RE: Radio Free Zion
Sweet! I think RFZ is the reason we have an in-game radio in the first place. They hosted some parties during beta, but at the time we had to have a media player running in the background to listen in. Monolith noticed this and was kind enough to add the in-game radio.
I remember DJ Sundog being interviewed for the MxO magazine, and even getting his name in a critical mission.
It's the very first, original RFZ website design brought back from the abyss and adjusted to our needs.
MxO veterans should be very happy with it, I hope.

RE: Radio Free Zion
Radio Free Zion management has been released into the hands of the community as our amazing DJ Ouranos is moving onto his own, more personalized project.
As such, there will be some major changes in RFZ, some of which already came to pass.
The radio has now became a community project, broadcasting 24/7, being hosted on a good dedicated server with proper management tools for DJs, which help with playlist automation and other tasks.
You will now encounter a nice welcome message upon connecting to the radio. It's only a start, as there will be more of this kind of content on RFZ.
The other types of auditory content that we want to introduce next to the music are:
Podcasts
Live discussions
Immersive fake ads
Org related themes
...and more
The radio is currently maintained by Ninten (an experienced DJ), and myself, with support from Vader and other community members. We want to have as many people involved as possible.
At some point we'll definitely want to set up proper DJ rotation as well to provide unique and diverse content for all of RFZ listeners.
Main course and goal now are to build RFZ with, and, around the mxo community.
While on this topic, we want to very much thank Ouranos, and original creators of RFZ, for paving the road for this community project.
Next to already known RFZ songs and jingles, many new have been added and there will be more.
We'll be working on dedicated party playlists for a better experience.
If you:
- want to propose a song or fakeads/jingles materials;
- want to join us as a DJ;
- have other ideas how to improve the radio;
Send a pm to me or Ninten, or jack into our discord, and let's write a new history together, as a community!

RE: Radio Free Zion
Radio Free Zion have just got a new domain! https://radiofreezion.net/
You can now use the new direct link https://stream.radiofreezion.net:8061/listen.mp3 (including macros), although the original one still works,
so if you already added it to your fav list in-game, it will still connect just fine and you don't have to replace it.
