Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum, if not I apologize. Does anyone know if the fg-con.com Teamspeak server down? A couple of us are having issues connecting to it. Any guidance is greatly appreciated!! Thanks.

I've reached out to the owner to see if they can check. I can't get in either - with the servername nor the IP address.

Same here Trenloe - tried both also and I had one of my group members try too. OK - I guess it's good that it wasn't something I was doing - lol!

A support ticket has been opened with the Data Center where the server resides.

Hi Dax been a long day and I was busy all day so havent had a chance to update. The server was back up about 6 or 7 hours ago but was done for at least 5 hours.

Yeah, I'm having issues to darrenan. It looks like the server could be down I guess...

You know.. you can rent your own TS server for like 4 bucks a month.

Or, hey, you could wait a bit and I'm sure the freely provided community server will be up again soon. Save $48 per year. I know what I'd rather do...

I used it almost every day this week including last night (up to about 8 hours ago) but it is indeed down.
The data centre is being absolutely awful at responding to tickets.

I hate to say this but I think you might want to consider moving to Discord or another Teamspeak server.
As much as I would like the server to be reliable its not at this time.

Its paid up for another 6 months or so and I doubt I will renew.
I will review as it gets closer and based on feedback but...

Oh - I know - I had no issues this week using it. I was actually surprised it was down. Hopefully they'll bring it back up soon!!

Damned, have you checked out any alternative data centres for hosting this?

Not really.
At its peak there were many hundreds of regular users.
With the popularity of Discord there are far fewer users today.
The server does cost a reasonable sum each month in its current lousy DC and wont be any cheaper elsewhere.
I think it is probably getting pretty close to retirement time for the server.

Well that would stink. I like Teamspeak a bit better than Discord but I get the dollars and cents thing. It looks like the Server is still down even now unfortunately...

Yep... still down... sorry.

We used this for our game yesterday:

https://www.ts3.cloud/

It was very easy to set up and use, and the occasional ads were only mildly annoying. I'm sure there are other similar services.

Do you have any plan to put new serwer? ts.fg-con.com still down

I host my own server on my NAS (I have as ASUSTOR NAS). They are free for up to 32 users.

This has always been a side project hosted (and maintained) by damned personally from what I know.

I used to pay for a larger server for my Alliance when I was a big Eve Online player and I just checked. 150 user servers are about $22 a month.

Or you can apply for a non-profit licence and host up to 512 people for free (which is what I assumed that damned did).

damned - I can take care of server expenses for a year on a better server if you are willing to maintain it. I prefer Teamspeak to discord and this public server is a community resource. Contact me via pm if you want to discuss.

Trenloe and I have just finished deploying a new community Teamspeak server. All the old connection details remain valid however there are likely to be a few differences in permissions. See how you go. Holler if you have any major issues.
