We’ve run a teamspeak server for (looks up, checks date) over four years now and we’ve decided to call it a day. It takes time and money to keep going, and it often sits empty. Of the three original Mudspike Founders, Erik was always keen on MP and it is something that @BeachAV8R and I don’t do a lot of.
The server itself is often used by small groups that don’t use or contribute to our forums, and there are lots of free alternatives around to fill this gap now. Social networks like https://discordapp.com/ are increasingly popular (and work really well), and people are welcome to set up and advertise their groups here if they wish. Alternatively, using Steam or the like can work well.
This is a heads up that the Mudspike TS server will shut down on Dec 31st 2018.
Thanks for your understanding that the effort and money on our part has to be balanced, and that Mudspike is just something we do for fun.
