Cheers. I'll try and get round to installing Vent sometime too (I use mumble most of the time)
@you and everyone else, I spoke to LOAM yesterday and he pointed out the killercreations site, where you can order 6 32slot BFBC2 ranked dedis for £24/month each. If it's not too late to change your order it could be worth us sorting out something like this between us. LOAM's clan wants 2 dedis and I'd like 1...so 3 more people and we could have a very cheap setup between us.
Big post sorry.
Yeah sounds a very good price, only problem there tho is who would have ultimate control over the box? We used to own a box with GTXgaming, but they couldn’t guarantee us a ranked BC2 server so we left. We had the option to rent other servers out to other clans and could have actually made money from it, but for obvious reasons we had to leave.
I wouldn't be to keen on the idea that the server is technically out of my hands, because if the person in charge of the box decided to drop it or cant pay for it, we intern lose our server. That said perhaps if we pool our money 2gether we could get a smaller box our self’s! Defiantly work a look in!
Out of in interested who is willing to chipping in and how much are you willing to give a month? I have to be careful because i dont want people to think that i'm getting OCUK to fund a clan server or anything….. its totally the opposite thanks to my clan we have funds to set up a server without asking for anything in return other than you play on it
…. however if we put our money together perhaps we could get more!!!
The server has been pre-ordered with multiplay so of course can cancel it anytime, we always know where we stand with them + its easy to use and set up..... costs a little more granted but worth it…. That said if every1 complains about ping/lag etc then we’ll need to change it!
Defo have a chat later about that £24/motnh server tho!
Aedus: In our clan I’ve set up a TFU dedicated bank account and paypal TFU account, we asked our dedicated members when we first started CSS to donate £8/month if they of course wanted to, thus giving them full access to admin on forums, server, vent everything.... I know that its a lot but its seriously worked for us, we were able to move to a box which failed due to terrible port numbers and lack of ranked servers etc. Because we had a large income we saved money which we've used to buy domains and other cool stuff like HLstats along with match servers etc. I have never ripped any1 off and spent the money on anything other than on the clan and i've done that for over a year.
I know some people are out of work atm etc, but our standard buy in is £8/month and of course we expect the person to join the clan after we've spoke to them. Initially we took month’s b4 inviting someone into admin, but with BC2 we of course need to get it off the ground.
The £8/month would fund the servers, the more people that pay in the more we can get.... thus meaning the more servers we get the more servers people get to admin and play around with. Everything would be done by vote and nothing bought without checking with every1 who pay's. I personally pay £15/month as i feel its only fair.
Seriously tho if we can get enough people setting up a standing order to the account we could get our box and set up servers in any games we want when ever we want rather than relying on one person to pay for the server ya know.
