[Resolved]Pub Server Crisis[Ricey is God]

FF peeps -

Our pub servers are diminishing!

Talos is gone, what happened to it? Even though it is a semi-laggy and a non default 2.44 server (spies have emp, HW mirv, etc...) it was the only decent pinging server for east coasters with a nominate and RTV function. Talos and OT are the only popular and non passworded servers we have left and 1/2 of FF's players including me are banned from OT.

The only other servers that have a reasonable ping for me.. (East Coast US)

Lunar landers - (which is pretty fail / boring, I never see anyone in there nor do i enjoy low gravity, zzzzzzz)

Civilian server - Good ping and seems to be a good server but has no rtv or nominate functions, so hell no i am not sitting through that terrible rotation.

All the rest i ping over 150 ms to. Probably west coast US or euro servers, and I will not play Euro, Euros play in US, FF's Birthplace.

Are my pain medications causing a horrific state of delirium beyond not being able to stand properly, or did I just read that Talos has kicked the bucket?!



I'd be willing to research into paying a server provider for an FF server.

Also, now that I'm bringing it up... is there a place where I can donate in the future?

Idea: Have an OFFICIAL FF server hosted by the FF team that allows people to donate to it to keep it running? Have admins who are respectful and fair, and a decent map rotation/rtv/nominate.

I remember when I went through gameservers, they had it setup where I could give my clan mates a link where they could donate directly to our server and I received a around couple hundred bucks to keep it going for a while.

That sounds like a good idea, I'd be down. (To help keep it up).

NFO is the same way, which I'll be using. It'll be an official FF Server, stock maps to start. It'll be up by midnight.

Awesome indeed.

I was going to invest in some new harpoons, but decided to throw $5 towards this endeavor instead.
