Greetings everyone, I've closed the forums to new registrations and terminated all registrations since the server was most recently active. The forum continues to run, you can still log in with existing credentials and post/pm; but is mostly kept online as an archive. Some of our previous players have set up a new forum and game server here: Server address: http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/68.232.165.172:7777/ Forum: http://www.gametracker.com/clan/D-E-K/ Dru

It should be all up in github now.

9/3/2014 Web services restored

TheDruidXpawX — GMT

Hello friends, It looks as though the AWS server running the forums and website had crashed. The free tier expired last month anyway, so it was time to move it. I've restored the service elsewhere. The website and forums should be fully functional again. TheDruidXpawX

The sites back up?
Temporarily.

There's something wrong with my instance in aws where the site keeps crashing, but I'm planning on keeping the site up. I just have to figure it out.

Hello friends, The UT2004 services running on disastrousconsequences.com are going offline, but the website and forums will remain.

The website should be up and functional at this point. I think that email notifications probably dont work yet. Let me know if you notice anything amiss.

Can anyone else get those files?

I would certainly consider sharing these files with other long term supporters, who had provided multiple consecutive donations, and who was intending to set up a server in the DC name access to these files.

It looks at the moment like DemonSlayer is going to take up the mantle of running the actual UT services, and we'll keep the website running on our hardware, just from our house. I don't know for sure that Demon will be able to get the server running by friday when we shut down ut services here. He's got a lot of details to work out. In short, I've provided him the unreal config files, maps, mods, and rpg data to begin his migration. It's about 4.2gb compressed.

Greetings players. Last night, I migrated the last service that our server in this colocation facility was serving for Shantara and I to Amazon web services. As neither of us has played in the last 2ish years, we believe it is time for us to bring this server home, and shut down services in the colocation facility. As you may or may not know, it is dreadfully impossible to run UT2004 using a hostname, and with a server on a natted connection. We will continue to keep the website up, and run the web site out of our home as we did in the early days of DC, back in 2003. I've briefly discussed with one of our admins the idea of purchasing the community. If someone had a strong interest in purchasing the hardware, domain name, community, Google apps domain, and taking over the colocation contract ($80/mo), that is something we could consider. If you have more than a passing interest, please email unrealserver@magicalspirits.net For your consideration, DC was spun up around this same time in 2003. In Aug 2004, we purchased the first server (~$1500), and colocated it with a different company at $120/mo ($2880 over 2 years). About In August 2006, we purchased a new server (~$3800), and colocated it with Xmission for $80/mo ( $6800 over 7 years) so about $15k over the past 10 years spent on DC. We've gotten some donations over that time that have offset a some of the cost, and we both appreciate that. Irrespective of the ut services being shut down on Friday, I fully expect to have the website back online over the course of the weekend. We appreciate your support over the years, and hope that the forum will continue to be a valuable resource into the future.

Just a thought, if there is a strong beliefe that the major of the crash bugs are associated with the NALI, remove them to see of the crashes continue or go away. From there try and find where the bug is. At lease it's a start so we can get thru the map, even if nobody can get Headhunter.....

RPGNali are gone.

I couldn't be sure whom's stats were corrupted so the stats were reverted to 1AM. Sorry if you lost a few levels on account of this. Clint

Re:KILLING YOUR HIGH LEVEL CHARACTER TO BUILD UP YOUR LOW LEVEL CHARACTER

TheDruidXpawX — GMT

Really? Like really? If I find that I have to waste the time to dig through the logs to find out who these players are, you can count on some cd keys being banned and some IP ranges loosing access. Seriously, whomever you are, don't waste my time with this type of activity.
