Greetings, Dungeon Crawlers, as I once again bring you important server information!
We have a new server hosted in South Korea at crawl.nemelex.cards, known officially as CNC. This server is owned by ASCIIPhilia, who has worked with us to make addition of a new server as painless as possible. This server uses a snapshot of the CPO user database from June 19th, 2024 as its starting user database, which means users already registered on CPO at that time won’t have to re-register on CNC. Please see the the drop-down instructions at the top of the CNC lobby for detailed instructions on dealing with any account conflicts. On the CNC lobby page you’ll also find a link to the CNC chat Discord as well info on an improved version of the famous multi-purpose WebTiles extension module that ASCIPhilia developed for CWZ. Many thanks for ASCIIPhilia for generously hosting our newest official server!
Speaking of CWZ, unfortunately it suffered an SSD failure and is offline until further notice. Although the CWZ owner and admin, hong, is trying to have the server’s data recovered, it’s not clear if or when that will be completed. In any case, many thanks to hong for hosting CWZ, which has supported the South Korean DCSS community for over nine years! If CWZ does ever make a triumphant return, we’ll be sure to let you know. Regardless of this, CNC will continue to exist as its own independent server.
Next, XTAHUA IS REJOICING because CXC has a new owner and admin that has migrated all data to a new host! Many thanks to melvinkitnick for providing the new server long-term and for working with Namanix, the previous owner and admin, to migrate the data. This transition should be seamless for CXC users, since the user database, morgues, ttyrecs, etc were all copied over from the old host. And of course, many thanks to Namanix for providing a host for CXC for almost 5 years!
Unfortunately, the CPO server may be going offline in October unless a new owner can come forward and provide a replacement server. The CPO owner and admin, chequers, is able to provide the current server as-is as well as transfer the hostname to a new admin who’s willing provide the funding and has the necessary technical expertise. See the CPO Lobby Page for further details. Many thanks to chequers for hosting CPO and supporting the Australian and Oceania DCSS community for 10 years!
Finally, a quick note that all games from CDI and CNC are now finally integrated into CAO Scoring. If you have games on any official server that aren’t showing up in the score pages, please let us know in #crawl-dev on Freenode or in the Roguelikes Discord. That’s all I have for now, so until next time, happy crawling!
