But darn it costs a lot. Ahh in a few years technology will advance even further and maybe servers will be much cheaper.

It should be possible to get it at a reasonable price, especially if I offer them some free ad space on the site..
I believe that if they could show their product to 10-12,000 visitors pr day for free, then we should be able reduce the server price a bit..

I'll try to look into it this weekend.

What's the total estimated cost?

Redleg · February 17th, 2005

It depends on several factors..

The server speed/connection, but most important (and costly) part is number of slots (connections) allowed, and if they are public or private...

aargh...I was looking for numbers

I'd say that for a start 32 slots is a decent number...plus I actually don't know what's cheaper-private or public (logic says public but dunno

)

Redleg · February 18th, 2005

From what I've seen it's from $6-$9 pr slot/month, and private slots are cheaper than public ones.
The reason is that public ones can be full 24/7, but pivate slots will only be in use when members with passwords are online, so the server load will be smaller.

And I agree that 24-32 is a decent number.

Just a suggestion, but private sounds best. Easy to keep it to members here only if that's your wish. I'd certainly want to join in although I have no idea how long I'd be able to play before I would be unavailable due to military service.

I've sent mails to a few game server providers now, asking if they could be interested in trading advertising space for BF942 game slots..

Cool redleg keep us posted

BTW does bf1942 have a friends list?

Big_Z · February 19th, 2005

You guys are forgetting the most important thing, location. Not everyone is going to ping well but if I do I'll buy BF.

Ahh your right. He's in Norway isn't he.
