The server may not be updated. :(

I'll try to get in right now and see if I get the same error.

Just admit it. This is all a lengthy conspiracy to keep me from playing with you guys. I bet there's even cake on that server.

Yeah, we'll open it up once the cake is finished. :p

Damn, I've been busy with real life stuff and it seems I notice the TF2 night the day after it actually happens. Like right now, I'm a day late again.

But just posting now so I will hopefully remember to get in on these nights again.

Well gentlemen, this may be the last gaming night (tomorrow) on the current server.

For the amount of use it gets, I can't really justify the 34 bux a month anymore. At least not on my own.

If anyone wants to keep it alive, here's an option to drop some cash on the server directly.

We might be able to setup a private server with a significantly reduced cost, but it seems interest has waned with the summer time.

Thoughts?

thank TheInternet1980 for doing all this; but given the volume I participate in ATOT-exclusive TF2 events, in all brutual honesty I don't see myself paying for a dedicate server when we can just play in others.

So it seems this may be the end of TF2 nights, unless someone has a server they want to donate for a night here and there.

I was looking around at the cost of running a server and it seems to be ~$100/month for a 24-man TF2 server, which seems like a decent price to me. Now, I know nothing about running a server, but if people were willing to come and play relatively regularly, I would have no problem with ponying up the money for that and keeping everything up to date so we have a place to hang out.

I would probably change the location if I was to do this, so it's a little more central. Does anyone have a clue about which hosts are good/bad?

Let me know your thoughts.

I am here for the rescue!


My friend has a server up 24x7! We have had it up for months now, just waiting for people to use it. I will get the info from him and paste it in here tomorrow.


Please stay tuned!

I know someone already offered, but I have a TF2 server thats just sitting idle. I run the box at my house, so there aren't any hosting fees or anyting like that. Feel free to give it a try.

Name: /\/\/\Captain Planet's Awesome TF2 Server/\/\/
Address: captainplanet.game-server.cc:27015

If you give it a shot, let me know if anything needs tweaked changed. I haven't been able to get alot of people on there, so I don't know how well it handles load or if the config is setup to the liking of most people.

The box is a C2D 3.0GHz, 2GB RAM, Raptor drive running on Windows 2008. I've got business class cable with avg 1.5 megabit upload.

Like I said, give it a shot and let me know if you need/want something changed.

Added to favs. :)

Hopefully we can get something organized on one of those servers.

Where is the server? east/central/west?

We are going to be playing tonight (6/17) starting sometime between 8:00 and 9:00 PM Eastern Time.

nataSofCols is the admin and will be on there so hopefully we can get a lot of AAT folks on with us to test out the server!

Hope to see you there!

Thanks, I'll try that tonight. I couldn't get it to add the other day either.

Hope to see you in-game.
