Title: New game server?
Post by: pixiestyx on June 20, 2011, 06:31:27 PM
Simple quesiton.  We'd like your feedback as to how we could make you general players want to play with us more, and what games you'd like to play with us.

Well, we tried BFBC2, but that didn't really get off the ground (maybe if it was a rush server, or mixed-mode?). When Battlefield 3 comes out, maybe we should try that.

I say CS:s because the game play is similar to DOD:s and I already have it installed, I enjoy the game, and i'm cheap.  ;)

I disagree with this, I don't think its all that similar to dods at all. it is still a good game though.

BF3 is off limits since you have to rent from a trusted provider and if you recall, BF2 servers cost over $300 a month when it first came out

id be open to another dods server, css is possible but i despise working on CSS servers if you want anything more than a basic server
(modded servers are extremely difficult to maintain),  unless someone else wants to remotely control it

same deal with TF2, i have no idea how tf2 works since ive never played it, id have someone who has experience set it up. l4d2 is doable, the only issue
is when i tried to host my own it was very difficult to get it to work right (map would never change, kicked everyone from lobby etc)

i wouldnt suggest l4d2 at all as the player cap will be very small.  i'm up for a battlefield vietnam or reg bad co 2 but mixed maps (not hardcore as most people i know hate it) I know the server before was bad but i think more people bought the game since.  Its a good idea to get a more recent game as a way to push KEA forward. I know that a Battlefield 3 server would also be expensive.  You guys should know that even if we get a less expensive server we still ALL need to chip in financially (as little as it may be)  if we wanna keep the website and servers going.

get me ftp access up and I can help manage any game server.  I have boat loads of tf2 and css gungame maps.

Do ya?

Yeah, i have a 10 GB directory with all the maps i've collected over the years from DODS, TF2 and CSS.  After I reinstall my OS and steam, i can just copy them back instead of download them from a slow server.

No, cause dylan would host those maps, but I could give them to him so he would have them.

Post by: pixiestyx on June 26, 2011, 02:30:16 PM
Ok, so it looks like CSS is going to win unless a bunch of people start voting.  What kind of CSS server?  Gun Game?  just a few maps? need some input here.

i made some suggestions but to tell you the truth , i prob wont play CSS... only old game i'd play is DOD (and i've hardly played much of that since i built my new rig).  Battlefield Vietnam all the way.  Progression with new games is key for KEA (old Bad co 2 server was not popular like i said in prev post but im sure theres peeps out there with newer rigs nowadays).  As as side note even though DOD is picking up lately i dont think its necessary we get  a new DOD server.  L4D2 has a limited player cap, and TF2 is shit.

Tastey, I don't think you understand what's going on.  Dylan hosts the server off his home connection, cause he has verizon fios, 25 down, 25 up.  Which means all source games.  So we can put up another source server no problem, but we really don't have the donation base at this time to front a different game, like BC2 or something like that.
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: TastyTaste on June 28, 2011, 09:23:51 AM
ahh i see
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: fury on June 28, 2011, 02:12:49 PM
aint that gonna overflow his computer? in which case..we still need money to pay for a better "server" right?

what im trying to say here is,he is usign his own personal computer to host it ,so in my opinion,we (at least) should fund said system..
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: Joeseph Geobbels on June 28, 2011, 03:19:58 PM
good point fury. dyllie billy, what hardware are you running? im sure its enough to run two source serves on.
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: pixiestyx on June 28, 2011, 04:20:15 PM
I think he has an AMD Phenom II x4 955 that he's over clocked.  He told me, he could run a 2nd server, but at lower population, like 24 ish.
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: fury on June 28, 2011, 06:17:46 PM
what would it take to upgrade that shit? is it worth it?
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: pixiestyx on June 28, 2011, 06:36:12 PM
A 6 core cpu would do it.  Honestly he needs a server, not his gaming rig, but that's not easy to get.....
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: fury on June 28, 2011, 07:04:00 PM
thats my point...and wer talkin about how much cash?
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: Joeseph Geobbels on June 28, 2011, 10:04:35 PM
more cores = better for server tasks, but i doubt he needs it.
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: [KEA]Dylan on July 21, 2011, 11:07:05 PM
if this werent my gaming rig i could easily run 3-6 source servers on it. i'm already running a nightfire server, dods server, http server and ftp.
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: pixiestyx on July 21, 2011, 11:18:50 PM
Well i'm working on a dedicated server for games, but I would need donation help to get it into a datacenter and keep it there.  I'm going to try and get an older dell 1850 from work.  2x3.2 GHZ intel xeons, i think dual cores, but probably singles with a few gb of ram and some nice scsi drives for raid.  Could easily run the websites and 3ish gameservers.  but i'm going to reiterate the point, I WOULD NEED DONATION HELP.  This is a group, and as a group we should push forward, not 1 person giving all while you guys just sit back and enjoy the benefits.

i'll send another donation when i come to the states at the end of the month (gonna party hard for my b-day, woot woot niggas).  Send payments to Whores like normal?
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: pixiestyx on July 22, 2011, 08:14:35 AM
Joseph, the server I would be getting from work would be free, i wouldn't need $$ help to get a server, but to maintain the cost of putting it a datacenter. 

Tastey, I have no server yet, don't worry about it.  If you want to send some money to someone I can use it to pay for the website.  Let me know what you want to do, but the website is cheap in comparison.
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: Joeseph Geobbels on July 22, 2011, 12:54:01 PM
but look at how cheap that shit is! how much are you thinking it would cost to have it there?
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: [KEA]Dylan on July 22, 2011, 06:50:05 PM
hey dont forget me im the one hosting your servers and shit w/ my electric bill and internet xd dont pay whores ;x and website is only once a year

btw joseph lol @ that power supply you picked out. i wouldnt spend $20 on a power supply in a million years

dylan,get the russians to pay the electric bill.

hey just because i'm hosting from home it automatically means it's free and worthless for donations? you're technically paying for exactly the same thing when you rent from a company (electric/space/internet)
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: fury on July 22, 2011, 11:30:35 PM
i was just giving you shit,and i have asked you how much money you needed for the bills some time ago

edit: (and im not being an asshole):how much money does it take?
Title: Re: New game server?
Post by: [KEA]Dylan on July 23, 2011, 12:51:08 AM
btw pixie said to me earlier my previous posts seemed nasty, i didnt mean it that way. to answer your question: when i upgraded the internet service back in december or so to host a server 24/7 it cost an extra $20 + approximately $5 or so in taxes that vary each month, and running high end PC 24/7 (of course with all the power saving features enabled when possible) for the servers raised the electric bill about $15-20 /month (now summer), i'd say a grand total of $35-50 /month which in all regards is still way cheaper than both renting 2 standard game servers from a company, collocating a server, renting multiple virtual private servers, renting a dedicated box from a company, and renting web/ftp space from a web host.
