Hey Everybody, Good News:

http://darkhousemedia.com/l4d2/

Since Nitro's server will be down for a while, DarkHouse has been awesome enough to buy our own official private server just for custom map fridays. Nitro has also been nice enough to help get it working with the same setup that his server had. This guarantees:

1. Little to no server-side lag (we've personally tested it ourselves to see how much insanity it can handle at a time).
2. Average to good pings for everyone (based on his or her connection), since its situated in Chicago, which should benefit both east coasters, west coasters, and Canadians alike.
3. Having the server up and running whenever we need it with all the maps we've done and plan on doing again, so we can just get on and play whichever map we want. We will also be using it for testing campaigns as well.
4. No silly server-side mods except for a very balanced version of survivor crawl which is useful for incapacitated survivors getting out of buggy places they shouldn't be, or that teammates should have access to.

If you have any more questions about the server, or wish to donate, just contact DarkHouse http://steamcommunity.com/id/darkhouse.
