Wishing you a Stroggy Christmas and a Fraggin' good New Year from the Wirehead team.  Hope you unwrapped some awesome stuff that makes you as happy as this guy!

Self-explanatory.

Several people have been reporting a "-1 servers" in the in-game browser.  This isn't a Generations bug.  This is due to Id's master server being offline or otherwise unreachable.  Normal Quake 3 Arena is affected by this as well.  It is still possible to locate servers for Quake 3 Arena by using a third-party program such as Qtracker or Xfire.  This affects regular Quake 3 Arena and all mods.  It is unknown when or whether the Quake 3 master server will come back online at all.  We'll let you know more as we find out about it.

Wirehead's Generations server is also temporarily offline, but this is only for maintenance.  It will be back up shortly and the address will be available through our Servers page on the website.

If anyone has been having trouble registering on the site, we had a glitch in one of our anti-bot utilities.  It has been corrected, so please try to register again.

We had more problems going on than I thought.  The server browser was broken, which explains why no servers at all were showing up.  This has been fixed, so servers are visible again.  Phoenix's Generations Server (that's me) is up in the US, and we're hoping to possibly have a new European server online soon.  If you have a server and you'd like it listed on our servers page, please let us know and we'll add it to the list!

It seems that after we had to repair some issues with the website we've had an old version of our downloads page in place.  This had some dead links to files and a few files missing.  This has been corrected so all files for Generations v.99f, including Tabun's model pack and the v.99f server patch are in place and available again.

I thought of writing this in a clever song form, but I'm not verbally inspired right now so let me just say that to those who have been wondering, and I've seen some of the comments on Youtube, we're still very much alive.  Generations Arena is NOT dead, we're just in a phase of development where there's not much visually we can show off.  It's grunt work and it's time consuming.  So please, forgive the lack of news updates, but don't lose heart.  Just have a slice of delicious cake and we'll keep making neat guns. 

It's that time of year again, when we all know it's better to gib than to receive... especially if there's a BFG involved.  Merry Christmas from everyone at Wirehead!
