Gamemax has worked well for me - reducing my ping time by 100ms on average. I am happy to pay the R69 as this is similar to the cost of similar services from companies like YourFreedom, which I have found to be inferior for playing Wow.

Hi,
Please note that roosta is NOT part of the Gamemax team and although we see him assisting users with Gamemax issues and is positive about Gamemax(maybe we should employ him ;)) he is NOT on our team so please stop flaming the man about it, you are making us feel responsible. Roosta, we appreciate your assistance and your enthusiasm but would not want you to get into flame's on account of Gamemax.

On a brighter note the SSL certificates are uploaded and ready for use.

Another interesting fact you should know about is that telkom is currently having issues of sort and the whole saix network is under-performing, after some testing and assistance from some of our beta users(thanx ;)) we found that IS users are getting on average a 100ms lower ping than saix. This should balance out when telkom resolves the problem, but we thought you should be aware of the problem and if your friend has a better latency then you that could explain why.

To Trixanno:
Apologies to you but writing a program that will do what freecap/sockcap can do for an alpha/beta windows 7 would be way out of scope of this project, i hope you understand. Unfortunately running the absolute latest software/OS also has it's cons as well as pros. If we ever do come across a solution to your problem (first we need to get windows 7) we will notify you, but until then we wish you the best of luck and please if you do find the right tool/solution that is free let us know.

We appreciate all the feedback, and believe us we do take everything you say into consideration so please mail us with any feedback and comments you might have.

Best Regards
GameMax Team

Quite honestly it looks like RoosTa is from Gamemax and I cant stand this persons posts here.
I just don't get how you came to this conclusion? Are you seriously going to believe some guy who's makes 36.97 posts on average in a day? 2,083 since 1-12-2008? He practically lives on these forums.

To be brutally honest, this was all directed at Pitbull and his BS. It was all personal. In fact, this flamewar had actually nothing to do with gamemax (my apologies).

I admit, I was hot headed, I had a bad day, while quitting smoking and I over reacted a bit.

But for the love of God!

I DO NOT WORK FOR/REPRESENT GAMEMAX.

Whether you believe me or not, that's your prerogative.
Use gamemax or not, I don't give a *****.
If you want my opinion on my experience using gamemax, send me a PM, because I'm fed up with these BS threads.

Bla bla bla,

Put a sock in it. My post count has nothing to do with this. Maybe if you found a better paying job you would also have time to post on these forums instead of your boss (My job) Kick your arse to the curb :rolleyes:

Anyway. What has been said has been said. I will not use gamemax purely because of the cheap arse why they are running the show and charge top dollar for it. I would like to quote Gamemax rep
If we ever do come across a solution to your problem (first we need to get windows 7) we will notify you, but until then we wish you the best of luck and please if you do find the right tool/solution that is free let us know.

Now, pls.... be so kind as to take your stupid arse comments and stick them where the sun don't shine. I know for a fact that Gamemax numbers have taken a massive decline. But sure, you go ahead and carry them. All the best to them and you.... I honestly couldn't give a **** :D I'd rather just get a 4MB ADSL line and have sub 300 pings.

At least Telkom is open in the way they rape us.....

O another thing.

You started off by blasting the fact that people use it for months then call foul when it comes time to pay. Pls feel free to check how much I used it

Username: Beesbal

Now pls can you put your little charade into something more constructive ...

This thread is pretty hilarious :)

Pitbull you should read your remarks, for the most part early in the thread you're quibbling over the difference between 49R and 69R and then you make a nice little personal remark like "Maybe if you found a better paying job you would also have time to post on these forums instead of your boss (My job) Kick your arse to the curb"

Maybe if you found a better paying job, you wouldn't cry about 20R? :p

GameMax is a service. It takes money, time and effort and the people implementing it are obviously not going to invest those without wanting some form of return. Personally I prefer to keep using my unshaped account but several of my guildies trialed it out and were fairly happy with the service. No need to slate them like this until they are proven to offer bad service.

Getting pissed off about them not supporting Windows 7 yet, which is still in Beta is pretty laughable as well.

It's not about the money ;) That I can assure you... ask the people who know me. The Price vs Service is the problem. That is the reason I'm not using it... Period. I used it for about a week max. Thus I'm indicating to the people who plan on using it that it's not worth R 69 a month.

It's called an opinion, use it don't use it.

I have never slated them for one second. I was attacked for saying they are over priced by some kid called Roosta. Out of the blue. Now if he wants to make an issue out of my protest about the price he can just let me know and we'll make something of it.

He needs to grow some balls and realize people have an opinion that differs from his.

I used to use a VLAN service to play WOW about 2 years ago. The members name was CLIPSE who use to supply the service. I can't remember what is was called exactly, but I am sure it will ring a bell for someone.

I used to pay R55.00 for this service a month.

Just for comparison...

Hey Guys,

I tried your service for the first time the other day and am afraid it really did not make a difference.

I tried a normal shaped saix account
Unshaped saix account

and the each of these with the gamemax service.

Unfortunatlly the gamemax service made very little difference on the shaped account and actually made the unshaped account slower. I disconnected the proxy while in game to make sure that I was using it and when I did this it did disconnect my wow session. I am running Windows vista 64 bit. Was I doing something wrong or does the unshaped accounts work just as well?

QUESTION! sorry if this has already been asked and answered, but I could not see it anywhere. Will this service work on Local only Bandwidth?

why ?

and no it will not- this is primarily for international gaming, currently wow to lower the latencies...

Wel once international bandwidth is used up with downloads and other general stuff, then that would mean that I cannot play WOW anymore. I thought perhaps your server was local and then would tunnel through to EU servers...
