As some of you probably know by now, NxN servers are now offline and the full code has been made public after one of the developers made his own server using stolen code.
https://noxiousnet.com/
For anyone who's played GMod before, you're likely to know who JetBoom is, and what NxN was. 12 years ago the zombie survival gamemode was birthed into existence, and since then it's continued to be one of the most popular gamemodes till this day, often reaching 60-70 players on a game that you could run on a calculator.
ZS helped shape GMod to what it is today, and the multiple other gamemodes JetBoom produced i've sunk countless hours into.
I imagine the thing most of you will be familiar with is Noxstation13. It's where I initially started playing, and without it, I would've never found SS13, and i'd never be here. HBL came to the server one day and invited me back to tg, and here I am 7-odd years later. Noxstation was a cesspit of low rules, powergaming, shitting assistants and woody simple mobs, but fuck was it fun.
There's a thread i'd recommend checking out for noxstation screenshots, some real nostalgia there.
https://forum.noxiousnet.com/topic/1073 ... creenshots

This is a pretty big blow for me personally, zombie survival is what made me purchase my first computer, and I remember being fucking tired all day as a teenager because i'd been up all night shooting zombies and eating brains. At some point, all communities/games die, and I guess 12 years is how long Nox had, which far exceeds what the original developer ever thought he'd manage to keep it going for. When a community dies, you're left with just memories, and it's fairly bittersweet, but holy hell do I have a lot of good memories of playing ZS. I hope at least some of you here do too.

:heart: RIP Nox 2018. :heart:

Noxstation was awful, yeah, this post is more about the fact that the 12 year running ZS gamemode basically bit the dust overnight. It was insanely popular, and was genuinely still super fun for me even years later. I'm sad.

My grief has blinded my posting abilities.

Rest in peace to the reason I have so many hours on Garry's Mod, also the reason I found Space Station 13 probably (my first experience with ss13 was on nox station), was fun seeing the gamemodes and the server itself evolve over the years. Makes me miss fucking around in Retro Teamplay and ZS back in 2011 when people actually played those gamemodes and Garry's Mod wasn't just an endless list of shitty RP servers.

Retro teamplay was sooooooo good. It was groundbreaking for the time it was out in. Hundreds of players fighting to destroy the enemy core, surrounded by layers of prison cell walls. Backstabbing people as an assassin and charging people as dragoon. So much fun.

Maybe that's because they didn't post three pages of weirdly redone nox related quotes anytime recently. HMMMMM.

Most, if not all of the players moved onto Sunrusted which is basically all but Noxious in name only. Thank fuck it didn't die the same death of NoxStation, now that was just demeaning.
