It's been nearly a year since we closed the TF2 servers and I hope you are all doing well. If anyone is interested we have a Discord "Game-Over" server for voice and text chat, to help everyone keep in touch.

Discord is a new service similar to TeamSpeak or Skype. It has a great GUI and allows for forum style text chat and messaging as well as voice. It uses low resources and idles nicely in the background as an app. It has become very popular quite quickly, expecially in the Twitch/streaming scene.

You can connect to Discord via web browser, mobile or desktop App. We'd be happy to create a personal voice channel on there for old regulars and admins, so you can have a private haven on there if you wish. and we would love to see old friends and new pop in and say hi.

Heres the link: https://discord.gg/0od3osz8efdf0cbm

You can find out more about Discord here: https://discordapp.com/

Whatever you are up to, I hope it is going well and you are having fun.

Take care o7.

Cheers

Well guys & gals, as announced and planned nearly 12 months ago, we are finally approaching that time to turn off the GO light and wish our beloved TF2 servers a long and well earned sleep.

I think the time is now right and the servers will finally close on Monday 2nd March (AM).

I will keep the Game-Over steam group going (it's free so why not) so that anyone who wants to can remain joined and still keep in touch. I will change the group profile and revamp it to a more general community gaming group and I will be sure to check in from time to time.

No long speeches about Valve this time. Valve indirectly created our community and then Valve directly destroyed our community (and most other TF2 communities), that's all there is left to say on that one.

I want to finish though with a huge thanks to all the great founders, admins, members and regular players who have contributed so much to the Game-Over servers and this community over the past few years and made it so much fun. The main people who have been at my side through good times and bad - you all know who you are - thank you! I will look back on this period of my life with many happy memories.

Let's not be sad then, let's just say cheers for the good times we've all enjoyed together!

So cheers everyone. Thanks again, good luck and all the very best to each
and every one of you :-)

The Halloween 2014 map is now up on server #4, so enjoy the event everyone!

Servers #2 and #6 have been updated with Halloween costumes and spells. RTD has been removed for now as you have spells instead.

Karts have now been enabled on servers #2 and #6. Just type /car in chat to activate your kart and start racing. Type /car again to exit your Kart. Enjoy Mario fans :-)

08/08/14 (1140hrs): All servers are now back online. Apologies again for the extended downtime. The VSH servers have also been updated to version 1.47 and a full list of changes is available on our forums.

----------------

08/08/14 (0930hrs): Last nights update from Valve broke the TF2 server client on Windows Server 2008 machines. The update put the game client in a permenent bootup crash loop. Valve released a fix in the early hours this morning and we are working on that now.

Whilst the servers are down we will take the opportunity to update the VSH servers to the latest version and perform general maintenance, and the servers should be back online by 11am at the latest.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

The servers are back up and everything appears to be working - please let us know on the forums if you experience any problems.

Once again apologies for the downtime.

----------------------

The servers are currently down due to last nights update causing issues with Sourcemod, VSH, plugins, etc.

We are making progress on repairs and hope to have some or all of the servers back up later this morning.

Apologies for the downtime.
