Well, seems like tomorrow and 13th December wins for the reunion (equally). Since the people are not consistent, I will be playing on both of those days and on the 20th December as well, and who has time, join in for some fun.

deer god!

meem!

miss u wobre peeps <3

19.12 and 20.12 were added as options.

The poll is now up in the discord server but for those not there, options are 29.11, 6.12, or 13.12.

I will also mention it here for people that are not in the discord server but still interested. The plan has changed for a casual meet up at an empty or low pop casual server. In the next few days, I will make a poll to see who can join when and the date with most participants will be the meet up. I will then publish the date here as well.

I was hyped for the idea at first, but putting in that much effort for a 1-2 day revival isn’t worth it. I figured work would chill out after summer, but nope, I’m already booked with projects until the end of next year. And starting December I have to additional take over as technical team lead for five months. I’m tired just thinking about it. So in my free time I’m trying to relax and chill at a game every once in a while and not fight script issues.

Anyway, so my idea is dead, but it wasn’t even PonPon’s (Marigold’s) original idea. So if he’s still down to organize something on someone else’s TF2 server, this year or next, I’m in!

Hello there, sorry for going radio silent for a while. I spent a whole weekend trying to resurrect the old WOBRE #1 server, but it was bad. After Valve dropped the 64-bit update last year (which basically nuked every extension we used) AND dealing with all the new Sourcemod compiler changes, I honestly can say… yeah, nah. It will take me like 2-3 weeks just to get most crucial plugins working for #1. Every time I fixed one compiler error, five new ones come out like ♥♥♥♥ a doodle doo. At one point I had 70+ errors thrown at me. Absolute chaos.

@Marigold set it the way it never expires

I made a temporary discord server for the possible get together before ED-E offered to revive one of the original servers, moving discussion here. If you guys are still interested in the DC server, I can post the link again.

There was like 2 or 3 attempt to revive the server as far as i remember, all of them ended up like that. People just move on, it happens

That discord server was indeed administrated by (former) Spoiper. Most / part of the staff from Wobre were "transferred" / joined willingly into that server and even ED-E approved and contributed to the idea of this server as far as I remember
The announcement was given in this discussion , but it was indeed shut down after a couple of months or so due to the lack of playerbase after the first month / weeks, and if I remember correctly, it got closed also because of the drama created within the server.

Damn I missed out on a lot lmao

there used to be a discord server, i forgot who the owner was, i think spoiper or smt, i wanna say ED-E but im pretty sure it wasnt them, but it got abandoned or deleted some time ago, i just tried looking through my discord but i couldnt find it, likely unfriended me over the years or had a name change so that i dont recognize them.

Thanks for the info Acar! Completely missed all of this

Would love to participate whenever it happens!

Forgot to add as well that this idea came from Marigold (gotta give credit where it's due)

Hey Jaw
For the discord server, I don't know about it, althought there was an announcement relatively long ago about a discord server with plans for the 1/2-day/s wobre revival, but the link to it expired.
As for the "another server" part, ED-E said that there's a chance that this year there will be either a day or two (depending most likely on how many people actually show up) W1 - Sop that tank server and potentially W3 - Freak Fortress, but this only applies if Appel or M7 want to collab again for this event.

Long story short is pretty much explained here. The first "deadline" for the event was either end of June / July, but it got postponed to end of the year due to ED's lack of time to check up throughly on the stability of the server, and because most of the plugins from the 2017-2020 era is rather outdated and doesn't work anymore.

Is there a Wobre discord server or something?

Hold on I need to read up on stuff, there is (maybe) going to be another server?

Ahhhh good times

What are you talking about? We would be a blessing upon any server that would be graced by our presence...(not)

"another community server" Oh god save those people from us

Hey thanks for your kind words Marigold! We'll see, in worst case we come together on another community server and if its just a small amount of people i throw some free rounds in MvM.

I really look so forward for the official community MvM update, it always bugged me that Valve stopped extending it over 10 years ago, despite the community made some stellar maps. If they throw in some more Australiums and cosmetics, Ill check it out for sure.

heeey marigold i remember that naame nice to see you

Thank you ED-E, I loved playing on Wobre server back in the day and made a lot of friends there. Thank you for your hard work trying to put it back together for another round of nostalgia.

So you didnt just write a bunch of insults from the 17th century?

yup that was happened

aaaahhh alright, thanks for clarification aca.

they're talking about when someone posts a recent comment, the censor itself being a "this meesage is currently being verified ...", after a while, 5-15 mins, the censor dissapears and it looks like a normal comment

Neither here nor when viewing it at my work (not logged into steam) there seems nothing censored. I can read Ciesers text just fine.

I was gonna ask wtf did you even write Cies xddd

You were censored too

oh dear ed has been censored

Hi, thats the plan hopefully with one of the WOBRE server up. But don't expect anything before November/December, as the summer was annoyingly busy and exhausting for me. So I was mostly in a dulling relax mode in my free time. But that should soon be better.

But I assembled some hardware from the dismantled parts of old servers. The good news is the harddrives, os and database seem to work. The bad news, for now is, during the past 5 years Valve switched the server software to 64 bit. This broke a lot of stuff from the modding framework i used to work with.So in the coming weeks i hopefully can spend some time to give it a proper look if its salvage or too much effort for a day or two reunion.

I read there will be a reunion of the Wobre in a server, will be awesome to return like the old time and maybe recover some of the time i lost for the fault of the old drama, but finally i got over it and i can recover maybe those moments i never get it back.

Me too, only have found memories from playing on this server back in the day

had a lot of fun playing slender fortress back in the day

If you want a discord to hang out in here's one

Just in case your looking for one.

Hey guys, really glad to hear that some of you are doing fine and I love the idea of Wobre players reuiniting again :) Being that most of us were little kids back then and a whole decade has passed. Best of luck and I hope we see each other soon

perfectly expressing the unexpectancy and the surprise of the 1-day wobre revival news

The swastikas assaulting my eyes wasnt something i was expecting

w9 deathrun revival be like

All in all, i'm up for any event, wether it's wobre / non-wobre server

Oh, yeah. Its all coming together.

id love to make a flash return to ol wobre

@Vid23 @Error
Yeah I will not invest time to get some minor third party plugins, like Tetris, to get working for W3, or server jumping. But I still would want the core experience of WOBRE be back, even if its just for one last nostalgic day or two (would like to make some video recordings).

I should know by mid next month if its feasable or if it's better to just raid an empty but good community server. Even if we are just a very small and exclusive gang than I sponser some MvM rounds. We could do a little game where the player with the worst loot gets something valueable at the end. Like https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/groups/MvM_Looser_Pot

@PonPon
Sounds good to me, as mentioned above, mid next months I should know what options we have and we can decide together how we want to celebrate. c:

I agree with vid on that most cosmetic stuff could be overlooked to simplify the process.

But in all seriousness I would be fine with just invading a random server or just hosting a very basic one at that for a reunion where the main reason is to play a bit together.
I would hate to see a lot of time and effort being put into reviving W1 with most plugins intact just for a handful of people to show up.
Don't get me wrong I would like it but if the demand isn't there I would say let's keep it simple and realistic.

As for W3...I just wanted to make a shutdown W3 reference

Either way, I'll be looking forward to this reunion idea!

We can definitely push it to later date, end of June was just a initial idea. If we get to make the reunion more meaningful by making the time available for more people or the chance of server recreation, it can be be pushed to August or September if needed.

Cant you just not do like half the plugins or they all need eachother to function? Im sure people could live without things like chat sounds/login music and some of the other cosmetic stuff

Part 2:
I definitely would need more time to build, update, fix, recompile and test these things to make them work again. While I initially dismissed the idea I'm now open about it, but then instead of end of June, I would suggest end of July. If it works out, I would bring back W1 (Casual) and maybe W3 (Freak Fortress) but only if the at least one of the former admins (like M7 or Appelflap) are willing to come back and help me with these.
