Compliments of our very own [nFb]Chainz, we now have a TF2 server up and running! There are some custom maps running on this server so please be sure and download the mappack right here.
Stay tuned for a complete site update, the launch of our very own dedicated server, and news regarding new members!
Good news! Our server host made some major upgrades to their servers and networks. Bad news; we had to change our IP address….
Velocity Servers is one of, if not the best CS server host provider on the market therefore I am sure that this change will only “enhance” the performance of our already fantastic server.
Here is a complete summary of the changes that were made to our server/network and how the changes will effect us:

Dear Client,
We've proven to you our dedication to your happiness, and have shown time and time again that ultimately, we're here to ensure you're satisfied with being a customer of Velocity Servers. It is for this reason that we'll be changing providers in New York City. Starting this Friday the 24th, and ending on Sunday the 26th, we'll be undergoing major renovations in our New York City location to better serve you. You may wonder why we're doing this, and the answer is simple: performance.
Of course, there are some negatives, namely:
1. Downtime will occur throughout the weekend, but of course, it will be as minimal as possible
2. You will be receiving a new IP, as it is currently impossible for us to maintain the same IP allocations we have
All clients will be emailed their new IP, and it will also be availble in your control panel. Keep in mind, no configs, settings, values, tweaks, or editing of any sort will be altered. Your server will be how it was prior to the move, just with a different IP. We understand this may cause an inconvenience, but please realize, the new network will yield many more benefits than downfalls.
How does this effect you?
1. Your pings will be lower
2. Your routes will be more optimal
3. Everyone else connecting to your server will have a much better gaming experience
4. We will be more able to provide better service in the way of hardware stability and performance
We will be available to answer all questions and concerns via the support ticket terminal, which you can access at: https://billing.velocity-servers.net. We will be more than happy to provide you with answers to your questions. Please be courteous though, asking for constant updates will hinder our ability to efficiently return your server to an online status.
In summary:
August 24th-26th downtime can be expected due to a provider change
IP will change, but proper notifications will be made
A new and improved network is on the way
https://billing.velocity-servers.net for any and all concerns over the course of the weekend
Thank you for being understanding throughout the course of these events. When all is said and done, it's safe to say you will be glad we did this, and so will all the new gamers you attract due to the increased performance you're going to receive off our improved network!
