ES is nice indeed!

Nice! I was thinking about a hosted server last week and when I get back from a few days abroad the whole community is searching =) I had also found easyspeedy.dk during my short research as a possible candidate but I think we need to get our hands on a proper machine to really test it out. For instance, I'd like to ping one of easyspeedys customer servers than their webserver to see if there might be a difference =)

For testing I'd say use something like WinMTR which also gives you pings along the route from your machine to the server, ping works too =). It's also a bit hard to tell from the ping tests since the network load might depend at what time during the day you do it, one day it might be fine and the other it's shit if you're unlucky.

I pinged one of their customers server first. It pinged little bit better than easyspeedys web server. I didn't want to disturb any innocent server too much so I decided to ask how people ping to easyspeedy.dk.

i have two other suggestions to solve this problem.

1. someone could do a simple login program to qw servers, that forces a player to login with an id and password. example
"connect superserver.se:27501 zaq bestplayerever".
and only way to obtain a id and pass is to pay lets say 5e a year.

2. when ever a clan signs up for tourney, they pay lets say 50e for the whole season, and then play all their officials on that particular server. maybe a similar system with clan id and password.

these suggestions would probably force alot of players to pay, then we would get enough money for a descent server as someone mentioned it probably would cost some...
feedback??

oh and btw i have 13ms to all nordic servers...
tele2/sunet 10/10 in stockholm.

yihaa niggahs!

forgot... if we get more money then needed i think that qw.nu crew can use that for their work (pay themselves a bit for their work) and also for smaler price money in tourneys and such as to maybe get more ppl into the qw scene...

i don't think that's a good idea, maybe making spectatorslots prioed for those that payed, make custom stuff available in the forums etc. and ofcourse, money to tourneys is a good thing, we dont have that!

ppl pay alot more then 10e a month for wow.
why not 10e a year for qw?
specslots wont motivate anyone since qtv his here to stay anyway.

10e / year to get access to the new mix server would be nice to have

but isnt that against our "holy laws of qw" to not pay for stuff?

but if ppl wantto do this we could lets say have a system like this:
1, you pay with and message your qw.nu userdatabase nick in your payment
2, you connect to the mix server with username/password of qw.nu

could be possible but lots of fuzz for the admins, duno if its correct though!
I take no sides here, free for all = good but if its not possible then might go in another direction to atleast get the servers up?

yeah but we're not retards i wouldn't like the idea of paying to login to a server for a year. I'd rather much prefer to pay 10e for a server donation freely available for everyone since i am a socialist.

ruskie, yeah that would be great ruskie if its possible, time will tell!

no descent servers will make it even worse imo.

not really, we just need one good server in .dk for the crucial 4on4games. we have other alternatives right now as it is but they are not as good. Come on, we just put a "donate" banner on qw.nu qwdrama qw.ru etc and wait until a buffer of whatever the number we need to host the server for lets say 6 months to start with, isn't so bad? unless we can't get that amount of cash needed we will just play with the alternatives. it wont kill the scene, will it?

ruskie, u probably dont understand how it is, takes some time to show u how important 3-4 4on4 servers are in DK.

to make a found raiser shouldnt be that hard!

make a post on qw.nu front page with a paypal link and see how much money u can get in and after 2 weeks start the decision of what we can do with the money.

much talk and zero action

hehe yea i haven't actually thought about doing or pushing for anything yet just wanna see how the discussion goes, but of course you are spot on, mucho hablo zero action

okey, we need 1170 euros to have a server up at easyspeedy.com for 1 year
the server will be : AMD Athlon 64 3500+ , 2 GB DDR2 RAM , 250 GB SATA and 20 ips @ http://easyspeedy.com/servers/dedicated_servers_ES3020.jspx

that means if 200 ppl wanna help out we need ~6 euros from each one of you!

I dont know the exact number of the amount of servers you can get on a machine like that but maybe around ~20 allround ?

is 6e worth that much? YES IT IS!!! but 200 ppl are needed

to me it looks way too freaking expensive, I mean, 6 euro individually doesn't seem so much but the overall sum of money looks a bit expensive

i will donate 20euro as soon as any form of donation is started for this cause.

so about 6e from 200 players gives us about 20 allround servers in denmark with 100mbit and a good cpu for a year... seems fair enough for me.

oh TWENTY servers... that does make it different, count me in!

Why take such an expensive one? there is no need for 20 servers with http://easyspeedy.com/servers/dedicated_servers_ES2300.jspx you can run atleast 5 servers + qizmo which is enough.


Only for 600.- a year thats 10,- for 60 ppl.

ok that is a good option, if we cant get the amount of cash needed. and we can continue the hosting a bit longer than a year if lets say we get 850:- e. or something. but 20 high class servers in .dk does sound nice thou

and half of the servers are gonna be emtpy for 90% of the time, just waste of money. We only need it for 4on4 games. So 5 should be enough to cover all games for eql/nqr.

all u have to do it wait and see how much money comes in...
if it is 600.. then murdocs alternative ...
if it is more then a better machine with more servers
i would gladly play an ammount for servers in .dk
since there is a few of us clans that just dont have all swe / fi setup
we have players from all over europe in a2k ... and playing on swe servers is not an option for us

and murdocs alternative actually has a
Data Transfer per mo.
175 GB at 100 Mbit speed - NOT UNMETERED

dunno how much wargamez has atm
but that needs to be check in to aswell
