New ZPS Server!?

[Pillz]

I NEED THIS INSIDE ME NOW. I AM HAVING WITHDRAWALS AND WITH ALL THE OLD COOL KIDS HERE IT'S EVEN WORSE. So much nostalgia, and I feel dirty playing the old server now despite it's essentially mine..

I'll be willing to donate what I can to help make this happen, and any other donations would be awesome too.

When I owned my own server I paid 24$ish a month for a 20 slot server, and it ran beautifully. I know that might be a bit high as I always heard, but it seemed worth it and there was rarely any downtime. Working two jobs I could easily donate 20-25$ to buy us one; as I don't see getting a box at the moment as a practical goal. Also when you buy them for that much from a decent host they come set up for the most part. I can figure out Source/Meta mod and any extra plugins but I'm going to need some admins..

I will only do it if the community is willing to play and help populate; so let me know how you all feel about this, and what exactly should be done serverwise. I'm not going to waste my money to let the server sit there so it only see's population after I play for an hour.


If we do it though, I'd be willing to do whatever the community wants to see, RPG system and pillscure/puke excluded. :p No deathruns? StockRotation? Would we even have FastDL(I'm thinking we still do..?) and the such.

I'm nostalgiaing so hard I almost want a HL2DM puzzle server and a killbox server.

I can help with source/meta if you need

I'm hoping it comes installed but I had to do it once when wholegrain went missing and managed to do it; I think. I'll probably try again since as ZPS head I should be able to; but I'll be glad to let you take a peaksee and make sure imdoinitrite.

Yeah.  It's still on the website.

okay, Fanboy moment over

[Christovski]

Just when I think I'm out....Pillz pulls me back in....

Maybe...just MAYBE I'll reinstall ZPS...

Suggestion:  Could you name it the various names of former community servers? Swap them once a month or so?  Considering I think the CG name needs to be changed, due to the bad reputation placed on it.

May I recommend you name it Claire's Torture Chamber for the LOLz.   Then KAT, then POD, etc.

And when (not if) we get our own box, I suggest separate ZPS servers in the names of the old groups.  Specific game play for each. 

Thoughts?

I was thinking of talking to wholegrain and having the Slaughterhouse name removed from the server as he always wanted it just to be conjointgaming.com anyway; but I like that idea too.


Thing is, as head admin for many years I've noticed that most players pay no attention to server name, but there are some who do. Mainly the ones who go; OH WAIT THIS ISN'T CVG?

From what I gather, the old server may have been sold...

[Sejo Mino]

The old server might have been sold indeed. All i know is that it goes under Conjoint Gaming.org on all the servers.

ALSO i want to see a new ZPS server up.

[Doc. Mentalist S.]

If it was sold, then wouldn't the same server on my favourite list be renamed into something other than the IP address?
It's not sold yet, just shut down as are the other servers.

It is either sold or burned to the ground like wholegrain/scott posted in his Facebook Conjoint Gaming Page.
