The server has been set up and is pretty much already underway in hosting our fun game times. It is a little bit slow, admittedly - mostly Wally and I have been making use of the server so far along with a handful of ranomd strangers that have happened upon it. We are currently running four things on the server in dedicated mode (technically that would make them NOT dedicated but, shhh, don't tell anyone that!). The first is a major one for us: TeamSpeak. Having an easy, non-intrusive way to communicate with our voices makes a lot of games much easier to play in multiplayer sessions. Having to stop and type, "Help me! I am south of the big green building!" is not exactly ideal while you are being chased by a horde of zombies. That's just one of the benefits of TeamSpeak - we can also have players join different "channels" for team-based games among other awesome things. Of course, we also have our Minecraft server going. This one still needs to be further stressed tested but so far it is decent enough for casual play. If it turns out that the server cannot handle our Minecraft sessions when we have a full load of players on, we may have to go back to running it from a more powerful laptop during peak hours. Those two are kind of expected things to be running on the server, what we also have going is Hockey? and A New Zero - two games by Cryptic Sea that we are excited to be hosting. These are games that have very small communities so we are really happy to be able to provide an outlet for those people to play the game. Hopefully these will see more use over the coming months. Our server can be accessed by opening up the appropriate games and looking for the "G46" brand. Our TeamSpeak will remain private for now and Minecraft still needs to be tested so we will let you know when those will become more readily available for joining (not that we are expecting people to join a random server, heh).
