Hello,

The servers have just been taken offline for routine maintenance and are coming back one-by-one. Today we will be moving away from SrcStat as the main plugin for donations, trails, ranks etc and going to a brand new plugin designed and written exclusively for Metagaming. With it comes new [MG] member privileges; every member now has a trail. Donations are now cheaper and simplified, making it easier to help out the servers and get special benefits in-game.

The donation system has changed from being complicated to being very simple, all you need to do it sign in via Steam and donate using the PayPal buttons provided. You will receive an email with a key which you can redeem on the donation system. The URL for the new donation system is http://donate.metagaming.co.uk

Admins are also able to perform many actions on this new website, including muting, unmuting, gagging, ungagging, slaying, slapping, kicking and banning. There is still a ban list which you can use to see ban times, banners and ban reasons.

Other improvements to the plug-in come in the form of performance and speed improvements. Ranks and top are now instant, appearing in chat as soon as you type it. Managing your model, player colour, trails and hats are now all done via in-game menus and saved across all of the zombie master servers.

If you notice any issue with the new plug-in, or want to ask questions, please use the following thread to do so. If you lost admin status during this transition, you can use this thread for that too.
