Zombie server in eGO is finally here!!!!


It's so funny how we were playing ZombieMod the other night and I was thinking in my head "what if eGO had a zombiemod server." That would be amazing! Amazingly, it came up today. Hopefully it's going to be ZombieMod forever.

Not sure if this is the official IP, but here's the IP - 75.126.144.83

Happy Power, thanks bear.

Not gonna lie, I was honestly getting a bit tired and bored of eGO, and was considering quitting because it seemed like the same thing. But just because of this server, I am not quitting. lol

We should make it zombie escape..!

There are ZE maps on there, so it's sort of ZE/ZM mixed.
 
great job i guess. not really into the css zombie mod stuff, if i wanted to kill zombies i'd rather play L4D or something. everyone has his thing i guess.

Gz on getting it started though.
 
I love the fact that eGO finally has a zombie server (ze maps are turning into a big sucess). I play ze all the time and the newer maps are just amazing. One of the maps is called ze_lotr_minas_tirith_v1. This map has 4 different lvls on normal and 4 on extreme(only got to extreme twice). It looks better than any valve/custom map, and there will be a contest comming soon. Other great maps include mako reactor, predator, hypernova, and all of the other lotr maps. These maps were all made by the same group and they made zombie escape maps very popular. The first step of getting the server is now finished. Now, with the addition of newer and some older classic maps i believe it will be a huge success.
 
For everyone wanting new maps, suggesting maps, etc. realize that Zombie Escape has just been put up and we will not be adding maps anytime soon. We want to work out all the kinks and knots so its a fun experience for all.

Again, the server was just put up, no new maps, mods, skins, sounds, textures, etc will be added anytime soon. We also want to keep it full for a long time so its worth adding more rather than adding everything now and finding out it cant keep its self full.

Finally, there will never be maps above 50mb (51200kb) uncompressed added to the server, we want people to quickly download any Zombie Reloaded files and the map so they can join in on the fun quickly rather than waiting 15+ minutes and finally clicking cancel because it took too long.
 
Its good to finally see some new servers in the CS:S division. Thanks Leadership for considering this idea to bring them back.
 
SWEET! I'm totally going to put in so much time to make this a success.

I agree with They Call Me C, you should switch the name to Zombie Escape. EDIT (Wtf was I writing)
They should keep it Zombie Escape only though because it will be more successful. I put a long drop box highlighting why ZE will be successful but basically:

1) Dedicated Admins (Pubs looking for grief free servers)
2) Most of our members support or greatly prefer Zombie Escpae

I completely understand your reasoning behind this decision however I do wish to bring up a point in the interest of improving the server. If you look at the top servers run today ALL of them will have maps over 50 megs. Unfortunately if like you said that the vast majority of people will not wait then these servers should not be popular at all.

I remember hearing that you will wait a month before even considering adding new maps over 50 megs. However even with our great eGO population this may be a difficult feat. I do request we look into adding popular maps such as ze_FFVII_Mako in the future (When all the bugs are hammered out) instead of putting our foot down and saying it will never happen.

There are three downfalls to popular ZE servers. Too few maps, Too many of the same map, and poor admining.

I truly believe that if we want a popular server that we need to have new maps coming in and out all the time. One great thing about our server is the long rotation times between playing the same map again. One of the biggest complaints is that the same maps get played over and over again. Props.

No preference does not mean don't care. I can't remember a year ago and the conversation we had over it, sorry.

Actually if you look at previous threads concerning ZE a lot of members said they would come back and play. I think it still holds valid today that if we conduct another poll that ZE would be more popular by far.
