The "ah!  no ferrets?" Generations server is temporarily offline.  Fourier is in search of a new host.  In the mean time, Phoenix's Generations Server is still available for use for all your fragging needs.

Reminder:  Scheduled games are as follows:
9 PM CET on the Generations Euro Server
9 PM Eastern currently on Phoenix's Generations Server

Happy fragging! 

The "ah!  no ferrets?" Generations server has moved to a new home.  The new ip address is 115.124.100.62:27960.  I've updated the server list to reflect the new address.  It's hosted out of Chicago courtesy of Fourier.  This will be our new haunt for US games, so drop in and get some Gen action going!

When:  Saturday, August 9th
Time:  9-10 PM Eastern
Where:   208.43.82.152:27960
 
Game will run however long people want to play.  I will try to make it there myself.  The more the merrier!

Fourier has set up a brand new Generations .99f server.  I've added it to the servers page.  I gave the server a test run earlier today, and it's very smooth.  I ping about 40 to it and it felt like playing on a LAN connection.  Since my own connection is limited and I'm also running the test server, I would recommend using Fourier's server for US gameplay as opposed to my server.  I'll keep mine running if anyone's feeling masochistic.

I'm hoping we can get a nice game together Saturday.  There's a few bots on the server to keep you company in the mean time.  Server address is 208.43.82.152:27960 so what are you waiting for?  Go play! 

Did you know that I have a Generations server?  It's been up for a long while, visible on ASE and from within the browser in Generations, but since Tabun got the server browser fixed my own Generations server is now listed on the servers page as well.  There should always be a few bots to keep you company until more fleshy opponents are available.  Since the Central server is down for an indeterminate period of time following the website move, this will be our official US server for the time being.

No April Fools gag this year.  I'm not creatively inclined for pulling any kind of pranks at the moment.

Just a quick heads-up for those of you who've been disappointed at our Generations Server Browser not showing any servers: there was a problem, and it has been fixed!

Although the US Central server still isn't back up yet, the Euro server is and now it shows on our Generations servers page.

Now you won't have to worry about sitting on a server and nobody noticing. Carry on.

Generations Arena now has five new and unique grappling hook weapons, one for each Generation!  These are intended primarily for Capture the Flag play.  Each grapple is unique, and has its own advantages and disadvantages to suit the generation its intended for.  These will be available for use in the next public release of the mod.  Here's a preview of the models.  Click the thumbnails for a more detailed view and description.  Be sure to vote for your favorites!
