There was a way to turn off auto side switch balancing, I forgot how. Long time ago you used to be able to sneak towns with enough guys which was a lot of fun, but they changed the rules and made it where you had to have an attack order to be able to capture something. No AO = town is uncapturable. I play it off and on especially since now you have the option to play for 100% free with a very limited set of items you are allowed to spawn in with. That had given the game a big shot in the arm for the number of players active and online in the server, along with $ tiers that go from cheap monthly rates with more but limited spawnables until you get to their normal fee for the regular stuff. Then they had a dev support tier which is more then the base cost but it gave you titles available to your name for that tier only along with a few additional spawnable support items and other stuff. And yes that payment tier works there just fine. Something like that here would get the numbers higher, but its never going to happen. Changes here are not allowed because only one guy thinks its right and everyone else is wrong.
