Well, I was just throwing the idea out there for ideas sake. It would be fun to have a single place where all the B12'ers can go meet up and play together without the hassel of having others join us when we don't want them to. Its just an idea.
I would only vote yes and even pay for it if yanlin is perma-banned from it.
But I wouldn't get to stab him. ;)

You have a point there. But what if he starts dominating us? Man, I'd have to quit the server in shame. :(

Now imagine if all those imaginary bucks go to Toady in donations instead... It'd make the next release much faster and Toady's life much better.

Long story short, I have no problems with servers.

P.S. Also don't fool yourself, make "No" and "No not right now" in a single option :D.

Huh, why would we want to ban Yanlin? He's a fair enough guy.

Anyhoo, seems the ideas getting some support from others. So yeah, what should the next step be then?

Decide on a location for the server and see what hosts are available there. I think east coast is probably the best place for the majority of us, unless there are more of us in europe.

Yeah, seems its better value for money to get an Americano server than a European, although there is a deal where if you have 32 or more players it'll only cost £1 per slot instead of the usual £1.50.

But if you lot help find one, and I'm guessing it'd be better for an American one than european, what do people think?

Personally, go for economy over performance. I used to play Quake 2 over AOL with a 400 ms ping, and I dominated servers with the railgun. You can get used to 200 again, and you'll love it.

That said, I currently have my Steam server filter set to <50, and it shames me every time I log in.

Normally I'd be willing to chip in (as long as it was split 4+ ways. I'm poor.) but chances are these are all for games I'd have zero chance of playing due to my low end graphics, and that depresses the hell out of me.

The only problem I see with this is getting enough people to play on the server. If it was a 24 people server (which is best in my opinion), almost half of DFC had to be playing to fill it. I don't know how easily new servers get random people joining, but the name of the server probably should be something that doesn't deter people.

So, no "Jreengus Occurred".

You also have to remember that it wont just be for us, I have alot of friends that play TF2 so we should be ok on that side. We have about 60 members and theres usually 20/25 on at most times. I know everyone doesn't have TF2 but still we have alot who do.
