look, I have absolute no problem with eXpansion itself, I always rent server for players with eXpansion. But if I read something like this, that support got dropped and parts like: "But it seems that the community wishes for XAseco or whatever other crap there is (I am being nusty),[...]The recent beta has confirmed us that eXpansion is unwanted." then there might be a big missinterpretation what the hoster wants at least. In this case, we a view of "coder" and "user".
And hackie, if you are not able to offer my criticism about this support drop, then you did not understand my post. Yeah, a beta might be super cool etc. but it's complety pointless if you run a server with 20+ Players and then w00p, expansion is down - because "beta". I am not 24/7 at home to restart a servercontroller again. A hoster want's a stable controller, a hoster looks for tools and check what these tools can do. The bad thing behind this: Xaseco has a great past and it's useless how old this tool is, it runs stable - even with php7.1 with the reaby + bueddl fix (

It's pointless if fufimenu is no more "2017". The fact is, new players find easily a menu to navigate, meanwhile the menu in expansion is like a "hidden feature". And when I need to click 5 times to open this beautiful control panel in the adminsection - even reported - then it's like "try /admin control" (or something like that).
I am really thankfull what oliverde8 and reaby did. But playing victim of "no one is interested" helps nobody.
Edit: And why should I use eXpansion for Shootmania? I have Maniacontrol, which is perfect for Shootmania gamemodes. Only one Royal Server uses MPaseco. So why does it for Maniacontrol and for eXpansion?
eXpansion can almost everything what Xaseco can (except kicking players to spec with a autoqueue for players - Race of Champions need this^^). That's why I use since 0.9.8.x eXpansion. So don't tell me I am negative.
