Bro tbh mace trying to play the victim in this situation is laughable
i mean firstly he has the reputation of being 'macemadundus', i dont even know why he has this nickname but its obvious that he has been toxic to other people before.
secondly, there has been plenty of people (this thread included) who have constructively asked for the map to be readded, some people will have probably been toxic about it but its frustrating and i don't even blame them.
it feels to me and a lot of people (which again has been said before) that the map isn't getting readded because of some kind of pride that mace has, in that he doesn't want to feel like he wasted his time on new dotf. I mean he literally admitted this in the screenshots above.
its not a nice situation but the mod really can't afford not to listen to the playerbase anymore, the game has been noticeably more quiet recently, with less players actively participating in the community and ingame. Several clans have died in EU almost completely, J| included, which is crazy.
My point is that we've already tried to be constructive, and we have been ignored. It's no wonder people like Achilles have literally lost their mind with the dev team, because no one is going to be fooled into thinking that there is some kind of technical reason behind it all. It would literally take 5 minutes to readd and should have been done as soon as people requested it.
It could also be one of the many reasons why the game has decreased in activity recently (inb4 1000 unique IPs every day, even if this is true I would like to see how many unique IPs we had in 1.4.9).
If Mace truly feels like he wasted his time making the new DOTF after classic comes back, then I struggle to have sympathy for him. 'If it isn't broke, don't fix it,' comes to mind
