All of our servers are still won accessible. Is there a deadline we need to meet? Do we want to go ahead and take the leap or drag the servers out as long as possible on won?
I know it takes forever to connect to steam servers and I can pop in for a quicky on our servers.
I think it is inevitable but just wanted to check your views

What about switching one of the servers over to steam and keeping the other 2 as won for now.
It could be used as a "test" server. This way people that are still having problems with steam can play on one, people that don't have problems with steam can play on either.
And it being a "test" server we could put on all our fixes to it and other stuff. Then when we are forced over to steam we are ready for it and know what to expect :)

Great suggestion GB it is in the works
Not sure which one Holdouts will change over but don't be surprised if you can't get on one of our servers with your wonid:thumb:

If i'm correct, we won't have to worry about that because we just won't see that server threw won. We will only be able to see it in steam... or at least I think thats how it will work.

Thats strange and annoying. It should just not show them.
If you have favourites they might appear listed, purely because they are your favourites... however, this is to allow for a user to add servers in that haven't appeared in their list for some reason. Now, either way, I don't believe you will be able to access the servers without the right technology anyway.
As it is, I have both... and I will be keeping both until there are no more WON GRITS servers... or maybe until the end so that any of you left on there aren't on your own too much.

I managed to have it install fine...I would've waited but, it's just that there was constantly this little voice in the back of my head reminding me that I would have to change eventually, so I had to kill it...by switching over

I have both...but while I agree to connect to a different server while you are on steam is really quick...the initial access is slow when you are in the mood for a quick game
Err, sorry been busy, might be able to fit that in sometime around 2315
