How will planeshift pay for server upkeep?
« on: August 30, 2002, 10:19:54 am »
I don\'t know how you guys plan do pay for server upkeep....I mean its not free, so are you guys gonna use a ad-system or something?

 I\'m sorry I just made this account after I saw this website this night and was wondering this, I don\'t know how many times this has been asked before but I would really like to know, I look forward to playing this game, thnx in advance!

Gamiix is providing the server needed, unless they stop, or charge us, it will not be needed....

they will need more servers later on, Gamiix is not going to just hand us all of their bandwith.

should the time come when PS out grows gamiix, or vice versa, they will just have to move on and find other donors, i would be more than willing to donate, i have more than enough computer power to run it, and i can hook it up to my t1 or mabye sneak it into work and run it on their T3 (though those chances would be slim)

10 lines...nice very very nice, maybe you could offer them for use...it would take a lot of configuration though.

did u guys realise we have nearly 1000 registered people on the boards? when the gmae starts to become more interactive, instead of seeing 3 or 4 people on, its gonna be 100-200 atleast...meaning more servers, but tehre r plenty of people that would be willing to donate servers.

I would say it\'s the first thing on their mind. The rest is do-able without any major contributions(money wise) You can always find ppl to program them, and get all the network stuff together, but for a non-profit company to get some money together and pay for the servers, monthly, is fairly difficult.

Well, i just went and took a gander at what we in my house lovingly call the \"Scrapheap\" and just with my spare stuff i could throw together a system that could run about 1000 people pretty well, now on the other hand if my dad would let me use his server there would be no worries about ever needing to upgrade really...the thing is about what they would use to run an EQ server, though he is pretty protective of it. Basicly it comes down to just off donations from me PlaneShift could keep running, and there is still other people who would be willing to donate.
