HitmanFF 6 Posted January 3, 2005 To start off the new season in the European Combat League, the largest OFP gaming community for Euro OFP clans, we will attempt to break the record on the number of players concurrently on a server which currently stands at 108. The record breaking attempt will be made this Sunday January 9th, 2005 on the Platoon server, which has been graciously provided by The Platoon. We will start the attempt at 20:00 GMT and we will record and end the attemp 21:00 GMT at the latest. The Platoon server's address is 82.192.69.185:2302. No custom faces and/or sounds will be admitted, to minimise connection times as much as possible. Clan XML and/or logos will not be read either, for the same reason. Addons are not needed, only OFP:R 1.96. The European Combat League is one of the largest OFP communities geared towards quality league gaming for clans in and outside Europe. For more information check our web site. Be sure to log on and become part of the record breaking attempt this Sunday! The names of all players that attended will be recorded and published!

Phleep 0 Posted January 5, 2005 Just a timezone correction. Â New Zealand is in daylight time at present which is +13 hrs. Â This means that us NZers get a sleep in until 0900 nzdt. (Normally +12hrs) Cheers, Phil edit - this was posted at 2029 nzdt. For some reason to get the correct time on the forum I have to select +12hrs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HitmanFF 6 Posted January 9, 2005 Thanks all for joining! That was an amazing feat! We started 10 minutes early, and maxed out almost 15 minutes after we'd started. We broke the standing record with 146 players on the map and still in game after a minute; we still had a lot trying to get online, but the map was full I will post a screen shot and the list of players that were part of the record later tonight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hudson 0 Posted January 9, 2005 Here's at least 1 pic of proof it happened! Here is another, right before the game was launched showing 146 players in slots... And RedDevlin goes down in history as being the 1 guy to be kicked for not greening up, 145 started the mission Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gandalf the white 0 Posted January 9, 2005 I say you guys make a last man standing map, see what happens man... 100 attackers versus 50 defenders ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HitmanFF 6 Posted January 10, 2005 I suppose we have sufficient screen shots to prove the fact that we had 145 in game at start of the game (RedDeviln being kicked off as he had fallen asleep...)
