+
+### taserver v1.0.0 released
+
+6 months ago I posted here to announce that I was working on a project to host our own
+Tribes Ascend servers and make it possible to kick out the hackers.
+
+_I am happy to announce that [version 1.0.0 has now been released!](https://github.com/Griffon26/taserver/releases/tag/v1.0.0)_
+
+The main login server at ta.kfk4ever.com (18.197.240.229) is running this version in OOTB
+mode and will be up 24/7. Feel free to 
+[start running game servers in your own region](https://github.com/Griffon26/taserver#hosting-a-dedicated-server)
+and having them connect to this login server.
+
+I am hosting a European game server myself on an 
+[AWS T3 Medium instance](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/t3/),
+which seems to be powerful enough and costs around 69 USD per month. 
+
+In order to play on this server all you have to do is to [create a shortcut to TribesAscend.exe
+and modify its properties slightly](https://github.com/Griffon26/taserver#joining-games)
+I hope that next time a hacker is ruining your game on the official servers, you will give
+this server a go!
+
+I will continue to work on this project to implement more functionality and welcome your
+input on what you think is most important. You can find me on 
+[the taserver discord](https://discord.gg/8enekHQ)

+### Hosting our own Tribes Ascend servers to get rid of hackers
+
+
+For a while now players using hacks have been joining Tribes: Ascend games to ruin the fun for the rest of us. Because HiRez is not taking any action I've decided to come up with a solution myself.
+
+For the past few months I've been working on a reimplementation of the Tribes Ascend login server that would allow us to run Tribes Ascend servers on our own infrastructure, making it possible to kick (and ban) the unkickable cheaters.
+
+This reimplementation is not finished yet, but I wanted to at least let you know that it is coming. Take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apGxn0s9Mv0
+
+The most important issues that still need to be solved before I can start running a server for you guys are:
+* find a way to get team and match statistics from the game server (required for team chat & map changes)
+* hosting: what kind of hardware/connection is needed to run a full game server smoothly?
+
+Other than those blocking issues there are of course plenty of other things that need to be implemented before the server is fully functional.
+
+I invite anyone who wants to help out to contact me by mail, discord (Griffon26#8007) or steam, especially if you think you can help me with one of the above blocking issues (people with knowledge of hosting game servers or of UDK games). And come join the public discord channel https://discord.gg/8enekHQ
+
+Stay tuned!
