Slaughter, I quite liked the HC mosh pit mode last night. Is it going to remain so, or are you still planning on shelving the server?
 
Well, for now I will probably be shelving it. If there are enough people who want to play on that server I will consider keeping it.

The only problem with it, is that it keeps disconnecting everyone on the server at random intervals. I am considering (if I keep it) asking them for a rebuild.

The mosh pit is only available when a admin is online (for some reason GS/3arch) doesn't allow you to rotate game modes on HC... Not sure why.

But yeah, I also enjoyed it. Pity you were on the losing side more often than not! ;)
 
Acid0, I was there for a short while until the whiners started then I left for the safety of my Q server! :)

I think you can do that from the control panel @ my.gameservers.com?

That's weird. The RCON tool needs major work and I'm eagerly awaiting PROMOD. so the clannies can begin.

Oh, and please stop projecting! ;)
 
If my 384 Uncapped Shaped MWeb line is causing problems, I can do one of two things:

Upgrade to a 384 Uncapped Unshaped line or,

Upgrade to a 512 Uncapped Shaped line,

Which would everyone recommend?? It's just a test, but it's worth a try.

Jip, you can request it from there. You can access Rcon from in game as well, which is pretty cool considering it takes AGES for me to alt+tab to and from the Rcon tool...

LOL.. Not projecting, just stating facts!
 
@Bl1zz4rd- I wouldn't bother with the 512 unless you have a 512 line (which is a waste of money, do the sums, 512 for R326=R652/1mbps, on 4mbps R413 =R103.25/1mbps)
So stick to 384 or upgrade to 4mbps, but if you going to stck to 384, go 384 unshaped... It doesn't guarantee full speed 24/7 as their network is up to s#%t atm, but you'll be better off than say the shaped guys...
 
my 2c on the servers.

There are way too many servers currently. And only a few that play.
Due to the peering issue I can only connect to CPT with decent pings , but even in there are lists of servers most unused, and the odd 2-3 servers that is full.

So, it is nice to have your own server, but maybe in the 200 clans, and 150 players:p, should you not try and consolidate at least a few of them?
 
Spyk3r - 4MB costs R900 a month, so, uhm..... not gonna happen (that's why I can only go to either 512 shaped or 384 unshaped, they cost the same)
 
Bl1zz4rd- beieve me, I know what it costs (I'm paying over 1000 pm for all my internet)... All I was saying is go unshaped 384. Don't bother with shaped :D 512...

Get more ram...? ;)

I don't think going to an unshaped account is going to solve your problem. You will have a better chance going for a 512 connection in solving your problem, but fsck only knows why Telkom has priced this connection so high. I would rather go for a 4mb connection and go back to capped account, seeing as they are pretty cheap now.
 
i would love to play on a server with no last stand rule and Hardcore, last stand is bugged to fk, absolute rubbish that u can shoot a guy with over three ak bullets and he drops and its almost like it stops the normal flow when the noobs last stand kicks in and the one shot from pistol manages to get through whilst the ak bullets fail, some players are impossible to kill they jump across screen skipping frames using lightfoot pro, not sure if this is an overload or superior net meets inferior net that causes it, game is still buggy and more irritating than fun
