Total BF2 Server Launched

[CaptainKirk]

After several weeks of planning, the Total Battlefield 2 server has been launched! With the help of our friends over at Walmart Security, we have put up a 64 player MyIS (http://myinternetservices.com) server located in New York. Take a look:
Thanks to very generous donations (Especially by XmetallicaXguitaristX and Alanman on behalf of WSS), we now have the funds to pay for a 64 slot BF2 server. I'd also like to extend my appreciation to the Server Council and all the other donators for helping us make this server a reality.

See the whole thread and see more information on admins here (http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/main/showthread.php?t=144536).

Here is the server information:
IP: 72.9.96.243
Port: 16567

See you on the Battlefield!

You had to be part of the server council/kick for slot donators list.

No connection whatsoever, apart from the fact we're on the same site :)

I shall probably be online tonight, anyone up for a pub?

[DOGGiE52]

Hell yes.

EDIT: NO NO NO. NO NO NO. 120 freaking ping, I hate this. Can't TV for ****, and flyby view takes 5-6 seconds to load. Horrible. This fails.

[Tomeis]

120 ping = bad? lol.....

[Corkum]

I checked it out this afternoon, empty. I drove the FAV around for a while, but was otherwise disappointed. Hopefully some people start using it.

[RYKUU]

[Webs961]

You still can. All you need to do is go to your User CP and click on Paid Subscriptions (http://totalgamingnetwork.com/main/payments.php). Then, select the Server Council Membership one and just go through the payment process (Credit card or PayPal). You will automatically be granted rights to the admin forum here for exactly one month. :)

[ThermalCrab]

[Lt Davis]

This should be fun. :D

keeping ti populated is a problem,though once the ws guys come on it gets going pretty good,we got up to 14 or something today.

[Oli]

Constructive Criticism:

In my experience trying to populate various clans servers, 64 slot servers don't seem to want to populate. Between 24 and 32 are the optimum sizes for a regular player base. 16 is too small and things like 48 are a bit of an odd number.

May i suggest 2 x 32 player servers, one in the US of A and one in Europe?

Doggie (As much of a moaner he is) may have a point, where the high pings are putting off some of the Europeans. I'm happy to play with high pings but it still doesn't encourage me to go and play, along with 64 slot servers seem to have a bad aurora around them regarding base raping, hacking, and general "idiotness" of players

That's a good suggestion Oli, I'll run it by the server council, see what they think.

We're Walmart Security, budday, we bring teh PARTAY! :yay:

RKO: So, rather than have a game with a group of people in, you want to divide the numbers even further just for the sake of a little better ping.

I get 90+ ping, so maybe i'm biased.

Thats not the idea of it. The idea is that, with a smaller server, better pings, and a lot of people coming from Europe, that at least one or even better both servers get populated. RKO come in this thread, and read my post about it at the top and it'll all make sense

[Hawkers]

64 player is a bit of a beast!

[Oli]

64 player is a bit of a beast!

And thats coming from someone who likes big things;)

[[WS] ALANMAN]

(from same thread)It's just a suggestion. There are some people who would benefit from this much more than just a better ping, but the connection overall would be more stable.
