Title: Upcoming AAO25.com Changes
Post by: Spanky on Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 03:02:14 AM
To some of you, it's no secret that I'm disappointed with AA and even with AAO25. I could go on and on with what I hate about AA but I'll spare the drama and AA flaming in this news post. The point of this news post is to alert users of a few changes that will be coming up. The first is a hand-off of this website and the AAO25.com domain. I no longer want the responsibility of hosting this website or performing development or administration work for AA or AAO25. Jared (utRoda (http://aao25.com/profile/?u=7)) has always shown interest in hosting AAO25 so he will assume control of this website and the domain. The process is likely to bring some downtime to the website as it's transferred from one host to another.

The second announcement I would like to make is of plans that me and Gnar will be starting a project unrelated to AA. Select people that were on Headshot will be invited to a sneak peek at the project after it has had more time to develop.

Life is full of changes. Just moved over from 3.3 and back to 2.6. It has been awhile for me but I would like to thak all of you for keeping this alive. the mind set of our clan is why did we ever leave.
I f you guys need any help in the hosting hit up topster in steam. He has been around for years and is a GSP (topgunservers.com).
Sorry to see you leave.

Considering how low mAAp usage is and the fact that no new mAAp updates have been published for many months, I'm not sure why some of you are sorry to see me go. The site will remain the same, the admins that are active now will still be active after the site's moved. Literally nothing will change.

Don't worry I'll bring him back as soon as I get visa to USA.
I also take Mastercard.

I'm scared because you are the best admin. I don't know what Jared do if i crash page. For example pit punish me so hard, that I still feel my anus...

I would ban you :)

There's better ways to bring bugs up than acting like a child. How about an email, or pm.

AAO25.com &  Auth System/Server are in different locations, Auth can work without the Site as the site without the Auth xD
host change will not affect the game.

Damn, I was hoping it would be like the old days, when auth was down and you could log in with whatever name you wanted :)

I am waiting for Jared to be ready. He's busy working on some things and I'm not going to rush him. A few more days or a couple weeks on my hosting account doesn't really make a difference to me.

At most, there might be a 24 hour period as the name servers in the domain update globally. This website only has content related to Assist but it has nothing to do with Assist's function or features. This site could be deleted and Assist would still function like normal.

it's almost impossible to bring "new features" to the game, but, we are working on an Assist update.
tell me, what kind of updates the game needs? You know, we have alot of limitations when it comes to modding the game :).

Also it will be nice, to see if you guys can remove glitches in-game if that could be possible

The main problem of AA2.5 is the number of servers. More servers than players. 10 servers would be really enought. It would be full whole time on different maps.

Now every1 is big boy cause he has his own server.

Assist just made it easier, now days almost everyone can host a server fine.

And this is HUGE PROBLEM.

I said one day. Let's imagine.

There is 150 players online, and only 10 servers active (on 10 different maps).

1 server = ~15 players

This is the only one way to bring activity back. Now 2 servers on Bridge Crossing- 6 players, 9 players. One server and 15 players would be much better.

early AA had more than 1000 servers, most of them unused, nothing new.
IMO, less servers will make ppl think that the game is dying again, isntead of reducing servers, try to bring more ppl to fill em.

But the question is- how to do it?

People write "mod x" when they join to the server. They love mods, not normal, pure gameplay. That's sad, and that's not simple. Full server on Border for few hours yesterday. Why? Because of SF weapons and respawn.

Fucking sad.

Sorry to hear that Spanky. Best wishes for the future.

If you guys need help with the running the forums, let me know.
I know I am not much around lately due to real life and other things I am doing, but I can still help with running the forums and what not.

On another note, one of my unit server (82nd/USAT) has lately been the most populated in the evenings :) Thank you to all players!!
