Title: It's Halloween in TF2!
Post by: Plasma on October 30, 2012, 05:15:56 PM: It's that time of year again, and Valve added a new scary Halloween boss to the roster, [big]Merasmus![/big] And to help you guys defeat this evil necromancer, we brutally killed the Votation server and then turned it into the [dot]HALLOWEEN EVENT[/dot] server from hell! This server will play all 4 Halloween maps on a rotation, with the new one with Merasmus every other map. You can learn more about the gift system, the boss itself and the "story" behind the event at the TF2 blog: http://www.teamfortress.com (http://www.teamfortress.com)

What if you want to play your old time favorite Payload maps and still enjoy the Halloween content? Well, the [big][dot]Payload server is there to serve its masters[/dot][/big]. The Payload server is unchanged, except the new Merasmus Halloween map is included in the map vote choices. See? We thought of everything!

Please post your suggestions and feedback in the Votation Server boards, and we hope you guys have a scary and hat-full Halloween!

Unfortunately, we do not have enough resources at the moment to run MvM. It requires as much power as a one full 32 slot server, and it brings down performance for all our TF2 and NS2 servers. We'll keep watching overall server performance, and we hope to bring MvM back soon.

Then, players decided they had enough loot and killed each other. A lot.

This was another fun Halloween event, thank you Valve.
I hope you guys got some nice loot (the zombie skins are really fun), because Votation is back! You'll find the Votation server with the normal Payload mapcycle and its 32 slots at its regular IP ;)

I hope you guys had fun on our Halloween Event server this year!

But thanks for putting up the Halloween server and rotating the maps and fulfilling all the little requests. I had fun!

Ah well ;p
