Hugo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Can anyone explain this to me? I booked a "ping express" option from my internet service provider. Since then my ping has changed to around 14ms. (I tested it with pingtest.net) But in NOLF2 my ping still reads around 150! And in the game some fellas hit me cause they are faster Is there anything I can do now? some settings anywhere? grateful Hugo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kepler Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 If you are on 6th avenue,I sure hope you choose something better than a Pizza Hut. And yes, Hugo, Berlin to North America is a kind of far. Maybe we could help you run an ethernet cable over the north pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliteone Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Of course if people want to pitch in some more $$ we could setup a second server closer to Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{IF} Agent 224 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 I want a closer server, but there are a few "little" (if i ca say so) probs: 1) i have money but can't pay. 2) i can't pay cz i just dont have something to pay by XD (i think there's no way to "fill" paypal account in my town :S) 3) no hosts in russia (at least in 7 big cities we always request) who'd host NOLF 2. I asked. well, not russia is really needed, but would be certainly better btw, I can actually try a 24/7 host. if otheers agree to send $1-2 (or less) every month to cover the internet and electricity payoffs. I work on laptop now, it's much easier to keep it on 24/7 than a stationar computer. what others think about it? *waiting for opinions* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{IF} Crusader Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 *waiting for opinions* Good idea! I already asked my provider about hosting a 24/7 gameserver, and they said, that this is no problem! So I just have to buy the hardware and we can host an Nolf2 server, located in Europe, Austria, in my city! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

{IF} Crusader Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 How much do you want? XD Nothing, ofc. It's for the Nolf2 Community! I just want to help to keep it alive! However, it does not cost that much, so yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I just have to buy the hardware and we can host an Nolf2 server, located in Europe, Austria, in my city! Guys, Only drawback of hosting on a home based internet connection VS commercial is the upload and download speeds. Gameservers need it to be balanced (fast and the same between upload and download speeds) When I stopped hosting gameservers on the data centre dedicated server I leased and went with a commercial host I settled on New York for the location of the NOLF2 server as a "compromise" (For North America and Europe players it seemed to be a central location) Now the commercial provider presently being used has European locations (London, The netherlands etc) and we can certainly look into those options however it would require more to contribute than do presently. I've been proud to have hosted NOLF2 servers since the game came out pretty much. I donate my time and $$ to the cause regularly even though my time for playing the game has become quite limited. I appreciate your desire to want to contribute in your own way but I'm sure you want the gaming experience to be enjoyable for everyone and a home connection just can't do that (It's not designed too) So how to proceed? We could move the existing server to another location (cost for it would go up) or if there was enough community demand/funding get a second server (could even run one as a DM server) Or we could enjoy what we have making more of an effort to make it enjoyable for everyone.
