Discussion on this subject is fine (and actually kinda interesting), but anymore drama or name calling in this thread will result in at least a week long ban. We don't need the drama to be brought here. Just a friendly warning/reminder. I know this issue has got to have many people fuming, but that still isn't an excuse to break the rules here.

Well, you could know what actually happened or have false hope of a server coming back. Glad to help...

Sad to see VTZ go. :/

Oh dude that was like drama from a month or so ago. It was taken down now because the GMs couldn't police all the insta-camping and freezing player clients shennanigans that was going on. That and like two new dupe bugs were found and spammed all over the forums. People need to learn not to shit where they eat, because look what happens. Searyx, one of the lead GMs, said he wasn't going to let the server degenerate into a server full of hackers and exploiters.

It's still in hiatus as you said AFAIK, but there is no ETA on anything. :(

We'll see... :/

You guys can come PVP on Raid Addicts but be ready to get your asses handed to you if you do

Though most of the server is PVE , there are several PVP zones, and also a Priest of Discord so everyone can be PVP all the time if they want to be..

Casters pretty much rule the domain but I have seen several melee do exceptionally well.. Depends on your skill and your gear with this server.. If your under 100,000 hp well your a n00b...

See you guys soon

I love the constant server advertisements in almost every forum/topic.

Bane of Life has already fixed most (if not all) of the things VZTZ has failed to and has a stable financial (and emotional) backing. Greener pastures imo.

Bane of Life looks sweet and all, but it's not even released yet. wait a few months after release before making comparisons to vz/tz.

What I've seen in BoL alpha alone is millions of years ahead of what VZTZ was at it's peak of development.

It's not pure classic, but mostly classic. I had a pretty "classic or go home" mentality until getting into it with Yeorwned (BoL dev) a few times. Everything that's "custom" on BoL is necessary for one reason or another. I haven't been this excited about a game... let alone an emu... since the Vanguard flop.

BoL needs to hurry up and get off the ground then. Got a crew of players frothing at the mouth for some PvP action.

go outside and get some sun til bane of life comes out then

You know its unfortunate that emulator servers (especially pvp) have to go through the great extent of stopping cheaters/'hackers' even to the point of these people externally gaining access by other means (either getting into the box its running on or gaining access through this site).

My concern is that it is usually the same people on those pvp servers causing the same problems.. Pretty sad.. Seems this is more of a problem in the emu since we don't have any particular information (like official games have CC's tied to the accounts) we can reference to ban someone beyond an IP, but really what does that stop..

On a side note though should be very impressed with the success your project (by project I mean the work they did on the server) brought. Best of luck.
