Happy Thanks Giving everyone. Hope you get to enjoy some quality food and time with your families.

First off, I’d like to say Happy Birthday Collective Gamer’s Community. Today marks the first anniversary since Sacrifist and I embarked with a small group of friends on our kickass journey to unite the gaming world and all the groups within it. One year to the day the CGC started out in obscurity. Looking back on the progress we’ve made since then I almost wonder how we managed to make it this far. The only answer is hard work, dedication and a fantastic member base. Without your support this would have never been possible. Thank you, our members, our loyal players, our server and forum regulars, and all of those who’ve contributed work to the servers.

With that said I’d like to announce the grand opening of the CGC’s newest server addition, Ground Zero. Ground Zero is a Team Fortress Classic server with more bells and whistles than you can shake a stick at. For more information see our TFC section for the blog http://blog.cgc-online.net/?page_id=6 or look for Ground Zero presented by the CGC in your TFC servers list while in STEAM.

I’m currently updating the FAQ’s for our TFC server and CSS server. If you see something that should be there that isn’t, post a comment and I’ll add it.

Just got through cleaning up and redoing Ground Zero ( formerly Ground Zero KiLL Machine TFC ). There’s a couple more things I’d like to finish up before opening the server up to the public, such as making a new cgc banner, getting statsme up and running, etc.

With that said, any regulars from the TFC servers when they were still KiLL Machine servers are more than welcome to come along. There’s definitely a place for all the server’s regulars here with the CGC. If you read this and get the chance to talk to anyone that plays on my Fast D/L No Speed Caps server, tell them about the switch over.

Listen up kiddies, I got some sweet news that is sure to bring some joy, thrills and chills to all of you. The CGC has 2 new servers coming soon. The first, a Team Fortress Classic server ( auspiciously named Ground Zero ) that myself, nana and m2 have worked on and modded to the max. Get no false impressions, when I say modded to the max I’m not joking at all. You are going to see things on this server that you’ve never seen in any other TFC server and most likely any other server. It’s been a year in the making and now it’s about to land at the CGC’s doorstep.

The second server is of the Counter Strike Source variety. This isn’t your normal server though. You’ll find that this is a human vs zombie based, team play oriented server ( Zombie Apocalyptica ). Some of you may have fond or not so fond memories of a ’similar’ mod for Counter Strike Source called Zombie Mod. This is not Zombie Mod. This is 100% in house scripted and includes features and changes that will put Zombie Mod to shame. I’ve taken special care to make sure the things you experience on Zombie Apocalyptica will give you chills, thrills and spills.

More news to come about these servers.
