Hi all!

I thought I would fill you in on whats been going on around here.


First I would like to say the MvM servers are done with the wave setups for now. Everything is fixed in terms of numbers and times. I appreciate all players patience while we tested the first lot of easy and hard waves. As I noticed alot of various issues.
The only problem we have now is fixing the nextmap problem. reguardless of what map is next, decoy takes over as the next map. It could be the server crashing, but not sure.
I have got the boss onto it and he will work on it over the next few days.


As for the Freak Fortress 2 server, this mod is turning out to be a difficult install. So some things wont work and others do. Bear with us on that one.
Models show for some people and not others. they are on the fastdl server so it should all work. I have heard people have random issues with it.
If its going get to a point where its shit and wont be used we will move on from it and find something else for it.


The trade servers have been packed out since the new update, witch is fantastic! There are a lot of new users coming to trade, but seem to not understand some basic rules. It would be great if our regulars could help us out a little and point out some of the general rules to these users if they seem to be a problem.


You may of noticed the PL and CP servers got a slight overhaul too. Thanks to Bioxide, he has come up with a stock rotation and a radical change to the servers that could mix things up a little to general server gameplay.
PL and CP are now one server, while the other is KOTH and Attack-Defend. Check them out, have a go and let us know what you think!


You will also be aware that we have stats for all our servers. This seems to have started a bit of a competition to the top. Its very interesting to see how much time users spend on the servers. Since the stats went up a week ago, the recent changes and the latest TF2 update, we have had the following traffic to the new stats servers:
Main servers: approx 300 new users
MVM: 1008 users
Trade servers: just about 3000 users
Hale: 1001 users

It's great to see these numbers, now we have stats on all servers. Of course some of those numbers could be the same player on all 4 areas, but it's still counted as a seperate user.
I have yet to work out a good time to reset stats, this could happen around every 3 months.


Now with all that out of the way, I would like to welcome Hyperace and Maddog to the admin team. Hyper is from Southland, NZ. Maddog is from Auckland, NZ.
While they will both be allround admins, Maddog will admin the Hale server more than the others. Welcome fellas!

That concludes this report for the month. If you would like to place any feedback about the servers, we would appreciate it. You are all part of our awesome community so anything that you have to say, that could help us in any way, let us know.

Cheers!

Gutty

I'm disappointed about the missing breaking news that .osiRiS joined the CP server and filled it like a BOSS.
