VIP was unloaded from NU servers due to lag. We've been working on the back end to get everything running smoothly on the servers, but are unable to with the current website configuration. The box that the gameserver resides on is based in New Jersey, while the webhost is located in Florida, inevitably creating lag each time a player joins and the database is queried. This weekend we will be moving the sourcebans website and integrating it w/the gameserver database. This will cut the lag and bring back the extra goodies we all love.
