Recently, ZE just broke into the world top5 of Global Offensive servers. This is by far beyond the expectations I had when I started this project about a year ago. Well, to be completely honest with you all, I didn't think this server would last more than a month or so and I was somewhat in doubt if all the work I was putting into it would pay off. Eventually I got a lot of support from many people from the community (Wicked, Jazz, Ripperz, SirScott, etc) and we started to create a pretty good playerbase.
Fast foward a few months, the dreadfull halloween update came out and caused the whole server to crash endlessly, in which the server emptied out and I completely froze for a few weeks as I saw a good chunk of my work go down the drain in that exact moment.
After I got the server back on its feet, with the fixes I was finding here and there, the server started to fill up again, and to my knoledge, it never really stop. Before I noticed we were on the top50. Then the top20. Then the top10. And now here we are.
"So why the hell did you just wrote these two stupid paragraphs describing something that we already know?". Simple reason is that I kinda want to thank everyone who's helped me directly or indirectly wether on testing the server, populating the server, cheer me up when ze decides to break in 10 different ways or simply for sticking around and have patience while I attempted to fix whatever I could fix to make the experience more enjoyable for you (players). Many people were congratulating me for the top5 but I own that rank for the people that stick around the server for countless hours wether to have fun or just to administrate it, and with that, I, again, thank you so much for it.
And no, this is not a step down thread, calm the fuck down Nuclear.
