Flitterkill October 3, 2008 Share Flitterkill GC Board Member October 3, 2008 So, in a matter of a day or two, GC will be down to two CSS servers and that's it. UT is gone. TF2 is gone. COD is gone. We got room here and we are looking for what you want - let's hear it! -Fk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC October 3, 2008 Share VooDooPC Member October 3, 2008 This is tough, finding a game a lot of people have and can play regularly. Almost all games with dedicated servers are FPS games, and how many FPS games can a person be into at a single time? We could do weekly game nights. A night where we get together and play a single game we know we have. I know people out there still have Flatout, TF2, CoD, UT, and there's probably a bunch of other games out there people have we don't know about. We could announce them ahead of time so people who have the game have time to install it and get ready. It will also only be for one night so we don't need to support a whole server which could possible die in a matter of months or even days and it would be announced ahead of time so we could get an idea of how many will show up.

stutters October 3, 2008 Share stutters GC Alumni October 3, 2008 i'll ask it a different way, or ask a different question: are there games that you're regularly playing outside of .gc that we can support, either directly (with a server) or indirectly (with some other service)? i know some people play a lot of games a little. we're looking to hear from people that play a primary game a lot. console, pc, whatever.

stutters October 3, 2008 Share stutters GC Alumni October 3, 2008 If you could get your hands on a private WoW server you would be laughing all the way to the bank. i don't even know where to start looking - can you point me in the right direction? we've got the resources to pull this off, just nobody on the board is openly a WoW player...

Shazz October 3, 2008 Share Shazz Member October 3, 2008 Private WoW servers are permitted in Canada but not in the U.S.. I personally like playing my PS3. If there are some in the community that are playing PS3 games online I would like to frag or race with them. One thing that is nice about the consoles is that there is no need for purchasing a server. However the community aspect of it (clans, guilds and such) are huge. It just depends on what game most gcers like to play. And if that game is popular within this coalition of gamers..I would buy it just for that reason alone.

YoMamma October 3, 2008 Share YoMamma Member October 3, 2008 I mainly play TF2 these days.... However, Left 4 Dead is coming out next month and I would look into a server for that. I don't know if I personally will be able to run the game, but it's the "next big thing" from Valve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayfarer October 3, 2008 Share wayfarer Member October 3, 2008 You have any links to that Shazz? All I'm getting in my search are shady sites that offer you to come play on they're private servers, and I'm thinking it's somehow cheaper to just pay blizz the monthly charge lol.

MrDuke October 3, 2008 Share MrDuke Member October 3, 2008 Hmmm... maybe GC needs to start a bidness. Where's Cujo when we need him? Srsly though, if it's cost effective we'll take a hard look. Do private servers really offer that much of a performance difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean October 3, 2008 Share Unclean Member October 3, 2008 Can someone explain the concept of a private WoW server to me? Wouldn't the server population be quite limited, making raids/pvp difficult? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do private servers really offer that much of a performance difference?i don't think that's the point. here's me showing how little i know about wow: i think you have to pay a monthly subscription to play on the public (blizzard?) servers. a private server is an alternative to that, but i'm assuming most private servers charge something to access.

ZeroDamage October 3, 2008 Share ZeroDamage Member October 3, 2008 I do not think the TF2 server was given much of a chance. I've even played TF2 once with Norgman recently if you can believe it. If that can happen, then anything can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stutters October 3, 2008 Share stutters GC Alumni October 3, 2008 folks, at this point we're just gathering ideas. please save the "i don't think this would work because..." posts for another thread. if you have a game to contribute, please post. gonna trim these other posts so we can keep this easy to follow. thanks!

VooDooPC October 3, 2008 Share VooDooPC Member October 3, 2008 (edited) The problem with a private World of Warcraft server, or any private MMORPG server is that the game is emulated and generally very buggy. I played the WoW emulator about 2 years ago and almost nothing worked right. The only emulated MMORPG I have played that has almost perfect emulation is Ultima Online because it's been out for over 10 years and they have been emulating it since it was released. Edit: Oops, is this a "I don't think this would work because..." post? Edited October 3, 2008 by VooDooPC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not all just join a server and start a .gc guild there. there is alot of players on a pve realm already.baelgun,ally,pve and they merged with crisp.i think cuz there wasn't enough gc players on to keep the guild active for like 25 man instances? my son and i are going to start shadowpriests there with refer a friend.
