He did not. Not happy at all with the deception though...

It's been a while since the last real update, so here's what's new:

EU

• Replaced two of the cheap Geman servers (Fritz/Franz) with slightly more expensive ones from a different host with SSDs and better routing to Western-Europe. (Rhein/Wilhelm)
  
• Launched a very fast (i7 4790k, 32GB, SSD) French server with anti-DDoS optimized for games, running 14 gameservers (Bisou)
  
• Launched our very first self-owned server (dual six-core Xeon, 32GB, SSD). Hosted in the Netherlands.

NA

• Moved na.serveme.tf to a faster and dedicated server with more disk space and RAM because it kept running out.

AU

• Relaunched au.serveme.tf, thanks to this wonderful man.

Apart from all the good stuff, we're also saying goodbye to 3 of our long term EU server sponsors.

• Slate shut down his very popular servers last year.
  
• Team Colonslash will stop renting their dedicated server in March because "all our members just use serveme.tf anyway".
  
• The VanillaTV servers will shut down in March because SeriousCat is changing jobs.

Actual IP of the adapter, so -ip 192.168.88.220.

You're forwarding port 27015 from the external IP to the 192.168.88.220 IP of the VM. However, your TF2 server is not listening on that address.

Adding -ip or +ip 192.168.88.220 (I keep forgetting which) will make your TF2 server listen on the right address.

edit: Oh I'm so slow

Have you checked the server logfiles for TFTrue errors?

You can try, but QoS in freebie ISP routers is typically terrible. Also depending on your internet speed it might not even have hardware fast enough to do QoS at those speeds.

Also, if your ping is already high without people streaming/torrenting it's very unlikely QoS will fix that.

Get the 32Ohms and you won't need an amp.

You will have to order velour earpads though ;(

You could attend (get mercs), send the money to a last-minute 4th team, or refund (my least favourite option). Choice is yours Epsigays

Gratz on the launch, it looks and performs great

A little birdie told me Epsilon has reached their goal.

Donated £50, you better show up.

Also this:

Yes the perm ban is ridiculous, and no that complaint was bullshit. Make your own damn lobbies and never deal with lobby leaders you don't like again.

You complained about SOAP/MGE not working... when you didn't enable plugins.
You complained about SOAP not working... on a map for which there are no spawns.
You complained about a sourcemod command not working....which works just fine when I use it on the server you're on.

I just went on 3 random serveme.tf servers and ran "rcon sm_cvar tf_dropped_weapon_lifetime 0" without issues.

rcon sm_cvar tf_dropped_weapon_lifetime 0
autokick is disabled for Arie - serveme.tf
[SM] Changed cvar "tf_dropped_weapon_lifetime" to "0".
L 11/02/2015 - 00:41:45: [basecommands.smx] "Console<0><Console><Console>" changed cvar (cvar "tf_dropped_weapon_lifetime") (value "0")
[SM] ADMIN: Changed cvar "tf_dropped_weapon_lifetime" to "0".

Probably because I blocked you on Steam, I've unblocked you so, try to accept the trade offer again please. I'm not trying to scam you out of 10 ref, you're way more trouble than that's worth.

People publicly claiming I'm somehow scamming them are not welcome on my services.
