Hello North America,

We are a community and service provider that primarily focuses on delivering servers to the competitive scene. Our current locations have been supporting the AUS/NZ scene for the past five years and most recently expanding throughout Asia and partnering with FBTF to deliver a standardised server experience in South America.

Recently we have been working together with RGL on bringing our service to the North America scene. The locations we plan to deploy a trial phase to are Iowa, Las Vegas and Salt Lake City with the primary focus being on Iowa. This trial phase will include 6 free servers and 10 exclusive servers in Iowa and the other two locations having 4 exclusive servers each.

Contingent on the success of the trial (a clear indication of high demand on the free servers) we will transition to permanently supporting the region and increasing our server count.

In contrast to other booking solutions in the region, we primarily operate entirely through Discord, so you won’t need to leave and go to a website to get your server. You can get a server by joining the Qixalite Discord here. After entering check out the #roles channel and sign-up to the TF2 role by reacting, then you can view the #tf2-booking channel.

If you would like further information regarding our booking system, please head over to our support documentation here.

@vibeisveryo It is theoretically possible for us to implement user uploaded maps/configs that are private to each individuals session, but we will need a website to implement such a system (which we are currently working on already); however, we will look at the logistics on whether that is going to be a viable feature implementation in line with our other workload.

Hey Guys,

I am looking for a couple of people to contact me via DMs that are interested in helping us test a couple of providers for a Chicago location. Again, just please contact me over Discord (Kodyn#0001) with your Discord ID and I’ll add you to the list of people that have access to that location.

Hey Guys,

Just to keep everyone updated, we would like to announce that we have officially begun testing Chicago servers and hopefully soon releasing a set of free servers to open up the testing to a broader audience.

As we promised before if the trial phase continues to show demand on our free servers, we will move to permanently support the region. We have high hopes in our Chicago provider being suitable for the quality requirements we seek.

To touch on some future figures as well, since we understand that Chicago seems to be the favoured location for the majority of players, our team has secured a partnership with a provider there to give us the capabilities in scaling to 60+ servers if needed; this assumes that we are satisfied with the quality during testing.

We look forward to working with many of you in delivering a high standard of service and expanding the available options for your scene.

We have completed our expansion for the year in North America with our final location being Dallas. It supports 4 free servers and 4 exclusive servers, we look forward to refining our booking system in the region as we continue testing!

That wraps up our server expansion for North America this year with our new region in Dallas. Supporting 10 locations now for this trial with free servers located in Chicago, Iowa and Dallas, we look forward to working with everyone over the next couple of months in refining our current service and exploring new endeavours!

Locations:

• Chicago
• Iowa
• Dallas
• Las Vegas
• Los Angeles
• Montreal
• North Virginia
• Oregon
• Salt Lake City
• South Carolina

We hope everyone has a merry Christmas and stays safe as we head into the December period. Reach out to any of our staff if you need a helping hand or just to have a friendly conversation.

Kindest Regards,
Qixalite

Hey @vibeisveryo,

I have pushed an update that includes aliases to be more in line with the process that you are familiar with. Only one minor difference is instead of typing rcon exec rgl_hl_stopwatch you just type rcon rgl_hl_stopwatch, so it does end up being shorter and easier to remember anyway.

RGL Alias Examples:

• rcon rgl_6s_5cp_match_half1
• rcon rgl_6s_5cp_match_half2
• rcon rgl_6s_5cp_gc
• rcon rgl_6s_5cp_scrim
• rcon rgl_6s_koth
• rcon rgl_6s_koth_bo5
• rcon rgl_6s_koth_scrim
• rcon rgl_7s_koth
• rcon rgl_7s_koth_bo5
• rcon rgl_7s_5cp
• rcon rgl_7s_stopwatch
• rcon rgl_hl_koth
• rcon rgl_hl_koth_bo5
• rcon rgl_hl_5cp
• rcon rgl_hl_stopwatch

Kindest Regards,

Afternoon / Evening,

We are officially adding Chicago to our North America server trial; this comes with 4 free servers and 50 exclusive servers. These new servers are also using an experimental server image, so let us know if you have issues during this testing phase.

@Midnight-AG We do indeed have a Patreon system that gives you access to our exclusive pools of servers. Our booking system is capable of scaling the number of exclusive servers we have in most of our locations, so we are able to deliver a near-guaranteed server in most locations to our supporters.

If you have any feedback or requests, you can also contact us via our Ticket system on Discord or just DM the support team.

@vibeisveryo also to touch on the comp fixes plugin that all leagues globally support, we have integrated the specific comp fix cvars that RGL permits in matches inside of the RGL configs.

@vibeisveryo said in Qixalite North America Server Trial:

why do the rgl configs on your servers follow nonstandard rgl config names? just curious - not a huge deal, but idk if it’d interfere with the rgl comp fixes plugins and the updater and all that

since the standards are rgl_6s_5cp_match_half1 rgl_HL_koth_bo5 rgl_7s_stopwatch etc. but you seem to use rgl/6s_standard_h1 rgl/hl_koth_bo5 etc.

We manage multiple leagues all at once and the updater plugin isn’t installed on the servers to ensure that no other league setups are interfered with. The naming scheme we have set up is in line with the naming scheme we use for all other leagues to standardise our management for all configs that we support.

At the request of individuals wanting us to expand our exclusive server location range to more unique areas. Effective immediately we have opened locations at Oregon, Los Angeles, Montreal, North Virginia and South Carolina under our current provider.

We are working on expanding our central locations by finding a provider for both Dallas and Chicago. Currently, these locations are undergoing testing before we are comfortable with releasing them into our trial batch.
