After 5 years of Game Service Provision as a small independent company, Gamesmajor is to be taken over by Killer Creation Networks Ltd.
Killer Creation (KC) are one of the largest GSP’s in the UK and Gamesmajor has been sharing the same network since early 2007. An ISP in their own right, KC have become a driving force in Game Service Provision over the past few years and they continue to go from strength to strength. Killer Creation Services are built upon a first class gaming network and have support provided by a large, dedicated team. KC provide a safe and secure new home for all of Gamesmajor’s customers.
All current contracts for game and voice servers will be honoured for the duration and all current IP’s for game services will be retained. Behind the scenes however all customers will be moved to the very latest, and blisteringly quick, Dell Quad Core servers. A win-win situation for GM’s customers, new and old alike.
The same Control Panel system, Same superb network, Same IP’s, New machines and a powerful company with a bright future to back it all.So how will this move take place and how will the take-over affect you?
What will happen to my game server?
Outwardly, nothing at all will change and the process should be transparent to you the user. For each machine, the accounts, server configs, and user files will be transferred to the its replacement KC machine. The new server will be configured and at a designated date and time, the current machine will be powered off and the new machine will powered up taking over the same IP.
What will happen to my voice server?
All Teamspeak 2 TS IP’s will be changing. You will be notified of the new details prior to the replacement services being activated.
When will this happen?
This will take place in the next 5-10 days and you will be notified in advance of the date and approximate time your server will be transferred.
We here at Gamesmajor would like to take this opportunity to say a heart-felt Thank You to you all for your custom and patronage. Many of you have been with us for years, and to you especially, we bid a fond farewell. We would like to wish you all the best for the future and have a great time at Killer Creation. We just know that you will have a blast!
Kind Regards,
Gamesmajor Support
We have had a few years experience with renting game servers from Gamesmajor, sure we had a few ups and downs with the administration staff via the support channel, but in hindsight they weren’t really a bad game server host provider, they always tried there upmost best to help with any issues that were raised, the support that they gave was always fast, efficient and friendly, its funny that you always think that the grass will be greener on the other side, well we just had a few of our games moved over to Killer Creation after the sad departure of Gamesmajor, my first impressions of the administrators at Killer Creation so far isn’t that good to say the least, they seem to be deliberately unhelpful and extremely argumentative, we still have some time left on our game server contracts so for now we will have to ride the storm and sit it out, but it sure doesn’t feel like a business relationship that you would want to intentionally stay in for any period of time, so come renewal day i think that we will be saying astalavista to Killer Creation, would i recommend Killer Creation as a game server host provider?, at this moment it would be a definite unreasoning no, there are far cheaper and considerably more friendly hosts looking for your custom, maybe my opinion of Killer Creation will change to a lighter note over the future coming months, but at this present moment in time my final thought on this topic would be “bring back Gamesmajor!”
Ok, so here’s the latest news on the GM/KC dilemma.
Our game servers from Gamesmajor were meant to be moved over to Killer Creation and the remaining contract period with Gamesmajor would then be honored by Killer Creation, well after argument between me and Killer Creation over a file deletion they have now refused to run our previous GM servers on KC, the funny thing is that i only originally asked them to remove a obsolete and unnesscery file that for some unknown reason they had placed within one of our games, so now in a nutshell £300.72 of contract rental has been lost, yeah thats right, between Gamesmajor and Killer Creation they have ripped us off £300.72, it just goes to show what a pair of cowboy outfits we have been dealing with.
Now along with the above mentioned file deletion argument Killer Creation weren’t very happy about this blog post, they have asked me to remove and delete this post, anyways this blog post was Killer Creation’s second supposed reason to deny over previous Gamesmajor servers continuation.

Now it gets even worse, before the Gamesmajor moving to Killer Creation scenario we already had a server with Killer Creation, now this game server is still up and running, but yesterday one of the KC admins decided to edit our game files and delete and remove the clan members server administration levels and XP scores, oh my fucking god its like dealing with delinquent five year olds, they tried to hide there file tampering by changing the file extension of the log file and by editing out a large portion of the log, but the dumb KC admin tried to hide the tampering evidence by editing completely the wrong log (duh), so what are our plans for our game hosting server provider in the future? plain and simple, we shall buy and get our own dedicated game servers and then get them hosted at a data center colocation ourselves, I can’t be dealing with idiots like Gamesmajor and Killer Creation anymore, its like being back at school when dealing with these egoistic childish admins, I wouldn’t recommend my worst enemy to get anything hosted by Killer Creation, to say that Killer Creation suck would be a substantial understatement.
Well once again ive just noticed that one of the Killer Creation admins has been fucking around with our game files, under no circumstances should you rent a game server from these clowns, they have the mentality of 10 year olds, you can’t entrust your cfg’s and game files ect to them, you will spend hours writing cfg’s and getting your game just how you want it and then they maliciously sneak around behind your back sabotaging your hard work.
