We now lease 2.13 Ghz Quad Core 2 Xeon 3120 with 3 GB of RAM, over at the Blue Square datacentre in Maidenhead, which is on the Rapidswitch network, which is directly peered with the Telecity datacentres and all the other usual suspects like LINX in London. The Rapidswitch network is now reputed to be the fasted datacentre network in the UK.
We will be hosting:
CounterStrike Source (64 players) - This game was running with about 3 GB of supporting files, it will be at least a week before it's back.
Team Fortress 2 (24 players) - the game will not support more and it is likely that we will end up with more than one TF2 server). - The admin plugins for TF2 will be installed on Tuesday 11th December.
Day Of Defeat Source (32 players) – Admin tools to be installed on Wednesday 12th December.
Call Of Duty 4 (32 players) - Call Of Duty 4, will be running from Wednesday 12th November under *TEST* with a view to getting everything working perfectly for Friday 14th December.
Quakewars (32 players) - The Quakewars server will be ready for Sunday 16th December.
Battefield 2 / 2142 (*IF* we get enough requests)
We use TCADMIN gaming control panel software that allows us to create virtual gaming servers instantly, for either practice or competitive play against other clans. If a multiplayer game exists, somewhere there is a TCADMIN script that will allow us to host the game efficiently.
Clan members can and will have access to the gaming control panels, so that they schedule virtual gaming servers to be available for practice sessions and clan matches.
Suggestions are welcome for any addition games that you want (any recommendations for a car-racing game?)
All are welcome to play on the servers and to suggest games, *BUT* all of this costs the wrong side of £100 per month, so if you want to wear the U75 tags and or have admin control in any one of the games, we ask that you make a contribution towards the running costs of the server.
