Volkmar is still a go!

Ok folks… so there are concerns with the sever being full at the moment. We have heard from some inside sources that these are fake caps at the moment, and that we shouldn’t be worried, so we are going to go ahead and play on Volkmar.

We are playing secondary characters when we don’t feel like waiting on the Q’s on vortex, so if you want to play a throw away character, come join us there. If you don’t mind the wait in the Q, please continue to play on Volkmar.

Thanks!

Chaos

Podcasts + Forums & Server, etc…

Ok, so we turned off quite a bit of things over the past week, and have been working on getting backups of databases and files (still getting files — over 60k at the moment).

We are not getting much feedback from our host on whether the steps we have taken have alleviated the problems they say we have with CPU cycles, so we are going to be proactive *grin* and turn the forums back on.

We are hoping that the CP servers pulling files from DWP was the issue, and we’re going remove those files so people no longer hit our server for those files. If you manage a CP server and have your files hosted on our machine, we’re sorry to say, but we’re going to have to stop that practice.

We hope people can understand this, and we’re trying to get the forums first then the play servers. Our priorities are this — Website -> Podcast -> Forums -> Gameplay. We feel this is the food chain and we’ve been working under this premise for the past week.

The podcast has been delayed, although recorded, and we are looking to just resume our normal day of next wed. This is due to many issues… we have the episode recorded, but we haven’t had time to give it our CP lovin. We apologize for the delay, and you can expect it next wed at the latest.

Thanks everyone, and the forums are now back up. More information when we get it.

DWP Forums shut down due to excessive traffic

Our host is saying that our forums are being hit so hard that we either have to move to a $300 a month dedicated server or they will be suspending our account.

We have to act fast on this, so please spread the word, and I’ll make a post on the site.

The forums will be ceasing TODAY — in a few minutes, until we can figure out what the issue is.

We apologize for this, and we hope they will be back up very soon, because the community matters to us a great deal, and we believe the forums are a big part of that.

We will try to keep everyone up to date on the main website, and within steam when possible. We appreciate everyone’s patience in this matter.

Thanks!
Chaos

Episode 46ish - The Missing Episode

Well, it was a comedy of errors over the past few days, and even though we had planned to get together and record the next episode of control point, we failed. Miserably. People were out of town, or sick, and it just didn’t happen. Soooo…. no more need to ask when the podcast will be out this week, because it won’t be.

What else you can expect in this show:

Nothing!
Dead Air!
long pauses!
quick download times!

Team Fortress 2 Blog - Evolution of the Demoman

The path to arriving at a final design for a character is sometimes a long and winding one. This was especially the case for the Demoman and we thought it would be interesting to step through that process and shed a little light on how we arrive at our final designs.
