AW Servers Going Down

[Disco Karate]

Just wanted to make the announcement, so you guys know.  The AW Quake 2 servers (Railz, Railz Match, Spamfest, & Fragcension) are being shut down permanently on February 2.  All of us Q2 division guys are awfully sad, but DeeDee has his reasons, I suppose.  We are rallying together and are attempting to get up some new AW servers.  Also, the AW OSP server will still be up since it is run by someone else in the clan.

Anyhoo, wanted to let you guys know, since you stand alone as the frontrunner in the battle to keep Q2 alive.  There are still quite a few dedicated Q2'ers in AW, and we will continue to be part of the Q2 scene, hopefully for a long time to come.

Here's to the end of an era.  Hopefully we will get up new servers soon.

Sorry to hear that, hope you're able to find new servers.

Thanks for letting everyone know.  I for one, won't let Q2 die.  I've pitched in to host and would do so again.  I play other games but keep coming back to the Q2.

yeah..   weird..  I was just thinking about that possibility today...  no idea why.  honestly!

so long AW rails,   the only reason I'm here today was those servers...
maybe tasty can tailer one of its servers to match the old AW setup... ie. Fast rails
nobody's really on wallhackers much, even though its neat to have around.

We made some strides last week at at recovering some CPU by moving a number of processes off to different hardware, leaving tastyspleen.net for pure q2 servers, plus apache running the forums at its customary lowest-possible priority (CPU-wise.)

I'm fairly certain we have enough CPU to attempt one more active server...  If you like, host an AW server here, you'll have rcon, but could hook in to the 'goto' command at your preference.

Just a thought, vive q2

wow, that server has been around for years !
I am sure a lot of players are going to miss it.


Peace

 That is so sad to hear.  I've never played on their servers but it is always unfortunate to see another server go down when there are really slim pickens for Q2 sites.  Thank God for the Spleen.

wow that suck. That was pretty much the only place I was still playing. I barely have time to play so I enjoyed the join and kill without bothering about controling the map style of play. Oh well..it looks like my playing time will be close to 0 now.

It was fun whil it lasted.
