Ghosted's server shutting down :(

Due to overwhelmingly negative feedback from some CTC members, I've decided to shut my server down. Ghosted's server is no more. My illusions of creating an elite UT3 clan built from players I stole from CTC and DD are crushed. You can thank Papasmurf, Vapor, et al. for that... We had some good times, but oh well.

While I'm here I'd like to anounce there is a new CTC server at the same IP as the my old server. It has the same modifications and the same maplist and is currently up. This server will exist under the same ruleset as the other CTC servers and will have the same compliment of admins including me (mainly in maintenance role). I've decided that I will donate to CTC the costs to run this server by paying for it directly with my credit card. That is all.

in 2004 or UT3?

Sin, he was being funny.

I think it is great that CTC now has another server out there. Soon we will have others and then our ranks will swell. They will see that CTC is the Truth, the Light and the Way. It is written.

In time there will be a decree that all followers must wear a Golden Thong of Commitment made of golden satin. I already have mine on in anticipation of that great day.

Thanks Ghosted!

You are one heck of an awesome guy Ghosted. We are truly reaping the benifits of your time, dedication, unselfishness, and mere presence in this grand community.

Everything good takes time, and effort.
Like I said "good job Ghost"
Thanks for your time!!!!
Time, for people to get used to
something different.
Effort, pushing people like Bad did,(thank you)
to get people to come play.

Maybe this server will be playable.. So will the name be Ghosted's CTC UT3 UT2004 server? I have heard it is all in the name...

I don't think I have given negative feedback on the server. I think it is great. I just don't want to leave all my other friends that are playing on the other servers. If everyone had UT3 and made the switch, I would have no problem playing it more. It is more about the people I play with and not really about the game too much.

Maybe this server will be fun now that CTC is running the place.. those guys are awesome.

People go play other games all the time Papa!
Lame excuse lol! Kidding, You might not like ut3 to much.
It takes some getting used to!
I understand what you mean though, the people that arent able to play ut3. :cry:
Its usually at the end of the night when we go play ut3,
after lots of games of ut 2004!
Dont think people mind to much.
Im really glad to have friends like you all!!!!
Appreciate the time and effort that goes into the servers
Playing such fun games with you all makes my miserable
life more enjoyable....

Not having a copy of the game isn't an issue. Multiple people have volunteered to pay for other peoples copies. I you want a copy Gambit, we can work something out. I'm sure if anyone in CTC wanted a copy, but couldn't afford it, arrangements could be made. Does that solve the issue? I'm definitely interested in keeping everyone playing together as Papa said.

Or is there the problem that some people just don't like UT3? I think there's plenty not to like in the default game, but we're having fun with the modifications I've made. If you just don't like it period, then I can relate. I feel the same way about carball and trials.

Also, thanks for the nice words to those that said them :)

If u need the use of a vent server or something, come talk to me. I did set up a UT3 channel if u want to use it.
