GameSurge
GameSurge is an IRC network . The most common resident games are first person shooters (such as Counter-Strike , Counter-Strike: Source , Day of Defeat , Call of Duty, and Battlefield 2 ) as well as MMORPGs (such as World of Warcraft and Guild Wars ). Recently, it has also become a destination for browser game players .
GameSurge started out as GamesNET and ProGamePlayer Network (PGPN) when the rights to the GamesNET name were controversial. CoolHandLuke, the original founder, and the then current board of GamesNET were considered. Ultimately, the disputes were resolved with the establishment of GameSurge. GamesNET was reinstated as the CHLs network. GameSurge is one of the ten most visited IRC networks.
A modified version of the IRCU IRCD is used as the IRCD . The Development Manager Entrope is also represented in the development team of the IRCU.
history
GameSurge began as CharlottesWeb in November 1995, but changed its name to ClanNet in November 1996, and finally to GamesNET in February 1997 . However, the network came to be known as GameSurge when it merged with the ProGamePlayer Network in February 2004 due to legal disputes over the domain name gamesnet.net and due to common interests.
GameSurge (but still known as GamesNET) first came to prominence as the home of the North American Quakeworld Team-Fortress community. This also led to a higher number of players in the Team Fortress Classic game , which soon made it the standard network for Counter-Strike players. As Counter-Strike became more popular, GameSurge became more well known.
At the moment, most of the users are from North America, with the number of English-speaking players from Europe and especially Germany increasing steadily. The user numbers include a high number of clans that are active in various games.
Services
GameSurge maintains a collection of IRC services called srvx , which was developed by GameSurge's developers in the C programming language and is also used by other networks.
