Stay gold

Hey guys, need to drop a bomb on you here.

I won't beat around the bush with this so I'll just lay it on you right away. Some time soon HigherNation will be shutting down (the group and all the servers). This may come as out of nowhere to some of you but this is something the owner has been thinking about for quite some time now. He first made HigherNation when Team Fortress 2 was in its prime and everyone was active, however over the years his interest (as well as most of the HigherNation staff's) in the game has diminished. There is currently no desire to expand or improve on the servers, so the logical choice would be to close it down.

It's been a good run, there have been a lot of fun times and we greatly appreciate all of you for playing on our servers and being part of our community.

Out of respect, please do not try to contact the owner or any of the managers about this. This isn't something to be negotiated and the servers have already been cancelled prior to this announcement. I'm not sure as to how long the servers will be up exactly, but I wouldn't expect them to be on past July.

Have a good one guys and thanks for sticking with us.

Come by achievement for a christmas celebration from now until 6pm EST! -

Despite what you may or may not be led to believe, the folks who run Highernation are not all-knowing, morally clean beings of pure cosmic energy Well, except for Klepto.

At Highernation, we intensively screen admin candidates in hopes of finding those who are willing to keep Highernation free of annoying hackers, scammers, and various other nefarious types.

But while they are few and far in-between, accidents and mistakes happen.

Admins cannot be everywhere at once. True, we have twice as many dedicated admins now as we did 1 year ago, but we are until science progresses ultimately human.

Sometimes, an admin may not get to a server in time to ban a hacker before they bail out and avoid an IP ban. Sometimes an admin may make a mistake in judging a player for their actions.

But that doesn't mean you have to suffer through it.

At Highernation we value all of our members, whether you come here to socialize, trade, slaughter noobs, etc etc. And as such you, our valued members, should not feel like you cannot voice your opinions, and concerns.

If you feel as if our servers could be better, if you want to bring fresh ideas to the table, or maybe you found a map glitch that no one else has, please contact one of our dedicated admins.

If you feel like an admin has wrongfully judged you, was unfair, or simply made a mistake: Please contact us. We have 4 dedicated "Managers" who are here to help. They are:

Gallant
Mystle
Glacalius
And myself

This PSA is not a response to any previous events; It has just come to my attention that many of our members are not aware of the existence of our Manager system.

Thank you for supporting Highernation!
