New user registrations and forums are closed in preparation for the new site. Current forums and users have been converted over and everything will go live soon.
Apologies for the downtime the past week or so. Several upgrades have been done to the hosting environment and a couple sites on the network are incompatible with the upgrades. I've altered the configurations to get those sites back up.
This news is a bit late. We have a new lineup of servers for CS:GO, Insurgency and Team Fortress 2. These will be staying up for the foreseeable future. We have a ton of available space on this machine, so if any of you know someone interested in renting a server in the Central US area, please send them my way. I'll be adding the server monitors to the page soon. Until then, here are the IP's.
The site was suffering an excessive slowdown since moving it to its own account on the server. Found it was due to several image files not loading when the browser was requesting them to load. Seemed to be a sort of permissions issue not letting them load up and causing the entire site to take up to 10 seconds to load a page with broken images.
So far I've fixed it and is back to being blazing fast . If anyone notices any broken images or any excessive wait times for pages to load, please let me know on here or Skype/Steam/Whatsapp.
I'm going to setup the main Twitch account today for us and send invites. I'll upload my OBS settings somewhere and give you and Zero the link so we're all working on the same stuff.
We have setup another Insurgency server in New York @ 45.58.122.170:27025. This is a temporary location until we can get the rest of the hardware configured in our rack. Once that is complete, we will be announcing the new IP address in the current server as well as here.
Our CS:GO server has a new IP address - 69.162.123.187:27015, please update your favorites. Also, the rack our Insurgency server is on has been down for a while (again). Lots of upgrades and configuration changes are being made and will be back up as soon as it's ready.
We're doing some spring cleaning. The Insurgency server will be down today until at least 1pm EST. We'll update once everything is hooked back up.
Update: 11:00pm Cleaning took more time than previously thought. The area is still a bit damp, so we are having to wait a while longer before hooking up the rack.
Update: 4/9/2k15Sorry for the crazy downtime we put the rack back a long time ago but we got busy forgot about it and finally remembered today and so its back up now enjoy everyone!!!
Our Insurgency server is currently offline due to massive power outages across the Atlanta area after an ice storm last night. We're waiting on service crews to fix blown transformers and fallen power lines.
Update: 4pm Power is back on and server is currently running. Crews are possibly still working in the area and there may be a couple power cycles over the next several hours. Other than that, see you on the battlefield!
We've had an EMP Twitter and Youtube account for several years. Though, I've never found the time or reason to use them. Zero and I will be uploading videos to our Youtube channel and posting quick news bits on Twitter, as well as interesting links and random stupid things. I have added Twitter and Youtube feeds to the bottom of the site. Any EMP member that wishes to have their videos uploaded to the channel, please contact me.
Maintenance on the Insurgency server is complete. Unfortunately, due to the reconfiguration of the server rack, the IP has been changed. The new IP is 50.192.34.140:27015 I hope all regulars are able to come back and continue to kick some ass
The server rack that hosts our Insurgency server is currently down for maintenance. Hard drives being added and lots of performance enhancements are being made. Zero or I will post here as soon as we get that finished and back up.
