For more than 1,5 years, Discovery Gaming Community was the only source of information about Discovery mod. Now, as Discovery is getting more popular, its time to extend our web presence. I hereby introduce our new information website, located at http://www.discoveryfl.com.
As you can see, design of this website is quite basic. In future design and layout will improve, but concept will remain the same: a simple, fast-loading html site containing information, news and updates about Discovery modification and servers that run our mod.
Discovery official forums at http://www.discoverygc.com will run just like before, no additional forums or interactive services related to this site will be launched.
Went on the server and it's pretty good, mind you there wasn't a lot happening on either the new Disco server or BK today for some reason, the most people on either server I saw today was 3 people....:mellow:
Anyway, did the 'ping' thing and here are the results;
ping 82.113.48.5

Ping statistics for 82.113.48.5:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 388ms, Maximum = 400ms, Average = 392ms
This is pretty good from where I am, it is still quite playable as I don't get into PvP situations if I can avoid it.
People in the US *should* have a better ping than this, *IF* they have a halfway decent connection.
Our official server, Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7, is now online and ready for playing!
New dedicated server was set up by Majk and will be located in Prague, Czech Republic. The user database from Discovery Freelancer 24/7 was already restored, all accounts remain intact. The server is running new Discovery version, 4.83 beta 2, which you can get from here.
The new server IP is 82.113.48.5; server name: Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7.
I would like to thank Majk for the new server. Hopefully it will last much longer than two temporary servers that we were testing in February.
More information about donations will be available in the nearest future. You can be sure that all previously donated money will be spent to cover server maitainance and upgrade costs, if not spent already for those purposes.
