I NEED THIS INSIDE ME NOW. I AM HAVING WITHDRAWALS AND WITH ALL THE OLD COOL KIDS HERE IT'S EVEN WORSE. So much nostalgia, and I feel dirty playing the old server now despite it's essentially mine..
I'll be willing to donate what I can to help make this happen, and any other donations would be awesome too.
When I owned my own server I paid 24$ish a month for a 20 slot server, and it ran beautifully. I know that might be a bit high as I always heard, but it seemed worth it and there was rarely any downtime. Working two jobs I could easily donate 20-25$ to buy us one; as I don't see getting a box at the moment as a practical goal. Also when you buy them for that much from a decent host they come set up for the most part. I can figure out Source/Meta mod and any extra plugins but I'm going to need some admins..
I will only do it if the community is willing to play and help populate; so let me know how you all feel about this, and what exactly should be done serverwise. I'm not going to waste my money to let the server sit there so it only see's population after I play for an hour.
If we do it though, I'd be willing to do whatever the community wants to see, RPG system and pillscure/puke excluded. :p No deathruns? StockRotation? Would we even have FastDL(I'm thinking we still do..?) and the such.
I'm nostalgiaing so hard I almost want a HL2DM puzzle server and a killbox server.

I can help with source/meta if you need

I'm hoping it comes installed but I had to do it once when wholegrain went missing and managed to do it; I think. I'll probably try again since as ZPS head I should be able to; but I'll be glad to let you take a peaksee and make sure imdoinitrite.

Yeah. It's still on the website.

*Squeals*
okay, Fanboy moment over
-
Just when I think I'm out....Pillz pulls me back in....
Maybe...just MAYBE I'll reinstall ZPS...
-
Suggestion: Could you name it the various names of former community servers? Swap them once a month or so? Considering I think the CG name needs to be changed, due to the bad reputation placed on it.
May I recommend you name it Claire's Torture Chamber for the LOLz. Then KAT, then POD, etc.
And when (not if) we get our own box, I suggest separate ZPS servers in the names of the old groups. Specific game play for each.
Thoughts?
-
I was thinking of talking to wholegrain and having the Slaughterhouse name removed from the server as he always wanted it just to be conjointgaming.com anyway; but I like that idea too.
Thing is, as head admin for many years I've noticed that most players pay no attention to server name, but there are some who do. Mainly the ones who go; OH WAIT THIS ISN'T CVG?

-
From what I gather, the old server may have been sold...
-
The old server might have been sold indeed. All i know is that it goes under Conjoint Gaming.org on all the servers.
ALSO i want to see a new ZPS server up.
-
If it was sold, then wouldn't the same server on my favourite list be renamed into something other than the IP address?
It's not sold yet, just shut down as are the other servers.

It is either sold or burned to the ground like wholegrain/scott posted in his Facebook Conjoint Gaming Page.
-
Well all irrelevance aside; where would I donate and how soon can this happen?
Should I go ahead and just buy it myself?
-
i think u can donate on the community donation page. seeing as how it was changed and inject mentioning it was ready. ALSO we can just also buy the server. It will get things done faster.
-
Make it happen and MAYBE I play as a regular again.
-
Inject n gang wants me to wait for the serverbox but I kinda wanna get a server now. Trying to wait but I might just splurge and buy a server when I get paid. I'd be glad to hand it over to CG; and the such.
-
Don't splurge prematurely, that leads to dissappointment. And it is messy to clean up. :P
-
hmm. Well, then push for the server box to be up.
IMHO, what is the cost of putting up a server for a month? Then merely transferring the people over by announcing the ip change?

Others offer similar prices, but it's about 20 dollars even for a 20 slot, I used to pay 22$ for a 24-slot but it felt like there was no customer service at all, that was with Darkstar.
I'd be glad to pay 20 every month for the next month or few and if I felt like continuing on I could do that, maybe as a second server, rebuy it as a private server for funnight. Oohh that'd be cool.
-
Ask Tower about our TTT server supplier. They have excellent customer service. And priced competitive, too.

I can get a 20 slot for 15 dollars on the same host we use for ttt which has proven to be of great quality.
So if you do decide you can't wait with donations we'd be able to do that.

The sooner a decision is made, the better. All I want to do is shoot some zombies or eat some brains.

We already have enough to purchase the box, not sure how long that will take. Then again if you buy a server worst case scenario you just download the files at the end of the month and transfer them over to the box.

I suppose; but how long would it be? People are waiting for it to go up and I would be glad to pay for it even. I kinda just like the idea of having it separate so it's more stable and whatnot.
-
Awesome. I really miss playing ZPS with yall.

I hear Saturday, but now its almost Tuesday. Time is money!
