Yes.
This will be the location for Multiplex.
My college semester just ended, so we'll be working on it in the coming weeks.
As for the relation to GST 2016 that people keep guessing on, let me give a brief description of what Multiplex is going to be:
Essentially, it's a central location for gang activities.
Activities in process include:
Gang Spar, Gang TTS, Base Battle, and PK Arena.
More in-depth:
Gang Spar:
Gang Spar will have multiple theme'd arenas to accomodate different player tastes.
In addition to the classic(open) arena with no obstacles, there will be a base-themed arena, and possibly an outdoors-themed arena.
Same ol' GS concept, though.
Gang TTS (Tag Team Spar):
Same concept as the TTS event; except gangs will join a queue, and be paired up in a first come, first served basis. (Similar to the current GS queue)
Each match will have 2-4 members from each gang, and only one member from each gang will go in at a time to fight; the rest will be in a spectate box outside of the arena.
Instead of having a "grab the block and your next teammate will be screwed over" tagging system, we're going to see about making a "TAG" Button that you'll tap(or click) to tag.
Also, The TTS arena will be larger than that in the event.
Base Battle:
Long story short: Up to four gangs join and fight it out in a large base-themed arena. No heals, grenades, or stuff like that-- strictly gun play.
We did some beta testing with the GST 2015 teams, and Bluecat recorded some of it.
PK Arena:
My attempt at breathing some life into a great concept that currently has no incentive to attract players.
Instead of having an arena that offers nothing more than kills, this PK Arena will be auto-hosted in 10-minute rounds.
There will also be 4-6 different arenas, which will be cycled through(either random, or voted by participants) at the beginning of each round.
For crowd control, there will be a "maximum players" join limit, depending on the size of the arena.
I'm also going to experiment with the idea of having 2v2 gang spars.
The kicker:
Ultimately, all items on the server will be disabled in all Multiplex levels.
Instead, Multiplex will have its own customizable gun, only usable in the Multiplex arenas.
The gun customization was originally going to be utilized in Neo Zone base, but we figured it would be best to not limit basers; and instead, implement it into a separate project.
Here's my original video when I came up with the idea:
Pretty much, you'll be able to purchase the Multiplex gun with basic default stats (shown in the video), then purchase up to 20 points separately.
There will be an NPC in the "Shop / Scoreboard" room, that allows you to set your gun back to default, enabling you to re-distrubute your purchased stat points in any way you see fit.
I'm also going to look into having attachments that use x amount of points, such as grenade launchers, gun stands, etc.
As quoted in the video above, you'll be able to select whether you want the gun to be held in the left or right hands, and fire bullets respectively.
There will also be several different skins to choose from.
That's the Multiplex Project in a nutshell.
Obviously it's still in development, and is subject to change.
The relation with GST 2016 is that, we plan on enforcing the customizable Multiplex gun in GST 2016.
That way everybody is essentially using the same tier gun.
Certain qualifiers will likely also be done in Multiplex.

One of the main reasons for multiplex is the current out-of-control situation with guns being overpowered.
More and more people are winning because of their gun, instead of raw talent.
I personally love the skill-based play that this game offers-- PKing, Sparring, and Basing-- but frankly, the game's enjoyment has been getting watered down with these gun stats lately; at least for me.
I've come to find that a lot of people actually enjoy it that way, so instead of trying to "fix" the server at large, and upset those who enjoy the current environment, I'm just going to make a central location where the old school skill-based play can continue to thrive.
That way the people who enjoy the new-school guns can continue to enjoy them, and those of us who prefer old-school skill-based play can hide out in Multiplex.
