HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO WIN V!P + ADMIN ON EVOLUTION WARFARE SERVERS.
It is the holiday season and it’s time to be cheerful.
A few years ago, Evolution Warfare was founded by me and Gilly. We had no idea it would blossom and forward into 2020 and it appeared all but certain that it would have ended in our infancy, but after a couple staff transitions, your support and the countless hours of dedicated staff here we stand, titans of a COD4 promod server and gaming community. All these years later, our meticulous members continue to curate, discuss, and passionately value everything that we try to provide. You, the community, alongside a myriad of passionate members have established a team and family that we didn’t know would exist in these years to come...
So lets get down into business.
ANYONE can compete in this promotion. From any noob/gamer/user in our servers, as well as clan members[ Level 60 admin and below who wants to rank up]. Level 80 admins and above would not receive an admin upgrade but we will have something special in mind.
HOW TO WIN: Whoever posts the best christmas tree or ham/turkey with a note next to it with their name and a greeting from EvoluTion Warfare. Your note has to be hand written and taken with your christmas tree or your ham/turkey.
Eg something like ” Merry Christmas - Evolution [ClanName]"
Or ” Merry Christmas to Evolution Warfare community- From [Name]”
POST YOUR ENTRIES HERE:
TWO lucky Winners would be announced on Christmas Day.
One winner: Guest/Gamer.
Second winner: Clan member.
Good luck to all.
Moving into 2021, xlrstats would be reset on January 1st 2021 in all servers.
Happy gaming to all and seasons greetings to all.
My fellow comrades and soldiers.
We are more than pleased to announce we have just ended the no profanity rule here on EvoluTion Warfare. This decision has been made by myself and chuck.
Yes it is true, we just realized it is the 21st century and we need to move ahead with the times.
However, we will NOT tolerate profanity towards another member, being disrespectful and any aggressive behavior in any way. We encourage to keep the chill and provide a gaming experience that is enjoyable to all.
So can you say FUCK YEA, been waiting for this? Yes you can.
But can you be toxic to players and disrespectful? No, you cannot and admins have the authority and privilege to kick you immediately based on their discretion.
Please don't go crazy and start using profanity on the server and everywhere else. We still want to believe we have common decency and respect within our community.
It will take a bit to update all the rules, but as of this minute you will no longer be warned or kicked for profanity unless it is aimed at someone.
Happy gaming to all.
Stay tuned for more changes and updates.
It is the holiday season and its time to be cheerful.

Its Christmas eve and why not start opening presents early? We are happy to have each and everyone of you as part of our community and in return, we are gifting all active members a bump in admin. If you haven't received an upgrade, just message either me or gilly because sometimes Santa has a long list. Previous members who were level 80 are now masked and hidden server admins as level 100 admin is for sys-ops only.
There is one extra gift that is available for grabs that would be given to the person who posts the best Christmas tree or ham/turkey with a note next to it with their name and a greeting from EvoluTion Warfare. Your note has to be hand written and taken with your christmas tree or your ham/turkey.
Eg "Merry Christmas - Evolution [Name]"
Moving into 2020, xlrstats would be reset on January 1st 2020 in all servers.
Happy gaming to all and MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL FROM EVOLUTION WARFARE.
Guys, I would be away for a while within the United States for a job I have and then to Europe for a small vacation, so I won’t have pc access for about 3 weeks. In the interim, please extend your usual support and cooperation to @Gilly for questions, problems, staffing, recruitment, issues, and everything else!
Before school re opens, or as summer is ending, we would be hosting a tournament, more information would be posted by @Aditya aka EvoluTion Legacy
Finally, please give a warm welcome to our newest members to our small family: @iSinpai, @Phineas, @Zipertee and @Deuces is promoted to elite members of our team. @SNIPERWOLF and @St4nn is promoted to casual members as well.
Please guide them on how to use the elite and member clan tag in the servers.
Elite clan tag: KD ratio > 1.25, use evolution ‘ tag
Casual gamer tag: KD ratio < 1.25 , use EvoluTion tag
EvoluTion [MIAMI] Scrim Server is ONLINE for private scrims, tournaments and pugs between teams on
Server IP: 207.246.78.120:28965
Note that this server is running on pml220_ne with Promod mode match_mr10 enabled, which means 5v5 teams with 10 total rounds., a limit of one sniper per team, and other classes. Also FPS, Fullbright, UAV or Enemy Compass, FOV is disabled by default. In addition, friendly fire is ENABLED making it a fully competitive mod.
B3 is also installed on this server, which means there’s no need for RCON as clients with given permission can change the map using the bot. B3 is installed on a separate database apart from all EvoluTion Public Servers, meaning, admins on this scrim server are not necessarily admins on the public servers and vice versa.
Finally, the server will require a password for teams to join which would be shared in the clan members private section of the forum and discord and would be changed periodically. This password is to only be shared to teams who will be entering the scrim/pug.
/connect 207.246.78.120:28965;password *********
Where ******** is the password that would be given to teams (Check private members section for password)
I am posting this farewell message on behalf of Zaya and Wolfy. Both were long time senior and high staff whom sadly has retired from Evolution warfare for their own and personal reasons and will be no longer be able to staff this community. I have an enormous amount of respect for both as I'm sure all of you do; so while their dedication and expertise will be sadly missed, I on behalf of the evolution staff team hope and trust they would excel in his their non-evolution gaming career and life as they have done here. Please join me in thanking them for their hard work and service. Sadly, some things come to an end, and they're going to be parting ways with us. We still expect to see them around the forums and discord though so give hats off to them on their presence.
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
Now moving on to a few things:
We are thinking about splitting the clan members into two groups. The first one would be casual gamers/members/admins who just want to hang out and play and have a good time. These would be members wearing the EvoluTion clan tag. The second group - prestige and elite clan members who would wear the evolution ‘clan tag. (Requirements would be strictly 1.25KD and higher ratio for this group). We establish that there are applicants who want to apply for membership/server admin but don’t meet the requirement, In retrospect, we need more admins to patrol the servers. There is more traffic coming towards the servers and its getting more popular, therefore we need more admins. Our community is small only a few are accepted as member/admin. Take a glimpse of how many denied applicants there are. These are always subject to change based on your feedback so I need to know.
Staffing is hard work. Every staff member on this community we ask for volunteers at least a few mins a day to help clear screenshots. While unpaid, Gilly and I pay out of own pockets renting the servers/paying for the website and try our best to keep things functional and running, it is in essence a second job. We do it for you guys our incredible and it's worth every single second.
Tonight I wanted to let you guys know that there will now be some few important requirements to be part of this community.
Firstly, you guys need to help clear screenshots whenever you can. Very few has access to delete screenshots from https://evolutionwarfare.com/screenshots/ So if you want to help out, it would be greatly appreciated on behalf of this community and you will be rewarded. If you want access, msg me or Gilly and we would get you setup.
Secondly, be active on discord and on the website and help out in whatever possible way you can, help us keep the forums alive. Example all members need to comment on the member applications and vote. I’m not asking for you to be 24/7 active on the website and on discord, I’m just asking for you guys to help out whenever you can.
Lastly, you guys need to wear your clan tag in the servers. Today I connected on a hidden alias and only noticed @Aditya (Known as President) amongst other admins wearing his clan tag. Members who are are not wearing their clan tags in the server, sooner or later their admin would be removed/lowered.
For the new and for the old members, if you want to rank up you need to earn it not sit and watch the sky wondering when your admin would be upgraded. Being only active on the server alone will take you probably 100x times longer to rank up. Take notes from one of the most outstanding members atm @taraj he came from 0 to where his at now, for his incredible actions, help and generosity for this clan. @Adityahas also mostly stayed out of the spot light. Please congratulate both members taraj and President on their promotions today.
Wrapping this up, we were recently encountering a few issues with our b3 and it seems to be sorted out now. In addition, admins will now be able to ban and permban via their phone with some new software the community has now in place. Yea you heard that right, you don’t need to be in game to ban or kick someone. You can do it via your phone. Message me if you want to get setup. There are more updates to be coming soon (promotions, server updates and tournaments) and good things coming!
Thank you for you help and support and you guys/girl (Bio xD) make this community what it is, and we love you all! Stay tuned for more exciting updates.
Thanks to all EvoluTion Warfare Members who participated.
Also Congratulations on @evolution 'BuZZkiLL and @#Evo Loaded for making it to the finals and to @evolution 'BuZZkiLL for taking the trophy. Hats off to you on this tournament. As with the stipulations on 2019 Easter tournament at https://evolutionwarfare.com/topic/297-easter-admin-promotion/
Since only level 60 admins and under were allowed to participate but we had to make an exception for 2 level 80’s and above to complete groups for Semi Finals and Finals, @evolution 'BuZZkiLL has settled to offer his admin promotion to @evolution 'taraj
Evolution staff would come to 3 conclusions and decide to reward all three contestants:
1- @evolution 'BuZZkiLL would be bumped a clan rank as decided by staff for his 1st place trophy and his generosity in offering his admin to taraj as well. A true warfare virtue, no brothers left behind.
2- @evolution 'taraj admin would be upgraded as offered by @evolution 'BuZZkiLL
3- @#Evo Loaded is now promoted to member and admin rank upgraded for his 2nd place award for the Easter Tournament.
Congratulations to all participants!
And again, good job on @evolution 'BuZZkiLL for placing 1st place.
Clan members who leave the community will be stripped of their power and will need to work their way up again if they decide to re-join in the future.
Furthermore, if you return or re-apply in the future, you MAY be given back some powers depending on staff discretion and will have to rely solely on ALL CLAN MEMBERS decision and opinion before you may be promoted.
“The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.”
If restart as you mean previous admins start over from level 20 then no. Whatever level server admins were on prior servers , their admin would he set to the same on the Miami server.
As many of you noticed, we had some instability lately (Trinidad Servers, Website downtime and Canadian server, database problems etc.) and I'd like to take this opportunity to explain our situation and how we're going to move forward.
As the elephant is out in the open now, the Trinidad servers have been down since the start of 2019. Yes I heard your questions everyday “What happened to the Trinidad servers??? Why are they down???”
I didn’t really give a clear update because I was worried to say that the Trinidad Servers may take a VERY long time to fix or if not ever. So in a nutshell, there was an electrical power issue due to a power outage and as a result, some hardware damage occurred to the machine which hosted the Trinidad Servers. Best as we try, things don't always work out how we hope. Will the servers be back? Unfortunately, not right now, not anytime soon. It can be fixed, fear not but after a long time contemplating, the word evolution has many stages, and as time changes we must adapt to changes. Luckily, we have planned ahead and had a few tricks up our sleeve. But wait, it gets better from here.
How are we going to move forward? We officially deployed a MIAMI server and we need your help to fuel and get it running. Change is scary and I find great comfort in having support from @Gilly and watching over and over in different occasions in how he waved his magic wand in improving EvoluTion Warfare. Again I've been inspired on how much he was there to support and did so many truly miraculous things helping me throughout my struggles. Everyone of you know, @Gilly has been around since the birth of this gaming community and I’m grateful to have him as a Founder+Leader. So please give him a thanks for all his hard work in helping me getting this Miami server up and running.
In addition, to help the rest of the staffing and development team take over some duties, we have promoted evolution ‘teN to Head Admin. Most of you should know by now @Suspect has been around for a very long time, and we're excited to have him as part of our high staff.
Today, we would officially be saying GOODBYE to our Trinidad Servers and a WELCOME to our
NEW MIAMI PROMOD SERVER AT:
connect 207.246.78.120:28960
We have grown significantly in the past year and will continue to grow even more.There are a few things still missing, but we'll be working on them and everything should be back to normal soon. In the meantime, WE AWAIT YOU ON THE BATTLEFIELD
Running a community like this is a monumental task, and we couldn't do it without the extraordinary efforts of our Staff and members like you. Thank you always for your patience and your support!
We here at Evolution Warfare would like to wish all of you and your families a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. We hope Santa brought you all amazing gifts. For those of you who don't celebrate Christmas we hope this holiday season has brought you joy and fond memories with your family!
What gifts did you receive this Christmas? Take pictures of your gifts and share them we'd love to see what was left under your Christmas tree. Also, a few lucky persons who post in this thread with the best picture (with their name next to their gift) will receive a special admin upgrade from Evolution Warfare.
I want to thank all the Staff, Members and the people who work in the shadow and behind the scenes to make this clan run like a well oiled machine. I want to thank all of Evolution Members who are making the community what it is, everything the Staff does they do for you and thank everyone who helped the site and other users to make it what it is today.
Thanks again for your support, in tough times and difficult ones for always staying strong, as we wouldn't exist without you!
1) Hitmarkers are tags are now fixed. Any damage from any sniper is INSTANT kill from now. Doesn't matter if its ur leg, shoes, hand or even your balls.
2) Private login using !auth <password> is NOT required anymore. Hidden commands can be accessed by using "." prefix, eg .ad or .ss or .xlrstats etc. This applies to all players from level 0 - 100.
3) Database is reset so admins have to be set again. (For your admin, consult with @AAAAAkAAAAA or @Wolfyy or @KinqqZaya so they can put you in your respective groups as they decide fit.
4)STATS ARE RESET. Yea thats right, you have a fresh start and a change again to apply if you can get your stats to our requirement and a KD ratio of > 1.25
Enjoy. More updates to come in the future when I have time.
As you all may have been noticing updates on discord, beta testing of in game plugins to work with our discord channel is now completed and enabled. New features include:
In game !report feature
B3 bans are now logged on our discord server for records.
1) Let's talk about this report plugin.
This is available for Trusted Players (V!P) to report hackers or rulebreakers when an admin is absent in game.For more information how to use the plugin, just type !help report in game, which would give you a brief explanation on how to use the command.
How does it work?
When the !report command is used in game, it sends a live message to our discord group so that server admins can be notified. An example of the in game command is demonstrated as follows:
Which would then send the notification immediately on discord:
2) Furthermore, the second server plugin installed logs B3 bans on our discord channel .
This is to log and keep track of all bans done by server admins as well as to prevent admin abuse. Keep in mind that anytime a ban is done, all of us would be notified on discord channel. Head admins and above and required to ensure all admins specify a valid reason for bans and ensure it is being done by its respective rule, eg if someone is being racist, don't just do!kick user rasist, please do it by the following respective rule,!k user rule10. B3 automatically states the reasons. A list of all the server rules can be found here:
!vote nextmap <map name> - will change the next map in rotation to <map name>
!vote kick <player> - kick <player> from server (admins cannot be kicked by vote)
!vote maprestart - clear all scores and reset time on map
!vote maprotate - cycle to next map on rotation
!vote killcam <on/off> - turn killcam on or off (can also use 1 or 0)
!vote timelimit <number> - change length of time until map ends to <number>
!vote scorelimit <number> - Change score needed for victory to <number>
!vote roundlength <number> - Change length of rounds to <number> in ctf and sd modes
!vote roundlimit <number> - change amount of rounds game will go on for in ctf and sd modes to <number>
!vote maps - Show the maps that can be voted on.
!cancel- Cancels current vote.
Permissions for the plugin:
map: reg
nextmap: mod
kick: reg
maprotate: reg
maprestart: reg
Trini Wolves old teamspeak server would no longer be online.
Our new teamspeak server IP is now migrated at:
ts3.TriniWolves.tk:9990
For the second time, the server got affected by a nasty ransomeware that did some pretty bad damage this time. I can't figure out where this malware is coming from, but coincidentally, this keeps happening right after I upload new maps to deathrun and zombies server.
Right now, I managed to restart all servers with b3 back up and functional. @AAAAAkAAAAAhelped me to remove the malware again, however it left some residue files were not sure and won't be surprised if it manages to corrupt the server a third time.
The only reason the servers are still online right now is because I'm in the process of trying to recover files and setting up some firewall / extra layer of securities that could prevent this from repeating. I was trying to avoid a fresh OS reinstall because this host servers more purposes other than hosting COD.
But as of this date, I may have to accept that some data are gone and can't be recovered.Right now, like everyone else, we all have lives and with my job and school entering another dimension of madness, I won't have much free time for a few weeks so I'll have to leave the servers as is. Good news is, the mods and b3 is backed up and ready.
So in the meantime, have fun and enjoy. And thank @AAAAAkAAAAA wherever you see him for his time and effort for helping me getting everything back online for the first time it happened and providing the knowledge so I can resurrect TW gaming servers a second time from what I learnt as well as for our new teamspeak server.
As some have realised, ALL gaming servers including our teamspeak is DOWN.
What happened?
When I saw a post today on the shoutbox if the TS is down, I logged in into the server where everything is hosted and noticed ALL FILES AND FOLDERS had an unknown extension and filename. Everything was encrypted. See photo attached.
Each directory had a notepad file with the following text:
The file is encrypted with the RSA-2048 algorithm, only we can decrypt the file. ==================================================================================================== 777@8chan.co ==================================================================================================== Your files are encrypted! Your personal identifier: 6A0200000000000049DF5ED915928911C34008035BE217F4DFD8ED65E28C7316202D36774DB74DAF6F6EB95929B2563556E7 E22F67D93E85C0C62BE477C82AAEA347114AB7E63B685A57D3FACDD2324C3631D17597C73576568E646A3CFA52397B0CF7B5 D5716271B9E36EDEFD9F2DC3E7A2FA2840DA1374A9B9F599F30BEF34D3667617151C5CB9AEF1BCB8AB486E170F667BE796EB 21CBACF41C061D257D2271EA5B594DF2B98B7F14BDEA5A9EA1DDB0A1348A58BEBD9D98EDA265E5863496B743568728971BC6 A9ACAEF29A0498DD800B709F0E481772B363782731931593CB2D7DD3254FC848071D8C1F3FC3E009A3F0ABEFB3D8BF973FF3 A40E3633D7B767431F7816ACB1566A11AF4942016B7708193E80DAFE5DB39A66508CB4753F189C88044C53C57795152542A2 6084B1D9E23DB94AF26A70CB4A50019DB74AE1E1FAAAA807 ==================================================================================================== To decrypt files, please contact us by email: 777@8chan.co ==================================================================================================== The file is encrypted with the RSA-2048 algorithm, only we can decrypt the file.
When I messaged Gilly @AAAAAkAAAAA who is always willing to help me with anything, and is also like the co owner of TW, he logged in remotely to TW host and immediately figured out what happened. I had to leave the building to report to work so he was trying to figure out what's the safest thing to do remotely while I made it to work. At this point, all the files are affected on the machine, and even more terrifying, all external drives (14TB of data ) may have been corrupted. I would only know at morning when I return to the building to face one of my ultimate fear.
A system restore was attempted, but the machine is off atm so until Im back at the building, then I can restart the machine and take things from there.
How this happened? I have no idea. Only things I downloaded were maps from the forum someone posted, a youtube sinusbot plugin update and some other settings I changed with remote access.
When will TW servers be back? I don't know. I have a backup of our Promod server only, but not the deathrun and zombies. Worst case scenario is to host from another machine if this problem can't be fixed.
Do I know how to fix it? No. This is beyond my knowledge, and the only help I have in saving the servers is from @AAAAAkAAA
My greatest fear? If the external drives were affected ( which includes my work and university documents and everything backed up for 6 years) . I have no idea as yet what's the situation, which is terrifying to even think about. Ill only know when Im back at the building to check.
At this point, @AAAAAkAAAAA and I are doing our best and try and save and fix our servers and all data that was affected.
If anyone else have any advice or would like to assist us, that would be greatly appreciated and would be greatly rewarded.
