What is the point in having Metas 2 or 3x the size if you can't even put up a fight.
Only three teams who didn't have a meta and had come in solo, If you think a server is over because of that you are vastly mistaken, server was over before you even registered if you weren't ready for a challenge such as that.
Build defense Build Hammers Plan and it's pretty simple to be a competitive force, Theres 12000 players i'm pretty sure 150 of them don't decide the entire server.
