Kruten October 8, 2005 Share Kruten Member October 8, 2005 If you haven't already heard, we're going to need a private server to start scrimming. I need some prefered locations that will benefit us the most. Your choices are: Chicago, Los Angeles, San Jose, Seattle, New York, and Dallas. In this case, I think Seattle, San Jose, and LA are already excluded, since we primarily live in the East and Mideast. Next issue is how to pay for the server. Something like a donation system would work better for those who can't pitch in a flat amount every month, though that doesn't mean you don't have to. The server will cost around $40/month, and depending on how many members will donate, one person wouldn't even have to give $5 every month.

Girlgamer October 8, 2005 Share Girlgamer Member October 8, 2005 Sounds like you got it all together Kru, and I would definately donate whatever I can... I don't know about you guys, but Chicago or New York sound like the best choices for me. I would prefer Chicago myself since I live in Michigan, but New York wouldn't be too bad...

Kruten October 9, 2005 Author Share Kruten Member October 9, 2005 A2G. The few others I was thinking about trying out were either 66 tick or costed more than a2g. Still don't get why it seems to be a flat rate for it though. It doesn't charge per slot with private servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOWC is $20/month and A2G is $44/month, so even if we don't stay with AOW, we save a few bucks and can still switch over to a2g. Anyone for that instead?

Girlgamer October 9, 2005 Share Girlgamer Member October 9, 2005 20 bucks a month sounds good, we can surely get enough donations or whatever for that. And if it turns out to be bad, then like you said we can switch over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaM2 October 9, 2005 Share akaM2 Member October 9, 2005 http://velocity-servers.net/specials.php I dont like turning people away from A2G but they are one of the premier hosting services and when your just starting, you only need a place to practice, lots of teams have servers so when you play them in a match you can just play on there high priced server. But if you do go with A2G, tell them M2 sent you through fatty I gave them fatty and if fatty helps you then its like me sending you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an extra $10/month for 66 tick and an extra $20/month for 100. So it would just be $40/month for it, really no difference besides maybe quality of the server, which we won't know unless we get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty October 9, 2005 Share Fatty GC Founder October 9, 2005 If your team is composed of GC members and you have at least one or two admins, you can use the Deathmatch server in Cleveland to practice for free, if you're gonna follow M2's suggestion and play matches and scrims as a visitor. (m2, you snake....) I don't care who you tell him or what, i'm not after referrals..just looking for people to take care of people. Tell him you're from the GC community....and give em the snake's name if he's looking to apply a referral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlutKrieger October 12, 2005 Share Guest BlutKrieger Guests October 12, 2005 Since I live in Wisconsin, the server in Chicago would be great for me. Also i think i could try and pitch in a few bucks if needed for the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruten October 12, 2005 Author Share Kruten Member October 12, 2005 Ok, the server will be in Chicago, no arguing about that since I know almost all of us live near there. We're going to start with AOWC, and possibly just use them for a month or two, depending if it's any better or worse than A2G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
