gaming feedback needed

Fellow Unrealers,


Hi,

I wanted to let you guys know that I've helped an ISP add some new products/services that are gaming related that you might be interested in.

I've geared the typical service stuff to accomodate our type of needs in terms of either hosting or game hosting etc. (I used to work with Alienware.com so you might understand my background)

One of their first products are full-root access game servers.

I'd like to know what you think of the package and pricing and any other ways you feel an ISP could give you more specialized service for future developments!

So far the response has been pretty good. I'm only messaging a select group of people that this could benefit to get their impressions.

Thanks!

I agree

That's a good deal...... the price is really for the bandwidth (1.5/1.5) and yep I agree it would be best for clans for sure!

I'm checking out those sites now...

Also ICe cube your personal site was nicely designed! brb

CLANSERVERS.NET REVIEW

Hi,

When I say "unlimited game sessions" it means you can have any number of players that you want. To translate that in clanserver or starship language that means you don't order by how many guys you want. (they launch a quake server "session" and set the number of "maxplayers" to 16 or whatever)

I find that too limiting. What about voice com? What about special launches?

So let's say you get one of these initial setup servers with Discgroup... I was able to successfully run 2-3 HL TFC servers at 18 guys each on a 400 MHz. What could you do with 1 Ghz and a bucket of RAM?

Btw....any of these games support multiprocessor?

Ok....now for the other sites (which I think are great too and I might borrow some ideas from)

Re: Clanservers.net/Starshipgames.net

I like the fact that you get webspace...it has a nice all in one feature to it.

Discgroup should offer that as well... but I prefer more MB.

All their packages are fine except one thing:

THE WHOLE IDEA BEHIND THE DISCGROUP GAME SERVER IS FULL CONTROL!



Give the gamers their darn server! I don't believe in giving people half-arsed products. Personally, I like to have options, performance and freedom to do as I please.

You can only do that with a dedicated box. Sometimes I play and have Roger Wilco on 24/7...I contact my family in California and talk via the headset.... then we "ghost buster retro game" in the new HL dmc that Valve did.

Pretty cool...!

Anyways I appreciate your feedback! Whatever you guys share with me I can put in the future products. Discgroup just started this new service....... skie's the limit as they say!

Can you move it there?

These guys have been working hard to build the infrastructure to handle it monetariliy and architecturally.....

Didn't happen over night
