--== 06.Apr.2003 ==--

SERVER STATUS

Our UT game server and our 1x1 server remain offline. The machine hosting both UT sites, as well as others, blew a power supply. ILAN is shipping it off for repairs and hopes to have it back up by mid-week.

Our Forum server (different machine) suffered a different fate. Unfortunately, it also took HzA's forum with it as well. A new forum has been launched. You may click the forum link on the side menu. It's a fresh server so you will need to re-register your tag.

Hopefully, the forum server will be restored and the current forum server will be only temporary. If not, we will run with the current one.

In the mean time, you may play on our substitute server at 208.152.76.155 or you may find us visiting other clans

--== 04.Apr.2003 ==--

Our forum is down and is currently being worked on. Please Stand By.

Also, several Zark Servers went down today, including ours. The problem is being researched.

In the mean time, you may play on our substitute server at 208.152.76.155

With the match tied at 2 to 2 we went into the fifth and final round in Forgotten City. It was an edge of your seat battle with ZM winning for a match victory.

--== 05.Sep.2002 ==--

A sad day at ZM. Today, Scott Walsh aka |ZM|Blade leaves the team for personal reasons. Here are his own words from his message:

Dear teammates, It is with great regret that I announce my resignation from Team|ZM|. This team has evolved into a tremendous battle force, one of which I have trouble competing with. I'm not a big run/gun guy and the talent that has been recruited(thanks to AWOL)haha, is top drawer. I don't have time to improve my game to that level. Personal commitments make playing and even web page hard to devote the attention to. Mike has a background in HTML and is very knowledgeable, Snake has technical smarts up the wazoo. I'm sure some one has the space the provider offers for a new improved homepage.

Anyways guys I can't name you all, I have apprectiated playing with you and thanks most of all to Al for all his time and assistance in improving my knowledge and playing ability. I'll be back as an unknown, pick the playing style and you may figure it out. Regretfully.

--== 27.Aug.2002 ==--

The SLRB Zark Assault Rifle is now on our server. Finally this weapon will be available to all who connect to ZM's server.

Also today, FORMAT_C: said he will keep recruiting players until the team reaches 25 players. The idea is to always have 10 members available to play in team matches.

--== 20.Aug.2002 ==--

FORMAT_C: announced that he will be doing house cleaning of the Yahoo forum. Every ZM member must send him their email address, and display their ZM nickname on the forum. The rest are out.

Also today, Snake said that his own server for the SLRB test will be closed. He has finished the members battle test of the SLRB, and it will be be put onto the ZM server soon.

Tomorrow at 6:30PM Pacific time, ZM will have a practice. The password will be sent to members via email.

--== 16.Aug.2002 ==--

--== 14.Aug.2002 ==--

A new mod is being run on the server. It is called Volatile Ammo, and it makes ammo explode when you shoot it. If anyone gets killed by the exploding ammo, the frag goes to you.

--== 12.Aug.2002 ==--

Snake is making a new weapon and asks all members to help with the test. The new weapon is called the SLRB Assault Rifle. It will still have the identical Zark specifications, but it will also contain Super Long Range Ballistic (SLRB) capability. This means it will be able to kill at any distance.

--== 08.Aug.2002 ==--

Due to issues of deteriorating conditions of the UUNET network, the ZM server is moving out of the WorldCom/UUNET datacenter and hooking up with InterNap in San Jose. InterNAP is a company that buys access from the top 9 ISPs in the country, and then does intelligent routing out onto the net. With this change  you will have near LAN ping and play.
