    GZ24 NextGen servers will be terminated

    Due to many reasons (lack of interest, not enough players, technical difficulties) I have decided not to renew the NextGen servers. I have enough donations to cover one last month after the current one: by this fact the servers will be closed at the 1st October.

    decision iz not negotiable.

    I'd like to thank all the work that's been put by Karel, Zeo and Maxou to this project, and of course all the donators who made it possible for those 3 months. Payments details and money repartition can be checked in the sticky thread.

    edit: donators can claim what remains of their money back if they do not wish to pay for the last month!

    Didnt imagine servers would last that short time,btw i agree they are useless if there are nonmore than 10 players active atm...i was hoping that winter would be different talking about affluence..but thats your decision even if i'm not wrong if i state that this could mean sam death.

    That's a very bad step, and this thread is a pure shame. Let Ostap win, good job Meta

    P.S.: My servers will not be closed during this and next year. Amount of players is the last thing I care of, even if there are two players per a month who would like to play a duel, I'd keep hosting for them!

    There are not enough players who are informed about a new master server (yet)
    I'm gonna work on it

    Almost no one,but we must be honest,since servers were created many things happened,better yet since ostap started going crazy many things happened.Now Zeo was joking about it,but how many players did joined in the last 3 months? Nonmore than 10 different people joined,and most of the times we were like 2 or 3 playing "frequently", i guess most of the players didnt feel like joke around with ips,settings etc.,simply play the game suddenly began complicated.
    On the top of it,who's right or who's wrong doesnt really matters,this situation definetly killed sam for me (ofc i hope i'm dead wrong).I'm not saying maxou shouldnt shut down his servers,because the only fact that server existed is a good thing and i appreciate it as a Serious Sam player.

    I've seen that coming when we had to change the master server ip like... every week? It's sad to watch, but it was inevitable

    the problem is not the management, it's the community. it's useless to spend money if the servers are going to remain empty 99% of the year, i'm not like Ostap.

    In order to prevent money wasting, I preferred to stop this useless project.

    Sometimes people invest in things that would pay off only 15-20 years later...
    Couldn't we just continue to do it? ;P You weren't the only one who has paid for the servers.

    I was not the only one, that's precisely why I decided to stop the servers, I refuse to waste more of other people's money for servers that we're going to use for 2 or 3 events in the year, and will stay empty 10 months out of 12. Why paying for servers while we got free alternatives? Plus the game will remain dead as long as there will be no official masterserver. Since none update is going to see the daylight... it's not worth all the energy spent so far.
    You believe to pay for visible servers but the game has been so much fucked up that none besides GZ actually know about these.
