Welcome to Fearless Assassins Gaming Community

On behalf of all Fearless Assassins, I would like to invite you to celebrate the xmas/winter gameday.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 
 

Date: Saturday December 14th

Time: Starts at 12PM - Ends at 12AM GMT +0

Server: =F|A= NQ#1 XPSAVE

IP: nq1.clan-fa.com:27960

@daredevil  moved a number of USA-located ET, INS and DOI servers to a new machine last Tuesday, the 13th of November.

He set up the new Domain Name Server IPs on Wednesday, the 14th.  They are all running good today, Thursday.  😄   

He actually copied the server software and records from the old machine to the new one.  The old servers will continue running until the machine lease is up, in a few days.  The old servers may still show up in ET Browsers until then.

You should use the Domain Names to connect to the changed servers.  I always use this method because while those names never change, but the IPs do sometimes.  

Jay#2       /connect jay2.clan-fa.com

Silent#1   /connect silent1.clan-fa.com

NQ#2      /connect NQ2.clan-fa.com

CHANGED on 5 December:   The new IP for Silent#1 was changed to 185.150.191.44 , which has helped players and admins in BRazil to connect.  Some had been having problems joining the server!  /connect silent1.clan-fa.com will now go to that new IP.

In the 2.6b and the ETL Server Browsers, you may see duplicate FA names for some servers.  The same-named servers often show different maps running, BUT both twins show the same population!  That will make it hard for players to join the "new server" instead of the old one.

Here is a copy of the old and new IPs for the affected servers, from Daredevil

                        old                       new 

Jay2      = 108.61.21.94  -> 172.93.107.57

Silent1  = 108.61.21.93  -> 172.93.107.70     ->  185.150.191.44

NQ2     = 108.61.21.92  -> 104.243.42.89

 

INS and DOI -> 104.243.42.89

 

Below is an image of 'duplicate servers' captured by @madjimmie some 6 hours ago.  The Silent#1 and "#2 XPSAVE" (Jay#2) "twins" show the same names, number of players and pings, but different maps.    That 'same number of players' will be a problem for some joiners.   

This will all get back to normal when the old machine's lease expires, and the old servers disappear from the browsers.

This Monday, the 28th of October, 2024, marks the 16th anniversary of the founding of the FA Clan by The Founders,  @daredevil,  @RainierWolfcastle and @JoeDirt in 2008.

The calendar entry : 

Contains a link to DD's news announcement in 2017:

We have seen the years go by with Triumph and Tragedy, along with "WTFs?", "OMGs!" and a lot of "well that was fun, fun, fun"!  😄

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!  As I was writing this topic, a spambot made a post that I had to remove from public view and had to ban the poster's account.   We have blocked 10s of thousands of such pests over the years, saving our readers al lot of time and trouble.   😄

Yes, @yaku, it is still Monday here, so I did get this announcement "done in time". 😄  

We are happy to announce our new Staff members from Beg1 and from NQ servers, @Ashuyai and @TomekKromek!

On behalf of the FA management, we would like to congratulate and thank you for your services on the No Quarter and Beginners 1 a.k.a Jay 3 servers. 

@Ashuyai became a main pillar, always available to help, he´s trustful, shows a lot of maturity, skills to handle conflict situations, he cares about his recruits, creates a great atmosphere, is a respected clan member around servers, it´s good to have him up to management team. 

@TomekKromek has been around for many years, quickly establishing himself as one of the technical pillars of NQ1 who manages the server’s map rotation and, most recently, advanced to Event team lead. His invaluable contributions include testing maps, creating map scripts, and repairing waypoints issues and he learned these things without hesitation by himself to fix problems which are plaguing our admins on the daily. As he wants to realise even more changes and continue improving the server, we hope to implement his skillset better within the realm of a Staff position with the explicit focus on the technical side of things.

I would like to ask you to wait a bit until @daredevil sets your forum groups. 

Welcome and congrats to both!
