We are currently looking for people willing to help out HLGaming with primarily content, news and coverage.

HLGaming was originally launched in 2000 (as part of edgenetwork even), but has had a history of problems with server moves and changes of ownership. While it has suffered in traffic as a result, we would still like to make it a great Half-Life and Half-Life releated resource. If you have the time to make your contribution, send an email to shawnh@edgenetwork.org.

At DoDNetwork I found this quote by Waldo about the upcomming server patch 1.0b

Early testing of Mugsy's 1.0B SERVER patch is an overall reduced ping for everyone. Basically it's cutting down on some unnecessary network traffic. So hang in there you Whos in Whoville.

This patch is still in testing and still has some bugs that need to be ironed out, but it shout be out reletvly soon.

The 1.0b patch is for servers ONLY the v1.1 client patch will not be released for some months yet
