Server rental

[5loth]

Does anyone know where servers can be rented apart from Hypernia and Gamearena?

Hopefully this is OK to ask here, but as on3 don't currently provide I'm guessing this shouldn't be a problem?

Hypernia servers are all taken and can't rent a gamearena server without an australian cc.

(not sure whether i can post here neither, please remove if deem inappropriate)

Renting server has also crossed my mind couple of times, though i am not sure the current player population reflects the actual number in long run. The new fish game might pull a portion of players away dunno.

I might just wait for a month or so first, seeing its quite an investment it would be painful to see the server sitting there with no players.

Imperium got ours through Hypernia - iirc 24 slots for around NZD$50 a month. ON3 are developing a server rental option, but from talking to Arsey last week, not available yet.

[Craigorsarus]

not quiiite yet, but its very close, ill talk to arsey for you

[Arseynimz]

Refer my PM 5loth.

We are also keen for info on server rental.

[[∞]MadMike]

Yeah hurry up eh. been waiting for ages :P

[Dr Woomanchu]

BW will also be keen. Best to give us some teasers before we commit funds elsewhere

[Arseynimz]

Okies - I'll talk to Craigor tonight and get the details of the panel. At the moment, I think he's got the controls sorted, but he or I will report back here ASAP.

now now now.......come on.....we all have memories like goldfish...and if you dont get the info now we will swim around the bowl and ask the same question all over again in 3 weeks...with same repsonses.

[Dr Woomanchu]

[Growler]

[Hazard]

DD will be keen also. We're currently looking into GameArena, but will hold off on that. Would much rather support ON3!

[Dr Woomanchu]

Hey maybe ON3 could host some servers. That would be awesome.

When can we have soem?

[RightHandOnly]

[SheepShagger556]

Only shit clans don't have their own server already tbh.

or they are waiting to support our local community


but whatever floats your boat

[Arseynimz]

Okay - small update for you, I've got the costing sorted. We're going to be doing a flat $2 per slot, and I'll have the store open once I've skinned it tonight. Craigor's either had an early night, or he's ninja'ing MSN and is working away from my "are we there yet" requests so stand by for status from him.

and you have NEVER bought a computer part online?

[DarkVirus]

Craig fell asleep last night lol.

I went out to dinner with vix, and went round after, looked like he was getting the bash from his partner.

[RightHandOnly]

pooe lad we are working him to hard...lol

[RightHandOnly]

and you have NEVER bought a computer part online?

I dont get the infrarence.....

I buy parts online but from local suppliers....?

confused...

[Speakman]

whats that got to do with anything? ON3 is local, GA/Hypernia isn't. Renting from ON3 will support the community, renting from GA/Hypernia won't. You should stop being such a pleb


fwiw, the majority of my gear has come from Playtech, also supporting the community.

[Spigalau]

The only issue with renting local (in NZ) is that some of the Aussie clans will not like playing 'away from home', they will bitch & whine about lag, rubber banding, etc and insist on playing on a west island based server.

[Menial]

Those clans probably have their own server anyway

your not letting hte aussies push you around are you spig?

big bullies

[Spigalau]

No Birthday boy, I aren't...

[[∞]MadMike]

LOL bout time the aussies got to taste what it's like from our side of the ditch anyway..

Each to there own on who buys where. I prefer to by local and support those that support us. I'm in business in NZ and know how frustrating it is when people come pick your brains then by off the interwebs from someone who has no overheads and can afford to drop there prices and has offered no service but ridden off ours... anything can be found cheaper oversea's. and I mean everything so remember that when your buying outside the country that you may well at some stage lose your income to the same thing.

[Menial]

You might also lose your income to competition within the same country or to alternative products. More to worry about than just overseas bogeymen.

Not really. most wholesalers are starting to protect there brick and tiles. Internet traders over here are annoying to be sure but people need to understand that most of them don't hold the stock there purely acting as a docking port to dock you of more money.. take there cut etc...

[Menial]

Drop shipping...

[Machpants]

I want a brick and mortar BF3 store TBH, ON3 should start one up here in Masterton.

confused...oh wow. I didn't realise the level of intelligence i was dealing with. i retract my original post as i see this will be like tryin to reason with a brick wall
