FragBU: Friday February 27th, Saturday February 28th

Ok, for those people who stopped playing at FragBU due to the extremely laggy server, I've got good news for you. The server has been MOVED!

There's been quite a few changes and we've removed quite a bit of the custom content since no one was playing it. The major map packs are still there so downloading them is still recommended before joining.

We invite you to help us test out the new server while fragging with or against BU staff members and your fellow BuF'ers for two nights of fast and heart pumping matches spanning through DM, TDM, CTF, vCTF, and even WAR. If you've never been to a FragBU event before, don't worry, it's open to anyone who wants to join us for some good old fashioned friendly fragging.

Before you start, don't forget to check out the FragBU thread in the UT3 forums for download links to all of the custom content we use. Even though we've trimmed down the content, there are quite a few large map packs like the excellent and often played HOLP1 and HOLP2 that have many individual maps in them. All of the content is still available through the servers fast redirect, but it is recommended, as I said before, to download the files before you jump on the server if you want to jump in on the action right away.

To check on the status of the server without opening the game, you can either check the FragBU thread or log on to the official FragBU IRC channel at #fragbu on EnterTheGame where there's always plenty of people to help you out if you need any assistance getting on the server.

If you are patiently waiting on the server and it's currently empty don't fret, It may take a while but people will eventually join. Most players do not start joining until 10pm EST but people will join earlier if they see activity on the server. So just fire up the game and join up! If idling on the server isn't working and you do not want to wait any longer, bugging people in irc to join usually works!

We hope to see you there on the new server!
