Each server is selected based on network quality, performance, and stability, allowing us to provide a consistent gaming experience for players across different regions. By utilizing multiple infrastructures and providers, we reduce single points of failure and improve overall service availability.

Our network benefits from:

• Servers hosted in multiple datacenters
• Low-latency connectivity for online gaming
• Enterprise-grade DDoS protection
• High network availability and uptime
• Continuous monitoring and maintenance
• Optimized routing for stable connections

The YOB Current Network is continuously evaluated and expanded to ensure that our game servers remain fast, secure, and accessible to players worldwide.

All of our servers will now run the same modification, built specifically for the YOB community and fully developed by Nobody. Until now, we have been using “New Experience,” a widely used server-side mod. However, we have noticed a steady decline in player numbers over time, and we believe this mod played a role in that.

Over the past few weeks, a brand new solution has been developed and tested with the goal of bringing our servers back to life.

Introducing: Nektum Shield

All servers will now be protected by this system.

Nektum Shield is currently one of the most advanced anti-cheat systems available for CoD4X. It is designed to collect and analyze player data to ensure a fair and secure gaming experience.

Everyone is equal, everyone is safe. From this moment on, we are redefining security for this game. This project took six months of continuous work, with over 1,000 hours of development and testing.

A special thanks goes to Nobody for creating this system, and to all YOB community members who contributed with feedback and support.

Nektum Shield is part of the Nektum Ecosystem. All rights reserved. Developed by Nobody.

What We Are Keeping

The server structure will remain the same. For example, the “Crossfire Only” server will stay “Crossfire Only.”

We are simply replacing “New Experience” with this new mod and anti-cheat system, especially considering the recent increase in hacking activity.

The mod is currently version 1.1, so it is still in development. If you encounter any bugs or have requests, feel free to reply here or reach out on Discord.

We hope this update will help bring the servers back to being as active as before. A special thanks goes to Nobody for the incredible work, dedication, and development behind this mod that made all of this possible.

just to inform you that the servers with IPs 82.39.186.84, 143.20.37.144, 194.163.149.187, 81.181.198.203 and 38.54.16.61 will expire by the end of this month.

Since they are not being used, I’ve decided to let them expire.

If anyone has questions, feel free to ask

I’ve updated the server rules to keep things clear, competitive, and fair for all players. Please take a moment to read them:

Rules:

1. Respect all players and play fair
2. No cheats or exploits – instant ban
3. English only in chat and voice
4. Keep communication clean – no spam or toxicity
5. No advertising, recruiting, or team stacking
6. Report cheaters privately to admins with proof
7. Camping is allowed

Warning System (for admins & players):

Warnings are issued using predefined shortcuts linked to each rule. These can be used with commands like:

• !kick
• !tempban
• !ban
• !permban

Each rule has a corresponding warning:

• rule1 → Respect / fair play
• rule2 → Cheats/exploits (usually direct ban)
• rule3 → Language (English only)
• rule4 → Toxicity / spam
• rule5 → Advertising / recruiting / stacking
• rule6 → Reporting misuse
• rule7 → Camping (allowed, for clarification only)

Examples:

• Language violation → !kick <player> rule3
• Toxic behavior → !tempban <player> rule4
• Advertising → !kick <player> rule5

Warnings may include a duration and escalate if repeated.

The goal is simple: keep the server clean, competitive, and enjoyable for everyone.

Thanks for your cooperation and have fun!

I’ve been tweaking my server settings lately and I think I’ve found a really solid balance for WAR:
right now it’s set to 60 minutes / 30000 score, and with 7v7 it usually reaches the scorelimit just before time runs out matches feel full and well-paced.

I was talking about this earlier with @zzziplex, and based on that I tried to apply the same kind of pacing to other gametypes (S&D, Domination, and HQ/KOTH).

Here’s what I’m currently considering as a possible setup:

S&D

• Roundlimit: 12
• Roundswitch: 6
• Timelimit: 2.5

Domination

• Scorelimit: 200
• Timelimit: 20
• Player respawn delay: 5
• No round split

HQ / KOTH

• Scorelimit: 200
• Timelimit: 20
• Autodestroy: 90
• Capture time: 15
• Spawn delay: 25

The idea is to keep the same feeling as WAR: matches that don’t end too fast but also don’t drag, ideally finishing just before the limit.

Before locking everything in, I’d really like to hear your thoughts:

• Do these settings make sense to you for public play?
• Would you tweak anything (scorelimit, timelimit, respawns, etc.)?
• From your experience, what feels best in 6v6–7v7?

Appreciate any feedback {blackemo}:crazy:  

The 185.186.26.xxx subnet will be taken offline starting from April 2 as part of a necessary upgrade. As a result, the machine currently using IP 185.186.26.51 may be replaced or canceled.

1. Set it in your name:
   Type

   seta name "<~YOB~> YourName"

    and reconnect where needed.

2. For CoD4:

   • Join our Steam group: Young and Old Boys

   • In-game, open the console and type

     \clan

   • Select (Old Boys)And(Young Boys) from the list that appears

   • Reconnect to the server, and your clan tag will be applied automatically.
