Network Downtime
Update: Everything is back online.
Our datacenter is currently working with the switch that we are on, so all services are down at the moment. We are not expecting this downtime to last very long.

Server Downtime
This morning I took the server down so that I could move our data to another server. I needed our host to transfer our IP block over, so I made a ticket at 8:29 AM. I figured this would only be a half-hour-or-so process, but I have not gotten a reply since 8:35 AM. I just thought I’d let you guys know why everything is down and I will try to get everything up as soon as possible once the...

Battlefield 3 Server
Update: We have temporarily taken this server down while the issues with the BF3 server software are being fixed.
Thanks to a generous grant from the “Hankey and LuaMilkshake’s Wallet” foundation, we have been allowed to purchase a 64-slot Battlefield 3 server. You can find the server in the server list by searching for “US TX DarklandServers.com [BF3]”....

Unexpected Extended Downtime
FW is back up and working now
I’m really sorry about the past ~13 hours of downtime guys. I moved everything to a new box because the provider had a sale and I could save us about fifty dollars per month. This sale was right on the night that I was leaving for a trip to Texas, so I needed to do everything while not at my desktop. I now have the website and the forums up, the FortWars server...
Servers Joinable Again!
There was an issue with the server’s loading page that was causing clients to crash while they were joining. I’ve set the loading page to our main website until I get around to making something pretty for it. Let me know if you are still having issues joining.

RP Development Update 3
We’ve been working with our mapper lately. We think we know what we’re going to do now, here are some screenshots of a brief layout of some of the map’s roads:
We have been working on the gamemode too, but that has mainly been planning and backend engineering, so there’s not much to show visual-wise.
OMG! The website changed!
Indeed, I am now starting to use my new site theme as the actual site. There are a few bugs here and there, I know. I am going to be working on the site all day today, so I should have things sorted out soon.
The forum is now going to be at http://forums.darklandservers.com/. This DNS change means that some people may not be able to access the forums for a few hours. I apologize for this, and I...
