New Server?

[Nad]

What is it going to take to get a new server hosted? What games would people be interested in playing? I haven't touched an online game in over a year, but wouldn't mind kicking back and playing some FPS from time to time.

DAoC FTW!!!

I still play a good bit of TF2 and have even played a bit of CSS over the past few weeks. But I think K2 has said that its gotta be free. So which one of you guys works at an ISP and can get him hosted? I gots no money right now due to my recent house purchase, but I can help with admin.

[K2]

Pho is correct - I have the hardware, but unless any of ya can find me a place to put 'em free of charge AND on a decent pipe, it aint gonna happen.

Either that, or myself or one of ya wins the lottery and hooks us all up for life

What would it cost to have it hosted somewhere for a year? I've never messed with this stuff before, but if it isn't too expensive to run a game server or two, I bet getting the money to front a year worth of hosting wouldn't be an issue.

[K2]

You're lookin at 139/mo minimum, and thats hardware that THEY supply. To host my hardware could be less (but with a lot less bandwidth that's metered) or a lot more.

So for a full year you're lookin at 1700+ for someone elses weaker hardware.

When I used to work with The Planet, my monthly bill was around 300+ a month, but that was back when I was single and not trying to build a house.

Free or bust.

Yeah I know the feeling. I was looking at a site today that offered Dallas hosting for $.75 a slot. I know nothing about it, but 2 25 slot servers would cost under $40 a month, but that could be really crappy hosting for all I know.

That was at Game Servers

[K2]

Yeah, those X amount per player slot servers are shared hosting, meaning there's several other game server processes on that same box, with limited accress. Fuck that.

[Suck.]

I can say that I'm enjoying having the pre-existing structure of my clan for hosting CSS, and not having to mess with any back-end or admin issues for now. Even if Hardfought put servers up again, I don't know that I'd be available to help with running things, even putting in time adminning (not to mention the conflict of interest it would present).

I don't think there is currently enough demand to warrant putting up our own game server again. Times are changing and we're all old.

So you're saying... there's a chance...
