First of all, just wanted to thank the community of server operators/admins for responding; and bringing-up additional servers for the players trying to get into the game.
The player response to the release was overwhelming. Who would have thought that a free Steam game, that is basically a stripped-down "reboot" of an older OrangeBox mod would be as popular as it was. It is kind of assume that player-interest will fade some over the coming week's - but who really can tell. At any given time, there seem to be between 800 and 1,700 players in-game (according to the Steam community hub page). Just on my own FoF servers alone, I have seen almost 7,000 unique SteamID's connect/play (based-on HLStatsX:CE tracking). Currently, there seem to be plenty of servers on-line for FoF. Although, anybody is willing to bring one up of course - ESPECIALLY if you actually play the game. At this point, what I would like to encourage everyone to take all the FoF-related discussions *OFF* the HLDS and HLDS_Linux distribution lists. I am sure everybody NOT interested in FoF is tired of all the FoF-related chatter. Thanks also to them also for putting-up with the extraneous chatter. I have not seem any negative feedback on that - but let's not "outstay our welcome". The official FoF links are: Official Steam Game Group Page (links to everything else): http://steamcommunity.com/games/fof Steam Store Page (where to send people to get the client): http://store.steampowered.com/app/265630 Steam Game Hub/Community Page: http://steamcommunity.com/app/265630 Specifically, the "Discussions" part of the game-hub: http://steamcommunity.com/app/265630/discussions *** Most importantly ***, the "Server Administration" discussion area (where we should probably be taking these conversations): http://steamcommunity.com/app/265630/discussions/6/ PS: I am not the developer of FoF or anything remotely like that. Just another server operator who's been at this a while like everybody else here - and just happened to be a fan of the game (old and new). The developer has granted me some access to clean-up the "discussions" area of the community hub - which has (appropriately?) been like the wild-west - in terms of people going WAYoff-topic, duplicate discussions or just posting in the wrong areas.. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
