Gamers Net NZ to close

3rd July 2009

Well it's been a good run, through Skankyflat, Jetstream Gaming and finally Gamers.

It is with much sadness and regret that the Gamers Net NZ admin team is announcing the closure of the service. This is not due to us wishing to discontinue the service we are providing, but our primary sponsor Orcon pulling the plug on their support due to the current financial situation.

Firstly a big thank you to Orcon for supporting us for the last couple of years, we really have appreciated all they have done for us, and without their ongoing support, this venture is plainly just not viable for us to continue.

We had approached a number of parties to try and continue ongoing support for the service, but the current climate means very few companies are willing to invest. So we have been left with very little choice but to stop.

The effective date for closure is the 20th of July 2009. At this time we will be turning off all game servers, voice servers (both ventrilo and teamspeak). We will not be turning off the web serving initially. If you have a subdomain off gamers.net.nz the hosting service will remain active for a period of 1 month after the closure of the game servers.

If you have hosting for your own domain you can continue to have this with us, at the price of $10 a month, as we will be continuing to provide hosting (indeed it is our primary business), or if you wish to move to another hosting provider, we will allow 3 months to facilitate this move.

We will not be accepting any further server orders, and will be cancelling all subscriptions made via Paypal. If you have made a payment for your service after the 10th of July we will refund your payment. We will be removing all bills from the system, so no service will be discontinued before the 20th of July.

Should you have any questions or queries in relation to your game, voice or web hosting, please send an email to gameadmin@gamers.net.nz and we will endeavour to answer it as soon as possible.

We thank you for your support over the years. And we're really sad to go. See you on the other side.
