New gameserver (Poll) ***CLOSED***

Post by Alex »

I'm making this poll, because I'm personally getting bored of TTT, and I want to play other games, while still playing on FADW. Which made me think about getting another gameserver, so I asked Deth about that. He said it was OK, and that I should make a poll about what kind of server we should add.

Vote for the game you want a FADW server on the most. Please tell me if you want another game on the list that I might have forgotten. If another game is added to the list after you've voted, you can edit your vote to vote for that game instead if you want that. You're still only able to vote for one gameserver.

This poll will be up for 2 weeks (Friday April 19th to Friday May 3rd), so please vote ASAP.

In my opinion, it's not. It's updated regularly with bug fixes, new features etc. Though, I do think it's overplayed, and I wouldn't personally want a FADW MC server.

Ideas:
Don't use PoG if you have a TF2 server made.
Possibly have a modded version of minecraft server? Tekkit, FTB, etc.
If a minecraft one is made, don't get the useless plug-ins if it'll be bukkit.

Modded server won't be possible. Too many issues between versions (after what I've seen with servers, the worlds become incompatible), and too unstable. Would cause crashes, and we have a limited amount of RAM.

We also will have to run the MC server on Bukkit, but we'll try and see what plugins it will need (most likely it will need Multiverse so we have survival + creative, and some antigriefing plugins), and hopefully make it stable.

Other than that, I don't think we'll be using Pot of Gold for the TF2 server if it happens, because that's just stupid. Annoying, I know that for a fact.

What's POG?

FTB minecraft sounds like a great server to try and run, I'll have to see how stable it actually is though.

If a Minecraft server will be the conclusion... How is chat going to be? TS3 or Vent? Or just the usual ingame text chat with people organizing voice chat individually?

Pinion Pot of Gold is some sort of advertisement program used in the motd, it's really annoying and frustrating, because it doesn't let you close it until a certain amount of time. Though it would be helpful towards FADW, it wouldn't be worth it in the end. (http://www.pinion.gg/)

And if an MC server is getting set up, we could probably use TeamSpeak as a voice chat platform.

The next gameserver will be Minecraft. Not sure when it will be set up.
