The following is from the news page. As usual, I've setup a thread for this episode so I can answer questions you might have after listening.
This Period in Particle's Custom RPG, Episode 3
Yesterday I recorded another episode of the show. I cover topics about the server, the whole who-copied-who flame war thingie, and end with some notes on PCRPG Source.
This episode was recorded with a 96KHz sampling rate, so if you don't want the downmixed 48KHz MP3, grab the Ogg Vorbis file. It sounds better anyway, despite being smaller. If you're interested, give it a download:

Admin spam issue! w00!
...I don't know why you guys would think my server was gonna go down, I hadn't said anything to that effect...
Some thought that the lag was a prelude to server shutdown, because we knew that you were probably getting spammed about the lag on a daily basis via IMs and e-mail (which wasn't even your fault)... a lesser man would have just said "screw you ingrates" and stopped hosting. I know that's what I felt like doing when nappy's house of ACF started lagging through no fault of my own. We were (gladly) wrong though.

You said the magic words. Uh-oh.
Just to clarify, no clear. Also, I don't know what to think about the WTC attacks. It would make sense either way. As I said, I just love conspiracy theories--I'm a junkie.
-
I have a fun book going over some of the biggest conspiracies around, there are some pretty interesting and at least semi-convincing theories out there.
-
dammit particle, way to ruin the fun
-
Dude I am digging the vorbis.
Just a suggestion to add to this forum. Perhaps a stickied PCRPG source thread, where only you can comment/write, so that pcrpg forum members have a constant reminder of HL2RPG (PCRPG source) updates.
-
wtf run vorbis?!?!?!?!!
-
Winamp can play Vorbis by default. You might need a plugin for WMP to do it.
-
w00t! it works on winamp
-
That said, run linux.
-
My only concern about PCRPG for HL:Source is that not all of the same players will be there...itll just be a different community, not the same =\ community is half the reason people are here
-
you said you have people helping you with pcrpg HL. what about us still with tribes. why not let sneeky(i know you want to) make you more new zones and get rid of some old ones? if you havent noticed, no one has been playing lately except mostly gods or high remorts. lost people to other rpg's
-
It isn't the zones... PCRPG has remained the most popular trpg server with these same zones for a long time. I would say we are losing people due to uncontrolled assholes *coughfocus* and no interesting quests since september 2005.
-
Corona's absolutely right. Although new zones or new content of any type certainly doesn't hurt. Hell, I'm going to come back for a while once the rollercoaster quest can be run again.
-
Soon as schools done (or at least not as bad) i'll be back as well...
-
few more weeks and I'm done
-
Damn.. I have more time to play while school is in session to play than I do during the summer..
Don't you guys work and malarkey? 35+ hours a week and surfing take up all my time.

I put in the zones he made, so in that respect--I have been. No, I haven't noticed a lack of noobs, nor am I concerned about it. I've seen more variation than you could possibly know. Once summer hits, populations in all servers will explode. It's just how things seem to work for whatever reason.
When it comes time to put up a server of PCRPC Source, I'll do what I can to motivate people to move. Source is a very flexible engine--it'll actually run on pretty much any hardware from complete malarkey to the most advanced available (and look pretty good for any tier of hardware).

On a new character, I take it?
Caboose is almost a god and god characters can't be shared...
-
No. Once caboose reaches RL 99, shorty will be off it, and i'll be the one to take it to god and beyond. It actually times out nicely, becuase school is out in just a month and a half, and thats about how long its taking shorty to level him up =\

You actually believe that, don't you? lols...
-
I will testify for source running well on old hardware. My laptop, which is a Pentium 4 desktop processor 2.0ghz, 768mb ram, has a really crappy graphics card. ATI mobility M6. Let that sink in, it is a really old graphics chip. Ran HL2 just fine. Quality was PASSABLE in my eyes, I was quite suprised at the framerate I recieved.
-
Shorty's RL90+ now...and he doesn't sound at all like he's giving it up when he gets to god.
