Our Death Match server located in Texas is finally back online! BAILOPAN from AMXX posted an official patch for CS 1.6 Steamworks (Protocol 48). That means the weapon's menu system works and so thus the random spawns.

The HL1 servers are back online, however some of them aren't working correctly like Zombie Mod and Death Match. I'm still waiting for the authors of these plug-ins to update them so they can properly work with Protocol 48. As of now feel free to drop by the Classic, Gun Game and Fight Yard servers as they are working properly.

As most of you know, Steam rolled out an update for the HL1 engine making it Protocol 48. The protocol change totally messed up the game servers, all of them are constantly crashing and most of the plug-ins under AMXX don't work anymore. For example, our death match server has just been turned into a Pistol Only death match server wherein you can't select your weapon of choice and there's no more random spawn points.

The Zombie Mod server now has the latest version of Biohazard by cheap_suit (2.00 Beta 3b). If you're experiencing any kind of problems please post it in the forum. I've also updated the ZM map list. All of the maps have the updated and well thought-out spawn points by Cyrez (Versus my lazy spawn points, haha).

Since Kirk has been inactive for awhile and Kevin looks like he's busier than a couple of months ago, I've decided to promote 3 people to the head admin position. If you don't know what a head admin does, they are the admins that can resolve ban disputes something normal admins cannot do. They are also the people whom I know knows how I want to run PGN as a community. Don't forget to say hi to them when you see them in the servers.

Lately a lot of players have been complaining about not being ableto connect to the PGN game servers. it's about having a wrong version of a certain file required by a PGN game server to play (ie smile.spr). The error message looks like this.

Several players have reported last night that the PGN Ventrilo server was down. I thought the provider was just doing some maintenance of some sort, it turns out that they have changed the IP address of the PGN Ventrilo server (Funny how I didn't get an e-mail about it). Fret not as I've added the IP to ventrilo.tx.joinpgn.com so everything should be back online once TTL (Time To Live) is over.

I usually don't remove a PGN admin levels just because someone hasn't played in a long time...however it has come to my attention that 'several' PGN admins/moderators have not been doing their job after all. Some PGN admins never go online in IRC and never log back in our website as soon as they got their PGN admin levels. Please remember that you need to do the following if you are a PGN admin.

If you don't know it yet, PGN has a Ventrilo server hosted in Texas. Everyone can use it provided that you do not try and disrupt other people chatting/idling the server. The HOSTNAME:PORT is ventrilo.tx.joinpgn.com:4435.

You can now stop remembering the IP addresses of our servers as I have added domain names for each and every single one of them (Thanks to the name server changes a couple of days ago). Hopefully this will allow players to easily remember our servers and can easily spread the word about them.
