Stats on the server!
ArenaZone is now using SoD Stats, a Sourcemod plugin to track points, playtime, rank, kills, and deaths of all players. The commands you can use to view it in-game are as follows:
Say "rank" to see your rank, points, kills, and deaths.
Say "top" or "top10" to see the top ten players, their K/D ratios, and their points.
Say "session" to see your session time (how long you've played without disconnecting), K/D ratio, kills, and deaths.
Say "statsme" to see your total points, your total playtime, your K/D ratio, your kills, and your deaths.
Each week's Player of the Week will be whoever is ranked the highest that week in the stats, so game on!

Random critical hits gone!
The people have spoken. Random critical hits and weapon damage spread have been removed from ArenaZone. Happy hunting!

Disable random critical hits?
Should ArenaZone disable random critical hits on the server? If the community wants criticals disabled, then that's what we'll do. Otherwise we'll stick with the default random crits. Post your opinion on the official poll thread on our forum.

New AZC Server IP
Due to ClutchKill, ArenaZone Classic's former host, going out of buisness, ArenaZone Classic will have a new server IP. Please tell your friends from the server of the change so they can add the new IP to their favorites. The server will be the same as it was before the IP change. I would have made an announcement about it earlier, but I was only informed of ClutchKill going out of business several days after the server had stopped working.
The new server's IP Address is 68.232.172.30:27015

FastDownloads and Forum
The webhost transfer went perfectly, and the site is running fine.
Instead of using the old Proboards forum, we can now move on to a PHP forum, which has no ads and is much nicer. I'll work on getting that up and running as soon as possible.
The new webhost allows us to enable fastdownloads, which is where maps players don't have (custom maps) are downloaded from the webhost and not the gameserver, making it MUCH faster. Much faster meaning you can download a full map in a matter of seconds.
This also makes custom sounds possible - not that we'll have them, but there is the option.
These changes go for both ArenaZone Classic and ArenaZone GoldWaterBowl, so we might make GoldWaterBowl be on a rotation of custom arena maps while Classic remains the same.

Hosting Changes
For a variety of reasons, including the desire for fastdownloads and a PHP forum, I am changing Arena-Zone.net's hosting from GoDaddy to HostGator. If all goes well, this change should be unnoticable. However, the more likely case is that the site will have some downtime over the next few days. I'll try to have this all figured out as soon as possible.

ArenaZone Goldwaterbowl will be, unless you guys have a strong opinion otherwise, something like Goldrush, Dustbowl, and Badwater with 24 slots.
Please, join the new server to get it going, and make sure to add it to your favorites and tell your friends!
