Thanks to all the patrons who have supported us over the past year! In February, Dark Gaming will celebrate its 13th anniversary, officially becoming a teenager.
Here's our history topic with videos from throughout our history: https://forum.dark-gaming.com/t/history-of-dark-gaming/7445
... 2025-01-21 11:50:40 +0000 UTC View PostSurvival is now officially on 1.4.4.9, with only the weekly world generation that supplies it with worlds needing to be updated to 1.4.4.9.
Our remaining dimensions to be updated to this version are now: Build and Gamemodes (but not Zombies/Duel)
I believe both of these are well on track to being finalised soon. Once this happens t...
2024-04-03 21:34:55 +0000 UTC View PostFirstly, thanks to all supporters, especially those that have managed to pledge multiple months.
The Europe server is running all our latest updates which are expected to be deployed on the US server at some point. Right now we are working on fixing any new issues before doing this but these updates are made in preparation for the next Terraria update which will r...
2024-02-21 18:18:46 +0000 UTC View PostHi Patrons!
Ahead of any announcements in the usual places, because nothing has changed quite yet, I wanted to give a quick update on what's happening behind the scenes.
You may have already noticed some of our dimensions (PvP, PvE, Zombies, Duels) have already been updated to 1.4.4.9, it's our plan that the entire server is updated before the nex...
2023-09-09 13:28:13 +0000 UTC View PostI attempt to be transparent about our costs as much as possible so supporters can see directly what the money is being used for and what services we actually use, and how much they cost.
Unlike the last cost update I will make this as short and clear as possible. Costs are in £ since that is what currency I use to pay.

2023-06-28 09:53:11 +0000 UTC View PostThis is a small update post on 1.4.4 progress. As you may or may not know, at this time, each Dimension on Dark Gaming is undergoing updates to the latest version of Terraria.
It is my hope that this can be fully completed before the next Terraria update, as the next Terraria update will undoubtedly add more complications.
It is my expectation that once our server has completely mov...
2023-06-21 21:13:48 +0000 UTC View PostIn order to better integrate with our services we've enabled Discourse (Forum) integration. By default this will automatically add users to the patron group who have the same email address on their forum account as their patreon account.

2023-05-19 14:11:13 +0000 UTC View PostFor those that are not aware, our servers aren't quite running the latest update. Here's a rough guide:
Rift / Items / Special Item/ Gamemodes
All running on a custom server implementation, for compatibility with other dimensions they target 1.4.1 but can easily be switched to 1.4.4 later
PvP / Build / Zombies ...

Patreon has supposedly added this new feature allowing users to pledge any time in the month and still get a full month instead of being charged again at the start of the next.
For current patreons, the billing cycle is still the same.

This is a fairly lengthy post. If you just want to know the cost, it's currently $54.23. Otherwise, this post will detail exactly where the costs are coming from and what the current risks are to the server shutting down.

2022-07-20 15:19:49 +0000 UTC View PostRather than the usual dimension of the month, this month I will open up the opportunity for any patrons to link a suggestion they want to be focused on. You can consider this a "Super Vote", in that a best effort will be made to properly consider the suggestion, and depending on the scope, implement it. If there's something that isn't currently suggested that you would rather super vote, you ca...

2022-03-01 07:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe Duel Mode in GameModes has been replaced by a newer version, which brings it up to speed with the updates we've made to the underlying framework for Zombies. This newer version had some issues that had to be addressed at the end of this month:
