'The Roost' is no more.

WasHighPingDuck · Mar 15, 2001

Hi Rooster,
This is not good news, I just have to say THANK YOU!
It may have been the feathers but I always felt at home there.

Of course, most of the feathers lying arround were mine!
PuF rocks, don't be strangers eh!

Thx Roo.

I hated my first few experiences on the Roost. I wanted to play with PuFers, but I hated how everyone teletrained all over the place and everyone was a shock h0.

But those experiences taught me that I had to adapt and alter my CTF play style and sure enough I began to teletrain all over the place and then began to h0 that shock rifle a lot more.

Thanks for the good times, Roo!

Wow, the end of an era.

Many thanks to Rooster. The Roost will earn instant entry into the UT server hall of fame and will be sorely missed!

Blatant Bastich · Mar 15, 2001

Damn!

Thanks for the awesome server man!!!

I have some great memories of some awesome games there!!!!

kamikaze9 · Mar 15, 2001

Damn, that sucks... I haven't played it an awhile because my ping to it got kinda bad recently, but it was my first exposure to the really good players of UT, and I learned a lot on it.

R.I.P.

Before the killer packet loss, I had a blast playing on the roost. Sad to see it is no more

]Ui[duo · Mar 15, 2001

Rooster i have cleared out a little spot in the corner of my room.......... snif snif just for you /end snif

It has pictures that i printed of me playing on the roost.

Thanks r00

It was the ONLY public server I played on that I enjoyed MOST of the time. There really isn't any other server out there with the group of people, maps, pings (even though mine sucked most of the time) like the Roost.

The memories will live on...

HuFlungzeDung · Mar 15, 2001

Thank you, Rooster

I never played there very much, because it was always full of real sharp Lpb's.

But to anyone who would put up a server for others to have the benfit of, I give thanks.

Butress · Mar 15, 2001

The Roost will be missed...

I just loved getting owned there...

C¥BER PETE · Mar 16, 2001

Without a doubt The Roost will be missed. Always good quality players there.

Rooster what happened? How come you took it down?

My_Oozing_Eye|PuF · Mar 16, 2001

Rooster thanks for running a great server! I don't think I ever was higher than last place on my team when I played there...

I'll second Pete... what happened Roo? Why is the server coming down? Is it a work thing? (I think the server was run from his place of employment)

MOE

Rooster · Mar 17, 2001

Thanks for the kind words guys.

As for why - better to be safe than sorry. Read into that what you will.

Rev.Whoopass · Mar 17, 2001

Really sorry to hear it bro.I remember being a n00b,and "trying" to connect to the roost.Either it was full,or empty.When I did connect,I got whooped on so bad,I vowed to never go back there agin.

But,Rooster helped me along the way,and In no time he had me fraggin' with evryone else.Hope to see you around,anyway.

Wolf Blackstar · Mar 17, 2001

Well Roo, it's been great having the Roost around, and it will be missed sorely indeed.

As to what you said - based on those words, I've got a pretty good idea of why it's coming down. Sometimes we just have to make decisions like this. Best of luck to you, friend.

Rodzilla · Mar 18, 2001

Doh...despite my bad pings anywhere, the roost was fun, we'll all miss it

Thanks roo!

Pillsbury Flow Boy · Mar 19, 2001

aaahhhh man,

I've played on alot of servers before, and in heavy gunfights, PL like mad, no server, except Six Feet Under, gave me the pings, and nill PL that I saw there, and to say the least, for the few games I played, I realized there is hope for me after all

I will definetely miss it... maps where awesome... the play was awesome, and the competition was fierce but friendly...

Thanks for the games, and I'll check on them other servers, see what they give me for ping

'The Roost' is no more.
