Rorry to Admins - Cost of running a stable host?

[Veygaar]

Alright Cannon or whoever.

What's it going to run us to have a host that can make the server playable for both U.S. and Euro players at the max allowable slots (235)?

Perhaps more donations, so that we are not running on fumes which we currently have?

Through speculation, I honestly have no idea how much Discovery has saved.

[Altejago]

Why make it better for Yanks? Most of the admin team are Kiwi or European.

What makes Yanks so special you want to pay for it to be better for you? How about you just deal with it.

Guess it's impossible to have good connection for players from all world. Someone will sit closer to server anyway.

[Govedo13]

It is possible but too expensive to be worth it. Look Planetside 2 servers.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Now, it's been a while since I talked with Cannon about it, but as I understand the problem is not one of connection or server, or really anything that we can throw money at to fix, it is that Freelance is a one processor game. It is coded to only be able to make use of one processor, which means that that one processor is pretty maxed out already, add to that all the fixes and hacks we have made to original Freelancer, and you can image how much strain that one processor is under. So the problem is not the server or the connection, it's that we are playing a really old game and adding more for the processor to do with every new update.

So, basically the more shiny toys we add, the worse become lags?
#deletePoBs? Or atleast reduce their quantity.

[sindroms]

Yeah. Please tell us the costs, I am sure many of us would love to chip in so we can frak off this host already.
