I would love to play h&h again... just the lags would have to be gone.
The way I see it h&h population has been reduced by 60-70% in the last 6 months (yes I'm one of those that quit), if you can't at least make the horrilag better than I think it would be for the best to just keep the game off line and let it die with some dignity.
You could instead just give people keys to Salem.
BTW. I think this place still has keys http://www.tentonhammer.com/giveaways/salem/cbt. I got mine from there last weak.
