| Bootlaggers? More like Bootleggers! |

On the eleventh of June, Dreamnid put the Bootleggers server to be, through what would later be seen as its final test, everyone was set to maximum!
Dreamnid announced on the Game Forum that every account on the test server had been revived, set as Legendary Don, given strong guns, high protection, millions of bullets and one billion dollars. All of this was to attract the Bootleggers population into pushing the test sever to the max and that is exactly what happened. Especially when Dreamnid flicked the instant kill button, which just about everyone had fun participating in, even if you only had an account life span of less than thirty seconds, it was fun for all! All accounts were later revived, instant kill switched off, so people could have fun gambling their new found fortune away.
One disadvantage that had been raised in the Game Forum, was the fact that by logging on to your dead and buried accounts, you could find who killed that account. Chances are you would have known your killer, but not everyone was lucky enough to find their witness statement, so by doing this, find your killer without an official witness.
I tried to catch up with Dreamnid, but unfortunately I was unable to. It didnt really matter as my questions answered themselves when, shortly after the vigorous testing of the server in question, the server was officially announced as the new Bootleggers server! With everything thus far going to plan, something had to fail. Three pages have been taken down since, the Chat, Shooting Range and the Establishment, so far anyway.
So the long lasting Bootlaggers problem seems to have finally been sorted, first impressions seem very good indeed. Lets hope it lasts!
