hey,
i have been working on my own mmorpg game for months now (almost 8 months) and it is almost ready to go into beta but this is where the main problem arrives, i have no server to alow people to test it, this game features things that other games dream of like low lag levels because for every person it is only 2kbs they have to send to the server. if anybody could help that would be great, if this is off topic then can someone point me in the right direction

    you think your going to get a dedicated server for free? hehehe
  • UnrealSWATUnrealSWAT Member Posts: 186
    i am just hoping somebody can let me use their server, doesnt really have to be dedicated or anything but i can afford getting a dedicated server because they are £50+ per month on any website i check, i just need a server for people to play the game, i have invested £1600+ into this game and now i am letting people play it for free. since i am doing something generous cant somebody help me out?

    Just wondering, what language did you write the mmorpg in?
  • UnrealSWATUnrealSWAT Member Posts: 186
    it's kind of a mix, it uses blitz for script writing but the actual engine is a made in another language

    Well, I do not see how you can run and test a game without physical access to the server.

    I doubt even the most extensive services out there, ( that are even remotely within your price range ), have all the features you need.

    And even then you would need to remote operate it.

    The easiest, and only way as I see it, is to set up your own, at home.

    Depending on what connection you have and what the bandwidth consumption is, ( and judging from what you said it is very low ), even a 1/10 DSL connection would let you run with 20-30+ players.

    Also a hardware issue of course but even a semi old computer can handle more then your bandwidth lets trough in dedicated mode so probably not as big a thing.

    I really do not see how you can setup, operate and test something like this on a remote system unless there is someone there that know your software and above all is willing to invest time in its operation.

    i can set up the server ip to anything, so i use localhost then run the server exe from my own computer, i could set up my computer to run a dedicated server but my internet is on a router and there are three computers on it so i would have to deprive anyone else in my household of internet to use it.
