Major Overhaul PREPARE YOUR SELF (server risks included) long list of items

AlphaBater — Sat, 24 Jan 2015 14:38:21 +0000

Ok lemme put out the bad news first and please read even with the bad nonsense cant take the heat for you saying you wasn't aware or get mad for something that is posted ahead of time..

the server will be going beyond exceeding the expectations to the game stability due in part its still in alpha with texture refining still not yet in place ( meaning if you or your items happen to fall with in the the world you bug the server to death *RIP SAVE FILES* ) soo just a heads up today 12 PM EST i will make a back up of that image i will ask every one to log out while i save and make changes to things that will come after...

so no promises that any one beyond 1 PM EST will be able to recover if we do corrupt the game files and or crash we will wipe the server clean and start from the save we last dropped from which will be the 12pm image * you have been informed*

*TECH STUFF*
Today 1/24 12:05pm EST as a celebration to one year in game we will be messing with config files that might affect your game play *but WILL NOT CHANGE OR ALTER* any of *YOUR GAME FILES* everything will be done server side and uploaded to your clients but will affect how the server runs meaning we will be altering original files intended for the game to run stable and make an overclock to make the game more enjoyable and fun which will then risk a corruption in data and or save files making a recovery impossible

we will be changing this periodically so do expect restarts and or downtime
this will insure we maintain our stability and balance so we dont crash lag or even worse

* we warn those that this will not be so new player friendly so group and or try to help out if you can we will alter to balance for new players*

\\\\\\\\\Update 11//////////

sad news that some of you are buzzing that question will our houses port or will the server wipe

A: server will wipe : logic reason : alpha bugs will port to ANY new update released

any bugs we suffer now will def join us in update 11
if we do not do a clean and full wipe of the server

i am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but its part of what we all signed up for when we got the game early access

//// not all is lost///
we will turn our alpha 10 into a small 12 player pvp server
there is an option in your steam files to revert back to alpha 10 and come back to play

most of you are prepared so when you return your items houses will be there
and you can pwn all you want just so long as you respect the guide lines of no bashing, player name calling *bulling*, or ANY racial, gender slurs are involved... you will be banned for this if any of the mods or admins are offended by your word of mouth or keyboard cowboy swag

* NOW THE GOOD NEWS*

today we announce a year in game congrats survivors you made it if not yet dead but to those who have reanimated a few times well its only going to get worse

*news*

seems the infection only got worse thru out the year zombies have doubled if not tripled there is still no sign of how this happen and or why orrr if there is even a cure (shit)

there have been reports of officials to have been sighted as zombies ( if you see a familiar face or political icon, or government official do not approach )
as attempts to take down such faces has been pure failure

dogs are seen ravaging farms and barnyards even burned lands
they smell anything farm afar and will attack on sight

fewer zombies have been seen in the winter biomes but do be warned the ones there now aint so peaceful they seem alot stronger if not bigger

seems day light seems to affect zombies in the desert if not forrest
but they do love the cold nights and will come in dozens to feed

zombies seems more powerful stronger but yet still dumb a.f so better ammo up and find shelter cause if not you will sure die out there

* you have been warned*

////// join our original lasting survivors/////

but our survivours dont know what about to plague them so far at day 27 things seem so peace...

some would ask what zombies i see no stinking zombies

while others panic and start building forts n spikes n barb wires with what nots...

othes take time and seek flowers and bunnies

while the horde just keep coming and coming

one day - (1) you will wake up in a bad dream having to be with nothing in your inventory with just a memory of where you were so just....

run and run till your feet start to bleed for your almost home day 30 will be home sweet home

good luck survivors....

*edit*

last min changes are taking a bit more then usual but we will let you know when its time so carry on till then

HAPPY NEW YEAR Survivors

Welp we are up and running no fuss no muss

so i set up a server for 7DtD due to headaches and heartbreaks
and well the time and wait has paid off and we up and better then any other

tho as the name claims this is a testing site so careful as we may implement things that are unlike other servers

we are here to voice what we want to see in game and how the server should be played

with that said due take the time to take advantage of the servers calm life before the zombie apocalypse happens

as always there is a map to our fun and that can be found by wispers thru the great vine altho some things arent added like player info (online-offline), inventory, land claims zoning, this was removed from regular based maps you see on other servers just to keep obscurity in our adventure

what was kept was region graphs so our techs know where to look if trouble hits and also the zoom and mini maps we all know how mobile devices can be useful when guiding your way so we kept it just for you guys so no plain old map just a useful one...

also what is added is things to fund the server in a better path and pave the way for final release features (hope you guys dont mind) so kick back have fun cause at day 30 is when i hear doomsday happens.. Good Luck Survivors MUHAHAHA

*Edits*

dont give your self a head ache trying to remember the servers ip
or think why did it fall of the list

in the address bar where the ip goes type

*not a website*

TestingGrounds.ddns. net

port stays the same

*this is not a website*
just an IP redirect address
and no matter what ip addy we on you will always get back in game with us
