Relaunch

6 March, 2011 - Mastermind | 0 Comments

Hello!

Today on 6-3-2011 Gamers4Life has made a relaunch. A couple of months ago we were a successful community with popular servers, servers like our Half-Life 2: Deathmatch server were almost always full. Unfortunately about six months ago we hit hit by two massive DDoS attacks, which caused our servers to exceed their bandwidth limit, so I had to pay (alot) extra for them. It was so much that I decided that I couldn't risk the possibility that it would happen again, so I took the servers down. But now, six months later, I have successfully found a way to ensure that it will never happen again. So now, here we are, with a brand new website, brand new forums and a brand new opportunity for success! Let's make something out of it!

Come and visit us: www.gamers4life.net

We also got a whole new team of people representing us now, you can find the full list here: http://forum.gamers4life.net/showteam.php

Best Regard,
Mastermind

P.S. The gameservers will be up in a couple of days!

The end.

Dear members of Gamers4Life Gaming orginazation.
As you may have noticed, the past few months we have been having trouble with our servers provider. This is why we switched to a different provider last month. After we struck a good deal with them for a monthly price that we could pay, they didn’t deliver up on their end. We got the server but only a week and a half later is was down again because of a so called DDoS.

A few days later when the server became accesible again, we investigated the incident and found it was a direct attack on us, someone has a grudge against us, but that Is now history. We had overcome this challenge once again and went on. The server was coming along nicely and we never had so many players on our servers (average of 12 players all day round (14 was the maximum)). All was coming just so well again, our auto restart and management system was almost done and we ware also partially done with our own website control panel to manage all the domains. Then our IP’s we getting cut off and the server became, once AGAIN, inaccessible. At this time it took us and the providers staff about a week to trace why. We found that our second IP was still up and moved everything to there, which then also got cut off after about a day.

We are now about 4 weeks further since the initial DDOS that plagued us in the start, and we got the message that they had shutdown our server on the term of ‘suspicious activities’.
Since we’re still negotiation we can’t reveal any details about the last who or why but we do know that this is getting ridicules’ so we, Gamerlv and Mastermind, have made our decision.
As of the time of this post, we will be shutting down G4L and all assets related to this.
We hope you had a good time and if we decided to continue, we hope you will be there once more.

Our community was successfull since January 6, 2009 to 6-11-2010. We had a successfull stand for one year and 304 days, and we would probably have been around a lot longer if these events hadn't occured.

We thank you for your time.
