Hey all,

I just wanted to inform you that everything is going well, we are making great progress on putting everything together. We do however have some slight delays! our original intentions were to release on the current machine but the power and storage is not enough for our systems coming in v6, which has resulted in the purchasing of a faster and large machine. This will take a week to prepare and build (Pictures will be posted) and once up and running we can start steam-training towards the release.

The new machine will be located in Chicago, and will be behind a strong Anti-DDOS protection. Offering the best stability and up time for our players. The American player base will enjoy the improvement to their connection but our connection is still very strong and will not effect people world-wide too much.

Also as this being September the Admin team have/will be soon going back to studies, which will take a lot of time away from pushing the release. As always though, we are doing our very best and preparing the best version of Noobstown yet!

Soon as the new machine is up and running we'll post another update, thanks for your patience and understanding you are all awesome!

Yay  etter connection

Great news! Keep up the hard work! And everyone else play some gta 5 until the release

Disappointing to have to wait further but it'll be worth it in the long run to have a better system the server is running on.

It'll also be useful for just furthering the tension of wanting to play, I'm sure everyone is already chaffing at the bit (Hehe, horse puns everyone?) to get onto the new version and start out with all their plans.

Just going to have to hunker down and wait like a vulture for the opening of the new version, everything that can be done to ensure any problems being smoothed out beforehand will just have to be accepted as necessary. ^^

Arnt you guys too young to play GTA V? anyway keep up the good work admins!

Does everyone live by Chicago these days?!

East Coast. ;7;

well at least the server will be more powerful and hopefully much less laggy... Especially for the US based players like myself. New Hampshire FTW!

Ohio here - Chicago is just about 4 hours drive for me.  To the south east side at least, then you hit traffic and it can be another two hours across town...  Thank goodness their fiber optic backbone is better than their highway system.  Maybe this will give me time to hunt down a copy of The Simpsons: Hit and Run, which is basically what GTA 5 could have been if it were based on The Simpsons, and released 10 years ago  

Updated build photos, they seem to be going faster than expected.

The new machine may as well be located at my house! If we need any emergency repairs call me with directions!

That X10SLM+-F is a tough little server mobo. Just make sure they don't plug the ssd or any other drives into the SATA 3.0 ports. We may know better, but since I work in IT, I can tell you that we should never trust 100% the actions of another IT person remotely.

What kind of pipeline is this machine being hooked to? My 50d/5u here in Texas should have a wonderful time connecting to this rig in Chicago, but I am curious to their network and how much they are allocating to the server.

* UnlikelyPirate excited!

1000d/1000u

Well that's bad news for me i cant connect to any server outside the uk my internet just cant do it. That was one reason your i loved noobs town so much the UK based server :-(
