GMOD TOWER IS...
a project comprised of many different unique gamemodes hoping to build a diverse community.
Essentially, the server (or tower) acts as a base for all the gamemodes it contains. You are not limited to one type of gameplay. The community forms what makes the tower interesting and the community controls how it's ran.
In the tower, you will have access to personal suites, stores, a whole batch of unique gamemodes, and much more.
There are plenty of well-thoughtout features/systems for your convenience. Trading (including currency exchange), grouping, gamemode queuing, awards (similar to achievements), and hand-picked administrators, just to name a few.
GMod Tower got closed due to loss of donations. It has been offline for about half a year now, and this is what has changed:
Here's some facts about the revival:
Everyone's stats/suites were reset - Yup, you'll have to start over. Which now that we've raised the GMC payout for all the gamemodes and achievements, it will be easier than the first time. Oh and players will be better respected - no hand outs from admins to "special people". Everyone has to play to get their items.
Addon installation is much easier - Voided recompiled the modules that were needed to view TV and listen to the radio in GMT. Because of his magic everything you need is all in the addons this time. No need to worry about loose files anymore! Note: Those who have the old modules/addons installed need to remove them from their GMod.
New Lobby map in the works - I am currently working on a new lobby with improved suites and better support for events and minigames. During the first month of this return opening we will be using the old lobby map (build002) until I am done with the new one.
New features - We have a lot of new features including new activities to do in tower that will surely be worth playing.
VIP/Donation rules have changed - Due to us not having the money to run the servers for more than two months, we have changed donations quite a bit. In order to be considered a VIP you must donate at least $15 towards our server bills. VIP will get you a GMC boost, VIP only items store, and VIP forum access.
Less bullstuff - We're not putting up with admin abuse bullstuff like in the past. Admins will not be able to run around flaunting their missile launcher death beam from hell. Our admins will be friendly, helpful, and most of all: fun.
Rabbits are gone - Don't worry, I'm gonna see about working on a similar concept (being able to buy different shirts, etc.)
IP changed - We got a brand spanking new IP. It is 208.115.210.150:27015. You can also use join.gmtower.org. Note: This is THE ONLY SERVER. Other servers are not affiliated or supported by us and are using an illegal leak of GMT. Do NOT join or support their servers!
It'll be out soon - As in probably sometime after this week but before the Avengers movie (which is gonna be awesome)
The Avenger's Movie releases in the USA on May 5th ( correct me if I am wrong ) and therefore the server opens public tomorrow, or the day after that. I'd expect a delay before public opening.
If you attempt to join the server now, your connection will be denied. It is currently on a whitelist for closed beta participants only.More screenshot's will be uploaded later..
Some party when the server opened about 3 days ago, disco balls erry'where:
