hi all.

tired of OPTUS 400ms pings to games.on.net AA #1 (AUS), i've decided to start an Alien Arena server in brisbane.

does anybody know of good servers? (in Brisbane?) like switched on gamers to deal with rather than OPTUS etc


thanks all,
mal.

you want to host a server (physical box) or you want to run your daemon on a server?

not the full box,

just want someone to run Alien Arena as a server for me.

lots of ISP's offer hosting, but i'm wanting switched on people, not OPTUS or Telstra, but small, smart, fast people etc.


any good hosting people in brisbane?

oh my

why are optus and telstra not switched on?

They don't pay their power bill I guess....

I can vouch for the guys that run the BigPond GameArena rental servers. They are as "switched on" as you're gonna get with game server rentals.

If it makes any difference, they're not "Telstra", but a small, smart and fast private contractor that also happens to be the same crew responsible for AusGamers as well.

I'll sell you a VM how much dollars you gots

I too will sell you a VM, for one dollar less than jmr

Mine is $1 per day

then mine is $0 per day, with a small admin fee of just $30/month

I'll PAY YOU $1

with an admin fee of $60

Anything ara touches turns into gold. If I were in your shoes mal I would rent a server from gamearena.

ara is a total legend.

tired of OPTUS 400ms pings to games.on.net AA #1 (AUS)

Get a better ISP? I'm on telstra & my pings to internode servers are 30-80ms depending on which one I'm on and the time of the day.

If it makes any difference, they're not "Telstra", but a small, smart and fast private contractor that also happens to be the same crew responsible for AusGamers as well.

I didn't realize that small and smart went with MM?

what about big and dumb? what does that go with typo?

Anything ara touches turns into gold.

Does his penis turn into Gold? That could get uncomfortable.

my penis turned to gold, and it is extremely uncomfortable

dude if you could explain why you're so bitter and twister towards us I'm sure someone would actually try to respond in a meaningful manner to try and make you feel better about us

not me though

^^

Look how good the fishing is today

TYPO RAGE

Trog my guess is you did something to upset khel. Upsetting khel unleashes the typo monster.

"Bro"mances are cute.

That picture is so f***ing awesome in a typo thread it has made this the ultimate typo thread.

He looks like you obes

He looks like you obes

If only I had that much hair ... and no grey ones

now THAT'S a beard.

typo lolz

A Mammoth touched Typo in his swimsuit area. I would hope you guys would be a bit more understanding.

They named mammoth after typo cause he is wooly.

Mmm swimsuits.. blahanananan knows what I'm talking about.

GA servers are based in Brisbane?

now THAT'S a beard.

Sorry, no

sorry, i meant: now THAT'S a set of man-breasts.

so you're in toowoomba, connecting to an Adelaide server

no wonder you have a 400 ping.

hmm...

http://php-gtk.eu/en/apps/alien-arena-server-browser

no wonder you want your own. can't you just run it from home or a mate's place?

f*** yeh go internode 6_6

so you're in toowoomba, connecting to an Adelaide server

no wonder you have a 400 ping.

I just tried a server in america & got a ping of 240, I don't think it'd be unreasonable to expect pings below 200 for an aussie server no matter where it is. I used to play on a WA server in cod4 and I'm pretty sure my ping was rarely over 100 and I live in Bris.

no wonder you want your own. can't you just run it from home or a mate's place?

I don't think you realise how much upstream bandwidth he'd need.

yeah well I am kinda new to this whole pc gaming server thing.


how much bandwidth would he need whoop?

Depends how many people he wants on his server

"respond in a meaningful manner" is very offensive to me.

see, you are either a muppet, (one blessed with no brain) or part of the team (have pentangles, skulls, and burning candles on your desk). either way, it's offensive.


having worked for telstra before,
(extortion department - threatening crying old age pensioners who owed thousands of dollars for the first month internet with legal action because they signed up for FREE! trials etc (telstra software did it)

i'd rather gnaw my own leg clean orf than urinate on telstra if they were on fire.


(
did marketing at uni. Telstra made it into the course as THE prime example of clever. Telstra used to be called Telecom. they commissioned a survey. people hated them so much it was bizarre. would have cost billions to fix their act up and get people to love them. (stop overbilling, stop the run around treatment etc etc)

instead, turned out much cheaper to just change their name.

brilliant idea.


see, if a person called bob knees you in the balls and steals your wallet you won't like him.

but if he gets plastic surgery and calls himself dave you'll shake his hand.


so,

trog
"why is he so bitter and twisted towards us"

familiarity?






greazy, ara, get a room guys




thanks koopz

"run it from home or a mate's place? "

best advice yet.

Wow, you have no idea you rabbid raging f*****. Mammoth are a contractor of Bigpond/Telstra and are not Telstra/Bigpond.

Thanks to people like trog, this gaming forum is still here after many years. If you were here for many of these years, you would learn that typo was an exadmin type who held a grudge against all the admins on this forum for reasons unknown.

Take your panties out of a bunch and get the f*** over it.

"respond in a meaningful manner" is very offensive to me.

trog wasn't responding to you dude, you can tell by the way his comment directly follows the quoted text of someone else's comment

I worked for telstra, they weren't that bad
I think the problem is you worked for telstra and you got paid f*** all

I hated and still hate telstra as far as an isp goes, but as far as employment goes they are one of the only companies in Australia that pay 6 figure salaries to someone in my line of work - so they're A-OK in my book

I'd never buy anything that they're selling, though

Wow, he comes in asking for help and then flames the s*** out of us all?

P.s. since you hate telstra so much, it might interest you to know I'm on telstra cable and in the AA server browser built into the game I get a ping of 45 to that internode server so I guess me & telstra will have the last laugh at you s***ty optus boy ho ho ho

what a lol thread

Mal you're gay, so I am raising my prices to $30 per day for you

trog wasn't responding to you dude, you can tell by the way his comment directly follows the quoted text of someone else's comment

But I wasn't talking about trog ! I was talking about typos man love for khel!

ps. term has gay secks with telstra (he tells me it was better when it was mexicana style)

you can tell by the way his comment directly follows the quoted text of someone else's comment

i am grateful for this thread because i just learned what the quote function is for.

pretty sure that telecom changed to telstra because ndc (network design & construction) were splitting off... so telecom became telstra & ndc. it wasn't coz a survey said everyone hated telecom. :P but i guess that's kinda a moot point in view of your total comprehension fail.

I like the bit where trog replied to typo but Mal thought it was to him and then flamed trog and then a bunch of other guys.

Thread lost marks due to incorrect quoting by Mal, however quoting system can be difficult to master if you are new to the forum. Taking this into consideration I raised my initial thread rating from 8.0 to 8.5.

Thread Rating: 8.5/10
A++++ will read again

Based on your favourable review I have allocated time in my already congested diary to read this thread.

we are setting up some vms to be game servers on one of our 16core boxes here for friday arvo office lan'ing. might make it publicly avalible...

i wouldn't, I did that once and we used 60gb in < 3 weeks because I completely forgot about the server once i'd finished playing on it

I can't remember exact details but I think it was a single CSS server with 16 players :|

hmm, corp bandwidth could be a bitch. f***ing oz dl limits.

CSS is a bandwidth whore

But due to the embarrassment, the OP will probably never actually read that and will remain uninformed of that availability forever.
