anasky Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 I've seen several topics with: Looking for Hoster for GameX.Well, I'm thinking of making a hosting service at like 2gb RAM, around 320gb HD and a high internet speed for these prices:> Costs of Player Slots (all prices are in EURO):> For less then 10 people: 50cent each slot> For 10 to 20 people: 40cent each slot> For 21 to 30 people: 35cent each slot> For 31 to 40 people: 30cent each slot> For 41 to 50 people: 25cent each slot> For more then 50 people: 20cent each slotJust tell me if you like it or not. F.e.: would you choose for 8 or 10 guys? Both are 4 euro. Would you choose for 40guys for 12euro or 51 guys for 10.2euro?* * *Anasky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrNova Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Cost of player slots?What is that mean exactly?I'd comment, but I have no idea what your method is supposed to be.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anasky Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 MAX_PLAYERSEach +1 is a player slotF.e. MAX_PLAYERS: 5 means you pay for 5 player slots.Get it? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codemeister1990 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 well I'm gonna host my own…>.>you may find a couple people...sh*ts expensive thoughmaybe I just say that because I'm poor though :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anasky Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 ok lolBut if you count everything out, you can have 51 people for 10euro 20cent, and 40 people for 12euro, these are reasonable prices, if you realise that I have to pay 30-40 month just for getting the server running (power, purchase) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codemeister1990 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 which is fine…if you have a subscription fee for your game as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anasky Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Yea, or nice donations :POf course, I'd prefer a free one aswell, but its still better then purchasing one of 30/month while you can have it with me (using one of 30, trying to earn it back by small fees) for 10 :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vrage Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 @anasky:> MAX_PLAYERS> > Each +1 is a player slot> F.e. MAX_PLAYERS: 5 means you pay for 5 player slots.> Get it? :PLook, i could extend max players to 6000, but ultimately only a few will turn up online, so you'll have to give people a 1 month trial and check how many people showed up online on the game on an average/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowwulf Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 well thats why you start with a minimum that you expect then work your way up as needed.if you purchase for 15 and get 50… the only way to know is by him glancing at the server player lists...so if you are getting more than you pay for he will either discontnue you and/or request you pay more.

DrNova Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Sounds like a poor concept to me, for many reasons I wont go into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inception Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Seems a bit complex, seeing as a lot of problems may occur. But it's not unlike other hosting companies with websites/palaces/games. Free hosts are hard to come by, you usually don't find them, that or they are insanely picky on who they will host (Which can be totally understandable). But it may work out, good luck :P- Inception.

Godlord Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 @V-Rage:> My work computer can own yours xDComparing a server with a workstation is one of the lamest things I've ever seen, epic fail for you.> F.e.I don't think that is a correct abbreviation, it's e.g. (exempli gratia), as far as I know.Regards, Goddie, the Irresistible.

Guest Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 i.e. is that is if I remember correctly. Looking at the Wikipedia its Latin name is id est, but then again I doubt many people care. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codemeister1990 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 wow…background of the forums just changed :Othey should have done it at 12:01 AM...anyways, I'll always host a game myselfIf I couldn't host it, I'd get a friend to or somethingI was hesitant on even applying to a free host (which I ended up not doing)I figure its more convenient and more comforting knowing I have complete control (I'm not a control freak, it is something I've put like...1000 hours into). It's hard to trust a complete stranger with that kinda data.So I'd definitely never PAY for some stranger to host my game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anasky Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Well, yea, but I've been around here for some time, and if you don't send the source, it's useless to me :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
