what ever happend to this server.. with uber custom maps??

May 30, 2004, 3:41 pm
I miss it too.

In the end, the map selection wasnt the best, cause some maps were really unplayable, but still it was something different and there were gr8 maps too. Re-launch, re-launch, re-launch,...

Bring them back with passwords again. That'll keep the numbers down.

Aww, man, that bites. DNA used to be a place for the more experienced to meet. Well, at least when it had a pass. I'll miss that server greatly, especially since now there arn't any servers like it.

how much does it cost to keep a server, much like dna's, up and running monthly?

Kazuki
May 30, 2004, 5:34 pm
Well, it depends if it is a 10mbit or 100mbit server. I want to know as well. Seeing as how I'm 14, I'm allowed by the law to work part-time for minimum wage. It shouldn't cost too much for a server monthly. I think it also depends on how often it is up.

Wait, you might have come onto something here.

People donate a small amount of money a month to keep the servers up. In return, they receive the server password. Keeps the Soldiers out, and keeps the servers up.

Unofficial Input from SoulSnipa:

Theres always the option of donating to U13. If the server gets 78$ more it can afford new processors. The speeds will increase and there will be two servers running. One with custom maps (w/ or w/o stats is undecided) and passworded, and the other will be completely public with regular maps and stats. So if you guys all donate, then you could have your server there.

Official info from FliesLikeABrick:

I am and have been accepting donations towards my server, Ultimate 13 Soldat. These donations are going towards buying 2 new processors for the computer that currently runs my soldat server, webserver, and other miscellaneous things(TS server etc).

When they are upgraded, the old 2 processors will go into an identical server that will run another soldat server, most likely full time. It will run fulltime with custom maps and a password, and can also be borrowed (not rented...free) for clan wars and other private games.

As he said, i am $78 (USD) short of my goal for the new processors, and look forward to meeting it. I can accept regular postal mail donations, donations of used/new computer parts, and paypal donations. The computer parts are sold on ebay and then the money is used for the server. It would only run soldat, no other servers, resulting in no CPU load-related lag
If this sounds good to you, consider it a little more and support what you hold dear.

with donations, the normal U13 public player limit would most likely also be raised to 10 or 12. Then there would also be a new server computer using the old processors. It would run custom maps and private games, and always have a password. I'm not asking for ppl to tell me their opinins of U13 anyways, im just offering you guys a solution to your little mishap with the DNA servers.

What makes U13 and Dna different? All I see is the name "DNA" and "U13", plus U13 has stats. I may be wrong but I think the speeds will be the same. The only difference is that DNA gets more publicity and is the classic "soldat" server. But thats all about the community, things can change....

If you're old enough to work for minimum wage, you could get a part time job during the summer to be able to pay for DSL. SBC Yahoo! is a VERY nice DSL service and it's only $26.95 a month. I don't know if they are in service in Aussie though. =| The speed is really very nice. If you can afford that, and if U13 gets better processors, than you will definately be able to play comfortabally in U13.

Heres an idea - the people who donate money (a certain amount of money) should become remote admins. This would ensure they can join the server when they want, even if its full.

Kazuki
June 1, 2004, 2:08 pm
Thanks, CracK. Just an addition to Stalky's idea, I think they would have to donate a certain amount of money to be admin. Five or maybe even ten dollars sounds good. Because what if everyone sends a dollar just to become admin? U13 would crash everyday because of all the admins joining.

FliesLikeABrick
June 3, 2004, 6:40 am
well, with the new processors it probably wouldnt crash nor lag :D but yes, a minimum for admin would be a good idea just to keep me sane. (assuming i use the idea)

June 3, 2004, 7:04 am
lol, Well, I was overexaggerating, but you know what I mean. Having a server of 10 people and about 10 remote admins, it WOULD lag, now wouldn't it? At least one bit? <_<

The thread is yet to be refined, and I will clean it up once it gets moved to the proper forum. The maps in the server's rotation will also be refined once the server becomes more popular, so that it more closely meets the expectations of the DNA server.
