Scipio's servers:

Day of the Eagle etc. (I think this was ran after AOTK but before SG3)

There were a few fun servers run after AOTK as well which went for a few weeks, but they didnt have names. I think DarkElf called them 7.25, 7.50 etc.

I seem to remember Pandora and the Vanilla Server being a couple of the CW 5.somethings, is that right? Was Artic Fire CW1? I don't seem to recall Klinshai or Rogue Jedi off hand...

There was that Klink/Fed border war server...I think that was one of the 5.somethings as well, not sure though...

Was "Empires" CW 5? Which one was Kel's?

I'm not sure if I should count the IPlays, lol...

Hmmm...I suppose at first I was thinking more of just the "major" servers, but the "fun" servers and "perisitant" servers have been just as important in their own ways, and are worthy of recognition.

Capt Jeff · « **Reply #7 on:** November 29, 2004, 06:29:48 am »

Empires was Castrin's/SFCx's persistant server.

CW5 was ISC/Klingons trying to pacify the rest of the races, but I can't think of the exact name.

Rogue Jedi's server was after Articfire's and before CW2.

There was also a pretty neat server up during/after Articfires simply called "University of Oregon".

I think we should have campaign ribbons made representing each server. That way we know who the vets and the noobs are.

I have played a lot of those campaigns.

And in another coinkydink, one of the reasons I put up this thread is that I was thinking of making campaign ribbons for my fleet, and wanted to get an accurate accounting of all the servers we have played.

Eco War is indeed still upcming (probably Januaryish) so no need to list it for ribbons......yet!.

Keltset did the Dragon's Teeth and Dragons Claw servers, which were really neat as they were the first and only (so far!) campaigns to shift the DV by more when facing humans than when facing AI. They were on EAW after we'd mostly made the switch to OP, however, so they didn't get as much press as they deserved.

LB3 was definetely EAW, we started it using SQL and had a problem that turned out to be an incorrect gf file setting that caused the server to crash at the first game year. It was Fluf's fault, lol.

KBF-WillWeasel · « **Reply #21 on:** November 29, 2004, 10:11:21 pm »

IDSL came before AOTK IIRC
Herr Burts 4 power war came right after IDSL but before AOTK
cw 7.xx's came after AOTK and Day of the Eagle came in there somewhere as well, but before Sg3
Lb4 was full OOB ROM/Klink VS Gorn/Fed

LB5 was mixed SFC2/3

Julin Eurthyr · « **Reply #22 on:** November 29, 2004, 10:22:49 pm »

There was a Rook's Tavern III, one of the earlier OP servers. Was a great concept, but blown up because of the Cartel Layer issues (hex needed to be owned by allied pirates before the empire could raise it's DV...) in the early OP server-kits.

LB4 was an OP affair, as WillWeasel points out. LB5 was a combined-effort D2 / D3 game, where Fluf had the D2 guys try out the DIP shiplist...

Yes, the RT3 setup was wonderful. it would be great to see that with a functional OP D2 and a "modern' setup.

Nice compilation update in the first post Wanderer

I seem to recall some servers being run by a group called TAG as well.

KAT Chuut-Ritt · « **Reply #26 on:** November 30, 2004, 03:23:24 am »

Look at Gooks sig pic wanderer for the order of the older servers starting with Klinshai.

BTW AF is Artic Fire not sure if it was cw 1 or not.

FPF-Wanderer · « **Reply #27 on:** November 30, 2004, 05:36:08 am »

Thanks for the kudos, TG.

Chuut, that is definately helpful, thanks. Although I'm wondering now if trying to get everything in the order run is feasible. I'm thinking that putting the list together by who ran them is more practicable.

At any rate, gonna be out of town down in Sac 'til the weekend, taking a short break from my caretaking duties (I can smell the 'nip, baby! heheh). Hopefully I'll get some computer time while there and continue updating this thread, but the sigs I'm working on will have to wait a bit, since I'll be away from my Adobe. Sorry about that, but I'll get right on them when I get back.

Articfire was first and was NOT CW1.

BBJones started Canada West because of his anger over the shiploss bug in the 2.0.0.6 build version of EAW.
He set CW1 and CW2 (Which were both before the 2.0.0.7g patch that fixed shiploss) to give you your same ship back if destroyed. See, way back then, if someone alted, pressed escape and forfeit (yes, they initially allowed you to press escape and forfeit just like single play !), or crashed, the server would think you died, and take your ship. When you logged back in, you were placed in a replacement ship. BIG BUMMER. Some liked the "No shiploss" solution, some hated it, but it was a work around for the times.....

CW1 Started shortly before Articfire's server crashed and burned. When it ended, Rogue Jedi's started. When RJ's ended, CW2 started. During this time, servers like Klinzai and University of Oregon were also up and running, as there were enough players to need more then just one campaign....

Dizzy · « **Reply #29 on:** November 30, 2004, 07:17:02 am »

Rogue Jedi_XC had a few servers thrown in there shortly after the Articfire was over. I remember the F1AF guys and the Mirak and me all getting into a buncha flame wars then... Gosh those were the days.

What were they called?

Anyone remember where the Fed vs Klink server came in and if it had a name? I'm also trying to remember if the Vanilla server was one of the CW 5.x's.

All the maps, including the separate race moderator starting maps are all available should someone want to do a redo. I even have the complete website, just needs a host.

The rules probably could use some adjustment and it would be great to have a model and shiplist for it, but at least the maps are available.

Should anyone like to do a redo sometime in the future, contact me. I'm pretty sure the rest of the original design team wouldn't mind, though I can't speak for them I'm still in contact with them. Emerald of course, is still around, the rest are currently active in EVE.

In other words, I think it's very doable. I'd just feel an obligation to make sure they were cool with it before reusing their previous work.

I don't remember the name of the guy who ran the UofO server, I should but I don't. I pm'd him a couple of times but never got together, although it would have been easy enough since I'm in Eugene (we could have had a couple of the guys from Portland come down had a bash I guess). I don't think it was Blyre though.

As far as RT3 goes, it was a lot of fun, maybe we could do it again (I think Cas is getting more interested in running a server again). It was sure fun flying in the GW with everyone again (too bad the holiday's cut my playing time in the last week to nearly zero). Man, there were sure some good times in the past, better than I've ever had playing any other game. No contest.

I will neither confirm or deny this rumor.

Btw ... Badlands was also a server I hosted for a very long time. Not only did it run longer than Empires, it had a few campaigns tied to it when not set as a "persistant" server.

I remember this one. I don't think it had a real name, just CW5.x Fun Server. It was just a big square with the Fed/Klink border running down a diagonal. It was the first server in which I flew as a Fed, and the first server where I used USS Mighty Photon as a ship name.

Was digging through some papers tonight and found some old notes I jotted down who knows how long ago, lol.

CW3 (or possibly 2, not sure) was called "A Clash of Arms". The 5.x fun servers I have noted are 5.5 (I think this was Frigate Hell), 5.75 Evil Empires (F/K vs everybody else), and 5.8, which was, as someone noted, the Fed vs Klink border war. After Storm Season (CW6), there was 6.25 PF Wars and 6.5 Ragnarok.

I was just thinking that it would be cool to have notations for the campaigns of what the sides were. There's a memory challenge for ya!
