GPZ

After playing for 6 years entirely on the US based server (apart from when KGJV hosted a server for a short time in Paris, France years ago), Grimmwolf, pkk and Zapper wanted to play on an European server again. So the idea to host GPZ was formed in late 2006.

Administrators

• Grimmwolf
• pkk (contractual responsibility)

System specifications

• AMD Sempron 3200+
• 512MB DDR RAM
• 80 GB HDD, 7.200 RPM
• 100 MBit NIC
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Web Edition

Location

The server is hosted by Worldstream.nl in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The host was chosen because of the fast connection to the AMS-IX, and even players from the states should be able to play on the server.
