Staff resignations
 
Hawk, whom was providing a server for the community, is leaving for personal reasons. With him, the server will be going too. However, he is letting us continue using his server until the end of August.
 
Server migration
We will be performing a server migration this week onto two brand-new Limestone Networks servers. One server will be running Windows Server 2012 R2, while the other server will host two virtual machines - both Linux - for the website, Linux-based game servers, and our Subversion (SVN) repositories for our Development team.
 
Our current server with OVH will be cancelled this month. 
 
The new servers will incur an increased server bill each month, but with that, we get awesome support and upgradeable servers.

Advertising Icons
I've created some blue icons for use on IndieDB mostly to advertise the game a bit.
The original logo was designed by Kenz3001 for this matter, i only shaded it blue-ish and added some text and the background from CNC3
THis will be used from now on when i post updates:

This will be used when the game is finally done:

This is just an ongoing update as to the lag complaints we've received over the last few months. We apologize for not showing the public this process. We've tried to keep the Administrators here apprised of our progress.
 
We have been working with OVH to isolate network issues that could be causing our players to lag. Right now, the belief is that OVH's points of presences are congested within the US causing some users/players to experience lag during certain times of the day.
 
We have been working with OVH support to bring it to their attention, but have only received a small handful of traceroutes that we have requested. We have received more than what was posted to the aforementioned topic, and one in particular has given OVH proof that there is network congestion - at least within Canada (Toronto area).
 
Quoting some excerpts from our tickets (OVH's replies):
 
 
and
 
 
This, combined with the server maintenance we just announced, should at least partially resolve the lag complaints. Time will tell.

Teleporting is now possible on the Co-Op server.
You can type: !go , !goto or !tele <playername> to teleport to said player.
This will only work when both of you are alive.
It will not teleport you when you are on a ladder.

Visit the forums here and participate with us in discussions for this game.
For newcomers: RA: APB is a standalone game developed by Bluehell Productions. It is running on the Renegade W3D Engine.
MPF hosts a server for this with both AOW and Co-op maps in rotation.
Want to try out RA: APB?: Download Launcher and install the game
Thanks.

meh. But I did not dream that one day I could reach this position every since it all started in MP-Gaming as a regular player. I have to thank Oxi because without him who pull me into the moderators I won't be here today.
 
Also not to forget the buddies here that is kind enough of giving me this position but of course more work for me than because of promotion.
 
Last but not least, I will continue to support and develop projects for MPF as long i am still breathing.

Everyone join me in welcoming ImperialKaskins as our newest member of #Staff.
 
He has been a valued member of the MPF community with many contributions.
 

Both people have claimed their prizes. Enjoy guys and thanks again.
