Heya all,
Well, it's been a while of promising, but now it exists - the official
Freeserve AQ2 Teamplay server.
Yay! :)
...
... but there's a catch...
The machine the servers are on (quake2.freeserve.net) is really
suffering at the moment. Really suffering. So, in order to put this
server up, some other servers have come down at the times when they're
not actually used. Namely the Stupid Quake server and the second Duel
server. Not too much of a worry for many Action Quakers, but apologies
to the few that are inconvenienced! (traffic stats show that those two
servers have at most 1/2 people on during the down time).
So...
The AQ2 TP server is open on week days (Monday to Friday, inclusive)
between 21:00 and 09:00. It will be down at all other times until more
power is available (and it -really- will be down - I've just put the
cron jobs in to make that happen, and bring the Stupid Quake and Duel
Quake back up at 09:00).
Also, there is a very high chance that in the next week and a half the
TP server will go on trial as an Action Quake: Espionage server (the
fabled CTB). I have to read up the information and actually initiate
all this yet. It's going okay, but my time is a little short (as
always, but more so at the end of this week until the weekend).
The server location is :
quake2.freeserve.net:27995
The current map list is :
lighthouse
hostage2
cov092
cheyenne
soho
jungle1

It's not terribly good or inventive just yet. Give me some time to
think on it. Suggestions, as always, appreciated.
Right - comment away people and have fun! :)

PS - The webpages haven't been updated as yet, but I'll get on to those
asap (I'm still looking for an AQ2 webmaster... :) )
PPS - If the crontab doesn't work, please let me know! I'll probably
not notice for days (which, while good for the AQ-ers, I really need to
sort out! :) )
