We will soon have a Netherlands based windows server running NOLF1 as well as a linux server there.

 

If you wanted to pool together and raise enough money to cover a game sesson there then give Airbus, myself or Charm a pm and we can sort it out.

Trouble is I can't find any game servers that run NOLF over here. That leaves it down to getting a dedicated box. That's like £49 a month. Sure I'd love to pay for that but on a graduate's salary, it's not going to happen tongue.gif But if anyone else has money to burn... http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/dedicatedservers/

 

Anyway, news from the FF5 camp. Now this might not come about but FF5 might be hosting a few new servers. Possibly 3. This is just gossip though and it might not happen. Will have to wait and see.

what we should do, is get a pay-pal account for unityhq.

 

and then get 2 DM and 2 DD servers, and 1 TDM

i think the community could pool enough to pull that off,

the reason i say 2 DD and 2 DM is we could get 1 DD and 1 DM hosted in europe for them and then 1 DD and 1 DM hosted in Texas so its equal ground for americans, and then the TDM can be NY for everyone smile.gif

 

i dunno, just throwin the idea out, and i will probably provide some $$$ for this cause smile.gif

I'd love to get a bunch of servers up for Unity but I'm just not confidant that everyone would contribute on a regular basis and I don't want to get stuck with a huge bill every month (like eliteone frequently does). Eventually I'll probably have to fork over more $$$ as the website grows so I have that to consider too. Ideally, I'd like there to be a permanent DeathMatch server for NOLF1, NOLF2 & CJ, then another one for special events, but that takes cash and connections, which I'm still working on getting.

 

Right now Eliteone is running the current servers for Unity off her own box as a big favor to me and the community. There isn't room for more, though. I'm hoping she'll be able to arrange something with the new owners of the former NYC server that will allow for more servers that won't cost gobs of money.

 

A Paypal logo/link will be on the Unity website eventually or you can just use my email to send funds for Unity - belladonna@unityhq.net

Any donations will be used to pay for current servers and website costs.

"No Mood, my ping has gone up from 28 to 54 on average. I am currently in discussions with council to decide on a future course of action."

 

So you may have to fire a millionth of a millimeter in front of someone, big deal. Its kinda weird that you are unhappy with a 54 ping, when most people's are over 100, ON AVERAGE. Almost everyone would be VERY happy with a 54 ping, yet you are unhappy with it.

That's not what he is saying...you are taking it out of context. Go back and read the history again and you'll see that Knix is responding to another comment about how everyones ping has gone down.

Yeah, Spazz - that isn't going to happen. 5 servers, would cost us roughly $155 a month. And we'll need that every month. And that's just hosting them in the US. I can't find any european hosts where I can host NOLF cheaply. For hosting over here you're looking at £49 a month per server. I just don't see us getting that kind of money. It must admit we might do it for a month or two but we would be talking a continous flow of cash.

Another problem is that in the end I can see the majority of this funding for the extra servers coming from the "older" NOLF players. Most of the younger players, students etc. are pretty pushed for cash and might not be able to afford a £15 a month. True that's not much but when you have student debts etc. it all adds up. So it would come to those that can afford to pay it - those will full time, well paying jobs. And it's not fair too place this responsiblity on one set of people.

OK, let's see if we do have another people who would be willing to donate monthly.

Don't post any amount if you are unsure you can afford it every month. I only want the positives as then we will have a better idea if we can afford it. Having people post a load of maybes means we get a false picture. We could decide to go ahead and then £100 a month goes by people dropping out.

The thread is about no nolf servers not tech issues.

 

Server is running just fine. This should be handled via PM or on the SFI forum. If you have issues with an SFI Server
