The new combined entity, which will continue to operate under the games.on.net brand, is positively bristling with features and resources. Backed by two massive ISP’s, a dedicated team of full-time staff and a pool of some of Australia’s best writers and journalists, the new games.on.net is a force to be reckoned with on the Australian gaming scene and will continue to deliver the latest news, reviews and interviews direct to our customers.

With over 8TB of files, trailers, mods and patches, a 10,000 player capacity over a dozen unique titles and 300,000 players visiting our servers each month, we’re not ashamed to boast that we’ve got the goods. As well as combined resources and staff, the communities for the two sites will also be merged to create a single forum with over 100,000 hardcore gamers. All existing games servers will remain in place, and the quota-free arrangements for both iiNet and Internode customers will continue unchanged.

To celebrate this massive milestone in Australian gaming, a new games.on.net website will be rolled out in July, marking the tenth anniversary of the service that began as the Internode Games Network. We hope you’ll join us there for the launch of what will now, officially, be the best gaming site in Australia. Stay tuned.

Head over to the 3FL forms to discuss the big news!

After receiving our prototype Portal gun from Valve, we decided to test it out by opening a portal between iiNet and Internode’s servers.

Nothing has exploded yet, so it looks like iiNet and Internode customers can now enjoy a huge range of unmetered content without taking a hit to their monthly quota.

Internode folk can frag it up on hundreds of 3FL game servers, enjoy Freezone video content including Day[9] Daily casts, and download from ftp.iinet.net.au as quota-free traffic; while iiNet, Westnet and Netspace dudes and/or dudettes gain access to games.on.net’s extensive range of files, patches, demos, game servers, and the mighty mirror.internode.on.net repository.

More games, more videos and more downloads without destroying your monthly quota – that’s how we roll.

We’ve got big plans for iiNet and Internode gamers in the giant green pipeline, so stay tuned for more great news in the near future.

Two features that he mentions coming in Patch 1.5 are Powered Rails and when a Pig gets hit by lightning it will transform into a Zombie Pigman.

“We were aiming at releasing 1.5 this week, but no.”

“But next week!” – Notch (Posted Last Week)

As with previous patches to Minecraft, the 3FL Minecraft server may have to revert back to a vanilla state for a few days whilst the server mods are updated.
