New Server and some changes
Posted: Wed Mar 30, 2016 7:26 pm
For the past couple days you may have noticed that our server went down for maintenance. This is because we have now switched to a new server host. You will all have to make a new PS2 net profile, or edit the old one and change your primary DNS accordingly:
NEW PRIMARY DNS: 173.198.207.99
The new server should be fine, but if any issues arise we will do our best to fix them promptly.
On to the next bit:
Some may be asking why we have a new server? Why the switch? Well it is with some difficulty to say but it is because the_fog is passing the server and forums onto other hands, and he will no longer be the frontman of obsrv.org.
His schedule as many of you know is very busy, and he has many other priorities. He and the team discussed possible solutions as to how this migration would transpire and we have come to an agreement as to what will happen with management change. Please note, the_fog will still remain here as an admin, and still pop in from time to time to say hello and potentially fix any leaky holes we might have. This is not the last you see of him, do not worry!
So who is our new admin/owner? His name is darksc0rpius. He has worked with myself and the_fog on the Twisted Metal Black Online revival … and they work together on a couple other things as well. So they are not strangers, and I have known darksc0rpius for around 13 years. The server is in capable hands. Please give him a warm welcome, he will be more behind the scenes and making sure things run smoothly so we can keep playing just as we always have.
We want to assure you guys, nothing here will change in terms of policy or functions of website and the game. Obsrv moves forward, the same as it has for over 2 years. I think I speak for all of us in saying that this place is very special and without the work, time and energy put in by the_fog, many of us would never have experienced online Outbreak or relive old moments. I can say from personal experience this server completely eclipses anything Capcom ever achieved for Outbreak (heck we have been alive longer than NTSC/PAL File 2 servers!). So a big thank-you for getting us this far, we owe you everything.
If you have any questions we will do our best to give answers or clarify. As well, if you spot any bugs or issues, we appreciate your patience in this transition phase. Hiccups are possible, but we will do everything to get up to 110%. The mod team still remains, and I am now a full website admin, so please send me and the others your enquiries.
Thank-you for your understanding, and Bob bless you!
