Hey guys! You probably don't remember but this used to be a very popular gaming network for Garry's mod ; The Murder Gamemode.


It was around sometime in early 2014 to late 2014.

It's been a fricken long time! This server back then ended up blowing up and if I recall it was the #1 for a few months then. Lol I was like 14 I couldn't figure out how to setup the Message of the Day in html back then. How things are changed. Starting random threads asking for Lua developers.. lmao!


I think the birth of those servers stemmed from watching Seananners and his gang do prophunt back on Youtube. That was like the biggest thing at the time and I wanted to try my hand.

I think we eventually launched 6 servers in total. Prop hunt was already slightly saturated with player count, so the murder gamemode was the next best thing.

I turned 24 earlier this year and saw this Steam Group still existed. I hope everyone has an awesome Christmas.


Some food for thought

Man. Remember those days.. like 2009-2015.. and then the internet started to really pick up after 2016. I swear if you were gaming in 2014 it was the time to be. I think its obviously still popular now but true gaming might've been at a peak back then. When other people we're out doing who knows what, we were grinding on servers having the time of our lives.

Remember when clickbait was the new fad on Youtube? Now its mandatory lmao. When Prophunt was the biggest thing. Minecraft PvP.. all that stuff. Worrying on Skype or Steam if some guy was going to Wireshark your IP. and try to DDoS you. Lmao! You might not have been gaming hard enough if that didn't happen once or twice. These Discord people don't know how easy they have it!


Rust is a game that has grown in popularity in the recent years. Its made by the same creator (Garry) and its a top game on Youtube right now. Those rust movies go crazy! They are 2 completely different games obviously but the creator put his spirit in both of them. Facepunch studios is one of the studios from the by-gone era who still maintains their integrity. Similar to if Mojang never sold Minecraft in 2014. Smaller game studios making timeless games. We should appreciate that as Gamers seeing all the madness in 2024.


All in all, it's been 10 years. If your still here thats awesome. I never really stopped gaming. I was going into Highschool later that August of 2014 and the schools student count was like 5x what it was previously in middle school.. a bit overwhelming so I took a break from gaming for a few years. I've since picked it up after graduation more in 2018 and so far so good.

Another honorable mention

DarkRP and the RP's are still going strong I see. A quick shoutout to the Basewars gamemode. It was lesser known but still seen on the server browser. It was another awesome game-mode..less peaceful but still nonetheless a good time. Met some guys that same year I still talk to today. I hope you had similar experiences!


I hope everyone has a good Christmas. I've been looking into starting a new server but I'll need to investigate what gamemodes still have a solid playerbase.
