Good morning. Fish Battle.net Operations Team. The fish server, which has been running for about 13 years, will shut down all services on October 1st. In the meantime, we supplemented the shortcomings of the official Battle.net There was a purpose to make more people enjoy StarCraft, 1. Matchmaking features are not supported since the release of the remaster version 2. Due to the server connection with Blizzard, we can not create specialized service of fish server in the future 3. It is impossible to develop independent ladder operation and other additional services due to this. I think there is no need for existence any more. In the situation where more new functions are available on the official server, the relatively inefficient fish server We think that it is adversely affecting StarCraft by distributing user pool of official server. In situations where there are not many users, such as matchmaking, it is difficult to ensure fairness and discrimination when the user pool is small Public rooms can also be difficult to play smoothly for similar reasons. Fish Server has become an official gateway to provide quality service I tried to be on par with other online game service providers. However, in terms of securing operating funds, the advertising business was not implemented as planned There is a limit to being able to operate only with the service of an elected management without paying for labor. As a server used by more than 100,000 users with cumulative daily connections It is true that we have also been burdened with the accumulation of unavoidable expenses such as the corresponding line expenses and server costs. We have kept our servers in a state where we do not have to pay for operating expenses, rather than revenue. In version 1.16, I received a few ads in the banner ad column at the top of the chat window on the server, It was an amount that was inadequate to cover the above-mentioned turnover and service costs. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that our operations have not earned any profits. Also, in contract with Blizzard, we have never received or received operating expenses. Even if we terminate the service, I hope that there is no rumor that "I only took financial gain and ran away". Regardless of the reason, there is no excuse for our failure to provide a smooth service. It is not fair to all users because there is no professional knowledge about server operation, And the fact that they could not concentrate on operating the server due to their personal life or work. I hope users will understand you even later. Our operations team also does not hesitate to terminate the service that has been maintained for a long time. But as a service that existed for the user and as a private server that was approved by the game manufacturer I hope to be remembered small by all users who love StarCraft. Our operations team also has StarCraft's new Blizzard remaster I would like to pray once again for the revival. We would like to thank all the users who have been using Fish Server. Fish Server Team Up Service shutdown schedule guide Service end date: October 1, 2013 23:59 * 1.16 clients and remaster clients can not connect to the server after the service has been terminated. * In case of homepage, service will be finished in mid-October. * According to the Personal Information Protection Act, all personal information recorded on the server, such as ID and personal information, will be destroyed at the end of homepage service. * Information such as access records necessary for cooperation with investigation agencies will be stored and destroyed for one month. | ||

I guess their practices weren't all ethical, even if they provided a good service? | ||

Should ask lemmata about. He has a list of the stuff that they've done including DDoS other servers like Brain etc... Having said that, having more autonomy, aka less reliance on Blizzard and a place to play 1.16.1 are huge lost benefits for the community. | ||

That and my laptop heating up so badly after barely any time has passed is another concern. If ICCup and SB went away, I would probably come quite close to quitting BW  I'm hoping that Blizzard actually works on these issues...I remembering reading the heating up thing was related to the FPS going up so high. You can go into options and enable the FPS cap, putting the slider to more reasonable levels. | ||

For SB, I had to play for a long long time to even get close to it happening. Either way, it's not even just that. SD graphics in RM is a huge concern for me because I love those graphics :/ | ||

I do wish Fish could have stayed, had match making and hosted their own map pool since Blizzard is doing about what I expected with the map pool. Rip Fish. | ||

DDoS was done by previous administration. This is all different peopple. YGOSU is crazy people. Don't listen. | ||

I recently made a smurf and yeah the experience was fun because you get fast games with no lag. On my main account which is at 2200MMR however, 90-95% of games are against Koreans and about half of those games lag so badly even on extra high that it's not fun to play. I'd rather wait 4 minutes for a game on iccup and have a lag free and fun game experience than this... | ||
