I want a server.

ಠ_ಠ

If you aren't trolling then you better rephrase that.

Was that 107 with no addons enabled?

To all the people complaining: I spent $1200 of my own money to buy hardware. 2 1/2 months later I had the money back in my bank account, and now continue to mine. Two month ROI? What other business can promise that? On a side note, I don't pay extra for electricity while I'm at the dorms, so for the next few months I'm getting a great deal, except for the $1000's I'm spending on college...

Well, the easiest way to do that would be for you to just put the entire blockland folder in a zip file, with out your key file of course, and then somehow send it to me. That way everything would be configured already.

If its a good map and you have all the addons and such already set up I could do it. Although, I do want to give this a chance and see if there is anyone else who has something better, maybe. I'm going to wait a few days and see what kind of demand there is.

I don't think anyones ever gotten past 50.

Badspot's server after major updates seems to get that full.

99 is the max safe number of players.

Ok, but doubt anyone could make a server popular enough to ever have the need for that many people. I could always host multiple servers though.

Not necessarily, I'm looking to host for people that have popular servers/builds but don't have the means to host them for many people.

It seems download bandwidth is limited by the wire, however that seems to be the max upload for the whole campus.

Also 1.67GB is the most memory usable by the game.

Yeah, I was aware there was some limit like that. Any idea what a realistic number of players in a server would be with that limit?

Wait, so you will be hosting servers for people? Because if so, holyforgetyes.

That's the plan assuming someone meets the criteria.

Make the best server that can actually hold stuff. Like Blockoworld sense Tom's computer sucks, or a really well monitored TDM/DM sense Counts has been drama'd a lot.
Loljk but really, do something big and useful, kind of like Badspot's server, whereas people can contribute and build on end, and sense you have high bandwidth you can hold that.

I don't really have the time to build anything or watch over the server to kick/ban people. This is why I need ideas or someone who would like a more powerful server setup for something awesome. I currently have it running a freebuild server, but there is nothing in there, everyone just joins and leaves due to the lack of anything.

Some notes:

• I'm looking for people with popular builds/servers that don't have the means to host for many people
• I will NOT consider such requests as: "IM 10 AND I CANT GET MY SERVER WORKING HOST FOR ME PLZPLZPLZPLZ
• If I end up hosting for someone else, I will use my own key to host the dedicated server
• The server is an AMD dual core @ 3.5 GHz, and 4 GB of ram. Should be enough for even a large server
• I don't have time to build/moderate the server
• The server is located is on the US east coast, but latency to other parts of NA should still be acceptable.
• I might be able to host more than one server with a decent amount of people.
• Your server will have the prefix "Starcraftman's" because I will use my own key to host.

Alright, for the next 3 months I will be living in the dorms at my university and have a spare computer and a TON of upload/download bandwidth with which I can host a server.

Because I don't have to pay extra for electricity I can do this for free, so I am looking for either a good idea for a server to host, or for someone who could use a server with a large capacity for huge builds, competitions, clan builds, or whatever.


Q: Why do this for free?
A: Blockland was the first real sandbox game I enjoyed. I played the alpha since 2004, and then retail when it was released. I love the game and the community (mostly), so I want to give something back.

Q: Why should I trust you with my server?
A: I don't know, you tell me :D

Post ideas or questions. I'll try to answer as many questions as I can.
