Update on hardware upgrade, and system move.

[Ryan]

You guys were in TX before right? Will this mean being in Chicago I'll lag more being from Cali? I'm happy you guys are upgrading finally Well, I've only been here for 3 months, but I've donated quite a little so it's nice to see you're keeping your word on the upgrade

GO UOG

Hey man...

I appreciate your support and everything but I think your sig is crossing the line...

My friend just got really pissed at me because he saw this post and is married to a black woman... I'm all for jokes but I think this is a little over the top.

hey ryan. did u guy already hire new councys? cause i was looking forward to join uogamers staff and no one replyed or said anything about it.

 

[Pepsi_Rox]

Ryan i love you not b/c of the new shard, but finally you stopped teh constant "the shard crashed" threads

 

[duxwig]

I could have swore in IRC you said something about a Quad Operton, unless you were talking about the new rebirth machine....

 

[drakeypooh1]

Wow, Chicago is really close to where I live!

Now I can pwn you all with my l337 connection.

 

[riffraff]

I did my part

Sweet

We picked up a very nice Dell Poweredge 6850.

This server is a Quad Intel Xeon MP 3.2 with EMT64, 8 Gigs of RAM and 4 73 gig 15,000 RPM Drives running RAID 10.

No joke, I got half a stalk reading that.

You guys ****ing OWN. I could never be disappointed with this shard, and the service you provide, but god damn, it's stuff like this that makes me happy to donate, happy to defend you if players or other shards talk ****, and happy to play here.

I can't say enough... I truly appreciate the gift of gaming that you provide. Thankyou.

 

[duxwig]

Amen on the no lag-chicago thing.
I ping great to the current server and chicago is only 2 hours away from me

 

[FlyingRat]

I'm on cable and it took me more than a minute to load the Level3 website, this ****'s gonna be laggy baby!

 

[jhaglund]

hellz ****in yea

 

[95_GT_Stang]

Nice I'm glad to see my recent donation going somewhere. Thanks man, you kick ***!

 

[MasterShake2]

Omg

Dude your so awesome maybe that i posted that i can get free stuff right?

 

[daylatehero-hybrid]

Honestly, how much do you make, average, monthly off donations?

 

[ChuckR]

That would be kinda neat to see how active and how much our donations actually contribute to the shard... :/

Kinda just show how much we are pulling together and what help we can provide.

 

[drakrum-hybrid]

Oh my jesus. Ryan that is a sweet server. Chicago huh? Well thats less lag for the majority of the shard lol. This is nice, do you know when this move will take effect? I wanna be around when it happends!

Not to bad of a jump for me just 10 - 14ms! I like it, plus with that server i wont even notice that jump cause it will be so smooooooth. Wewt!

 

[R0B0T]

hello

^^^^ that guy knows zero about the internet.

 

[drakrum-hybrid]

Why does everyone have to flame? From me posting my ping statics to a WEBSITE not even the actual server was just a test to see what i could expect not an actual expectation. I was just expressing my optimism of the new server. But you on the otherhand have to flame people for their excitement. Man, please stop it right here we dont need this.

 

[LeGiOn-hybrid]

drarum, that would of been a good estimation as to what to expect but the server that host www.level3.com is located in Broomfield, Colorado and not Chicago.
