EDIT:
Development stage: Alpha.
You may request VM status. Follow the instructions here. This is still alpha, expect delays after request. Some features may not work properly. Please report bugs!

--> New in-game perk Idea: Extend the AFK kick time for VMs. Plugin will give you more time before you're kicked from the server.

-- In Development --

We want to work on the community aspect to make sure regular players on the servers want to keep coming back, and also share feedback with us. We've made some progress with the steam group and on the forums. We want to encourage players to register and join the steam group without showering them with announcements, in-game ads and overpowered benefits in-game.

The Verified Member status will be completely free, no donation required or anything like that. You just need to register an account on the forums, join the steam group, and post once, preferably in a "Welcome" thread (TBCreated  ) You also need to verify your SteamID with us and we will associate your forum account with your gameme page. It gives us some good feedback and allows us to track your activity in the community.

VM status will give some non-gameplay benefits. On the forums, a special color/name tag. Being able to create your own albums and upload media (sound, screenshots, etc...), and being able to upload small files through our download section. Allowed to choose your own avatar either uploading on the site, or linking from another site. VM status will be the first step to take more responsibility in the community (admins, donators, etc...).

We haven't decided the in-game benefits the VM status will offer. It will not affect gameplay in any way (no extra HP, extra weapons, hats or models). We were thinking of a special chat tag, or color in-game(No reserved slots however). Also, some in-game ads will be disabled for you (add us to your favorites, stuff like that, not all of them, but a lot)

If you like this idea (or don't), we would really appreciate if you could give us some feedback on this. About forum and in-game benefits, etc...

I hope this system will promote a more active community and reward our best players 

A month already! Yes, our TF2 Payload server has been online for a month Since then, a lot has happened, both on the server and on the website. We've been working really hard to make sure we deliver an awesome Payload server. It seems we are doing something right, since we are getting more and more traffic and new regulars every day. Best of all, our GameTracker rank has been going up steadily, and we are a little bit proud to announce that we have breached the Top20 wall a few days ago.

We know this rank doesn't mean much. Servers rise and fall quickly. However, it tells us we might be able to expand sooner than expected. And that's very exciting! We want to provide additional servers with more game types and more maps. All our future servers will run the same GameMe stats, meaning you can compete in the rankings while playing other game types. Obviously, all the current and future modifications will be available cross-servers.

If you enjoy coming back on our server(s), please come say hi in our forums. We are always looking for feedback and ideas to improve both the server and the website. If you're interested in helping us grow, you can contact us at this email address.

As usual, stay tuned and keep pushing the cart!

We are happy to finally open the forums to everybody!

This website will be the home of our new gaming community. I'm assuming you landed here because you have been playing on our TF2 Payload server. We've started the server on July 7th, 2011 and we have been getting increasing traffic ever since. For this server, we want to offer gameplay as close to vanilla as possible. Yes, the respawn time may take forever while defending, but this allows the attacking team to push forward, and this is how Valve designed it. On the other hand, we made sure to include all the tools and features required to allow us to manage the server the way we want to.

To offer a good competitive atmosphere, we are also providing the best stats tracking software both in-game and out with GameMe. In-game, it provides in-depth statistical analysis of your shots and kills in real-time. You can also compare your score to all other players on the server through our webpage. You will also be ranked according to all the TF2 servers running GameMe.
 
This is a brand new server and community, and we are always looking for feedback and ideas to make it better. You may use our forums to share your suggestions. We are making a lot of invisible changes and adding major features often, so nothing is set in stone and we will try our best to make continuous improvements.

What are we planning next?
We will most likely add more TF2 servers. Attack/Defense? Rotation? CTF? A more competitive server (nocrits, etc...)? Or on the contrary, a fun custom maps server? There are a lot of possibilities. Please share your thoughts in the forums.

We are working hard to make HyperionGaming your favorite TF2 server and community.

Stay tuned for more updates and have fun!
