Bay 12 Games Forum

I bought a $70 alarm clock today which wakes me up better than my $200 I had prior for about 2 years.

-snip-

I don't know why, but I am killing myself laughing at this for no reason.

Sorry something has just come up so I can't host warzone 2100.

Sorry for any inconvieniece.

Also it appears there are servers already up for empires, so I will scout servers and report back.

I have to be careful with the amount of bandwidth I use, and while it will probably be ok, It would be better if there is already a server.


EDIT : found server IPs http://steamcommunity.com/app/17740/discussions/0/46476145158097005/ , I think we should use the Europe one as I think most people on here are from europe(?).

Ok then, shame about the MW4. I might host a game though, if you wouldn't mind? I can't promise anything as I have no computer to serve as dedicated server and there's a possibility of my net becoming unstable, but if enough people say they'd play it, we could try. But since this is some sort of an "extra", I suggest playing MW4 at the very end, after Empires and WZ2100.

For those interested in playing MW4 but don't own MW4 yet - as stated, the game is considered abandonware but you can find a certain reddit post if you just google mechwarrior 4 mercenaries! You can also pm me and I can send you a link.

Hope this is all ok with you, gigaraptor487. 

Go nuts! It would be great to see the game played anyway.

Just to remind everyone, This will be happening again today at 9pm BST, starting with empires. I am going to be running servers for empires and warzone 2100, however I won't play mechwarrior 4 because its status as "abandonware" seems dubious. This means that I won't run a server for this game unfortunately, although this thread should be used for those who are going to play mechwarrior.

Sorry for the inconvieniece.

I'll gladly host Empires, if you don't have a dedicated server or experience with it.
Also, if we're planning on having a game that's not full of newbiness, I strongly recommend everyone that's going to play to go through the quick start guide, and pay attention to it.
For context, most veteran players don't assume someone else is competent (not good, just basically competent) unless they have over 50 hours, and those are the particularly kind ones.

Also, if we're interested in getting a variety of activity, enough to justify more than the smallest maps, we should probably play on one of the few public servers. Loss of admin powers, but worth it for a decent player population.
With less than 10 people, there's only 3 or 4 maps that are fun, and not just vast amounts of emptiness. (Not including a few novelty maps.)
For the record, population, even on the weekend, tends to max around 20-30. Week days usually stay under 12. And it's been quite awhile since more than one server was active at one time.

I haven't ever hosted a source mod before, although I have experience running source game servers so I should be ok.
