Siege is on the shortlist

As for what shard will be PunkBuster free, here are the options on the drawing board:

* Test Center. (TC would still be occasionally wiped and would still get various rule sets depending on what we are testing.)
* Siege and Mugen, and scripting would still be illegal and enforced by GMs. (Some rule modifications might have to be made to Siege if we did this, like restrict the use of bags of sending.)
* Launch a completely new shard, where scripting would be legal. (This shard would be one you could transfer to for free, but never leave. We have been calling it Devil’s Island.)

BAHAHAHAHAHA

*points and laughs at Spyderbyte and all the others on Siege*

Ok Ok I am joking.....I really hope it doesn't happen to siege.....free transfer there from any shard........
I am voting for Test or The Devil's Island.

Actually, We would be giving SpyderBite and the rest of Siege more victims.

New Transfers should have the Tittle "FreshMeat" until they survive their first 100 hours without getting "pk'd" on Siege or Devil's Island.

Origin should become the New Devil's Island. Plenty of room, its the first shard to recieve publishes, and its an exsisting shard, so EA doesn't have to waste resources to make another shard.

I don't think they will use the Siege plan, mostly because you can only have one character on Siege. And if they change that rule...well I'd probably stop playing Siege.

I suppose out of anything, I'd choose a new shard. I don't really like the idea of a new shard, but it seems to be the best option.

I would rather see an exsisting less populated shard like Origin used, because a server sharing a new shard on it would only create lag. I dont see EA allocating a few dollars to be fair and give scripters and punks bandwith and lag free scripting on a new server.

Good thing I quit playing Siege! I would hate to be stuck on the "cheater" shard.
