My 2 cents:
I really think this sucks balls big time!
Yeah sure, we're still able to play on lw (or whereever else) and stuff. And yeah, we still got our own lw forum (and that alternative / new samp forum.. which is nothing compared to the old forum imo) to chat etc.
But: am i the only person realizing the (BIG) lack of players on most of the official (popular) servers? Ok it differs a bit from server to server, but i got this one server in mind as example.. usually it's filled to the max with 150 players almost all the time (might be around 100 in the early morning hours GMT). Now the official server list is down and there been around 40-50 players yesterday (when there actually should have been 150). Seems like a lot of people (i for myself would consider em as usual "nubs") joined servers via the official list (and maybe dont even know how to use the favorites tab.. im usin the fave tab since day 1 of playing samp.. cant understand why others dont, lol). Means a LOT of these people ain't able to join the server they are looking for (and usually playing on).
So: lets just hope that all of these people manage to find "their" servers throughout the master server list (and maybe even start to use fave tab then), so that at least the amount of players on the big (popular) servers stays the same in the near future.
So, that's my main problem right now. It's just boring to play with 40-50 people on a server where your used to play with 150 people normally. I could play singleplayer instead and probly have same as much fun there.
Edit: Holy crap.. it's 8:30 pm (GMT) and there are 38 players on lw. That's just exactly what im talking about.
