Hey Guys,

Just to keep everyone updated, we would like to announce that we have officially begun testing Chicago servers and hopefully soon releasing a set of free servers to open up the testing to a broader audience.

As we promised before if the trial phase continues to show demand on our free servers, we will move to permanently support the region. We have high hopes in our Chicago provider being suitable for the quality requirements we seek.

To touch on some future figures as well, since we understand that Chicago seems to be the favoured location for the majority of players, our team has secured a partnership with a provider there to give us the capabilities in scaling to 60+ servers if needed; this assumes that we are satisfied with the quality during testing.

We look forward to working with many of you in delivering a high standard of service and expanding the available options for your scene.

Hey Guys,

I am looking for a couple of people to contact me via DMs that are interested in helping us test a couple of providers for a Chicago location. Again, just please contact me over Discord (Kodyn#0001) with your Discord ID and I'll add you to the list of people that have access to that location.

I previously have played CS:GO and that would have been a great meme. I'll be waiting for those banana skins in CS:GO! As for the Chicago location, we have found a provider we are interested in and can't wait to test them soon.

The expansion at the request of certain individuals in North America doesn't burden us with extra overhead @bearodactyl to those certain locations. Our setup with our current provider allows us to cover all those locations and because those areas are out of the way, they are placed on exclusive only locations to ensure they do not increase as I said before overheard costs. Again, at the moment we are sourcing more central location options that we are satisfied with before we proceed in placing them into the trial phase.

I embody the power of the banana, mind, body and soul. When I was participating in ozfortress Prem, some teams didn't even call me Kodyn, they just said "banana" on the flank.

At the request of individuals wanting us to expand our exclusive server location range to more unique areas. Effective immediately we have opened locations at Oregon, Los Angeles, Montreal, North Virginia and South Carolina under our current provider.

We are working on expanding our central locations by finding a provider for both Dallas and Chicago. Currently, these locations are undergoing testing before we are comfortable with releasing them into our trial batch.

Hey, @ire we are currently working on a solution for our exclusive servers to add top tier DDOS mitigation; however, it is relatively costly. In the meantime, we have been trialling a solution in Australia to hide the server session, so it can't be found.

Here is a quote that we delivered to our partners:

We reference this feature at the bottom of our support section here. So as long as players, producers and casters are offline before entering, it should keep server details hidden.

Hello North America,

We are a community and service provider that primarily focuses on delivering servers to the competitive scene. Our current locations have been supporting the AUS/NZ scene for the past five years and most recently expanding throughout Asia and partnering with FBTF to deliver a standardised server experience in South America.

Recently we have been working together with RGL on bringing our service to the North America scene. The locations we plan to deploy a trial phase to are Iowa, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City with the primary focus being on Iowa. This trial phase will include 6 free servers and 10 exclusive servers in Iowa and the other two locations having 4 exclusive servers each.

Contingent on the success of the trial (a clear indication of high demand on the free servers) we will transition to permanently supporting the region and increasing our server count.

In contrast to other booking solutions in the region, we primarily operate entirely through Discord, so you won't need to leave and go to a website to get your server. You can get a server by joining the Qixalite Discord here. After entering check out the #roles channel and sign-up to the TF2 role by reacting, then you can view the #tf2-booking channel.

If you would like further information regarding our booking system, please head over to our support documentation here.
