GOG is so glitchy/full of bugs... None of it will ever get fixed. There is no support and never will be.
If our #1 effort is not to bring those players who are clearly interested in warcraft 2 over to .ru, we are failing the community. That's just the way it is.
Yes SOME will come to .ru and get banned, and get shit talked, and leave... that will happen.. but if we can manage to funnel them over to .ru as soon as possible, and continue to funnel them over the next few days, weeks, and months.. there is a very real chance they will find eachother on our server and start competing with one another.
Ultimately a large percentage of them will leave GOG and/or .ru. But even if a small percentage stay.. that's more players than we had.
We're letting this opportunity to gain more users slip by.. It's a no-brainer.
