DocMach
After running GPZ for four years, a replacement was needed. The connection to the server become worse for most players, even for Europeans. Another rising problem was the old none-server hardware, which was running 24/7 for four years. After Zapper and Grimmwolf no longer could help me paying the running costs of GPZ, so I canceled it in Okotber 2010, even while people said, that they would support a European game server with some money. In January the server was ordered and went online on January 9th 2010.
