Yeah I also enjoy the odd game of SvenCoop.
However I doubt it was <b>the</b> Sven Viking that
posted this topic. (Maybe it was, who knows)

Also, the top of the page reads <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> Posted: Apr 2 2003, 12:53 AM
<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> so it's kinda late to be an Arpil Fools joke.

The Sven Coop homepage still reads:
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Content Release 4! Also, SvenCo-op Insider™ Launches!
April 1, 2003 | by Sven Viking<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But there's too much crap in there to be legit, for example:
<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->Sven Co-op Insider™ is a mod first. Subscribers get the latest news, patches and fixes for that nasty hard drive bug MONTHS before the general public! Don't be a sucker, sign up today! <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

yes it was ajoke and if you click the link sn00py posted you will see

and yes we have the constilation system, very similer to sven's donate and get cool stuff in game (expet you don't get any actual advantages in NS just a cool icon)

Sven_Viking

Yup, I admit that paid advantages wouldn't be so good for competitive mods <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->, even if they were small.Even ignoring possible ethical concerns, you might get a situation where donors were considered to be cheaters by general players, and tended to be kicked from servers.
