Do you have to pay for it cause i cant because i have no credit card or is that just for a ranked server

**machowner** · 03-01-2008, 07:23 PM

unless you are running the server from your own box with your own internet connection, it does cost money to rent both unranked and ranked servers.

Of course not, people will just work for free, and let you use their servers too...

Turkish, dont be a dork. Yes, you have to pay for ranked and unranked servers unless, as stated, you're hosting the server off your own computer. However, unless you have a very very nice connection, a full server on a home computer connection is probably going to be a lagfest.

Turkish, report for appropriate human-interface training, verbal communications module, for recalibration...again.

*psst* add a smiley next time...you have all the social grace of a steamshovel.

See?

"Now Twiggy, you must pay a server company to host your server, unless you have a computer set aside for standalone work.

They are fairly expensive, so I wish you luck in any endeavors your heart may desire.

May my deepest support and sympathy be with you"

Did the system reboot work? My HD has been loaded with crap lately...

P.S I actualy like steam shovels

Home connections don't have the upstream bandwidth to host any kind of game server with more than 2-4 players. For that, you really need a server hosted in a data center. There, you pay a big gob for the outbound bandwidth. (I dread to think what Apophis bandwidth bill is!)

However, if you want to get your feet wet, you could host a LAN server for your local friends to play on. It's a good way to learn about what's involved in running a server. Before the Internet, that's how we all played multiplayer.
