Title: Help us rent a BF:BC2 server with RN Gaming!
Post by: Czar on December 10, 2010, 08:36:35 AM
*EDIT* Here is the link to submit your payment (http://www.gameservers.com/clanpay/?clanid=fb8fab901c74bea82decfd4f4194d675)

Gents,
   RN Gaming has purchased (rented?) a BF:BC2 server to use at their upcoming New Year's LAN party. They have discussed the possibility of teaming up with FITES to rent out a 6 month block of this server for continued mutual enjoyment. If you've gamed on the recent weekends with FITES and RN Gaming, you know the epic amount of fun that ensues nightly. Peep this vid for a small taste of it:

BC2 Server Stress Test with FITES (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhBYZnYv9lM#ws)

Anywho. We're trying to get at least 10 people together between both LAN groups to help fund a 6 month block. The cost comes in at $162 and the more people we get signed up, the cheaper it'll be for each person. For those not too stellar at math, 10 people would make the cost per person $16.20.

The next billing cycle of the server begins Jan 2nd so we'd like to see funds in place the week after Christmas (to capitalize on that Christmas money you just picked up).

With the new Vietnam mod/game coming out this`ll be a perfect time to have our own server that we can manage and feel at home on while we gather and frag our comrades.

Please indicate your interest in contributing to this large amount of win! Admins will be in place from both RN Gaming and FITES with a rotating schedule of server modes the map runs.

Those that contribute money are guaranteed a slot to play as pubbers will be kindly..er...booted to make room for you. :)

Right before Christmas, we`ll tally up who all we have and announce the final cost per person for the 6 month block. I`ll update the list below as replies come in. There is a similar thread over at RN Gaming (http://rngaming.net/forums/m/386470/viewthread/373669-battlefield-bad-company-2-server) that I'm monitoring and will combine both lists.

I'd be interested in contributing if you can get closer to the 10 people limit that you want. 'cause I don't want to have to drop much more than a WOW subscription to have our own server. But with the size of the group we usually get playing on the server now, I don't think getting enough people on board is going to be too difficult. Plus having a guaranteed slot is a big plus in my book. OK just count me in I talked myself into it.

I would be interested in helping out. Just one question since I live in Scranton how would i get this money to you guys. Paypal?

Post by: Czar on December 10, 2010, 10:07:38 AM
Yeah there`ll be a special link later to paypal the dough to that`ll go right to the game server account.
Title: Re: Help us rent a BF:BC2 server with RN Gaming!
Post by: gri3v on December 10, 2010, 11:21:10 AM
We will setup a link under a seperate page on our RN Gaming website that will go to the Clan Pay paypal option for the server, and you guys can setup the same link under your site as well if you like.  I will provide the link to Czar via Steam / IRC as I don't have access to it at the moment unfortunately.     

As Czar has indicated, all that help us pay to keep the server going will be given a reserved slot and room WILL be made for you anytime you want to play should the server be full.  I personally always have the BF:BC2 Command Center admin tool running on my other monitor, so I can definately ask pubbers to leave and remove / kick / ban as needed.  This same full Admin power will be given to a few FITES guys as well.

For the rotation of gameplay modes, settings, maps, etc. for the server, I was thinking that we could do a weekly or bi-weekly rotation.  Deception had indicated just one night, but I think it would be more fair to have a whole week, including the weekend to swap out server configs, preferences, etc between RN Gaming and FITES.  So Monday to Monday, FITES can have whatever modes, settings...anything they want with their own server config, and then the following Monday to Monday RN Gaming will have their config...or something along those lines.  Whatever you guys want to do.

We are also VERY open to any changes that anyone would like to be seen made to the server.  I know that the server is technically under my name but we can run it however we all would like to see it run.  Just last night I took away the Kill Cam by request and this has already been a positive change, so we can continue to collaborate and make any kind of tweaks / changes as we see fit as it goes along :)

If we could somehow get this thing into the lan in Feb i could almost guarantee 3 or 4 more people chip in.

We cannot get this server or any sanctioned EA Games BC2 server physically at our lan. I've talked with some higher ups and they stated it is simply not done.

Post by: gri3v on December 21, 2010, 12:33:18 PM
As Czar already pointed out, its not really possible to have a dedicated server physically at the LAN.  It sucks that they don't have built in support to host via LAN, but I guess with DRM and piracy and whatnot, more and more games are taking out the built in LAN support of old in favor of online only. 

We are preparing for our upcoming LAN for New Year's and we will let you guys know how the server holds up for us.  I have read that BFBC2 can be a problem for more than 10 people on the same network, as random disconnects will occur when more people join.  We MAY have found a solution to this however.  I found a few threads online that suggest creating a shortcut to the BFBC2 exe from your steam directory, and then in the shortcut launch properties add in +clientport 27018 to the target line and just change the last two digits for each person so that everyone has their own unique port they are using.  I know its kind of a pain to do that for a large amount of people, but this past weekend I had a few friends over for a mini LAN and we tested this out and it did seem to work for us...whereas before we were getting the disconnects with just 3 of us on the same network.

From what we have seen...once you get everyone in the server, it seems to be fine, its just sometimes initially getting everyone in that can be an issue.

You guys are obviously more than welcome to use the server however you like for your LAN coming up in Feb.  I will most likely be there along with a few RN guys and we can try and help out with it in any way that we can.  I will post another thread here after the LAN to let you know how the server was after our LAN.

I had already told Czar and Decepticon, but It looks like GameServers decided to bill me on the 26th, even though the full month cycle should have been on Jan 2nd.  I can pay the amount it took out for the month so that it doesn't screw up the donations that everyone else is putting in.  Just wanted to let everyone know.

Hey dudes, I've been MIA over the past week or so with friends & family up here in PA -- hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and are excited for the imminent New Year!  I know gri3v states above that GameServers billed prematurely and he chose to counter this by paying for January :angel: but I'm still going to chip in more than $13.50 (1/12th share) because not many RN Gaming members are contributing plus I just love the concept of owning a server with you guys...

I threw in $40 so once the remaining 4 guys pay (@ $13.50 / person), the balance will be over $162 and gri3v can then submit for 6 months which will cover us up through July!

We should do this with RN Gaming / FITES but on a huge scale! (http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/27269/modules/forum/attachments/106492208-4_1297374105.jpg) 8)
(then maybe someone can photoshop in the dragon from cataclysm to make it extra epic)

Unfortunately, us FITES guys don't have the attention span to set up anything like that.

Hey guys, that was a fun session tonight (esp. for those who stayed the whole 3 hours!)

Haven't made a video for awhile so the quality isn't the best, but if you 720p its not too bad; wish I captured more footage... like some of the crazy fire fights when we played through Arica Harbor, Heavy Metal, and Oasis, but here is a quick snippet of Port Valdez and some Panama *cue Van Halen* :2thumbsup:

Sorry to dig up an old forum post, but we now have a banner in place that you can see upon joining our BC2 server that shows the new Vitality Gaming logo and also the FITES logo.

Check out the link below to take a look and big thanks to Shank for putting it up!

It was from one of our friends from college that we have known and gamed with for years (NtgCleaner).  He does HTML and graphic design for companies and he is going to help us get some bad ass shirts made with that new logo as well.  So hopefully, by the time the next FITES event rolls around :)

I just think it's horseCrap when I want to play on the server that I put money in on and I can't because it's full and the 3 or 4 people that have admin aren't on to boot anyone.

So, our server is up for the 6 month renewal in July, and after talking with several people about it, it seems as though the popular concensus would be to let the server subscription run out in July, which I also agree with.  We have had plenty of fun nights gaming together in it, but it doesn't seem to be worth it to rent it out for another 6 months. 

From what Decepticon had posted earlier in a different thread, it seems that Battlefield 3 will most likely follow the same model as BC2 in that you will have to rent a server out as it probably won't have dedicated LAN support (sadface), and I would imagine most people wouldn't be very interested in doing, which I completely understand.

NOW, with all of that being said, as this will be our last full month of play on the server, I would love to have some big BC2 events this month with as many people as possible together in the server to go out with a "bang" so to speak.

Let me know what you guys think.  I think it would be a blast to have a few final large (hopefully) turnout events in our server before its gone.
