Posted April 25, 200817 yr Well I'm back at work people. I had a GREAT THREE WEEK run at home, I was in the server most every day all day. I had some luck starting up the servers, I didn't have much help, but I do most of my gaming during school and work hours so its understandable. The ranking has increased, and we're gathering a following. I've worked very hard to get this server started, I've sacraficed many a gaming hour to get some momentum going. I spent at least 5 hours a day in the server mon-fri, I made a dent in the popularity. Look at our stats, http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/66.135.52.241:27733/ , they've steadily increased since I started seeding. I've seen some significant growth and the server is now the highest ranked of all of our active servers. I'm super psyched about it. Don't let all of our effort go down the drain! There are ../\.. clan members who are regulars on our server, and these guys have TWO of there own servers! We must be doing something right. I would appreciate your support of this server. I've sacraficed lots of time I could have been playing to get this momentum going. Let's see some others step up. Its not fun hanging out in an empty server but what do we have servers for if we don't use them? This server gets started pretty quickly when there's ~4 four people in it. I'm seeing the same regulars when ever I can get it started. People like the server smoothness and the friendly admins. They don't like the team stacking but what are you gonna do? I heard one complaint about spawn camping, but that was all. Its a part of the game that can't be avoided, its also a useful tactic when you are getting hit with arty and stuff. I do have some concerns about some laggyness, when the server stays full for a few hours some jerkyness developes and I begin to hear complaints about it, and a few people have even left because of it. I don't know what to do about it so maybe someone else can shed some light on the issue.
April 26, 200817 yr Author We should change the server name to read "The Armory brought to you by Tilgado". I like it!!! My ping is so low though, that people have told me they thought I was bot so they don't join the server. I'll be away from my computer for a few weeks, now that I'm back at work, so its up to you guys to keep this thing going!!!! Please help me, and the Armory. Way to go Til. Awesome achievement!!! Thanks Matador. Just think if one member can do this in a little over three weeks what could we accomplish if we had a few more members' support! Think about it guys. I've met some really great people in this server.
April 26, 200817 yr Awesome Tilly. My computer just crapped the motherboard, so I am upgrading woot. Hopefully it should be able to play this game now. I am only getting a pentium e2160 but I am going to overclock it, a gigabyte p35 board, and a geforce xfx 8800 gt and 2 gigs of pc2 6400 ram. I pretty much copied the $500 system from toms hardware.

When will you have it put together? I want to know how this computer games! $500 that rocks! I'm reading the article now. I'll wait until you get back with us before making any judgments. I may be giving either myself or my nephew this computer if its good one.
April 26, 200817 yr Man made a good call when we suggested the QW:ET server, going good.. when i find some more time from university (disertation, major other projects) i will join you guys too
April 26, 200817 yr I think since this ETQW server has been popular and it gets full rather quickly I say that we throw up another instance of ETQW.
April 26, 200817 yr I think since this ETQW server has been popular and it gets full rather quickly I say that we throw up another instance of ETQW. i second that idea.. definately..
April 26, 200817 yr Sure, i'll help, i just got the game, but no one has guided me thru the game to learn how to play, they just tell me to follow the things on the map. It's a cool game but, kinda hard to understand and it sucks when they kill u from a long distance with two shots. Well, i do encourage people to get the game, that way we can all have a fun time together. I've seen that ETQW is TEAMWORK , something we do not see in COD4, or at least not something you see every day, the most you see is backup or people use you as a bait or otherway around (lol), and thats not teamwork. Hopw that people that did like BF2142 gets this game, u have medics, walkers, tanks, helis, airtstrikes and so on. It's kinda of a good game when you get to know it a lil better (i hope ). PEACE PREM.
April 26, 200817 yr We need more people to keep the server going. I tried for about an hour to get it going last night with no success, it seemed like people would only stay for about 10-15 mins before they got bored and left. Quake Wars is a great game and I'm a bit surprised why more BF regulars don't play. More teamwork is required than any BF game and you don't have to be a good shooter to be a good player, it's all about being where you're supposed to be. If we got a few more clan members hooked on the game our server would be great, it's just hard when there's just a few of us who play and only a couple who play daily.
April 27, 200817 yr Author I think since this ETQW server has been popular and it gets full rather quickly I say that we throw up another instance of ETQW. i second that idea.. definately.. I don't think a second instance of ETQW is warranted. I had three weeks to fill this server and it only got completely full about dozen times. If we get more clan members playing and keep at least one server full at least 4 hours a day, then yes I'll think about giving the go ahead for a second server but until that time comes we shouldn't waste the resources. Some one get the stuff together to put up a TF2 server. Taco can run the server he's the main player. They've recently added new content and maps. If we can get one of these servers running we could have lots of new blood. The game is fast paced and very challenging, imo. It looks like a cartoon so I'm sure most of you won't like it. Give it a few weeks just to see. :cool:
April 27, 200817 yr If we setup a TF2 server i'll probably go out and buy the game just to play it with ya'll since its only about $30 at Walmart it shouldn't be to expensive with my discount:D
April 27, 200817 yr id definetly be down for tf2 Im thinking about getting quake wars once im out of school
April 27, 200817 yr If we setup a TF2 server i'll probably go out and buy the game just to play it with ya'll since its only about $30 at Walmart it shouldn't be to expensive with my discount:D Stealing isnt counted as a discount.
April 30, 200817 yr When will you have it put together? I want to know how this computer games! $500 that rocks! I'm reading the article now. I'll wait until you get back with us before making any judgments. I may be giving either myself or my nephew this computer if its good one. :cool: Just finished putting it together today, it only cost me $335 because I didn't need to buy everything. I am reusing the HDD, DVD Drive, case, floppy drive. I bought the E2160, the mobo, the cooler, the xfx geforce 8800 gs, and the only thing I changed was to buffalo firestix ram. I found a great deal on it for $48 for 2 gigs of it. I am going to follow their overclock method tomorrow too. I need to get some sleep though now lol. I just finished installing all the important crap. You know whats even funnier though lol? My old computer wasn't really busted, it was just a bad power supply. I must have two bad power supplies here because neither of them worked. I went and bought another PS and my old computer booted right up lol. So now I am giving it to my girlfriend. She was on and old P4 1.9GHz with 768 MB of rdram, that thing sucked to upgrade. So now maybe I can get her into counter strike source or something.

I have some spare parts that I could use too. I want to build my niece a computer. I've got ram, an old video card, and optical drive, I even have an old 3GHz P4. This could be a really cheap upgrade. I'll give my nephew all the newer good parts and the niece the older stuff. This could work out very well. The hard part will be convincing the wife, I bought a laptop yesterday. I got it out here at work, for out here at work, just to fiddle around with. It was $500 at bestbuy, it was a little more than I really wanted to spend but its not horrible. Its not a gaming machine by any means, but it'll surf the web and do spread sheets. If it breaks it won't be the end of the world either. :cool:
