Server has been upgraded to Athlon XP 2100+ and PC2100 DDR. This should make for a huge improvement especially on laggy maps like torn. The server upgrades aren't finished yet, but this will do for the time being. Special thanks to all those who have donated and especially to Jaime and Notang. See you guys on the less laggy CS server "[LDS]The Outer Darkness"

I hope that Luck doesn't mind me jumping in here, but it's pretty simple to get fixed. Just go the Community site and you'll be playing in no time.

Here's some more baby pics if you care to see :) For now they are in bmp format but I will convert them to jpgs to improve download times.

We weren't really sure what to expect from this clan b/c their first win was a forfeit and the other win was like 22-2. As we got in there and won our first 5 straight rounds we new we had them. The first half score was 7-5 LDS. The second half we were t's and boy did we love how we played we went 9-3, winning the first 9 consecutive rounds!! Well GG to all the lds players that night and to team iXi. Now lds is 1-3 in cal-o, don't worry we are makin our comeback!

I have setup a donation fund for those of you interested in helping me upgrade the server. I built the server nearly 2 years ago and as such, it is now lacking hardware-wise compared to present day standards. It is definitely time for an upgrade, however, the cost is quite hefty. To achieve the performance and specifications that I would like, the approximate cost of all the new hardware combined will be about $1000.00, most of which will come out of my pocket. Any donation, whether it is $5 or $50 is greatly appreciated and you can rest assured that it will ONLY be used for the server upgrade. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at luckmaster@cgacurrency.com. If you wish to donate, simply click on the paypal donate button to the left or click here. Thank you.

New Server Hardware to be purchased:
Tyan Thunder K7 S2460 Dual-Athlon Motherboard = $160
2 x AMD AthlonMP (Not XP) 2000+ CPU's = $340
2 x 256MB MICRON PC2100 ECC Registered Memory = $150
15000RPM IBM 3.4ms SCSI 160 HD = $100
Adaptec UW160 29160 SCSI Controller & quality SCSI3 cable = $204
Intel 10/100S NIC
Antec SX840 Full Tower-Case w/Power Supply = $80
Operating System will be FreeBSD, an advanced unix derivative.
Those who donate will have their names/aliases published in the message of the day on the new server (the welcome message) and on the website. Admin privileges will also be considered.

Remember to get them in by Jan 12. After that we will be voting on them and ultimately the clan will vote on the logos with the most votes.

A Battlefield 1942 server has been setup at 66.219.199.67. The server name is "Utah Dual DS3@Aros.net [LDS]".

For those of you who haven't played it, I would describe it as an arcade style counter-strike with QUALITY vehicles a la WWII. Airplanes, battleships, aircraft carriers, jeeps, tanks, army trucks, submarines, and many more. Of course you can also trudge around on foot. All of these vehicles and infantry fight together, competing for field position, kills, etc. Even a bazooka is available for ground troops. :D

Anyway, the server bandwidth is provided by Aros.net and the hardware is provided by cgacurrency.com. Visit www.battlefield1942.com for more information on the game.
