In answer to your criticism, we have done all this before. We have had several conversations about ROT and we had a thread about it in UHall a couple of months ago.
Quite frankly, I am sick of banging my head against a brick wall. I think the development team is quite incompetent and do not know how to run an online game properly. This is not just about their treatment of Siege, but about the lack of care for the game as a whole: web site, community relations, updates, bug fixes, lack of vision, etc, etc, etc. Hopefully they will get around to implementing the ROT change at some point.
But also, have you noticed how quiet the dev team has been on Uhall? There is barely a word about anything. Either they are on the cusp of something major (like SA) or they have finally given up the ghost.
