    I'm pretty sure it just crashed while on emp_money... I lost connection and then after refreshing it said "<not responding>".

    Whoa, lol, little bit too much information. I hate to see what would happen if the internet broke, and there was no pr0n to download and there was no CS or DoD to play? (And all the BOTS decided to quit)

    If bots go in strike I go in to computer and pwn their lazy asses :D And if internet goes out(it was 2 days ago for about 2 days)I just play guitar or go outside, which is where I should be instead anyway.

    I wish they'd upgrade it. Kinda annoying having both a high ping and low fps :(

    High ping? Usually it's a pick between this server or Stormed, and I guess Stormed is in Germany because I get high ping there a lot. So today I went with the 13 ping of the Official server.

    Location isn't really the issue. The server can't seem to handle large amounts of players, sending around 70%+ in to the 100-300 category.

    o.0 Very interesting. Also, did you know you could determine someone's general location by their ping and if you know the location of the server?

    Okay, you need to know:
    1) Ping
    2) Location of Server
    3) Average Up/Down speed of user
    4) Type of connection, be it cable or DSL

    Then you'd have a circular area that isn't exactly right either
    Though technically it is possible

    I was shopping for parts to build a new server today.

    Dual AMD motherboard and server chassis
    2 AMD Opteron 2.0 GHz (dual core)
    4 gigs of ram
    2 400 gig HDs

    It comes out to about $2700, but I need to find a colocation host first before I build it.

    Krenz, I have an idea. You can give that stuff to me, and I'll give you what I have now :D Fair trade I'd say.

    Since the price is so big, why don't you open up a donation system? Perhaps bring in more money for Empires.

    Krenzo, why are you opting for more space? Is it a server for the game or a server to store stuff in? If I was getting a new server for the Game Server, I would definitly go with an AMD 4000 (if AMD that is), 4 gigs of ram, and 1 80 Gb Hd (for OS) and another 200 Gb Hd (For Game Content).

    Btw, Seagate makes a Hd called the Barracuda that's 750 Gb for $499.99. That may be cheaper then going with 2... it depends on what you're using it for and your budget.

    You should ask me about some good deals, I read every ad in PC World like 8 times. Why? Because a man can dream. A man can DREAM.

    lol Bojangles
    Krenzo, Will that server have 4 cores? (two dual cores) Is that useful? I remember some comments from another thread that only one of the cores is utilized, it's right here. Cheers!

    Also, Mr Bojangles wanted you to see this. It's about the Hard Drive he was talking about, he just didn't get around to posting it in this particular thread.
