Not sure if they know what they are doing either. LoL THQ are the legal owners true, Nova=Primetech. Its been that way since 2015. You just don't know. Now you do. I hope playing with all you guys over the years  was fun for you as it was for me. USM has transitioned to Call of Duty The new one coming out, and Battlefield. Obviously no custom maps (sniffle, snivel) but you can still do the setting in the server.

What if you were to create your own hub like Nova did and host the game and see how many people would pay individually to play, like 5.00 a month to just play?as in per person you could make 2500 a month and not do too much if 500 hundred people would agree Im thinking it would be a 600 hundred people but it could be close. There are 300+ active players as of now.

So that logic sounds great.  But you have to own the domain for the nova servers.  Let alone all the background databases for everyones user accounts.  Otherwise if they would have allowed LAN connections you could set up a tunnel to do the same thing.  But because they modified the EXE record so you can't.  You are SOL until THQ gets off their butts and fixes it or just closes it for good.  THQ would most likely charge you 20 to 40k for all of that.  Not worth those 300 active users.

So, this is it. It's all over.
