I recently was playing some TDM on the FH (Forlorn Hope) server when I came to find that the officer class had been disabled. When I asked as to why this had been done, the admin said it was to prevent "sword spam". I have been playing NW since Mount & Musket and not once have I heard the phrase "sword spam". Now I was not the only one in the server wanting the officer class enabled, there was at least 4 others and at least 1 member of the actual Forlorn Hope saying how stupid the rule was. When 1 person called the admin "noobish" and also telling him that "you can't handle swords, which is why you disable officers" he was temporarily banned from the server. I would also like to point out that there was nearly more cavalry with swords than actual infantry, so I don't see where the FH is coming from with the sword spam idea. All I take from this is that they don't know how to fight infantry troops with swords, and they would rather kill the horse of a cavalry man then stab him in the back while he is on the ground for a quick kill rather than having to fight 1 on 1 with an officer. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Personally I think it is a ridiculous rule that needs to removed. I dont mean to sound like I am crying over nothing, but its the fact that officers are part of the game, disabling them just takes the fun out of it.
