Backy 104 / 3,438 Report Post Posted October 7, 2018 Edited October 7, 2018 by Backy Hello CS:S ZE community members (and other .com members), We wanted to let you know that the discussion and preparations for the community merge or reunion with GFLclan.com are finally complete. We know that it has taken a long time, and that the news first came to you as a shock. Regardless of that, the Head admin team, admins, and other influential members in this community have done all we can to make decisions in the best interest of the longevity of this server/community. We want to extinguish all rumors or preconceptions that anything major will be changing and that people were betrayed or not considered when undergoing this major change. All relevant members of the .ru "staff" were consulted and we came to this decision together. Anyways, many people on both sides of .ru and .com worked extremely hard to make this happen, so please be sure to give them your thanks. To those of you still doubting this merge, rest assured that if things kept going in the direction that they were heading, our future would not be very bright. A lot of things are different than they seem when you get to see behind the curtain and see the full picture. So to say it for the final time, this is the best option for the preservation of this server/community that has survived previously under the same .com infrastructure and fortunately for a few years under our own purview. This is simply a new chapter in our story, and all we are doing is turning the page so that we can make the server the best it can be for as long as possible with the new resources and old/new members at our disposal. Relevant Merge Info: - Sunday, the 7th of October, at around 8:00 PM GMT is when the new server should be playable. We will post the IP when it becomes available, but connecting to the current server should re-route you when the time comes (need to confirm this). - The only major change will be a location change for the server. We will be trying a location in the U.K. for now. Between the options that we were given, we voted and it was the most beneficial for our current goals and overall playerbase/future playerbase. Our goal is to provide the best experience for as many people as possible throughout the globe. Our community is indeed mostly NA and so is the "culture", but we also have to recall the extremely large number of Europeans and also Asians in this equation. Please do not PANIC This is not permanent. Meaning that if for some reason things don't go well, we can always work things out in the future! We still are the primary English speaking server and that will never change. Of course, we will always rock our NA flair. - The discord will remain the same with slight modifications. Do feel free to join the main .com discord if you wish though. We do have a channel for us in there. - Our .com forum section can be found here. Some things are already there, and we will gradually transition. Feel free to use both forums for the time being. - Supporter/VIP prices are different than ours for the standard .com option, but we are going to try to negotiate a special package for ourselves. Maybe we can even see if we can change the price globally or for a few servers, e.g. CS:S + CS:GO ZE VIP package. This is not confirmed at the moment, but .com directors were willing to discuss it. If anyone has solid ideas for this, please do feel free to share! Remember that we will still have our exclusive sources for obtaining support/VIP perks and skins via events and ranks! We do have plans to re-balance and possibly expand upon them in the future. Ideas are also welcome in that regard. - Torchlight will remain on the server. - Demos will remain via upload to botox's server for now. - Our Source Bans will be separate from the main .com SB for now, but there are plans in the distant future to merge them. .com is also possibly planning a cleaning of their SB so stay tuned. Our separate SB for the new server will be found here - Juky will be an admin on the server. - Botox will be allowed to play on the server as a regular player. I don't want to make this post too long, so I only listed the most relevant things. More information will come out as the process actually finalizes, questions are asked, and we are able to share more. Thank you for your admirable patience and understanding. As always, if you have questions, feel free to ask here or contact a Head Admin! The original .ru announcement and discussion can be found here.
