<div class="IPBDescription">For All of you who have visited us</div> Since not all the players who have visited us on the server check our boards at www.cofrfps.com and www.cofr.net I thought it prudent to make an announcement here.
Brutus, who has been running and financing most of the server is withdrawing at the end of the month. He hasn't been playing the game for ages, never was a big fan of NS, and has finally decided to call it quits. I'd like to thank him for paying out of his own pocket for so long for a gaming service he didn't even use himself, even though other contributers have come and gone, Brutus has been doing most of the work and putting in most of the cash.
I'd also like to thank everyone that has played on the server. It has been my almost exclusive place of gaming when it comes to NS, and for a good reason, it's been the best. The admins have done a great job but the actual gaming experience is of course dependant on the players chosing to visit us and it has been awesome, some of the best gaming experiences of my life. Thanks a lot guys.
The server is going down at the end of this month and whatever will replace it has not been decided yet. I am working on a couple of things but nothing is close to being ready to be announced yet so as of now there is nothing taking over. This means that in effect June the 30:th will be the last day of gaming on the CoFR server for now. I hope to see all the regulars on the server up until then, even though I can't participate myself due to RL I hope you make the most of what time is left. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
The NS part of CoFR is only a very small piece, the end of this server will hardly be a noticable change in traffic on CoFR resources. However, in my opinion, this has been the highest quality of games and gamers. I advice you to stick around CoFR so you know when (not if) our new Natural-Selection home comes online. Until then, try spreading the quality gaming on the public NS servers available or take up CS, BF1942, DoD or some other game that CoFR provides <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
GG's all and cya later!

And a huge kudos to Brutus. He's been running many different servers for CoFR for as long as I've been familiar with the group and I know what a financial burden that can be - especially if you don't really care to play the game that your server runs! Every server he's run has been an absolute pleasure to game on and this server in particular will be missed by many. GG's everyone!!!
Anyway, I remember when that was announced on the server. Yeah it was shocking news, I couldn't expect such a good server going down. Even I, a non-regular, have been amazed and welcomed by everyone on the server and I must admit, even for someone who only came so few times, it's sad to know such a great server is closing its doors. I hope for all you regulars to get up another server as soon as you can though <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
two of my favourite servers are going down! Where will I play now? No more Roobs, no more Cofr...
Hope the new server comes up fast, or I won't have anywhere to play 1.1...
Aw well, thx brutus. Never knew you put so much into this.
gg
OSS server is one of teh most popular, and Im really lucky to have it full 24/24 7/7...!!!
Seeing server closing because NS is gettin unpopular and slowly dying...

erm... You missed why it was closed down, didn't you. It isn't that NS is unpopular.
I just hope we can find a viable substitute where all the regulars and irregulars can play together once again. This great community has made my NS experience so much better.
No more roobs is BS
IF it's not BS, I'll go to the UK and whoop his **** so long untill he makes it into BS.
Sorry to see a good server go, hope to see you come back in the future.
Good luck <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

CoFR has housed some of my best NS games, ever.
I agree with this completely. We were all in virtual tears yesterday when someone said it was going down soon. CoFR has been the best server I've seen. Great group of people and pretty consistant fun games. Some of the best games I've played in the entire time I've been playing NS has been on CoFR. Additionally, there were none of the stupid deathmatch/gimmick maps, and that was why I first started playing.
Thanks for running it, I'm very sad to see it go!

*Cough* Spelling.
Just because its popular doesnt make your server good Nitro. FFS the last time I played there the alien team were newbies, and every marine that would go near their hive would get banned. And we would keep gettting slayed over and over so we wouldnt touch them. If you call that fun, then you are seriously screwed up =/
p.s: you teamstack all the time.. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
And yes Nitro, there is some serious team stacking on that server of yours.

GG's CoFR, may you rest in peace.
Explain. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
I'll <span style='color:white'>move</span> this to the Server forum, where it can frolick freely with posts of its kind <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Heh, if FR31 was empty, I sit and wait for folks. If no one showed, I just don't play. *cries*
But 1.1 CAN help the situation, because if there are significant cuts in server resource usage, there should be significant cuts in server hosting costs. And if the hosting costs go down it will be much more likely that the great group of people here can manage to carry on to a new server.
Of course this is irrelevant to the 1.1 release schedule, but it is something interesting to keep in mind.
I suppose it's been lucky for me that CoFR 31NS is being shut down after real life has picked up, and when I've all but stopped playing NS. Come 1.1, things'll return to their old ways. I'll see you guys on the battlefield.
