If the general audience and regulars would like the changes, then it doesn't have to result in low player counts.

Duby and I had a little talk about an idea of mine in order to make the gameplay easier to understand and a bit more fun in general (also for regulars). In my opinion it's unnecessary to have both G4K and Supply Crates. So I propose the following changes: - Supply Crates are replaced with 1-2 (more) random placed Mobile Supplies. These are unclaimed. Players can look for them during the preparation (+ game) time and claim it. People who spawn with Mobile Supplies (as part of their loadout) can place theirs as normal. - Claimed Mobile Supplies can be moved by the owner. And the owner earns SP when people use them. - Once the owner dies, the Mobile Supply can be claimed by someone else. (same as it already is) - Weapon upgrades are automatically received based on SP. (much like G4K) This should also make it more runner friendly. Optional: - Return the 'ammo timer' so people can run more easily. HP recover still requires a Mobile Crate. - There might be a limit on maximum of claimed crates per player. To prevent 1 player having all the crates. What are your thoughts?

And there's one more benefit and that is that this network has more peers. Which means a direct connection/deal with other providers and ISPs. Although I'm unsure if those are mainly Dutch or also contain more international peers. Have to ask about that yet. More peers should mean lower pings yes. For everyone in The Netherlands (apart from any western provinces) the pings should be lower as well since this network is located in Dronten (Flevoland) instead of Amsterdam.

The MTA servers just moved to a new server and they have NEW IP-addresses. MTA Race race.mrgreengaming.com:22003OR 5.2.65.5:22003MTA Race Mix racemix.mrgreengaming.com:22003OR 5.2.65.6:22003You can remove the old servers from your favorites. Zombie Survival and Darkest Days servers will move in a few days. - Ywa

Thanks for the tip. But we're already moving to a network that has better protection features. Putting a proxy before the gameserver is a solution, but would increase the latency, which is a no-go in my opinion.

They'll move to new machines as well, however, they'll stick together.

Read my first post. I said that we'll do that.

Nah it won't.

Hi everyone, Due to the recent DDoS attacks most gameservers (both MTA servers, Zombie Survival and Darkest Days) will be moved to a different network which is more capable of filtering specific DDoS attacks and such. This change unfortunately brings an IP change for all gameservers. Especially for the Zombie Survival server this kinda hurts, since it still uses the same IP since the first day back in 2006. To make players aware of the IP change we'll host 'redirect' servers on the old IPs to inform players that we moved. However, these redirect servers will be removed after 1-2 months. Anyways, this is just to inform you guys beforehand. When this move will exactly happen isn't known yet. But it'll be probably somewhere coming weekend or early next week. - Ywa

MTA Race Mix server now runs on a temporary IP: race.mrgreengaming.com:23003

Thanks for the help but fighting a DDoS is being worked on. But making that possible takes some changes in our current system. And the system acts stupid so that's why all the servers are down. In worst case the servers will come online tomorrow. But I'm hoping I can still fix some stuff this night.

Just heads up: The GreenCoins and such are still fine.

Hi everyone, As everyone now knows, we've been having quite some server troubles the past few days. These issues still continue today as I look into several solutions. So basically someone DDoS'ed us a couple of times. This is something we can't do much against. Thanks to this the Race Mix server stayed down to prevent further DDoS attacks on that IP address. So as I said, I'm working hard on getting everything back on track. - Ywa

Server is down due to a DDoS.

Thanks for feedback AleksCore. I've just implemented a couple of suggestions. Will look into the others later.

Should be fixed now.

Update is live. I see there's still some work to do though. Please report any problems/suggestions here.

Got it

That's why I push it tomorrow. I do have some spare hours to do quick-fixes when they are needed.

Since Duby is not available I will push the update tomorrow (19th) during daytime.

Changed topic title. There's no official sequel. Good luck with the server though.

And now you have less GCs than before or after the crash xDI bet he hopes we'll have another crash soon.

Are you sure that you login with the right details? @ ZeldaK: That shouldn't be necessary. @ Goldberg: That bug should be fixed by now (since yesterday). But his account is already activated, so that was unrelated anyways.

Do you have CStrike mounted?
