Admin Notice: Server hosting and denial of service attack

[yurineova]

$5/$10 ain't that much... I spend $5.36 on Red Bull on Mondays and that's only for one day, $10 for... forever is nothing.

Look, I dont play EVE because (AND SOLELY BECAUSE) its pay to play. This game isnt worth me getting headaches and getting involved with so much and on top of that paying ever 5-10$ a month is ridiculous. And dont say a "One-Time Fee" because it dont work like that.

If you put a pay to play in effect, I'll just leave for eve and I bet alot of others will too.

Oh, and this is a little over my second year (About 2 1/2 years) being here. I aided in the construction and was the founder of the Mandalorians, which are rather large here now. I've made suggestions, I worked on textures, I'd liek to think I'm definitely rooted in this community. When people (I think it was 8) notice me posting (Not a "I'm Back", but just a regular post) within 10 minutes and greet me back, that says something.

Pay to Play will kill this. I know a buddy who has a good connection, he has a clean record here (He joined the same time I did) and he's considering to put in his request to host it, whether its temporary or not. If he can accept, he has strong security and is very savy with defending against hackers. Best part is he covers the server maintenence himself and I dont believe he works off donations.

His current server is a dual core clocked to 3.6 GHZ per core. He says he has a small business connection, 3G. If all checks out and the admins approve, he may be a new host. Or it could all catostrophically fail and we die as a community.

EDIT Also he has a small hard drive dedicated to RAM (via applications and such) so he has like 10 gigs of ram off board. Memory isnt a issue on his pc, his server is definitely up to snuff. I just need to convince him to put in a app so we can get back on discovery >.<
