Shoot-Em discontinues

Postby predator on 24 Jun 2009, 13:38

hi guys,

for various reasons i have decided to stop the shoot-em project.
major point is that i'm no longer willing to pay the bills or to manage
the payments for the gameservers. also the sum the community spents
to get admin rights is not enough to pay the full bill of 101€ each month.

for that reason the server shuts down within the next 3 weeks, also
i'll stop to give support (i.e. unban support) from today.

last but not least i'd like to say thanks to all members for your support
and the great time we had over the last ~1,5 years.

best regards
predator

can only say thank you for this great time Predator and co.
I find it very sad that the servers go down especially because I played every day, actively, but what was then the whole effort yesterday with the server testing?

and why become i 2 virus messages when I connect to the server? Shortly before the servers go down all the computers are infected? :D

omg its so sadly ._.

The better sververs Iv'e ever played since 2000 to 2003 and 2007-2009 (I didn't play between 2003-2007)...

Fall of Zombiez was the 1st word to spread...
...

I'm very upsat because I've got a game decease :)). Shoot-em really made me play every evening after work instead of other duties... I think world finance crisis played a great role in your decision Predaror, and I hope it was hard for you to manage closing :). I couldn't find any money this year to help you - i'm penniless - Russia stuck in crisis too... :))

Soooo... I've got a lot of fun playing here especially with top-20-DEATHMATCH-guys and with zombiez-players. Cheaters who got me me down 300 points last 5 days sux and mustdie.
And this isn't the 1st server closed this year so u're not alone Predator:)))).

Mail us if you have any ideas to reanimate your project. We really appreciate your effort. Life continues.


Best,

Stas Hoffmann.

Yeah its very sad. It was the server that made me start play cs again its like a different game. But the server were so popular so why cant u find a sponsor or something for it ? There must be something we can do. I mean just shut down such a popular server as it was is not pretty weird. So pred or someone in germany cant u guys check for a sponsor? Greetings from Hampe :) Have a nice day all. I wont even be able to play the last 3 weeks since predator has decided not to unban anyone, just because i told an admin to stop abuse the admins right. hehe but thats life i guess :)

These are great servers, and I'm very sorry for what will be turned off, and most players. Excellent and a great game I had on these servers, and servers are the only weird in that I played. Administrators were ok, like most players, once again to emphasize that I was very sorry for quenching. I hope that in the future this project will continue to work, and in the meantime would be able to find some sponsors for the servers. So that all players who have the possibility of advertising, would be able to help about this project.

Thanks Predator for this servers.
Best regards

well, we had a similar issue in the past and tried a couple of things without luck.
so the chance to find a sponsor is really low. don't count on it. also i'm not willing
to manage or pay the bills for the server anymore.

it's a little bid sad that the costs of the server would reduce to 40€ (instead of 101€ now)
after 7 more months which is less enough to pay the monthly rates with selling admin rights.

anyways its a long time and would require about 700€.

If you stay only 2 servers, whether they be with the current payments for admin rights have enough money to maintain the server? I agree that sponsorship is not the best solution, but would say to the server could be more precise about the relation to the existing, for example, to write the price admin right or something.
