ParanoidDrone Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 In other news... The lag is getting intolerable. Also the Pope is Catholic, etc. I know whining on the forums won't do much, but it's pretty much the only issue we have right now. And I don't think we want a lagging server for the Engineer Update.

Bleck Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 yeah it was pretty unbearable tonight there were at least five, maybe six times where the entire server just froze for twenty seconds during dustbowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XeroZohar Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I'm guessing the lag issues are why nobody's on tonight. Which is unusual for a weekend in my experience. (also, hi gaiz, I'm on the forums finally ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireSlash Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ping test time! Note: Ping in tf2 will start high and settle down after a few minutes. So give it a moment.

SporkNinjaDraken Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 yeahhh... I'm afraid I'll have to stop playing on the OCR servers if they're moved to a place that's too ping unfriendly... I can deal with 180 just about (I had to before) but any higher than that I'm going to have to find somewhere else. sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireSlash Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Also, how would you guys feel about reserved slots for 1 or 2 bucks a month. (This would be a total wipe of reserved slots) in an effort to pay for a higher end server. How many of you would sign up for that with the understanding that it's to fund the server?

SporkNinjaDraken Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 depending upon where the server is and my ping on it I'd probably pay for my reserved slot I was going to originally then I got one for free and I was like "Oh well that's nice" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would there be any advantages of a reserve slot other than avoiding "Kicked due to reserved slot" messages? Such as being able to use certain server commands or additional hats, etc? If there was, I would totally be in for $1-2 a month. (Just think... the suckers playing WoW pay ~$15/mo and have to buy their updates! $2/mo is very reasonable) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just think... the suckers playing WoW pay ~$15/mo and have to buy their updates! $2/mo is very reasonable) Chances are, if we do move back to charging for reserve slots, we're going to restructure which commands are available to reserved slots and which are available to the public... but don't be surprised if reserved slots keep the ability to votescramble and things like that without it being public. On another subject, I've scheduled some events to hopefully help us get people to test the three servers. All 3 are scheduled at 9pm EDT / 6pm PDT / 1am UTC. I realize this time is inconvenient for those of you in Europe, but this is more or less to test if the server remains responsive when it is full. Tonight's is on 173.12.223.108:27015, with the server name "OCReMix TF2 Lag relief zone [http://www.ocremix.org]" Sunday's is on 174.34.135.187:27015, with the server name " The Vanilla Pod - GamerNation.org" Monday's is on 72.14.190.209:27015, with the server name "OTHER TEAM IS BABIES! | TF2Stats.net" Edit: I also fixed a long-standing bug with the MOTD. If your resolution is too low to see the entire thing at once, a vertical scrollbar should now appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atmuh Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 120 60 50 there definitely shouldnt be a US server where people in the US got over 60 ping thats just silly Well, considering you're in the UK and these servers are further west than what we're using now... There was a reason that when the server initially started way back over a year ago that Bahamut wanted the server to be in more of a central location in the US and it should stay there. and id pay whatever we shouldve never stopped charging for reserved slots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushfire Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 and id pay whatever we shouldve never stopped charging for reserved slots I too support this. It would easily cover upkeep costs with just the real regulars who have and make use of their reserve slots, and it 24 bux a year isn't that bad either.

Bahamut Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 I also support going back to charging for reserve slots - for one, I think it will go back to being more focused on those of the community interested in supporting the server, but also my financial situation took a turn for the worse lately, which compromises my ability to pay for the server fully. I am ready to discuss this whenever anyone else is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Last minute change of plans... due to users already having lag problems with the server we were using tonight, we're swapping Monday's server to today: 72.14.190.209:27015, with the server name "OTHER TEAM IS BABIES! | TF2Stats.net" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
