Greetings. For those of you who know me, "Hey!" For those who do not, let me quickly give a brief introduction and then get to the point of this post.
I am Dominus, member of the tribes community since March of 1999. I also run my own tribe known as Knights of Invictus.
More importantly, I am the Technical Manager of UTAI Gaming Development. UTAI - Universal Technologies Associates, Inc. is a new information/internet corporation based out of Fort Dodge, Iowa. I moved here 4 months ago after being offered this position by CEO, Dr. Kevin Friesth. For the last few months we've been working feverishly with a team of designers and engineers to develop a system that will enhance the overall interaction of all gaming communities. Such interaction includes leagues, forums, chat and many other features on fully clustered fail-over redundant servers for reliability and dependability 24/7.
Knowing the pain that many of you have been dealing with in recent weeks (I too deal with them as a tribes player and member of the community myself), we have decided now is the time to show face. We've been in the process of developing the UGN Tribes League. One that will consist of different ladders. We even have a larger surprise come T2, but I'll save that for a later date.
At the moment we are awaiting additional digital lines, which should be operational in a weeks time. However, do know that we're working nearly around the clock on this project and we hope to have things up and running VERY very soon.
A brief overview of some of the ladders that will be available in our league -
CTF Ladder - For all of you diehard CTF teams out there, we will be hosting a ladder specifically to your tastes. HO till your hearts content. More info on this ladder coming very soon.
C&H/D&D/F&R ladder consisting of CHALLENGING maps. For those of you tired of silly 3 minute HO conquering fiascoes. If you wanna win, you gotta earn the win. We will provide downloads for those who do not have the maps we'll be using for matches.
DeathMatch ladder - Self explanatory, but nonetheless will be a challenging ladder.
Now there are many Mod's out there. You know what they are. If you like them and think they should be included as a ladder, I want to hear from you. So those of you who played any modified versions of Tribes, please post your suggestion of a particular ladder and we will certainly take it under serious consideration.
As far as servers go we are looking for folks who will be willing to donate their server to be used as a match server. We WILL be hosting our own gaming servers soon, but for now we're asking any server admins who'd like to donate their server as usable for a match server to contact us with their server information.
I would also like to comment on a recent issue, by letting you know that all shoutcasters will be welcomed at our league. And it will be completely voluntary to have them around.
On our site, we'll be happy to host any newly designed maps (or map packs), scripts, HUDs, skins, etc. We would be very interested in seeing any newly designed maps for league play consideration. We will also offer site hosting for teams along with your own forum to use. We have designed these forums, they are not WebX or UBB. Fear not! Also, some of the features of the new forums will include the ability to send instant messages through chat programs such as ICQ, AIM and others. There will also be a private messaging box available for those who wish to receive messages from other forum members but do not wish to disclose their personal email addresses.
We'll be hosting forums for virtually every game ever created on any system/console. But important to you is, we will have a Tribes & Tribes 2 forum available for your use. We look forward to seeing all of you over there. We will be hosting our own IRC Server specifically for all the leagues that UGN will bring to the public. Information regarding connecting to our IRC server will be posted on our website in the near future. We are also in the process of developing our own gaming client. More information on that will be made public in the near future.
Finally, I'd also like to point out that when you sign up for the league, your screen name will be saved and entered for not only the league but also for your own UTAI email account and for forum uses. No one else can steal your name. We hope that you will enjoy this feature in our system.
There's much more I'd like to say, but alas, I must leave it at that for the moment. For now, if you could please post your comments, opinions & recommendations, we will listen to you and take everything under consideration.
Thank You,
Dom
