Author Topic: Tezuni Servers ― running EIGHT 24/7 servers  (Read 11238 times)

THAT's where it's from?

I always thought it was an idea taken from starcraft.

Lol, you didn't know that's where it was from? Good because I didn't either.

Huh, the somewhat expected stuffstorm went straight past this
Have player ranks passed on to all the servers? People seem to be moderator or vip on one server, then default on another.
Or was this intended?
Mod/VIP have been cloud based for a while now, they should be consistent across the servers, but I will double check.  Admin ranks are not cloud yet.

That's the point, I didn't release it. I specifically made the map for another super creeper server, chrisbot6's, on hi request. I never put a download link up publically, and I was properly credited back at his server. I'll gladly make a map for someone even though it costs me effort for no fee, but I don't want people hosting them uncredited in order to gain funds via donations through it.

To be clear, that last bit is the most important one. I'm not going to chase someone down based on some credit because I want people to suck my internet richard, but I sure as hell don't want them to get monies off of something I put effort in, not them.
To be clear, chrisbot6 put a download link up publicly for your map in his gamemode topic.  And to be clear, I am making 0 profit off your map.  Donations go into the server paypal account, which has funds drawn from it to pay for the VPS.  If there isn't enough, it takes it from my personal checking account.  I am paying money so that people can play that gamemode, and your map is included.  I also did not change any credits in any of the maps; you are credited for your map.  If you don't like me hosting it, i'm sorry you feel that way.  I suggest talking to chrisbot6 about taking down the download to it if that's your sentiment, because hosters will download and use it.

Another city RPG maybe?
I would be for this but Tezuni needs to fix the game mode first. It auto-saved wrong and randomly deleted the bricks and shut down the server at odd times

Sounds fair, was just kind of suprised the donations on your site says 89 dollars, while a good 7 servers would cost like 42 dollars a month using rtbhost's old prices. I guess that's from a long while then.

VPS services are around $30/mo.

It's awful.

VPS services are around $30/mo.

They start about that much. The stufftiest packages.
stuff I pay 120 a month for mine

What? My $30/mo VPS is pretty good, 2GB of RAM.

So the only thing you require is ram? And just that tiny bit huh

And you are comparing your personal needs to that of someone hosting many servers.

By price to ram ratio alone. You are overpaying about twice the amount

Your dogfight server blows.

 The only reason I can fathom as to why it gets as many players as it does is because people recognise your name from the stuffty jail deathmatch you host. The entire thing is horrendously low quality. It is of the level of gameplay that you can expect from players who just started the game and wanted to host a server and make some deathmatch project with some friends they found in a family rp. That's not how you set up tier tactical weapons at all. It's an odd mix of tier one guns which are built to be worse than the tier two guns but they're mixed in together. Why is the terrain all flat except for the hugely steep snow piles which are all at the same height? Why don't you just spawn people with the parachute from the get go instead of putting it on an item spawn in base near the planes? Wouldn't that save time for players making respawns less tedious? Why do all of the vehicles youve chosen not match up at all? Default tanks and gravity cat's APCs? The bases are all flat and boring and too big for what they actually contain, which is some vehicle spawns towards the hanger, a lot of crates for cover and a flag spawn. You could easily condense the size of the base and the map would also feel bigger as a result, dispite the fact the whole loving map is awful and flat and boring to look at and drive on.

Also? Charging for grenades is the worst loving thing in the world. You should feel ashamed of yourself for being so loving manipulative as to offer straight out upgrades for real money.

The only reason people are on your server at all is because they are either new or extremely young. They see all the people in your server and a t key on the keyboard that lets them type in as many pewdiepie references as they want instead of trying to build anything or get creative with the things this game offers. The only reason they stuck around is because they don't know any loving better.

I would carry on with all the reasons why your server is loving awful but I doubt it matters at all. You will continue to gather around 60+ unique vistors to your servers every single day no matter how awful the crap you put out is because you are some kind of hosting celeb. Meanwhile all the people who actually want to impress people by doing something new, who create actual unique content, addons, builds, and all the people who make deathmatches that explore fun new gameplay using blockland's movement and shooting mechanics as a base will continue to lay stagnant and ignored, simply because you want to remain top of some a serverlist. Bravo, tezuni. You've hit the bigtime, dude. Or maybe you did 2 years ago. I don't loving know any more. I stopped paying attension back when you were hosting 2 servers at once and they were both around 16+ players at any given time irreguardless of actual quality.


Congratulations for overthrowing everyone who ever wanted to do anything slightly original or cool with this game. Have fun with your 100 usd. I'm sure you'll have more fun with it than most of the kids on your servers ever did.

I seem to get admin'ed and deadmin'ed way to much on your servers tez

Thanks for the compliments.  I will acually be adding a few more servers based off popular choice.  So far i'm looking at: Duck Hunt, City RPG, and Rotations as possible choices
aka you just want to be an starfish and compete with everyone.

The mountains on Slopes CTF are not all the same height.  They weapon loadouts are meant to be the way they are.  Donators will be rewarded for funding the servers.  People like you will be banned.  I will not feel sorry for you.

I have spent and continue to spend hundreds of USD on hosting.  RTB hosting alone can back that up.  Now with my new VPS I pay over triple what I did with them.  I do not make profit as I stated before in this very thread.  So everyone who plays my 24/7 servers will be the ones having fun with that 100 USD.  I have a dedicated player base because they have fun there.

aka you just want to be an starfish and compete with everyone.
This suggests me hosting servers makes me an starfish.  That is ridiculous.  My intents are genuinely to provide a fun, varied server chain for everyones enjoyment.  All you get is my word for it.

I love how you only responded to two of the things I stated. Why are the weapons like that? It's loving stupid. It's not how those weapons are designed to work at all. Shoddy weapon setups like that are why bushido gets so much stuff for t+t dispite the fact if you use those weapons properly they work great. Donations are fine. Do not give actual straight up upgrades in return for money. You can reward players cosmetically with golden guns or something, but do not make paying give access to more powerful equipment. It is manipulative to get people to give you money and it is despicable.

Why do you mension banning me as if it is some kind of threat? Its not like the quality of the server will improve, nothing you have hosted has improved or been interesting to anyone with a brain for about two years. Probably longer than that.

Well done for ignoring the rest of my post. Sorry, I guess not all the boring uninteresting flat tipped mountains are identical, so well done proving me wrong.

This will be my last post here because like everyone else with a brain I know that all posting in this thread pointing out how badly your stuff stinks does nothing because you love the smell so much and refuse to change anything to make your servers better because you are terrified if you change anything on any of these servers your dumb ass fanbase who donate to you to get special weapons might revolt and demand refunds.

When does the falling tiles and knife dm pop up? Maybe you can charge for grapple ropes.

Why 'ban people like you?' he's trying to give you advice.

Giving advice whilst outright insulting the host is not advice.
