If we are going to bring it back, we will need donations to bring it up and keep it running... the donate button is on http://scorpious2k.info Donators will receive the same benefits as before PLUS they will be the first to get on the server when it comes up.

I'll need a PM telling me your forum name (from the mantis forum http://www.scorpious2k.net/mantis/disclaimer.html where we will have the s2k forums), account name, email used with paypal, and amount donated.

*looks around and wonders where everyone went when he said "donations" *

If it's anything like SoD then I'd be willing to donate, but I'm not going to donate without tryign it out first. I donate monthly to SoD though and have always donated to them as long as I was playing.

What costs are there for hosting a server? Maybe you guys run server-grade machines and your own internet pipe... which costs money. Just curious how the "real" servers run, since mine is on a w/s class machine and Cox highspeed internet, and works fine for low-population servers.

We did that at first. By the time we had 10+ players on, it was lagging, even after I optimized some code to reduce bandwidth.

We went to a dedicated server which handled the 70+ players on the server very well.

It's nothing similar to SoD.

G rated servers in a T rated game are lame. how "G" is it when the purpose of the game is to kill things? that doesnt sound like a family friendly thing to do

By G rated they really mean like PG-13. No rediculous amount of cursing and acting like your 12. It doesn't mean you have to talk in /ooc about Barney and Carebears as you kill things.
