I really like the idea of a minecraft server, I havent really played it since June last year, this would get me back into playing it a bit more, sounds great, PP.
It's cheaper to take advantage of somebody offering for free then up the ante if necessary. In the case of TF anyways. I mean, any kid wanting to do such a thing will Google Minecraft hosting and the first thing that pops up is this site and look at those prices per month. 80 players for freakin 55 bucks a month dude. Any person that has a capable machine and little players could forgo all of their rate plans right then and there. I'm offering up to 100 or so players before asking a 50c per person that could up that to 300 or 600 players. These guys are running less hardware per blade than me and offer 1Gb which I could IF the playerbase was high enough. But 55 for 80 player, when I'm offering for FREE up to 100 just because I'm nice and bored. Sure, this doesn't equate to the entire Minecraft playerbase but **** man 7.49 for for 20 players. I could grab a cheap *** machine off CL or in the dumpster behind a big business that would handle 40 players and one or two months worth of hosting cost would upgrade the RAM easy. I suppose if the person doesn't have the internet bandwidth readily available it's their only choice but hey, I have it. Anybody with common sense would take advantage of the opportunity.This is the whole reason most people with common sense would configure a server on a cheap host then as marketing begins up the ante or slowly gain traffic over time and slowly upgrade over time.
Starting out with a whopper server sets the expectation that you're going to have a whopper crowd. But that's never the case.
I just asked my friend I mentioned earlier and he said he could have a server up in less than 30 minutes ready for 300 people lol
Least there's some positivity here lol. I mean what's better than somebody saying here, I'll lend you this expensive hardware and net connection to make a server. Have fun.I really like the idea of a minecraft server, I havent really played it since June last year, this would get me back into playing it a bit more, sounds great, PP.
His stuff isn't vanilla. He already has it setup just we installed an IBM rack in his office so we'd need to move over the blade and run cable to it. That's what would take about 30 minutes. Again, idk the extent of it but the software has been done for a while now.That would be a very generic server - the kind of servers that populate the bottom 80% of typical servers that currently saturate the market.
Hell with a simple license of TCadmin it automates installation of MC and MCMA. You click a button and you're ready for however many people on a generic install.

Let's see what Luke wants to do. If he doesn't come through I know for sure my buddy will toss his up. Idk what all he has going on with his server but it's better than nothing and can be migrated.I wouldn't know where to start.
Paranormal seems to be sh**ing on your idea here, chill paranormal. PP is doing a nice gesture here...
