'The Roost' is no more.

[WasHighPingDuck]

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]

Damn!

Thanks for the awesome server man!!!

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

 

[kamikaze9]

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.

 

[Enigmatic Terror]

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

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.
And also there is a picture of my pings :*( ill miss the server
Yes i am aware that it is now gonna be a RA server, but still no more public CTF

 

[Boom]

It will be staying on my favorites list.

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]

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]

The Roost will be missed...

I just loved getting owned there...

 

[C¥BER PETE]

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]

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]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

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

 

[Rev.Whoopass]

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]

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]

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

Thanks roo!

 

[Pillsbury Flow Boy]

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
