OK here is what will happen.
we will leave all servers as they are until early new year 2009 so in meantime we can still frag away as we are through out Christmas time.
then we will cut down servers to just 2 , 12 player servers 1 Obj and 1 DM server. both linux based servers.
my days of hosting large servers is coming to an end (been over 3 years)
however with LO now helping with future development of the mod we can assist with anyone wishing to set up servers of their own .
example if players want to co-own and run a larger server 30/40 players and share the costs between them we have here all the people with the technical know how. ie via paypal players donate a small amount i would be willing to chip in as well.
myself . LO , Malice , all know about server hosting infact Malice has a USA based server that is under used it would be a shame to let this good community go to waste. but it is important to all get along as the bickering we have seen does not help.
what are your thoughts please
Rich

it's more like rifle whitout soldier what is totally useless Well a lagre server like 30/40 players would be good, i think there are people here who would pay a little tax to get server running

hello richard
I have a server that I rent to S4NDMANN which is very good, but which is hosted in Texas so high ping (185), why not you rent a server PayPal payment of the same style with a control panel because I just add maps, control the configuration ...... it will be good to do well because I like even rent a server in Europe to have a correct ping I just not hosted a server with my computer too old for that and I I have a low speed dsl I expect an answer you because I will be a close near the server to a server in europe
regard
=FET=manulegend
I have great rotation player maps that my love

@ Rich you know i'd lend a hand if needed to newer server renters. yeah my usa server is under used atm but i keep it going because s4nd gives me an awesome deal. i'd really like to set up a eu one again because the one we had was crazy popular for a while and i miss that. soon s4nd will be offering eu servers as well. last i knew he was lookin around london, or amsterdam i think. i started my rtcw mp play on AVP servers and have meet very many good people from them. id like to help in anyway to keep them around. @ wolfsan i can only guess his reasons being running so many large popular servers is alot of work. @ manulegand. look above what i wrote bout s4nds offering eu servers. i been tellin him to do it for a long time. if he doesnt do so soon there are other server hosters out there that host in eu but i have found the quality and customer service of s4nds to be top notch.

YES i have mention this also to S4nd as Noghost have boxes in most data centers around europe maybe if s4nd gets enough pledges he will rent a box and soon get it filled but as i mention before a 40 player server i will help with monthly costs and maps and stuff , i just dont want to be in charge of the administration ( as i been doing it for so long i need a break ) so what alternatives have we so far www.noghost.net/hosting/ euro server www.extremegameservers.net (private server) post other possibilities here also .. also dedicated servers are an option something like below where run as many servers on a dedicated box as its capble of ( but downside is tied to a one year deal ) www.xtrgameservers.com/dedicated-servers.htmlalso again it requires an indivdual to put his/her name on the rental of the box we at the moment use www.fasthosts.comand the dedicated server there i will close at the new year. to be honest its been 100% reliable box . i think carnage city use noghosts ? we can pay in dollars shame no one works in a data center

if its administration and maintnence you need help with then i can only speak for myself in offering my help. whatever u needed i can do. in the past with our servers nate did 90% of it at least. and for this i am ever greatful to have him a s a friend. point being tho i can do w/e on a server and i can easily find some time to lend a hand. just tell what ya need and it can be done.
regard alternitive server hosters the only one you mentioned that i have had dealings with is mav over at noghost. he has been doing this long and would get a server up and running quickly. the benifit from renting from s4nd offers his vast knowledge and most likely advanced new released versions of his mod. mav at noghost i have spoken with less but would still higly reccomend to anyone who is considering renting a european server. also his web console interface is very impressive and blows s4nds java out of the water.
i am mentioning the benifits of them both to give anyone who might consider renting a server a descent idea about the positives and negatives of the people i have had dealings with.

spoke with s4nd for around a hour today about this and some other things. he has a new forum set up for his hosting and his eu boxs will be ready by tommarow. i highly reccomend any in eu who wished to rent to go through him. for rich and nate tho i also spoke with him bout some toher possibilitys we could take him up on. along the lines of renting a box from him with decent bandwith and size ect at a discounted rate of done in 3, 6, or 12 month intervals. i said to him and i say to you both now i dont know if smth like that wold interest you but i figure anyway to save a buck or two would be a good thing. if ya wish to speak with me more on it contact via msn or pm. i only write it here now so i dont need to pm you both

yep sounds good to me. hosting.s4ndmod.com/frankfurt server as i mention i will help with payments. BUT we need a person to be in charge of the server and then a list of names of those who can pledge the monthly payments ( via paypal ) costs RTCW 1.0 1.25/slot up to 24 1.50/slot after 24 costs are in dollars $ so a 32 player server will be around $42.00 dollars a month .
