The following article is from http://bladenet.eu/

"The following services of BladeNet: bladenet.eu, forums, TDM server, Battle server, Duel server, UCP, Siege king/commander mini-mod, kill rewards, winter mini-mod and server admin panel will be closed down effective immediately.

The remaining services which consist of Siege and DM will feature a stripped down version of the mod and are to be renamed to westres_EU_Siege and westres_EU_DM, respectively.

Reason for this change is quite simple, due to the lack of an active player base/community, I felt that there was no need to further invest any more time in the aforementioned dropped services. Let's be honest, the servers have been struggling quite badly the past couple of weeks and it might even come to a point where ALL services are discontinued. That means no more neutral (non-clan, public run) servers and no decent Siege server. This will mark the end of an era, not only for westre's servers, but also for grand siege servers.

However as with all servers, we are at the mercy of the community. If you'd like us to stay, then please join the servers and show your support by playing on it.

The choice is yours.

Gather up lads, and help Westres survive the winter and the rest of the game's ongoing ages. We shall not let this last stronghold of honor and justice die.

I say, Westre hosts the only servers where people can play for fun. There are no cheating admins, no annoying grenade ♥♥♥♥ and no kickpollers. Even if there are some, the admin staff is trying to eliminate them as fast as they can.

And I know one more thing: Westres Siege only lacks players because everyone is going to Sparta server. Well, I'm saying proudly and honestly that Spartiat is a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, egomaniacs, noobs, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and all the other bad words I could name them. I'm personally banned from their server for NO REASON. I wasn't even playing on the server when I got banned...

So it's down with Spartiat and up with Westres. I know this community page consists of Spartiats even, but the truth is why this page was made. So sorry if my words up there bother some of the viewers, but if they can't admit that I'm right at this point, they are all on the level of a 5-year-old.
