This. The community benefits when people have a choice of what server to play on. If your choice is Marathon with X mines or Marathon with X mines and you don't like Marathon with X mines, you're in a position where you're not going to enjoy the game nearly as much.
While I personally don't prefer marathon, I realize that others do prefer it, and that's awesome. Variety is the spice of life but currently Renegade-X is lacking options in terms of which servers you can play on and the bottom line is that it hurts the game. Hell, just look at OP. He hops on wanting to play AOW and he can't because the marathon servers have been seeded to high hell.
