I've mentioned some of the reasons why I like the 4144 client better than the "official" client. Now there's one more reason 4144 has included auldsbel.org in the server list in the client. Despite being online 24/7 for over a year auldsbel hasn't seemed to have made it into the official client yet. It's been listed on the wiki for at least half that time, if not the whole time. And as many of you know I make nightly backups, so if there's corruption, there's not a huge amount of work players need to do to catch up.
Part of the reason I think auldsbel hasn't made it to main was that it wasn't different enough. It has a lot of content similar to the official English server with a few quest additions, and some stores to make it easier for warriors. Yes, there are plans to make it quite different, but it takes time and experimentation (on a dev server).
Anyway, enough ranting: the gist of this post is that I've been promoting 4144's client all along because it has a number of really nice features, and now it has one more nice aspect - auldsbel listed in the server list. (Note: if you already use 4144's client you might have to reload the server list to see the auldsbel listing).
