Support FF by hosting QUALITY servers

At this moment, there are fewer than 10 servers that are not empty. And I can understand why. Most servers have horrible ping.

I would like to learn where to rent a server. I don't have much free time to admin or to organize a clan server, but I am willing to pay up to further the cause of our coummunity. I reckon hosting a high-speed, high capacity servers would be the best way I can contribute.

Any recommendations?

The problem is there are too many servers for the average playerbase.

Those servers don't stay empty because they're bad, there just aren't enough players.

So... go buy us more players.

Sorry, we're out of those. But you can go to your local 7-11 and pick up some Frozen TF2 sticks and tartar sauce. It's not as good but a lot of people love it.

The horrible pings depends on where u are and where the server is located. The problem is not the servers, cuse they are more than sufficient around there. The way to fill a server, its to play there, join a couple of plp and go play! i bet that in 5 min it will start to fill If u are European i advise u to rent a server from a uk company like multiplay or inx cuse they ping well for the majority of Europeans and are pretty affordable.
If u need any more detail about servers, plugins configs etc pvt me:P

wtf... why are so many people answering him like that? He made a post, ok, answer him right.dont just make fun of people just for your own enjoyment. Jeez, is this how you want to call people to FF? By being rude? Why am i playing with a [FF-Helper] tag? so people like you scare away the few that not being able to play want to?

Battery, =AS= ze is right. He's our server master ^^. If you want to join our server 85.234.148.39:27025 , but it kinda has european servers ping, so dont know if your ping will get better. Probably not. Just try to enter a good ping server and do some concs, or fooling around. If its like in our server, it will feel up quick. Hugz man.

First whats your location,
Seconded Try The Official FF server,

Third there is a lot of different companies out there it all depends on what you can afford. If you want service and top notch connections your going to pay about $3.00 us per player slot. If you want a decent connection but can't afford that much then you will be looking at about half that from http://www.gameservers.com
Hope this helps also if you need any further help feel free to pm me or check out the FF server server wiki

Your crazy man... $3/slot * 22 slots = $66/month. With that much money you can upgrade your internet connection so you can host a server while downloading copious amounts of porn at the same time.

Ya thats the costs though google "Game servers" and see what you get. The other extrem is to rent a whole box where you get multiple Ip's where you can have your own webhosting and about 5 machines for a few hundred dollars.

because the first post answered his question.
Our smart ass remarks are simple fun, now if we were to be rude, it would be excessive and sadistic wording in an order that would start some serious flaming. Now why you attack me and the others because we were pertaining to our smart ass ways, i dont know, but if you want to be such a dick about it, i cant stop you, but then again, they have pills for that.
