Heyas all first off i would like to thank everyone for the year in which theyve played my server its really been fun for the most part, unfortunately i cannot afford to bankroll the server into the new year as of right now it is costing me over $500 monthly to have it online and the donations i do get mayyybe on average equal $20 a month.
So it saddens me that i must tell you the server will be coming offline in february when our contract expires with the hosting company. There really is no good time to make an announcement like this but i thought that it may be a “good” time for you to find new servers during christmas events.
Perhaps if someone knows of a good stable server you can feel free to post links on the facebook group so you lot can all still play together.
This has nothing to do with you guys youve been great to me, financially however it was my own mistake for trying to get too big too fast which in turn inflated my overhead costs through the roof

All your information and passwords will be cleared from my files upon termination of service form the host so you dont have to worry about your information such as passwords and email addresses.

Stop paying the coder, stop the test server that would cut costs alot.

This made me lol :P

On topic, $500 for all that is too much, I'm sure you could find cheaper.

Thats two posts I have seen from you and in both you have called server owners lazy.

So, tell me about your awesome self and please don't be modest and miss out any exciting details :)

again with jumped up nobs on here trying to be funny.....

My point was clear. Maybe he doesn't want to learn to code because he doesn't want to. Just like executive game producers hire coders, because they don't have the time, skill, or desire to want to code as well as do everything else they do.

so when you come to buy your next jumper, take a minute to think, do i have the time to learn the skills to knit my own jumper.

What are the specs of your servers ?
RAM, cores etc.
Your prices seem extremely high for a server to run Mir 2, in any of its guises.
You have plenty of time between now and Feb to negotiate with your current suppliers or preferably find another with far cheaper otpions.

im guessin ur server didnt have over 40 usercount, so u didnt need a £200 dedi.. u could run it on a £50-100 dedi EASILY lag free.

200 for a coder? jesus, did he even do ne thing good on the files?

120 for test dedi? u shoulda just used that as ur main dedi, and tested on ur own pc!!!

jesus, 500 a month, ur insane

That will run a 30-40 usercount absolutly fine, what i used for Ayndril 2.3.

So just cut your costs down by £460.


If your usercount doesnt support a coder, dont have one.

And **** knows why u'd pay £120 for a test dedi? Seriously...... were the **** are you getting your prices from, i think there's some Captain Bullshit going on here.

Well, he has an offer to set up server on a tower on a 100mb line that has run servers on before lag free so that should remove 99% of his running costs.

As per the coder... I'll be damned if he did anything to warrant getting a month salary... Pay the coder per job not per month.

If it were me, I would take the tower option, cancel both servers, fire that god damn scriptwriter I mean coder and just take your time working on the server.

That's just my opinion on the matter but letting a good server die off is always a shame.
