We're moving once again as mentioned < here >. Our current game servers are shutting down and will soon be off-line as mentioned < here >. You might wanna go ahead and update your favorites now, you don't wanna miss out!

Now Up And Running: Our New IP 174.133.201.130


Our Team Fortress Classic fans will soon be automajically re-directed to the new servers. However, our Counter Strike Source and Team fortress 2 fans will have to find us by name as I don't have the convenient luxury of re-directing them.

This migration will soon be in effect and certainly ready for the major < Team Fortress 2 Heavy Update > followed by the "Free For All Weekend" planned beginning August 22 at 11 am PDT.

Back in Feb of 07 we took leap forward as we jumped from a Pentium Series Processor into our first Dual Core. Last month I stumbled across a few promotions which I couldn't resist, this lead to negotiations which landed us in allot more power then I could have ever imagined.



Let's take a peak under the hood, shall we

The 4 new gaming servers are ready to rockn'roll and I will post info on them in the near future. A few of us have already tested them and from what we've seen the performance is notably better! Not only are we advancing ahead in hardware, we are also moving into a new Data Center which has just undergone an upgrade!

Data Center Bulletin: Network Upgrade Scheduled for Sunday, August 3, 2008


Stay Tuned

I'd like to thank everyone who stopped by, I thinks it's the most I've played Team Fortress 2 since its beta release long ago.



We had a great time and the server was full (12vs12) most of the weekend. At times I found myself having to wait to get in!

We've had a tough time getting this server off the ground due to all the competition. I'm hoping we've picked up a few regulars during this blow out weekend. We've tried 2fort or vote, popular map rotation or vote as well as trying our luck with sniper map rotation or vote, no such luck.

I think in combination of being one of the first servers updated with the big update and running the new map Gold Rush 24/7 has put us on the map. The big test was today.. will the server fill once again now that the free weekend is over

Well, if you guessed 'yes'.. You guessed correctly! Its Monday afternoon and I just came off a lil 7 on 7 action with some sweaty palms. In the time it took me to post this the server filled. Lets hope we can keep this up.

Get in there and play, add all your friends and lets get pimping and make this happen

Our 'Steam Friends' has grown to approximately 130 members in addition to picking up a small following (100+ members) from the crazy but dedicated following known as the 'Bot Busters (=BB=)'.



I'll be adding a few more Steam Friend Admins which will enable them to invite more people to our ever growing community. Its a great tool and keeps us connected, I can't tell ya how many times I've been sitting at my desk working and saw Steam Friends notify me that one of my friends has joined TF2, TFC, CS:S etc and is playing...

Didn't take me long to blow off work and join

More information can be located information< here >.

Recently I've started to see many people pimping their servers and/or favorite servers in their siggys. I thought I'd take some time and add OWOL's servers, though come to find somebody had already added sever 1|!



GameTracker ranks Server 1 9th while Game-Monitor ranks it 7th, either way.. not to shabby. Last night I added the rest of our server and took ownership. Maybe I'll add some info later.

Anyways.. it's been awhile since I've posted any news, I think its time we bump the 'Merry Christmas' news!

Its done, I sent the ticket in to kill 69.93.112.50 (a moment of silence).

As many of you know Wednesday, Oct. 3 2007 was a dark day for OWOL. Our main box in Dallas TX suffered a hard drive failure resulting in the infamous BSOD. After running a few diagnostics on the disk it was found to be corrupt, a few bad sectors were found leaving an OS reload on a new drive our only option. I guess you could say this was the kick in the butt I needed. The old box ran 24/7/365 for about 3 years and was very good to us, <RIP>

I took advantage of the downtime and scrambled to get a temporary page in place while I picked up the migration project I started last January! OWOL has finally been migrated off the old box and on to the new Enterprise Server I purchased last January.

After a few days of testing our forum database and source files everything seems intact and working fine. We've accumulated so much stuff over the years you may come across a few broken links or missing artwork etc., this is expected. Feel free to post any errors you come across, there shouldn't be many.

The plan is to pull the plug on the repaired box (69.93.112.50) and finish setting up the new box as planned. Long live OWOL!

Welcome back everyone
