Last I heard the newer server was a pure 152 vanilla server I never tried it so cant say, the 151 is a semi-tech server but with limited mods installed, I been waiting to see what happens, while playing mostly off line, last I was told was admin didnt want a tech server, I will go find a new one if this is the case as I too am more of a tech mod than vanilla player, but wanted to wait & see as I found that the old farts on this one good ppls.
