You asked for it and you got it! A new CS:S server has been ordered and we will work on it this weekend and try to get it out ASAP. We will get the info out to everyone as soon as we've got it up and running.

I want to thank 5witch for being the first to donate towards supporting this new server!

Update for all the people worried about why TS wasnt working.

ATTENTION:
There was a fire and subsequent explosion in the data center of our primary DC provider. Therefore some TS servers are down. As we have no defined timeframe about when the DC will come back to life, we have brought up backup servers in our secondary data center. The latest update from the DC provider indicates that it will take until June 2, 2008 evening time frame to power up the DC again. After that the area will require air conditioning and cooling. Subsequently the servers will be brought up. So - please use the backup servers until then.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please change your IP address to: 85.158.180.44 (valid for all servers)


So that means you now have to change the address to 85.158.180.44:9212
to be able to connect. All other info is still the same.

So, currently we are using the backup servers, when they are fixed, we will convert back to our original server again. I will keep you posted.

Thank you and have a nice day. :blowkiss:

I don't know how many of you guys remember Rainman, but he was a good friend of mine and Lubbin's and was a reg on here for a good while. Unfortunatly, he passed away Friday night in a motorcyle accident. I received a text message at 3:00 am on Saturday morning saying that he had passed away. I finally confirmed this with Lubbin last night. If you guys would keep Raymond's family and fiance in your thoughts/prayers. Also, i know some of you guys ride bikes, be careful, this is the second person from my high school class(2004) that has died as a result of a motorcycle wreck, so be careful.

Now that I know enough to make me dangerous, I've been busy updating our website. The FAQ, Know Your Enemy, Privacy Statement, etc. pages have all been or will be updated in the next few days.

Ah, those wonderful bells! They didn’t last long, but did have the desired effect!

With the end of 2007 fast approaching, I wanted to thank everyone for their continued support of our server fund and web community. Without your generosity, we would not have had the opportunity to meet so many new people and spend countless hours shooting the crap and each other.

We were very fortunate this year, not only in the support we received, but also hearing that two of our fellow DexWorldians, Cossack, serving in Afghanistan and Stank, serving in Iraq, are well. We wish them and their comrades our best and pray for their speedy return home.

We were also met with a little bit of disappointment this past year after two “must have” FPS games were hosted, only to have them fail due to a lack of following. A lot of effort went into to setting up both servers and kudos go to the Admins and fellow players who donated their time to research, configure and tweak these games.

There are a lot of new faces who joined the community this year and to those of you who have complained that DexWorld “isn’t the same” are absolutely correct. It isn’t the same and never will be. We will continue to grow and prosper, change and evolve as time passes. One thing will remain though and that is the commitment to our players to host “fair and balanced” game servers.

This simple rule has enticed many of you to join our ranks and contribute to our community. I am continually amazed by the huge support we received all year long. Whether you donated only once or several times this year, I want to personally thank all of you again for your help and generosity. Special thanks go out to all of the Admins as well for their devotion, time and effort they have given through out the year. We couldn’t do it without each of you.

I wish all of you a most joyous holiday season and prosperous New Year!


Regards,

Butters

We are aware of the recent increase in lag and high ping some of you are experiencing on the servers and are working with our provider to rectify. I'll keep you posted once we know more.

As some of you know, we do offer an Insurgency server.

Address= ins.dexworld.org

Now to some of the new things we are doing to improve your game play.

First off, I have, hopefully, fixed the random crashing that occassionally happens, with a hotfix released from the Insurgency Dev Team.

Secondly, I am adding new custom maps into the rotation.

Current additions=
ins_dust2_r1 (CS map conversion of de_dust)
ins_takhar

Both very good maps and seem to be running good so far.

Now I am planning on adding a couple maps at random until we have all the maps currently released. I will only put up 2 at a time just to see if we potentially have any issues with any of them.

Possible future maps=
ins_crossroads_beta8
ins_baqubah
ins_prisonb1
ins_warehouse_rc1
ins_desert glory
ins_citystreetlarge
ins_bunker_b2a

and for all you CS freaks out there, a map to go with the above dust map, the ever so popular
cs_assault(modified for Insurgency)

Now all of this is also to help in populating the server, which runs pretty good. Some people are having some problems with thier graphics and other things. But we must look to the future and what is there, but a new patch coming out very soon. There is no set date for it yet, but from what I've read, its gonna make quite a few changes in the game play, and make everything so much better.

So, if your not doing anything, or hell, if you are, STOP and join the Dexworld Insurgency Server, and see what your missing.

Have a nice day.:mdan:

All -

As part of Branzone's effort to improve their service, they are moving our DOD server to a new box. The new addy is:

208.100.45.179:27015

Cuis will be redirecting the DNS within the next couple of days. The old server will be up thru month end.

Any issues, please let me know.

Well, after much debate and many suggestions, we've decided to put up an HL2 mod Insurgency Server. It's 20 player. Here are the connection details:

insurgency.dexworld.org:27015 -or-

ins.dexworld.org:27015 both point to it. I had a little trouble connecting using the DNS, so here is the IP

IP: 208.100.45.177:27015

We're currently working out the bugs, setting up shop, etc., so don't expect too much enforcement. Get in there and give us some feedback as to your ping, etc.

Many of you asked for a replacement for BF. While I'm hesitant to put up a new game, many of you and the admins believed that this would be a good alternative. Plus it's free to download - No paying for mods. You can download the game and the patch (that's right, you'll need the patch) at:

http://www.insurgencymod.net/

We'll be setting up a forum site as well, so in the mean time post your comments in the other games section.

As always, we're doing this to maintain community interest. If you like it, please help support it!!


Have fun!

I want to wish everyone here in the States the happiest Fourth of July. Enjoy our nation’s birthday and all it has to offer! To our friends overseas and especially those of you serving in our Armed Forces, I wanted to say thank you for your continued support to our Country and community. You are in our prayers.

Now onto business.

Over the past several weeks, many of you have either posted or contacted me directly regarding the influx of “hackers” playing here at DexWorld. While I’m certain that some of the accusations are warranted I also believe that some of it is out of frustration.

Hacking takes on many forms and provides the users of these “gifts” the ability to turn an average or sub-average player into something super human. While this may be a great ego boost for them, it leaves a bad taste with the other players.

As the Admins and I discussed this problem last night, I began to realize that the issue isn’t the people that want to use “enhancements”; they will always look for the easy way out. It’s really is about how the game play has degraded. It’s not fun to play here anymore.

Whether someone is hacking, mic spamming, degrading other players or just plain being an ass, it has begun to suck the life blood out of this server. I have heard from more than one regular that it just isn’t fun anymore. To make matters worse, these are some of your friends and teammates that have contributed and continue to support what we do here.

To that end, the Admin’s have dedicated to refocus on those things that drew many of you here in the first place. Game play and the overall enjoyment of ALL of the players will be their primary concern.

This means that if you decide you want to belittle someone to the point of them leaving, you’ll be gone. If you decide you need to prove your gaming prowess by going 60-3 on a server with five others, you’ll be gone. If you think it’s would be fun to mic or key spam with the thoughts of antagonizing your opponent, you’ll be gone. You want to keep switching names in an effort to throw people off, you'll be gone.

Bottom Line. If you degrade the game play of the server to the point that it pisses off the others or challenge the fundemental rules of the server, you’ll be gone.

No warning, no second chances. No pleading in the forums. You will earn a permanent ban.

Some may consider this harsh or extreme, but when I consider all of the people that have been here over the years, given their time and money and promoted this server to their friends, I believe that their interest comes first.

I know, we could find all sorts of methods to detect cheaters, but in reality, it more than that. It’s to stop those of you who decide your score, stat or satisfaction comes at the price of the other players.

Enough said.

Other News – With the summer months here, many of you will be venturing outside to bask in the warm sun and hopefully find someone to share in outdoor activities away from the computer. As a means to conserve cash and stretch every dollar, we have killed off the BF2 server and will not consider putting up a replacement until fall. Lots of good suggestions were posted about replacements, but until we get a better commitment of players and support, we simply can’t afford it.

Many of you continue to bounce around the idea of getting together for a LAN party. Our last attempt failed because we could not secure enough prepaying participants. A lot of people said they would show, but something came up or they couldn’t pull together the funds to get to the party. Our two previous LAN’s cost this community more than it brought in. While I’d be more than happy to put something together, we can’t make a commitment unless we can cover the costs. Contact me if you want more specifics.

In the upcoming weeks, we will be announcing the much anticipated Admins vs. Leeches scrim. Yes, you will have your chance to once again own the admins..........

In closing, I want to say thanks to all of you who continue to promote and support our community through your donations, technical wherewithal and kind words to friends and family. As we enjoy this holiday, I am reminded of how important it is that we represent all of the people of our online community and do what’s best for everyone.

Happy Fourth!
