if it's a game that costs monthly and zelaron hosts the server, would we still have to pay for it monthly??

Depends, if it's big enough then yes although we could do it at a reduced cost possibly. Chruser will have to pay extra and he needs a source of funding.

I'm willing to pay for the forums on my own as soon as we won't consume TOO much bandwidth (no worries yet :)), but I'm not willing to pay for the gaming server out of my own pocket. The game server will only cost $20/month though, but still.
The people that donate regularily will obviously get a better user title, maybe a gaming server moderator/admin position, options to vote for the games that should be hosted and so on.

i love this idea.
uo / daok / rtcw sounds cool.
banner if everybody is 'playing the rule' and click on it.

dark age of camelot, i never played it seems good, anyone knows where to get it 4 free?

Dude, I could bet we could charge about $15 a mo for banners, and we could get a few, (only on the forum).

No, $15/month is far too much, since we're not a large traffic site yet. We should wait though ;)

Either way, it was two games to start with, and personally, I'd suggest UT and DAOC/BNETD. Like I already said, I will pay for it the first month, but I won't keep that up after that, since I'm not planning to play too much. If you people want a gaming server (athlon xp 1700 with 1024 mb ram), you better help me out a little. If you want to be greedy, there will simply be no gaming server. ^_^

if i had a job i would pay up for it as long as id get some recognition, and for games those sound like good choices, but DAoC would have trouble on there right away seeing its a MMORPG and woudl that many ppl hear about it right away?? if not itd be more so a online rpg, so right now id say UT/BnetD

oh yeah and how bout a server name like you said zelaron? <blank>.zelaron.com

me and www.com wer thinkin something like infernonet or zelnet... something along those lines

Wow that would be great chrusher do you accept money Orders :D (would be hard to send it all the way to sweden but I don't do online funds :( )
the banners would be ok if the not those annoying every where you look types
and whatever game you decide could someone give me a crack of it so I can play too :)

Am I the only one who thinks hosting Unreal Tournment would kick ass? Sure there are other games out there, yet Tourney is better in my opinion...

I would prefer another game that game gets so old :(

I'm already going to host UT plus another game, preferably an RPG. It sounds like we will be able to host three games, so that will be two RPG's then.

UT is a must-have to test the server capacity though :)

i'd say host UO again... but since no one listens to me... HOST UO :D

The server is up, I just need to fix some permissions.

Oh, also, I need some server software.
I just have NIX software for UT and BNETD so far, and if you want me to host UO/DAOC, you will have to tell me some about its functionalities.

doesn't penguin and the Mod clan have a server for UO already?
and UT suxz cuz my comp is too slow to play it :(

My kazaa is too gay to dl a working one.

Well, eventually I'll get one.

kazaa... i cant find anything that works on kazaa... i only found one which is an anime episode...

Chrusher try hosting penguin's UO shard... then we'll have stable players right away... and basically all you do for UO shard is you download the preferrable software... either POL UOX or Sphere... I don't know what you like but personally i like sphere... But Penguin like UOX... so i dunno... Anyways... Whatever you like UOX or sphere... Download it... Extract it... Run it and it's up... but for sphere u have to populate the world and customize and if u want add more script into... dunno about UOX... talk to penguin more about it... But I still think UO will be a GREAT choice because you can play 3d OR 2d according to ur likings... unlike DAoC :D

I'm on UT someone get on it damnit! :) (The server that is, ill b waiting)
