Server Status.... .. Free Game Server space if you want it... - Nubblies.net Forums

AcTivE · 06-29-2003, 01:54 AM

Server has been fucking up lately, and for no apparent reason. The indians tell me it's hardware-related--and thus I have rented a new server.

All sites will be moving over to it (including this one)--but it should be rather seamless with little or no downtime...

New server has some nice hardware specs...and right now I won't be using the entire server (even w/all of the clients on it). If anyone is interested in running any sort of gameserver (if you read up on it..you can get it to work with websites too...could give you subdomain.blueoptic.com to work w/the game)--reply here.

I'm thinkin UO (http://www.sphereserver.com) or possibly Counterstrike, Quake 3, whatever...

*may* need to stop it in the next couple months as a result of growth (would not stop a UO if it got started)

hardware specs are:

dual xeon 2.0ghz
1 gb ram
2 x 73 gb scsi...

and I have 1200gb of transfer...which works out to about a constant 6mbs for an entire month (roughly 4 t1-lines)

fully burstable connection--won't be any lag because of too many players... counterstrike, quake, etc.. could probably go up to 32players a piece..

If your interested--you would either have to already know how--or find out how, to work with linux and running the server. I don't want to have to do it...

Don't know if there will be any interest...just throwing out offer because of available space that would be wasted otherwise

Well, I just read your entire post, and didn't gather one thing from it. But thank you for posting for all the non-neanderthalic residents of this here board.

I don't think I'm alone when I say that I'd like to start playing uo again...but I'm not sure how I feel about all the work it'd be to start up an entirely new shard.

if anyone just wants to mess around with an idea... *possibly* do it..let me know and i can just create an account..

i got into counterstrike a while ago..and its pretty cool because you can link in-game stats to a webpage - live..

if anyone has ever played that..it's a pretty good game. also--have heard there is an everquest server emulator out there..don't know if it's for linux or not...

here is server specs page:

basically kick-ass server that's going unused..

I think it would be sweet to set something up. We could have nubblies tournaments and shit or something. I don't know about the UO thing cause its quite time consuming and I don't have a ton of time right now but it could work out. It would be sweet it if turned into something big.

Also, this is a little bit off the subject of your server, but we could get back into starcraft and possibly get some games going on that and have a nubblies guild or even have some good games between some nubblites. I think i'll just start a new thread about this.

i think tribes would be cool...constant team vs. team capture the flag..could link with different 'affiliation' on here..

could probably even pull live stats from the game and have them displayed on forum..

don't have a copy of the game though..if anyone can get working copies of something cool...email me
