Server Changes (Starting Tonight) - CaffeinePowered - 03-02-2009
I wanted to save a bit of time, but oh what the heck
Starting tonight there will be three changes that I hope most of you will be very happy to see :-*
First off, all "silly" maps will be moved off the voting list on #1, they will still be available to change to by admin during FNF
Second, #2 will be taking all of the maps removed from server #1 and running only those maps, in addition to some others, so if you want to play balloon_race, pac_man, donkey_kong, bess_jump, ect. You can get your fix here. We've been continually trying to come up with some formula to get people to play on #2, whether it be all stocks or serious business, I hope this will entice both some of you that love these maps, as well as potential randoms to play here more.
Last and most certainly not least - I have added a trial #3 - 63.215.74.23:27015 - Located in Los Angeles, this will be STOCK-ONLY
The LA server is temporary pending popularity and donations, currently between the l4d server and now two tf2 servers the account drains nearly $100 a month (if we keep the LA Server). I will replicate all admin access and reserve lists on the new #3 as well. It will run at a minimum for a month and I will be throwing $100 of my own money onto this so at least if #3 doesn't get used it all it won't eat into any donation money anyone else has throw down.
Any thoughts, questions or concerns?

At some point it must get so far away that it just gets closer to you again.

Unfortunately yes, the price to put a server in Amsterdam was +$0.50 USD a slot, making it 25% more expensive
If you ping 100 to the Chicago server you will probably ping 150 to the LA one

is wacky races on number 2 now? i have never played it but everyone said its fun.

Re: Server Changes (Starting Tonight) - chronomaster - 03-02-2009
Is Balloon Race on #2 the #2?
You know, the one that clearly exists and cannot be contested otherwise?
Re: Server Changes (Starting Tonight) - Duck, Duck, Goose - 03-02-2009

As far as I know, #1 is mixture of stock and thoroughly vetted custom, #2 is silly "for fun" customs only, and #3 is 100% stock to get the population going and is on the west coast.

Well I rather like custom maps and my ping to the Chicago server has never been that bad when it's working right. So brb #1 is still always gonna be my first choice. I just always had problems with server #2 and the mod server, being waaaaay the fuck out east.
