Game Apex TF2 server

Sk8forMaple · 29-October-07, 09:55 AM

alright, so its seems that everyone loves TF2 and after our attempts to find a server for the 8 man Achievement, Lia and I thought, why not start a TF2 server for the site. So, Lets here what you all think. Also, if this is decided on, is anyone willing to donate to the cost of the server, or does anyone have a server and the bandwidth to do this? One of the TGL's advertisers has a 24 man server for 42.00.

So, Lets hear it people!

EDIT: ITS UP!

Best bet would be to have a server company host it.

I wouldn't pay though. I don't play it enough.

I'd chip in for a $42.00 server. If enough of us chip in that's not much at all

yea i think if we get at least 10 people to chip in it will be just under $5 each...its not bad. Its a lot of fun playing with everyone from here.

That way we don't have to search for servers and worry about everyone we want getting on before it fills up.

Not to be a bastard or anything, Red02 and I had the idea for a CS:S server. But that went by the wayside because we couldn't get enough people to chip in, I'm down if we get a decent flow of traffic. And of course, Powered by GameApex

Dex · 29-October-07, 10:56 PM

I had a blast on TF2 the other night with you guys, and would definitely be up for chipping in to a server.

Is that $42 per month/year/decade?

Master Yunk · 29-October-07, 11:10 PM

Per Month. I wish it was Per Decade.

More player slots, more money. If course we would all have reserved spots.

Nah thats not being a bastard man, its being a bit realistic. I'm going to post this over at PCApex as well and we'll see who chimes in over there. Hopefully we can get enough people to do this. I mean seriously, some of you guys pay for Xbox live service, if nine people do this it would be the same cost.

Hell even if 4 people donate 10 bucks a month its still doable!

Wow, $42 is a deal! They may even give it to us for free or at a discount if we agree to give them adversiting in return.

If you want to contact them and offer that, Joker then you have my blessing. We can offer a 160x600 or a 250x250 banner at GameApex 100% static in return.

We once ran a BF2 server for a while and that server cost us over $120.

I think we can swing $42. Count me in at least.

If a 20 man server is cheaper I would even be cool with that (20 player is as low as I would want to go, though).

Master Yunk · 02-November-07, 11:17 PM

Lets do it! We already have five!

eascarface · 03-November-07, 02:19 AM

Would it be TF2 only or would their be other games as well?

Seemingly that we're all TF2'd up... No. I guess right now its TF2 only.

Maybe we should start a gaming clan?

Sk8forMaple · 04-November-07, 12:43 AM

I'll contact them today and see what they say. Thanks!

Reza · 05-November-07, 03:12 AM

I'm all for getting a server, i love the game, I just can't afford it.

wikidlia · 05-November-07, 01:19 PM

i think if we had our own server to play on it would help us practice...and then we don't have to constantly search for one with enough room for all of us to play with each other. if its public we can't switch it to private when we feel like it right? so what if people take over the server and we can't even get on it half the time? lol i dunno i'm new to all this so i don't really understand how it all works...

SexyPants · 05-November-07, 01:29 PM

what, you didn't like the Beavis & Butthead crew from last night?

We can make it private by throwing a password on it temporarily. This tends to tick public users off, but they don't pay for the server =P, So yes it would help practicing. Also, I don't really know how we would do this, but there is a way to make reserved slots for specific steam ids (i.e. The server is full and you try to connect, It seems your steam id as reserved, kicks a player and you are allowed to connect.) I'm sure if we do that, the reserved slots will goto the players who are funding the server, but again I'll have to go over that with GK
