Title: 10$ - and be admin on your own server
Post by: [SWISS]Merlin on Monday, April 04, 2016, 11:52:36 AM
if you like to be admin on your own server, you can rent a server at www.nomad.enjin.com (http://www.nomad.enjin.com).
with its "full service". you dont have to know how to configure a server, nothing of that at all.

just let me know at [email protected] what you would like to have. almost everthing is possible, just ask for.

example:
1 server, 32 slots, open, mapvote, rotating maps, forbidden drop and spam nades, restarting every day at the time you would like (or not), print screen shots of each player, ts3 server slots for your clan and so on....

for only 10$ a month
,
included full service of all - one mail with your wishes and 24 hrs after, all done

Interesting indeed. ;)
So any player of this game can be admin and have a private server?
Is this a good decision or is financially the smart one? 
Don't get me wrong, just asking..

this is how the game works. you can rent a server for 0.9 cents a slot from datacenters. or you can "rent" - to be honest, its almost for free - a server from anybody who will be able to configure a server as you wish.

and for friends, i do it for $5, for others i do it for $10 :)

just to pay some respect, not about money at all. i did think i should tell that now in here. as a chance for all with less money to have a own server.

this is a support task for new clans, having fun with its own servers. for a price that is not that high as other ones. that's the main reason of it.

I don't want to give the impression that i don't like your idea or trying to ruin your kindness. Please don't think so. I just wanna say that the most majority of new players don't have good experience to become a admin server.

Eventually, all the bad new players (included me) will get good experience about this game after a while.
Is kind of ironic i am 'complaining' but i just think that new players need to deserve the server, to get to know some things about this game first, about players and etc. There's already enough admins, it would be great if admins can teach new players about the game and more things, so they can be prepared for everything, including how to become a GREAT server admin.

This wasn't post about the money, i was joking Merlin.
I know i am nobody here, but at least i can say what i am thinking.. ;)

I am supporting you 100% with this, because you want to give a chance to new players, and that's really nice of you and i get that i just have my own opinion about this. ;)

Bank account at Panama? ;) good job :up:

Is there a option to restart rent server manually when ever it's needed? Ini handling works through sftp?

Ronski, you have your bank account also, it's not in Panama, but Miami is also good for 'black money'. I've payed you for your protection.. :D Hahahihi

Your first post _was_ about money. You wrote "Is this a good decision or is financially the smart one?", which translates more or less to asking "Is this not expensive for a server?". But after Merlin replied, that he doesn't do this for money, you immediately took a different stance with all this "how nice" stuff.

I fail to see any logical connection here. EDIT: after reading it second time, I think I got what you meant, scratch that.

Your translation is wrong like always.
I don't think at all that servers are expensive, quite opposite, they are cheap, 10$ is nothing what all admins are doing here for all of us and this game.
Like I've said, it's not about the money it's about _not experienced players_ who wants to become admins.
Read more times the posts if you don't understand it after reading it first/only 1 time.

roski, if you would like to get me back to this forum, you will fail.

panama. sure, i guess big sergio is holding the account for feeding this game with some money there. i did spent more then 100$ to support this game. did i say something i will get the money for myself? did i? - no. maybe you dont know - but there is no need that you do know - i am still supporting this game.... because i love it. thats all. so maybe stand back and wait - for once.

for every new player and its clan - there should be a chance to grow...GROW. to get this game further then its now. nothing did really helped what we all did. only Nate, Sergio, Teddy and ELiZ did more then others to keep this game alive. sorry, i do have to say this.

and for everybody, there is a time to call "hurraaa, it was the first tiime" ;) - so what is the difference between a server renting from nick for 30$ as a commercial task or to "rent" one for 5/10$ as a supporting task? there is a big difference, but not on the experiance task, for sure not. its about money for one part.

so it is. just another step trying to help this game going on, because - as you can see - its not growing anymore. the opposite is the truth. and the "old school players" - looooool - are gone. for them we did canceled the whole fun part of this game - mutate is the word.

have nice dreams - for all of you.

Sorry about that, now when I read my message for another time I see how it looks :oops: I was just joking with the recent financial topic...

I honestly think you're doing good job with this. I know it's not about the money, but $10/32 slots is not much at all. So is there a option to restart server manually when needed?

shus so they wont get me, they are focusing on Panama right now so I have plenty of time to move from Miami to another paradise ;)

I can tell the support our clan gets from the Lowpinggameservers in AA: PG. Merlin's support is faster :)
Sometimes even without asking hes done things to our clanservers.
We have currently the main server from "real" gaming server provider and 2 others with the Merlins way.

Very happy for the result so far. ( Oh yea, i get 1$ from every new deal now for posting this)

Merlin,

Nobody here wanted to say that you are doing this for the money. You are a passionate person, and you are doing all this because you really want to help and we all can see that you love this game a lot.
Second part with our posts:
We just mixed a little foolishness with your serious plan, because it is lovely to be silly at the right moment but you didn't recognize it.  :(
AA is fun, so let's make a fun and let's stop being so hard to each other and thinking all the time how we always want to stab a knife in your back because that ain't a true. People in this game don't much go for real knives. :)

They're in his home so the ping would be the same as any other server at his house.

Located in Zürich, Switzerland. Best Ping, as i could see, is for Eastern Europe. You do not need to restart the servers, they will be restarted automaticaly ever day at 07.00 CEST. If you like to change anything, just mail it, and its done 24 hrs. later.

Do you happen to make the same deal for AAPG servers? I might have a couple people interested.

But if you'd like to change .ini files during a day, to restart server for example in some mod mode, turn it to scrim server with no player admins defined, or add / remove playeradmin, or add / remove guid bans etc.. Do they need to contact you to make that change happen?

Pipezor made it possible for us, that we can handle server files at his home server via sftp and we can also restart server via browser, so if you don't have this option there yet, I bet he would share his solution for you :)

yes Koden, there are aapg servers to rent. same conditions. but this money will not flow to aa2 ;) - first i have to finance my clanpage, then i maybe spend also money from there to aa2. but you can tell me your account on the virgin islands  :P

you can test the servers for a month, then you have to pay for it after 30 day - so not in advance. if you are not happy, dont pay and i will stop the server. sounds fair i guess.

this cheap price is not ment for server freaks - changing all day 5 times the configurations. you can change the config by telling me, but i dont want - because of security reasons - start the ftp/sftp service on my side. i could, but i dont want this.

Well with merlins permission I will do the same to help the community with our USA based datacenters.

If Merlin gives it the okay (since it was his idea, asking out of respect) I will offer up 32 slot servers for $10/mo as well in any of our USA locations.

great Nick, i did think you are a noob, but now i guess i have to change my mind (a bit :)).
nice offer.

i really hope that this game will survive, with this maybe a bit a better chance.
go on, i hope it will activate more players maybe founding a clan with its own servers. thank you.

and i wouldn't be angry if you would do that also for Europe :)

edit: just to be sure about it. i will spend the money to this community, i guess you too, right?

thanks pit, i know that. but i will not make new servers, i will change existing nomad servers.
so no more server.

but to be honest. even when there would be 300 servers, who cares. i dosnt hurt this game at all ;)
