Keep SSC (Server Sided Characters)?

[Zilophos]

I think SSC and our ranking system is one thing that makes this server unique. Getting rid of it would really offset the server. Most people do like it overall with what iv'e seen. Ranking and the SS system would literally be a waste if we went without SSC. I think the ranking system and working hard to get those unobtainable items is a nice feature, and something we should always have. Its also true that we do have starting gear, and voting does make it easy to rank up faster. Those who complain about it are just lazy and don't want to work anymore than they have to. I also think that SSC allows us to have a better, friendlier community. With SSC we can keep hackers and other scum out of the server and away from those legitimate players who are active and wan't to have fun.
