Interest in joint clan server?
« on: 01-10-2009, 13:10:01 »
Are there any serverless or small clans that would be interested in coming in on a joint/shared 64 slot server and splitting the costs with SOE as equal partners (before anyone asks, no the server wouldn't be called SOE *Teamwork* as it is now)?

This isn't a ploy to get control over or money out of other clans, it's a proposal for some like minded clans who'd like to run a 64 slot teamwork who don't have the numbers or the finances to have a server. For us money isn't a issue but that we'd like to play on a populated server with real teamplayers and not just endless rounds with uncontrolable smacktards.

We'd also may be interested in donations from individuals in return for admin rights, maybe...

Question:  How does having enough disposable income to donate money to strangers indicate that a person would be a good and fair arbitrator of the rules of a server?

This has always bugged me and makes no sense what-so-ever.  When I used to play Counter-Strike, every server had idiot Admins who abused their powers but nothing could be done about it because they had handed over enough money that no one (except the players) seemed to care.  If you are going to give people the power to regulate your server and make sure that everything runs smoothly and everyone plays by the rules, what does money have to do with it?  Wouldn't it make more sense for Admins to be players who frequent the server, know the rules, are known to be fair, and are dedicated to helping everyone have a good time?

I'm sorry for butting into your business, but it kind of struck a nerve with my past gaming experiences.  Notice how I said I "used to" play Counter-Strike?  I don't play it anymore.  Partially because of idiot Admins, but more because I found FH2 (:P).  Anyway, I'm sorry.  I'll let you do your thing.  Good Luck with your endeavor.

hence me saying "maybe"  :)

seeing there's zero interest at the moment we'll probably shut it down because we might have no problem with paying for a server but we wont waste our money like many clans here with empty ones.

Before you shut it down, wait a tad longer, the 130th is discussing this fact internal.

Sorry for getting to this party late.

I am Hasselhoff, 130.Pz clan XO. We are interested but if its not too late.

If its not too much trouble i would like some more info(questions)

- Where will the server be located?
- What kind of admin will we share or receive?
- Will it be a public/private?
- How much of a split are we looking at (financial split)?
- How many slots?
- What clans are we sharing it with?

If you are still interested shoot me a PM please and we will try to work something out.

ok, we have just cancelled our server a few days ago but ofcourse we can always look into renting a new one. I've passed the message on to Bigwookie, he is our clan dictator  :P

- Full admin rights on a wel known public server where you can recruit and have the proper fun and saying in map rotation.

It's win-win. To add:

- strong active community behind which would support your clan
- advertising side-effects
- clan opportunities to join together campaigns, which are good trainings and fun nights
- TS (private server or shared), website, forums and technical support could be added to the offer for a special price

We are even thinking of opening another server which would only be used for clans trainings and battles, a 100% clan server. Also we have some 64 players servers which would be available too.

Oh I am sorry mate, I thought you dropped the server so it would not be a problem. I really am sorry.
So if you guys still are up to it then please ask a admin to delete our posts, the last thing I want is to be in your way.

Edit: On a side note it is also a offer to you guys from SOE.
