bring back community servers

Community Dedicated Servers are always the answer. Every game I enjoyed growing up had amazing servers that were ran by fans. I was a mod on some of my favorite TFC ones. It's a great way to keep cheaters out and build a sense of comraderie amongst the regulars.

But...but...think of the profit margins when they release a ~~reskin~~ version 2 and everyone stays playing V1 on community servers.
