Hey everybody, sadly, the server changes have brought some hard times to the Dust 2 server.

We need to get this thing populated, because if it stays like this too much longer, we will no longer have it.

Only YOU can save the Dust2 server!

As I'm sure you are all aware, we are always looking for ways to promote the servers to get them more populated-- one way of doing so, which we've done in the past, is by having IPs within a certain range that the Steam Server Browser appears to pick up on faster (If I'm understanding this correctly). Anyway, we switched over all the box's IPs to the following:


24/7 Dust 2 -- 74.86.81.65:27015


WCS #1 -- 74.86.81.66:27015


WCS #2 -- 74.86.81.67:27015


Zombie -- 74.86.81.68:27015


Surf -- 74.86.81.64:27015


Bolts and Screws #1 -- 74.86.81.70:27015


Bolts and Screws #2 -- 74.86.81.71:27015


Left 4 Dead #1 -- 74.86.81.72:27015


WCS / ZM -- 89.145.117.37:27015

Everyone get ready to read a lot: we have a lot of really big changes happening, and they're all listed below:

First and foremost, we have shut down our old CS:S servers... and moved them to our brand new, dedicated box! Below is P2 with a brief explanation:


We did it guys. The box has been purchased. We now own an Intel Harpertown 5450 beast of a machine direct from Quantum-Servers.com. Here are the quick specs:

*Intel Harpertown 5450 - 2 x 4 Cores @ 3Ghz w/ 2 x 12mb L2 Cache
*4 Gigs DDR2 Memory
*300GB SCSI Hard Drive
*Custom CentOS 5 64bit Kernel (Linux)
*100mbit Port

Since we're Quantum's 2nd dedicated server customer, Steve is doing as much as he can to ensure our full satisfaction. He's gonna help us squeeze every ounce of power from this new machine, codenamed Big Bertha (for the lulz). He's a wizard with Linux and we're extremely lucky to have him by our side; he's virtually acting as our own managed services technician (which normally cost a ridiculous amount of money) for free. This is the first Linux dedicated server UV has owned since the spring of 2007, thats nearly 2 years of having to deal with the overhead of Windows.

Another thing I'd like to note: Steve is gonna set up an automated Backup service on one of their redundancy systems that will connect to our box and do nightly backups of all of our game server files. We'll finally have something to help us breath easy when something goes wrong and files mysteriously go amiss. Woots. o=

Here are the new IPs:

24/7 Dust 2 -- 208.43.62.145:27015


WCS #1 -- 208.43.62.147:27015


WCS #2 -- 208.43.62.148:27015


Zombie -- 208.43.62.150:27015


Surf -- 208.43.62.144:27015





Secondly, we promised expansion into new games, and we have DELIVERED. We now have a Warcraft: Source/Zombie server, one operational Team Fortress 2 server online now, and another Team Fortress 2 server as well as two Left 4 Dead servers COMING THIS WEEK. These are new servers, so please bear with us while we fine-tune the settings and map rotations. The IPs are below:



24/7 Goldrush/Badwater -- 208.43.62.146:27015


TF2 #2 -- IP Forthcoming

L4D #1 -- 208.43.62.152:27015

L4D #2 -- IP Forthcoming

WCS/ZM -- 89.145.117.37:27015





It should be noted that the WCS/ZM server is under Hannibal's control-- HOWEVER, the server has it's own RCON password, which he will not have access to; he will only be maintaining it for us, because of his past experience with the WCS/ZM mod. I expect that the fact that the server is his shouldn't be an issue; it is a VERY cool mod, and I think Hannibal will be a great person to run it.



That brings our current server total to TEN (10); with these new servers, we hope our community will increase, but we need your help to make this a success! Please help populate these servers!



Third, of course with all these new servers, we can't possibly hope to have discussions for all ten servers in one "Our Servers" forum, so please be sure to check out our brand new "Our Servers" subforum! Over time, server information and rules will be pinned up in each forum; in addition, suggestions and bug reports about the specific server can be made in the correct forum.

Hey guys, P2 here. I've decided to convert our two Zombie Mod Servers back into a single unit again. I never really liked the idea of splitting up our ZM community into two sectors because I'd expected only one would really take off.

The new, single Zombie Mod Server is a copy cat of our old school Zombie Mod configuration dating back to January of 2007, the one that put UV on the map.


Server IP: 8.9.9.112:27015
Server Name: =(UV)= Zombie Mod Insanity [www.JoinUV.com] Classic Reloaded


It runs Zombie Mod 1.2.6, NOT any of the more recent 2.0 betas. The biggest difference with going back to 1.x Zombie Mod is the night vision activation on zombification, something I've always thought added to the "feel" of the game. I hope this attracts some of the old-school Zombie Mod folk, like myself, to our community.

HLstatsX from Zombiemod #1 has been moved to the new server and has been given a slight adjustment. The maximum/minimum possible point gains have been increased greatly to allow point totals for individuals to raise into the hundreds of thousands (100,000+). This should bring a level of uniqueness to our HLstatsX tracking system that nearly all other HLX servers do not employ. I hope you guys like it!

That is all.

Hey everybody, we have just opened a new Zombiemod server with classic settings. Reload, no classes, no propmenu, just the original Zombiemod you fell in love with!

You can find it here, I'll be in-game when this is posted, I hope to see you there! - Oreo
