Migration Complete + Surprise IP Change

The migration is complete and GFL ZE is now independent, but we also had to change our IP address.

While the main website is still somewhat work in progress, we’re now considering the migration complete, as we’re now fully independent from GFL.

IP Change

However, while we were in the process of moving things over, our host informed us that the IP address we wanted to transfer (216.52.148.47) was part of an IP block that they do not have full ownership of. Because of this, they have not been issuing IP’s on it for a long time, and are now planning to drop it in the near future.

This means that regardless of the whole independent GFL ZE thing happening, we were going to be forced to change our IP anyways. So we’ve taken the opportunity to do it right away, as the longer of a migration period we have to smooth out the transition, the better. The old IP will be used to redirect players to the new IP for as long as possible.

So without further ado, the new server IP is now 74.91.124.21:27015. Your favourites should update automatically (though some have reported it didn’t for them), but if you have any connect aliases or anything, you should update them.

Donation News

The new donation site with subscriptions & alternate payment methods is now live here.

At the time of this announcement, we came to the decision that we would be raising the prices of Supporter to $5.99/month, and VIP to $9.99/month. However, we reverted these changes on February 25th 2025, bringing Supporter back to $4.99/month, and VIP to $7.99/month, as we determined the increases were not actually necessary. Existing subscribers may need to cancel and re-subscribe to get the reduced price.
