New RaGEZONE Private Server

Yeah, rebuild the RZ server name brand - maybe if this pans out we start looking at the CSS thing, its a good game and it still attracts a large userbase.

The biggest thing is going to be stability in host. If you can only pull a 93% monthly uptime excluding intended maintenance, people go away.

Good hosting costs $. Good hosting that doesn't bomb when some skiddy points a botnet at it costs $$$$$. Considering that RZ has been being molested by such attacks, I'd expect the pservers would as well, so there's always that.

I used to run RZ RYL which was targetted by one such person using a botnet. It effectively destroyed the server so yeah I agree its something that needs to be looked at.

I think a section for css would be nice.
After all, roce does thinks it;s nice.

I'll call for you to decide what you wanna host if you're developing. If not, host whatever game you can find dedicated developers for.

No point hosting a game with little to no development due to the lack of interest. If you develop actively, you probably also play the game and understand what users want most + know about balancing the game.

For me, I don't mind any game.

It'd be nice to get a few private servers up in various games like CS:S, SA:MP and such, but I'm all for a new game. There aren't many decent ones under or up for development.

 

[MDK]

Actually sounds like a good idea.

 

[EliteGM]

Guild Wars anyone?

 

[DonTonberry]

Is that even possible?

 

[Omer]

Cops and robers

but being serious : a game that's fun that you can **** around on without people PMSing, if there's any kind of game like that..

 

[DonTonberry]

Guild Wars is that type of game, fun based easy fun

 

[Tyler]

Cops and robbers is fun on GTA SA:MP. Maybe offer a few game modes?

Or change the script weekly/monthly.

Problem with a San Andreas:Multiplayer server is, the game costs and to avoid costs it involves warez which MentaL has said is a big no-no. As fun as it can be and as much as I'd love to have a GTA server that isn't run by a tool (remember Diseased?), maybe not what DTB is looking for.

 

[Tyler]

Ach, well that's ****. I could say the same thing about CS:S though.

 

[MDK]

I would love to see a SA:MP server as I've generally never really got into the game but I've always wanted to. Are the RZ servers really popular?

 

[DonTonberry]

Doesn't have to be an MMO, doesn't have to be a constant world game. It needs to be fun, and it needs to attract enough players to make the cost of running the server seem worthwhile.

So far we've got:

• Guild Wars - which if possible is a fair shout.
• Counter-Strike: Source - sounds good, but in practice there is thousands of them out there.
• Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Multiplayer. Again, been done to death and GTAIV is out there now with inbuilt stable multiplayer.

They were really popular, but they're old, dead and buried now. Probably why this thread arose.

By looking at some screenshots of Guild Wars, I don't think I'll be playing. Not exactly into fantasy/medieval games. Maybe since GTA SA:MP is so common, GTAIV server?

 

[Evil[]Power]

I vote for CS but not source CS1.6 NON-STEAM is popular then source, and for a GTA server make it SAMP not IV ( cuz i don't have the game QQ)

 

[DonTonberry]

Throwing it out there, what about something completely new? Like using one of these engines and a few developers to develop an RZ Only Game?

 

[Tyler]

Well that's what I meant with my first post. You mean development of a completely new game from scratch? Or an emulator of a game yet to be developed?
