Since my childhood, I've always been interested in hosting servers for games like Counter-Strike, Team Fortress 2, and The Specialists mod for HL1. It started with Counter-Strike 1.6 and a mod called War3FT, which was heavily inspired by Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne by Blizzard Entertainment. This mod allowed you to choose different races that empowered your character and guns to gain certain perks, abilities, and even increased damage. It was a really fun mod to play when I was 11. It became one of the first servers I ever hosted and one of the most popular ones I owned, where I met tons of new people.

From there, I ventured into a game called The Specialists, a mod for Half-Life. The game was heavily inspired by The Matrix and allowed for some really cool combat back in 2002-2008. The game had another side to it for the role-playing community, known as TSRP. One of the popular plugin sets to enable this was HarbuRP, which added an economy, jobs, housing, and much more to the game. It let people immerse themselves in their character and take on a whole new life, kind of like what you see in the FiveM GTAV RP servers of today. That’s where I started Divine RP, which ended up becoming one of the biggest servers for TSRP. Sadly, it eventually had to shut down because my home internet kept getting hit with DDOS attacks. Definitely not fun when a script kiddy is constantly messing with your DSL and you can’t even play.

When my days playing TSRP finally wrapped up, I jumped into Garry’s Mod. Around that time, I had also started messing with Linux and learning a ton about how the operating system worked. This included figuring out how to host game servers, like GMod, on cheap VPSs that saved me a lot of money. Those were my community college days, working part-time and always scraping by with barely enough cash. I remember living off cups of ramen just to get by, but honestly, that struggle is what fueled me.

GMOD DarkRP really kicked off my love for server administration. I spent thousands of hours working on our RP servers, and our network, Beskor, ended up hosting a server called Oasis RP that just blew up. We ran three different servers, all maxed out with players, all the time. That was a period where I was genuinely happy with life. It was chaotic and exhausting, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Nowadays, I find myself helping out a bunch of gaming communities across different games. It keeps me busy during my free time and makes sure I always have something to work on. It's my happy little life and I feel like I'm at peace with that.
