sneaK's Servers

Hey guys, I just wanted to update you all on what's been going on behind the scenes - most of it was unnoticeable up until about recently, when some bad performance issues started to occur.

As discussed in this update, I had planned on moving all of our NA servers over to a new system, which provides quite a few more QOL features for myself and for all players. I successfully migrated about half of our servers to a separate machine about a month ago, whilst I was fairly apprehensive about moving some of our biggest servers - NA Easy Surf & NA KZ over to a new machine, due to downtime and possible issues - well, we hit on some pretty annoying issues, suffered a DOS attack of sorts, but WE MADE IT THROUGH.

This should be the end of any sorts of downtime on our NA servers, everything should run smoothly from here on out. To thank you all for your patience for the past couple days worth of instability, I've added a coupon code to the Donation store - use code SUMMER10 for 10% off all VIP Packages & Store Credits (Excl. Lifetime VIP). Expires Tuesday 6/19 @ Midnight.

To rehash, here are some of the advantages of this move:

• Instantly synced replay bots
• Near-instantaneous game updates (minutes after they're released, don't wait any longer for game updates)
• Faster crash recovery
• Private servers
• Maps added more quickly
• Slightly better performing game servers

• Added surf_nebula (T2 Linear)
• Added surf_summit (T1 Linear, also added on Very Easy Surf!)
• kz_nocturns_blue updated to match global version, please delete your local map if you have it downloaded!

Happy June everybody! I hope everyone is ready for an awesome summer, I have been cooking some really cool things up for you guys that I know you'll like!

• Added surf_hollow (T5 Linear)
• Added surf_life_of_cow (T3 Staged)
• kz_erratum -> kz_erratum_v2, all bots/times ported
• kz_morestairs -> kz_morestairs_msq, all bots/times ported
• Reverted mapvote menu change on KZ servers from 5/24, as players were accidentally extending the map when unknowingly wanting to teleport to their own checkpoint, effectively doubling daily map extends. Yikes! (thanks @Mylifetogive)
• Added a few more general metrics to the surf stats page
• Various back-end fixes and upgrades.

The Minecraft server has also been seeing lots of improvements, additions, and all around more cool stuff, come join us in Discord and hop in the Minecraft channel for how to join!

• Added surf_bumpybusride (T3 Staged)
• Added surf_zor (T2 Linear)

I've setup a vanilla Minecraft server that is pretty barebones right now, it will be whitelist only for the duration of setup & testing. If you would like to join us for some fun, or even help out check the pins in the Minecraft channel on Discord!
