Chill-Servers Steam Group Page

Sorry everyone, I know I said the servers would only be down for like a week…
I’ve been busy focusing on some other things over the last year and I feel bad for neglecting everything here within Chill-Servers. Over the last 8 months I landed a new full-time job, I finally escaped the house and moved across the country into my first apartment, and my father succumbed to Covid.
I feel like there have been a lot of good changes; however, I’ve been steeping in my own pain as well. I’ve been seeking professional help and I’ve spent a lot of time being introspective and meditating on everything. I feel like during that time I’ve been absent from the life I want to live.
I was gone for so long and I hated it. I felt like I had to constantly work on important tasks, and I couldn’t let myself rest and enjoy anything because it would be a waste of time and ever postpone the return of the servers and all the long awaited changes I want to surprise you with.
I apologize for being radio silent as well. I love the concept of dropping new and exciting things by surprise, but I should have been more transparent about the timeline.
I haven’t given up nor lost hope for this project. I’m going to try some new techniques and experiment with the infrastructure – it will be incredible, but it will take a little bit more time. Most of this feels like a personal challenge that I need to overcome, but I need to get better about asking for help. I’m planning on having a tiered release schedule for staff-only betas and public re-openings for the existing gmod servers and a special new one.
Before that, I’m upgrading a lot of the hardware and moving parts around between machines. The servers will be installed under a proper hypervisor as well.
I don’t have an exact timeline, but know that it will happen. In the meantime I’m going to try and spend more time here as I’ve realized this community is here more for me and each other than the servers.
