After More Then a Decade I Am Shutting Down My Teamspeak3 Server
More than 13 years ago I hosted a teamspeak3 server for a group of friends that I used to play Eve Online with. And although I myself had moved on from the group, I continued to host the server. My intention was to keep hosting it as long as people kept using it. They used it pretty much every day. I would drop in every now and then to make sure things still worked. It was an extremely out of date version of team speak that you had to ignore updates to the client in-order to keep accessing it. Years ago I had asked if they wanted me to update it, but told them it was possible that we could loose some data since it was so old. They had declined; stating that it was nice to keep it locked behind a particular version.
Today I logged in to check in on things. I found the server deserted, and a message pointing people to a new ts3 server. It looked like they had changed server sometime at the end of 2022. I checked out the new server, and sure enough, they where still there.
For me it's a little bitter sweet. Lots of great memories. Its great to see the same group of people getting together to play games, more than a decade later.
Just in-case anyone is still looking for the Void Teamspeak server and finds this blog post. The server used to be at knightzero.ws:9988 (72.14.184.125:9988) from 2010-09-10 to 2023-10-06. The new server is void.teamspeak3.com.
