Well, sometimes people just get sick of a particular game and then feel awkward about saying "I gotta quit for a while" and just "disappear" instead. Hopefully it isn't RL issues that made them go silent. I had a "LIFYO" server a couple years ago, and I just got sick of the game. The server community never really emerged in the way we wanted it, so it mainly was just one small clique of guys building stuff and dueling from time to time and nothing like real PvP ever emerged. I had paid for the server space for a year so I basically just made one of the guys who was still into the game an admin on it, and gave him some directions on how to take care of it, and never went back.
If the Game masters of Red vs Blue were giving up on the Server & it was dead, i'da at least appreciated notice on it so I wouldn't keep waiting for something that would never come like a abandoned puppy at a Street Corner...
I'm still around, of course. Still building and updating ships for the RGC, as well. I know @Brokenshakles and @Methodik have been busy on their side project, and last I heard @MechPilot524 was still working on the solar system bit by bit. Although perhaps it wouldn't hurt to look for more players so we can have some PvP going in the meantime (and a private server to play on).
I'm glad Mech's still at it. Hope that means the Server's NOT done for, especially considering the new Map Idea is still cool & I still really wanna see how it works out as a Mad Empyrion Science Experiment.
I'm really too busy to get into a PvP lifestyle (I'm already failing to keep up with my play-by-email!), but you guys seem like nice guys and the model you have in place for the combat being fairly structured, i.e., well outside the gray area where PvP blends into 'griefing,' so I suppose I'd be _curious_ . . .
No reason ya couldn't stay in the PvE Areas & do stuff like Building, Mining, & such exclusively & take such loads off the other Allies of your Faction that might prefer doing other things. (I know I do a lot of the Mining for the GMTs when i'm able to be on, & can even find it relaxing!) I know how ya feel having such problems, & that's why Grey was the perfect Faction for me, cause a 'Player NPC' kinda Playstyle was & still is a hell of a lot more doable for me & my unstable erratic 'no such thing as Interruption Free Time' RL. Among the reasons I love this MP Server so much! It's rare for me to find a MP Server & MP peeps that can accommodate & welcome the likes of me. ^_^ Speakin of Grey, I am Co-CO of the GMTs if ya would be interested in Joining us.
BAH! You've summoned me from the deep dark reaches of the unknown! *holds up hand to block the sun from eyes* I am really sorry I haven't been active here lately... Basically here are some of the things I've got on my plate: - Wife is preggers (7 weeks along! ) - Working full time - Studying for two pretty intensive technical certifications - Working on the side project with @Brokenshakles - Building a Hosting Solutions/IT Services business So as you can see, my plate is slightly full, and I have to occasionally fit sleep in there somewhere. HOWEVER. The primary RvB server is still intact, just powered off at the moment (took it down somewhere in the 3's version). I do need to make sure that the expectation is clear that I can only act as sysadmin for the infrastructure. The actual coding, gameplay, in-game administration, etc. that will need to be handled by someone in here. If any of you would like to take on that role please let me know, and I can get you setup with access to the machine once I spin the server back up. The best way to get a hold of me is to message me on Steam (Methodik) or shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]. Also...the test server is still online, but @MechPilot524 has to be the one to get it updated and running again. He built it a little differently than the primary RvB server, and I'm unable to get it going again on my own. So TL;DR Let me know if you guys are ready to bring the server back online, but someone's gotta handle administration of Empyrion itself. Cheers!
I wish your Wife well! I am glad all is indeed still well. I just got worried about how long it had been since I had heard from ya, Broke, & Mech. Slam's the only one still maintaining regular Contact with me, & that might be partially cause we share a love of Hover War Tanks.
Hey, i take offense to that, although I don't talk as much as often as slam does. As for news about SV's and CV's for those who aren't on the private forums we got, I've made myself a private command ship and a new Transport SV with the new jet thrusters. I've called the SV the "Wyvern" based off a ship with the same name in Space Engineers, and the new CV 'The Asylum" which is named because its got everything to keep me locked up in it for a long time....
I consider your Contact with me 'infrequent'. With that said, i'll be damn glad when I get this Alien POI Contest Entry done, cause I miss my HV, SV, & CV Mad Empyrion Science & feel like i'm falling way behind on it... including making more GMT stuff. I haven't even had a chance to show off my Tyrax Dragonfly yet & it's probably already obsolete too... let alone my latest Hover War Tank which is now not latest enough, literally. (HV Turret Base changes recently probably screwed up the Looks of my Turret Mountings on the War Tank, & Thruster Changes probably screwed it over too.)
Hi guys, So since I have not had hardly any response on interest in bringing the primary RvB server back online, I will be re purposing the bare metal hardware to move towards some virtualization goals I've had for awhile. Slam and Tyrax are the only folks that replied here, and I can't justify a server sitting lonely and cold with no direction in life for just two of ya. One of you guys hit me up to keep the test server alive though! If we can shake @MechPilot524 out of his hiding place he can show me how he runs it and I'll take it from there! I will still have the resources to host things for you guys should the community get its legs back under it and I fully well intend to (you guys were my first big project after all). You all know where to find me, and I am usually on Steam, so don't hesitate to come ask me to rebuild something on my sleek new virtualized platform! I am waiting on some additional drive components to come in, so the server will not be torn down until then (could be a couple weeks). I will of course be saving the content of the server and giving a copy back to @Brokenshakles, but message me if you would like something specific. Keep it real everyone.
I've been worrying about if the Red vs Blue Server Remake was never gonna get completed & is gonna end up dying... With that said, there really is no good reason for Resource Power like that to just go to waste sitting idly by for nothing.
HE'S ALIVE!!!!! ... AND APPARENTLY ANGRY!! FLEE! QUICKLY, FLEE!!! *Coughs nervously* Oh, uh, hi Mech. Hope all is well
