First of all, thanks to everyone who participated in our game times during saturday.
Sadly, all in all it did not quite work out the way I expected, maybe because of some organisatory flaws of mine.
By default, I'm trying to be ingame during these hours myself or at least be online in steam for any kind of support but (ironically during this first game times) I had some private RL issues, so I could not manage to show up.
I will still try to establish some proper, yet experimental, game times .
In a not so distant future we will have a general voting for public-friendly game hours if needed, where you get to choose your favourite times.

That was for the more or less bad news, the good ones is that an once thought lost server found its way back into the server list ;
GrillJane's server is up again ! After a short talk with GrillJane, he updated his server to the 5.02 version and got it up and running again =) As you may already know, GrillJanes is the best choice for european players, hosting up to 16 players with a relative stable ping. It's very likely we will work together with GrillJane in the future to ensure a good play for everyone, also aside the game hours.
Big thanks to him !

Also, the infamous ChromeAngel from the Ex2RS dev team is now officially a group admin, being the second admin besides me. Chrome will help me mainly with schedules and share his valuable experience on Ex2/steam and server mangement as well as lending me a helping hand from time to time.
I'm sure chrome will inspire my work even more then he already did =)

When the group member number reaches a certain (undefined) point, I will appoint another 2 or 3 admins. Everyone who is an ethusiastic Ex2 fan and is willing to sacrifice some of his free time for the group will be taken into account.
Also I search for other supporters and contributers, people who can host games or have the proper means to set up game servers. So if you can support the team in any way, tell me. I appreciate every possible help I can get.

By the way: If you ever feel the urge to play Ex2 and have some time, just try joining our group chat.
I'm sure you will sooner or later find someone to play, just be patient and everything will just work out fine...
For now, enjoy your remaining weekend evening.
