccup. i will help administer brain server. operator selection will be transparent. please understand blizzard did not help us. 1.16.1 is reenacting. | ||

With Fish closing they have free road.. Im predicting that after some time they will start changing this game to better suit new players and after that SC:BW will die or really become a niche. It will happen because old players wont be able to play it and new ones will lose interest because with changes this game will lose its identity.. Soon after, they will be able to release Starcraft 3. They want total and full control over this franchise and it wouldnt be bad if they wanted to help it stay alive and grow... Now could someone tell me how i can get to Brain? Also i wanted to ask what happened in detail that Fish is closing? Thanks! I've had the exact same fears as you since the release of SC:R. Still hoping we are wrong... | ||

You can still make custom games with anyone you want to play with on RM, and thus are never in danger of not being able to find quality games. I think the ladder might still be buggy on RM (haven't been following that closely), but that isn't that big of a deal; at the end of the day ladder ranking doesn't really matter, and the matchmaker still gets you way faster, better quality games than you ever could have just hosting 1:1 on ICCup. Why anyone would play SB instead of remaster I especially don't know. SB has no ladder, it's just making games with friends and playing. You can do the exact same thing on remaster, just as you could on ICCup or Fish or any other server. Maybe there are still a few unfortunate souls who have problems running RM, but I haven't seen much in the way of complaints about that recently, so I'm assuming it's resolved for 99%+ of people presently. Correct me if I'm wrong though. | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong though. RM has a lot of issues. SD looks really shitty in RM and the game heats my laptop badly after 10-15 minutes of playing, even if SD graphics are being used. For me, 1.16.1 will always be the best BW was and I'm glad that ICCup and SB are not going anywhere anytime soon. | ||

there's also the concern of giving blizzard control of something when they have continuously squandered their extensive goodwill since the merge with activision. i have much more faith in mca64 and the people behind wlauncher than i do in blizzard (likewise with the server admins on fish) to produce a competitive environment to play broodwar | ||

I didn`t found the specific thread for RM to ask about stuff, but after seeing what`s pouring now, I realized there isn`t one(?). The chat system still doesn`t work. If you`d wish to play on clear display with the old graphics, you can`t do so, because the widescreen gives a clear edge for the opponent, hence all players are forced to play with it, despite it`s inferior in many aspects, at least in my eyes. I can bring up only one aspect in which RM improves upon BW: the fast matchmaking ladder (which has it`s various issues as well...), but that`s it. | ||
