Greetings All

A Test Gaming Server is up!

Server is running CS1.6 Dedicated Server
12 player limit
local1.servegame.com:27015

We want to test latency, fps, speed, lag, & so on for the upcoming -[Open G]- Gaming service.

Once youve played, please post your analisis here.
Include Access Package & ISP & amount of ppl that were online (So play regularly)

Thanx

@stormwalkerza - any chance of hosting a Counter Strike Source server? Maybe even a 100 tickrate server? SGS is becoming a really dodgey place and I need good servers.
 
@Angellus - CS & CSS will be the first servers we shall add, reason were starting with cs is that the dedicated server files are only 500mb, & were still downloading the DS files for source (its about 2gb big & the content servers from valve send at about 12k/s :-/ )

The Planned Open G gaming service will be running on the IS backbone via the OpenWeb Infrastructure.

We mainly want to test IS dial-up, dsl, etc. accounts to the server but also from other isps & backbones so we can analize the latency, ping, bandwidth etc so as to plan for further game server rollout and bandwidth allocation.

Were looking at 2 main services, Free for all game servers as well as subscription game services.

Our first rollout will be the Free gaming servers.

The subscription game services will ensure a higher quality gaming service with lower contention ratios as well as providing servers for the latest games.

We are in the "Market Research" but are already getting additional game servers ready for release shortly pending the above server test.

If you have further q's, just shout else pm myself for access details.

nice to hear this... other than CS 1.6 and CS:S what are your plans to cater for us gamers in the future? BF2 will definetly be a hot commodity and maybe FEAR MP and Quake 4 soon?
 
@useless - Definately!

Our main concern for a BF2 server is that its a Bandwidth hog - we shall need a 7mb/s connection for a 32 player server and 15mb/s for a 64 player server and to make it worth while, we shall need a few servers running.

As the current connectivity options become more varied with higher bandwidth connections etc, we shall beta test the higher bandwidth servers and once were happy with the performance, we make the server public.

Suggestions for Game servers are most welcome!
 
Local Guildwars server, maybe, please? Or any other plans for a RPG server?
 
WOW local server is on the list

As for Guild Wars...
"Question: Can I host a dedicated Guild Wars server?

Answer: No you can not! And you don't need to. Guild Wars runs on a massive serversystem courtesy of ArenaNet and NCsoft. The moment you fire up Guild Wars, you are logged on to the main servers."

So i shall contact them on this regard.
 
Gamespy Stats
CS - 25020 servers, 48568 players
CSS - 15566 servers, 36753 players
BF2 - 6447 servers, 21307 players

X-Fire Stats (in player minutes)
World of Warcraft 1,250,611
Counter-Strike Source 879,478
Battlefield 2 506,150
Counter-Strike 1.6 427,805

Steam Stats: (Servers|Players|Player Minutes)
Counter-Strike 117,787 54,912 3.722 billion
Counter-Strike: Source 33,378 23,242 1.178 billion

Alakhazam alone has 754,773 wow users who are tracked ...

So its a tough call ...

WOW is tops, then CS followed by bf2 ...
 
Just did some sums - BF2 is THE bandwidth hog of the centuary...

If i did my sum correctly based on 20k/s average

1 minute = 1.2mb
1 hour = 72mb

If your running a 64 player server with the ave server usage of 40 players:
1 hour = 2.88Gb
1 day = 69.12GB
1 month = 2073GB

Now thats a bill i dont wanna get ...
 
ummm i was talking in south africa

not international

and you cant show how many hours of cs has been play bf 2 hasnt been around long

lol i see your point

but then why are testing game server?

i mean ppl wont pay for server when sgs offer them free
 
Lol - kewl ...

"but then why are testing game server?"

Sentance doesnt sound correct but if i understand it properly, If you read the first post we wanna analise IS potential for an IS based Game server, There will be free servers, and some subscription based ones.

Dont worry about the subscriptions based ones, it has been requested and is mainly a "filter" for a better gaming experiance & upgrading the servers ...
 
Don't have 1.6 but have source.. will come around then for sure ;)
 
My advice would NOT to set-up a WoW server unless you want Blizzard creeping on your back.

And here's another vote for BF2!!!

CSS are for l33t kids.

BF uses too much BW and with the hard caps it wont be worth it.
 
Well there is still hope with SAOL's offering.

And Storm_Walker_ZA got his calculation wrong. It uses more like 35-50MB/hour than 72MB.
 
Hmmmm, what about a good old Quake 3 server ??? or Quake 3 RA / TA
oh. oh. oh. and a UT2004 server. :D

but will try the CS1.6 server.
Still downloading the 1.6 patch. as the fresh install is still on 1.2 :mad:
