Aqizzaaaaar... come baaaaaack. 

Edit: Oh hey:

How much bandwidth does the game use?

        * The rate is approximately 1.2 kbyte/sec upload and 1.2 kbyte/sec download per client. Multiplying that up, a 10-player server will use approximately 12 kbyte/sec up and 12 kbyte/sec down (the exact numbers will depend on the number of retransmissions etc.). Therefore, a 10-player, 24/7 server will consume 60 Gbyte/per month of bandwidth if all 10 players are connected the whole month.

Aqizzaaaaar... come baaaaaack. 

I wasted all my money making a non-functional oil tanker route.  What happens if you run out of money anyway?  Is there a way to restart a player?

[Jay]

Players in MP are just clients.

The company is what has all the money/power, and it can be composed of 0-10 players.
If you leave the game, you can choose to come back either within the old company, or as a new company.

[Bluerobin]

Yeah like jaybud said, you can just start a new company and I can kill the old one if you want. But... just so you know your debt's been paid off 

[Mephisto]

Who's that SOB that paused the game and ran? That would be me, sorry. I didn't want you guys to have to wait while I downloaded the map. With my connection, it would have taken a few minutes.

[Bluerobin]

Aww that's sad. We were curious about who it was though. I don't remember the openttdcoop server pausing when new people joined, though, so I feel like I should be able to fix that. But yeah, bed time for me. I'm gonna leave this game going as long as people want me to and if you want a restart, just let me know. I don't THINK it stops the game automatically...

[Eduren]

Wooo! Finally paid off my loans. Running off of pure profit at this point.

[garfield751]

multiplayer transport game eh? never had the chance to do this before i guess ill try it.

[Bluerobin]

So, the computer that was running the server restarted overnight apparently. I think I loaded from the right autosave, though. Sorry if something's not right, but it looks like roughly the right amount of time passed.

[Eduren]

So for some reason when I got on the server just now, my company was no longer password protected. Doesn't seem like anybody touched it, so unless it happens more often, I'm fine.

Also, twice now, I have left the server for a few hours and upon returning, all of my planes are missing. I find it hard to believe that they crash that frequently, especially because bluerobin still has 16 aircraft.

[Bluerobin]

Oh sorry about the password. When I reloaded it I forgot to mention that it apparently cleared passwords. No idea about your planes though. They start crashing a LOT when they get old, but I dunno how old yours were.

[Eduren]

Server went down

[Bluerobin]

Ah crap. Well... I'll go home and restart it. I was tired of being at work anyway 

[garfield751]

im loosing lots of money attempting to move coal when i found out passengers are much easier 

[Eduren]

Ah crap. Well... I'll go home and restart it. I was tired of being at work anyway 

No rush
