Title: Hyperlobby closing
Post by: Seeker on July 31, 2003, 02:09:38 pm
Grease up the server, Hyperlobby is shutting down Aug. 4. Looks like a LOT of new players will be reluctantly joining the UBI ranks. Should be some interesting lobby chat next week.

Can't say I'm not happy about it.

Well, I have mixed feelings about that. It may make ubi realize this game is still alive. It may on the otherhand, result in all of the hyper pilots sharing the same resources as we currently have. In any event what can ya do?TX-KingsnakeWhite >+Commanding Officer

It has its pros and cons , WAY more servers to fly, lots more racing, lots more hits on the site and ALOT more followers, bad side is alot of "not cool" pilots will be showing up, and just think of ALL the squads that will be appearing, not to mention the above " interesting chat" next week.Time to shine boys.B~T

It's posted by Jiri on his homepage.  http://hyperfighter.jinak.cz/index.php?page=downloadI'm only happy in a perverted sense. I've always had a grudge with the UBIwhiners and it's good to see them squirm. Actually, I'd prefer HL to stay so I don't have to deal with the Piggys, et. al.

HL isnt shutting down, they got hacked while Jiri was on vacation. I use HL all the time, and i like it because its very conviniet for me. I find a bunch of good games on there, although there are bad apples, as you have mentioned.
