Bigdog Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 any word on hosting? my clan is interested in creating a dedicated server since it will most likely NOT be picked up by the zone.
Alegis Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 the zone? it wont use msn zone (if someone ever did) and actually every dedicated server should be picked up by at least ASE/Gamespy. As for hosting companies, no word on them yet, probably the major hosting ocmpanies will
Elite Jedi Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 I assume site like gamespy and http://www.ausgamers.com will have there own servers up.
Elite Jedi Posted July 13, 2004 Posted July 13, 2004 It will be like UT2004 random servers will always be up.
frayedends Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Exactly. I host public servers, and so do many large companies who also rent servers. This will drive sales of the client software, and expose more people to the game. The best job ever done was half-life, because in the beginning there were free server binaries which people picked up and hosted from everything from their home PC's to racks of them at datacenters. Tens of thousands of servers all running, league match play, clans, publics, privates, LAN centers, etc. This needs to happen, and soon. Server admins will need to begin testing stability of the server binaries ahead of the client release dates. Otherwise we'll have another issue like we had when Valve released "Steam" last fall. Anyone remember that?
