Servers are going through upgrades/updating at this time, we are looking to restaff the servers and branch out as always.

Several of the servers are getting server optimization along with adding new content.

----Server Update/Optimizations-----

Bhop - has had a lot of work done to its database to allow for smoother transactions and game play. Due the large amount of time records (43,057) there has been a lot of lagging and stuttering during and after finishing runs. Due to this and how garrysmod controls its internal server database most of the records had to be deleted for future records. All Donators/Founder ranked players have kept there records intact. Any scores during the startup of Bhop kept there records. In Total 40,000 records where deleted. Any record from October 2023 and newer were kept.

Deathrun - will begin its updating and refreshing of scripts.

Tf2 servers - are curently up to date and need little work.
L4D2 servers - are also up to date and need little work.

DarkRp servers - are currently parked and waiting decision on what to do with.

---Staffing Update----
As always we are currently in dire need of new staff.
Most of the staff have retired or decided to leave gaming for life events.

Staffing spots we are currently looking for is. Moderators, Admins, Head Admins, Managers, Developers, Generalized Managers.


Moderators - are come and goes and please spots

Admins/Head Admins - are dedicated to IAG servers (this means that they are required to play a decent amount of time on IAG servers).

Managers/Developers are more dedicated to continuing operations of servers/design. (these are more strict and knowledge-based then other staffing)

---DDOS Attacks----

Our service providers have informed us that the last few months they have seen heavy DDoss Attacks at the Chicago/LA/Dallas sites. While the attacks don't seem to be causing any real issues for IAG services it is always a possibility that it will cause issues in future.

Lastly any issues or generalized information feel free to add me or comment under my account on steam. Discord is also a possibility however i tend to forget about discord for large periods of time.

We have been looking into other games lately to bring in new members and new servers, unforgettably there hasn't been many new games to host into the last few years.

Left 4 Dead II
Bringing two new servers with possibility for more

Survival -- 74.91.119.24:27015
Coop -- 74.91.119.74:27015

TF2

Two undecided servers/game modes.


Other
undecided at this time someone suggest a few options.

Bhop has undergone Maintenance today, updating plugins, fixing broken SQL databases, Trimmed down Records.

(Time Trials, Personal Best, I.A.G. Records) have exceeded 65,570 which was causing stability issues, Stuttering when someone completed maps, loading and receiving new records.

33,000 records have been cleared. Records that where cleared came from several criteria

• Date.
  
• Map.
  
• I.A.G. Members/V.I.P.
  
• Play style.

Any Records that where from before July of 2021,
Play Styles higher then Normal Rank,
How Many Records for each map

Have been cleared.

Any I.A.G. Members/V.I.P. Members Records have NOT been cleared.

Spork has been added to Staff Rank Admin

This will be one of many more updates to come out this year.

It's been a long hiatus since the last announcement, Server updates have started again.

DeathRUN - has overtaken some updates and fixes. Found a fix for that stutter or lag that showed up on maps like DR_Family_Guy and other maps. Spent a good chuck of time optimizing settings and server configs. Along with adding several new maps being able to reduce load times.

Bhop - got several small optimizations and improvements. Nothing to exciting mostly bug fixes and system updates.

10vMVM - is being updated and small time errors have been resolved.

Tower Defense - is complete and nothing new at this time.

DarkRP - has been updated... a lot of files have been removed from workshop so those where fun to fix..

Website has began restructuring again.

**Staff** Actively searching for staff and plan to massive hire again to fill ranks. Apply @ https://itsalivegaming.net/

Lastly we at its alive gaming are continuing to look for new Dev's and Server Managers. I have been interested in hiring a few more Server managers to produce more servers in just about any game that has players playing so hit me up if you got the skills for creating servers and running them.

As always looking forward to playing with everyone again.
