for real tho, i really wish those servers worked out. Our zombie server, and especially our zombie escape that we experimented with were a lot of fun when people were on. it was just so tough to fill it back then. a lot of the servers we had going on were just staples (D2, office, italy, jail) but we never we really able to branch away from it for ZM, surf, mg, warcraft, etc., and it really bummed me out. At least the events brought forth a lot of variation and fun, especially since we had them almost 5 days a week. but even when jail was at its peak, it was still nice to play other gamemodes. aaand now im sad reminiscing.

Ah back in the good old days of CS when we had multiple servers and lots of events. It would be fun to have a throwback night of source events. And yes casino cash was a ton of fun.

We had three ZM servers that worked out really well until some weird issue. Third server was due to Valve blocking redirecting. So a year or two later a bunch of people wanted another ZM server and after a few weeks of deliberation we got our fourth and final ZM server and it struggled despite a few people and my efforts and reconfigurations including ZM or ZM/ZE or just ZE but to no avail.

Surprisingly during the few months of having it, not one person of about 30 or so that heavily wanted it, ever helped try to keep it alive when calls went out for help or even to join during events. Surprisingly a few of those that never helped but wanted it also complained when it was gone.

That’s pretty much why there’s that ‘you have to keep the servers we have full’ reason when people ask for servers.

ZM server iteration three was so fun and awesome and had we not had to switch boxes and get new IP for it along with Valve blocking redirects, I’m pretty sure that server would have lasted a good two or three years longer.

my only issue during those zm days were constant rule changes and fixes on ideas, new plugins, etc. there was a good year period of no changes, just zm with the prop plugin and a good balance of maps that was just amazing and fun.

Well three was pretty much never changed but four had to be to try to get people on and even asking for suggestions was ignored so myself and like one or two others tried multiple things for the server but to no avail.

My flop of a post sparked some good conversation. I'm not mad.

Not too many still around who can say they played on the zm servers or many of the other css servers.

The phrase "they always come back" that we used to say all those years ago still holds true. DanJK
