FW Report, OpenBox Vs BorgTeam: 1-2

Day: 20 May 2012
Time: 19:00 GMT+1, or CET
Place: Borg PRO game server

OpenBox team and BorgTeam had a funny FW made of 3 maps, 20 minutes each, and no score limit.
Both teams were nice and hard, but, as you will easily see, each team was best at his own conf.

Sooo… here are the screenshots.

FIRST MAP: Q3DM17. CONF: MegaRail (OpenBox choosed both map and conf)

SECOND MAP: Q3CTF4. CONF: e5r (OpenBox choosed map, BorgTeam choosed conf)
On this map, Hammer started as attacker for the first 10 minutes, then Infinity took his place and played as attacker for the last 10 minutes.
Hammer did the first 17 caps, and Infinity did the last 21. Not bad at all, in 10 minutes each only!

THIRD MAP: Q3CTF1. CONF: e5r (BorgTeam choosed both map and conf)

Wanna see more? Sure you can! We have the demos you can download and playback!
Here you can grab the FIRST, the SECOND and the THIRD demo! Enjoy those!

As I wrote before, the FW was really funny, and we hope this will be not the last FW we will have.
We’re always open and ready to new games, so, if you wanna suggest some, feel free to do! Just ask and keep ready to fight!

Best Regards.
The BorgTeam.

Moving Borg Website to Our Own Root

Due to security probelms we were experiencing with the old website hosting, we decided to move back all the website / forum stuff to the old faithful (and trustworthy) linux root. Here, our (and YOUR) website will run nice and secure, keeping all the lamers/crackers/idiots at security distance, above our firewall.

So, for all their efforts, we really need to say * * THANK YOU!! * * to the following people:

• Hammer of Borg, who did lots of work
• Fluger, who spent lots of time and blood on the keyboard to help us moving, too
• Priorweb, who gives us the indispensable hosting

We’re still working on TeamSpeak, we didn’t forget that. But that still needs some time to be installed and perfectly fine-tuned.
Don’t worry, it will be back online and working soon, just give us a little more bit of time.
In the meantime, you can kill the time in various ways… and, if I can give you a little hint… well… ENJOY OUR GAME SERVERS!
And help us keeping alive one of the most played online games ever! Can you guess which? Oh, sure! you guessed!

Best Regards.
The BorgTeam.

Merry Christmas! Santa brought us back the Borg Servers! ^_^

Ok, it wasn’t Santa’s work.
But, thanks to the efforts of Hammer and Faster, Borg Servers didn’t stop, in the face of the VIP (see previous post for more infos) who was attacking those.
And now, since Faster upgraded the Linux OS and the integrated firewall to the latest version, now our servers are rock-solid again and no more DDoS attack vulnerable.
That’s why they’re back to the old hosting with the old faithful IPs.

So, KEEP NOTE!
BORG SERVERS ARE BACK, playables at the following IPs:

- 85.17.90.133:27960 for Borg CTF
- 85.17.90.133:27970 for Borg Pro

So, Quake3 Gamers of all the world, please allow us to greet you all our best

* * MERRY CHRISTMAS!! * *

And don’t stop playing on our servers!
Your pleasure. Our satisfaction.

Best Regards.
The BorgTeam.

Borg Servers moved to Alternate IP for a while

Well, as lots of you probably noticed, Borgs servers were down in the last days.

The fact is — they were (and actually still ARE) under attack. Somekind of VIP (very intelligent people) decided that it should be a nice idea to throw 70mbit of traffic on a game server, and that’s why Hammer and Taras quitted that for a while, to check if this would have result in stopping the attack itself.

Unfortunately, each time they tried to restart the servers, the attack restarted itself, and this was no longer endurable.

So, Hammer temporary moved the servers to another IP, giving him and Faster all the time to fix the problem and set up a working defense against those shitty attackers.

The new IPs are the followings:

- 95.211.136.33:27962 for Borg CTF
- 95.211.136.33:27970 for Borg Pro

Of course, we will let you know every update concerning this, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, enjoy our servers again, on the new IPs.

Best Regards.
The BorgTeam.

* SERVICE COMMUNICATION *

As you all probably noticed, all Borg Game Servers are actually down.
We know that, it’s not a connection or server problem.
Hammer is actually working hard for your gaming pleasure.
That’s to say, servers needed a full root reintallation to clean up all the stuff and, once he started to do the work, he also decided to UPGRADE all the servers to 2.2 version of Excessive Plus mod.
So, don’t run away and stay tuned.
Once all will be done, we will restart all over again, faster, better and more funny than ever.

* UPDATE *

Hammer and Taras worked hard the whole night to reinstall the servers and to do the upgrade, but a little problem come out at the finish line: maybe Leaseweb moved our hosting over a machine phisically different from the previous one, with a different implementation of Linux, so they were not able to restart the servers after the reinstallation.
We already contacted Leaseweb to let’em know the problem, and we’re waiting for an answer, ATM.
Servers will be restarted as soon as this problem will be solved.

* MORE UPDATE *

All the problems should be fixed, now.
All Borg Servers are up end running again, with fully reinstalled roots, and with brand new 2.2a version of Excessiveplus mod.
If you didn’t do yet, you can dowload the new mod that now using THIS LINK.
Sorry for the inconvenience, we hope that you will enjoy our servers again.

* EVEN MORE UPDATE *

Hammer is definitely NOT going to get even a single minute of pause. As soon as he finished the 2.2a update, the Excessiveplus developers team relased a new furthermore update, the 2.2b. Hammer updated the servers again, so they’re up-to-date (nearly real time ) again.
If you need that, you can download the new update HERE.

Best Regards.
The BorgTeam.
