[edit] History

GameSurge was created in February 2004, as a result of the merger of GamesNET users and the ProGamePlayer Network, a network with common interests.[3] The merger, coincidentally, occurred during a time of legal disputes over the domain name gamesnet.net.

At present day, the user base of GameSurge is primarily North American, with a growing number of English-speaking gamers from Europe. The user base contains a large number of clans who participate in a wide variety of games. Among the more popular games on GameSurge are Counter-Strike, Counter-Strike: Source, Day of Defeat, and Call of Duty.

[edit] Services

GameSurge runs a feature-rich package of services known as srvx, which was written by GameSurge's development staff from scratch in C.

GameSurge provides four user-accessible services:

  • AuthServ, which provides authentication for other services on the network and allows users to use an account that allows them to maintain channel access. In the interests of providing a service directed toward gaming (and thus allowing users to easily switch clan/team/guild tags), GameSurge does not provide nick registration.
  • ChanServ, which provides facilities such as event logging and advanced user/ban management.
  • HelpServ bots, which manage support requests in certain channels via a FIFO queue.
    • HelpServ, in the #support channel, for general user support.
    • Other HelpServ bots in miscellaneous help channels throughout the network.
  • SpamServ, which provides spam protection services to channels on the network. This is a new service as of July, 2008.
  • HostServ, which provides free "titles" to users wishing to use cloaked hosts. See the GameSurge Titles page for details.
