Vault F4 Gaming

As has become a seasonal routine, we're adding some new maps and retiring some old maps from our Custom Maps servers. Something of note, a couple of these maps take advantage of our new system for sending custom assets on-demand to players, which allows us to add maps that previously wouldn't have been possible.

• A/D Dusk - A beautiful and compact two-stage map, set in a cozy Alpine evening.
• A/D Silvertrail & A/D Edifice - Two older maps from 2009 and 2011 respectively, built similarly with expansive open areas filled with flank routes, and a Gravelpit-style layout that forces RED to rotate between A and B, culminating in a difficult hold on an elevated C point.
• DOM Badwater - Made by a TF2C developer, Wheat, this edit remakes Badwater into a 4-team domination map, with...

We're absolutely thrilled at the popularity of the mod once downloads resumed. To that extent, I think today was a record day in that we actually hit maximum server player capacity during the day!

Rest assured, we do have some extra capacity to add new TF2Classic instances, and we will be doing so in short order - we've already added another US and EU standard, and we'll be keeping an eye on that to see whether even more is required. (Edit: We've added two more US standards for now and will see what tomorrow brings in each region.)

Alas for our Australian friends, a second instance there necessitates a VPS upgrade so it is not as simple as spinning up a new install, but if it remains popular we will definitely look at what we can do there.

As I spin up new instances there may be brief hiccups in things like HLStats while configurations are deployed - so I apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

Thank you all again for your patronage - frag on!

VaultF4 is proud to welcome you all back to TF2 Classic!

We're looking for new staff members to help us handle this influx of new players on our servers. Staff members will be responsible for handling disputes between players on our servers, issuing gags, mutes, and bans to rule breakers, and moderating sprays. Experience with moderating source servers is preferred but not required!

If you are interested in applying to be a staff member, you can find the community applications forum here.

Also, in an effort to get more feedback on potential applicants, we've created a feedback subforum for the community to leave feedback on potential applicants. Feedback left in this subforum will only be visible to senior admins, and will not be seen by regular admins, trainees, or applicants. Use this forum to leave all your feedback (both good and bad) about anyone who's currently applying to be staff.
