WPZM News Thread

[Cmndr0]

Ok Boys and Girls (yes, we know you're listening, don't think we haven't heard your cries for female zombies here at WPZM) this is the news thread, if it's important to the server one of the admins will post it here.

We're currently putting together some server rules, expect to see them soon and remember, if we catch you breaking them there will be consequences.

Anyway, here is the news *BONG!*

Wireplay resident and well known supermod ssmmdd has agreed to become an Admin for the Zm servers, expect to see him around the servers soon and believe me, he's just as patient as I am... and just as forgiving.
*BONG!*
Oh and I may have at some point agreed to be Cl for WPZM... This should be... interesting.


That's all for now, fly safe peeps!

[ssmmdd]

Fly safe? I never knew Zombies could fly.

Hello all!

[Cmndr0]

Ok update for you

Server 04 went online a little while ago now running 24/7 Bluevelvet! Join in anytime for some trainstation massacre

We are now once again looking for admins HOWEVER you must be able to fill certain criteria in order to be accepted among the most important of these is maturity and respect for other gamers, for more details contact ssmmdd or go tou our irc channel #wpzm on quakenet

I'll be on holiday for the next 2 weeks so any and all questions suggestions and complaints must got to ssmmdd for the next little while, he is now Acting CL and the official DCL of the wpzm community.
On top of my holiday my laptop which i use for zm has gone kaput meaning i may not be ingame for a looooong time but rest assured i will do my best to look after this community.

That's all for now folks, see you in 2 weeks, have a zombirific time!

Does that mean that im "Acting" Head Admin ?

NEWS!
I'm not good at complex (nor gramatically correct) writing stuff so here's the news in short format

ssmmdd is now fully fledged DCL of Wireplay Zm. We wish him all the luck in the world, may god have mercy on your soul, ssmmdd.

Server 04 went live several weeks ago as a test of what would happen if we tried to run a 24/7 Bluevelvet server, so far it's not been so much of a success as 03 but we are seeing more than on 02

We also welcome our newest active admin to the team, you'll see him ingame as "Pestilence" and as 1of4 on these forums. He has the the same authority on the wpzm servers as any other member of the admin team, cross him at your peril...

That's all for now folks, as always we're still looking out for 1.2.0, as soon as it's out you'll know.

Map test finished!

As some of you may have noticed for the last two weeks wireplay has been running a fifth, yes FIFTH, server for exclusive map testing, we were testing the latest version of the map zm_blockade_biv created by PzK which is an excellent map for players the like putting hot lead into rotting zombies and one that i really enjoyed testing.
The map will soon be available for download here and will be on server 5 24/7 for the next week before being moved to servers 01 and 02.

If you have a map you would like thorougly tested and debugged then send me a pm and we'll get you started

Upgrades

Due to the staggeringly high number of visitors to server 03 (24/7 Redqueen) the upgrades player data file has grown so large that the server is having trouble keeping up, everytime a player joins there is a small lag spike caused by the server checking the upgrades file for that players data and then updating everyone else, this has happened once before and the solution is quite simple... We're going to reset upgrades.

Upgrades will be reset on server 03 just before midnight on saturday so that there is as little disruption as possible, once it's done there will be a noticeable drop in server lag.

This is more of a challenge to all our level 10 regulars, can you get back up to the top before the others?

New thing!

I'll also take this as an oppertunity to announce something new, on saturday night we will have a little competition on Server 01 to decide group player of the week, it's pretty simple really, players must be on the server between 9pm and 10pm, the highest scoring player at 10pm whether zm or survivor will be the winner "what do they win?" I hear you say, They win 30 upgrade points to spend on server 01 as they like and they become wpzm group player of the week.

That's all for now, see you saturday!
