North American server. Forward we go! NEC

[isupreme]

I really enjoyed the game tonight @  9pm EDT.    !  it was surprising to find the North American server populated.   Loved it.     A great group of a dozen players fighting and having fun.    A fantastic ping that does not go to thru the ocean~! 

We can get this game played in North America.   It will happen?

I am happy to be working with the NEC clan who sponsor the server.  They primarily play Call of Duty Black ops,  but are kind enough to share their server with us.

( of course ~ thanks and donations can be sent to :  https://www.nukeclan.com/  )

I am new to the many aspects of keeping a server going,  and i welcome any input offered.    NEC is training me on how to keep the server up so they are not bothered , and i am learning bit by bit.

Your comments about the server welcomed below.

I also was pleased! Usually nobody is on, so I never play there, but FPI or CT. However, if there are people there, I'm more than happy to play! Even if my ping doesn't improve much because of my poor connection, it will still be nice to get the American players playing on an American server when (most of) the Europeans are in bed. : )

Also, thank you, isupreme, for helping out with the server.

Needs more explosions and more shrines to Kane. It is nice to have a NA server, since CT left NA after EU complaints, we haven’t really had a stable NA server since then I believe. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’m happy to assist in any way possible with server config questions or mutator requests, or with setting up Jupiter.

Yeah, was nice to finally play with a ping under 100 

I'm kinda surprised that NA servers don't often have more players, as there are quite a few Canadian developers and regular players... 

@Havoc89 @[NE]Fobby[GEN] @Gliven @Veyron to cite a few

My theory has always been that there is a residual group of players left on a European server in the (American) evening, so since nobody really wants to join an empty server when there's people on another one, the European server population is kind of self-perpetuating, even if most of the players on it sometimes are American players. I guess server logs could confirm or deny this.

We do need to encourage people to join the American servers during the American evening, though. Hopefully, last night's occurrences will someday be regular.

I didnt have a chance to get on last night. But that's awesome to hear! 

 

Let's get NA rollin' strong! Low ping for all!! =D

[Syntharn]

I am one of the residual EU players, im usually up until 06:00 in the morning playing.
I dont mind playing with ping above 100, Renegade X is very forgiving for a FPS when it comes to ping difference.

However the NA are so rarely populated ive only been there like twice, would very much like to see a more active NA servers and players so this game can be played 24/7.
Im very much guilty of not joining empty servers, or even below 10 in population depending on the map.

Yep.   I am not one to go advertising another server while i am on one tho... so as always it will be up to the players to choose, which is cool.

 

I do wonder if we might find one night a week to focus on.   I.E.   Monday nights players will try to join in after 8pm EDT.  ~~ or some such thing.

For sure. If you're too pushy, people won't come. Respect for all is the way to go.

Well we did try to fill up the NEC server, but it crashed on walls. The server tried to load walls_flying when it has been replaced with walls_snowing for the winter update.

[isupreme]

Saw it was down.  I am working with NEC to enable the server to restart when it does.

[limsup]

That should be sorted by a new hotfix very soon...

[isupreme]

NEC thinks they got their end straightened out.  

Looks like we go back up servers to use as well.  !

[Syntharn]

I was pleasantly suprised to see so many players online during the middle of the night yesterday/super early today.
Around 02:30 03:00 CET there was around 20 players online playing Eyes.

Played on the Fairplay INC server, based on players ping only 2 players were in the EU (or maybe a few just had shitty internet)
Again, I dont mind playing on a NA or east server at all, but I guess its a hassle to get everyone to migrate from an active server to an unpopulated one.

Thanks Syntharn.   I would not have know the server was being used without your note.     It is nice to know.

 

[EnkerZan]

A server is finally in the US? And nobody bothered to flag me to support it...

[roweboat]

Yeah we've been able to get 10-15 NA players on almost every night now. Not always on NEC tho lol

[isupreme]

Nice to see 10 players on tonight  @ 11:00 est.      Lets blow some shit up!

[isupreme]

Nice to have some action at midnight tonight.!  (EST)

  6 players..  having fun and learning maps and messing with recon bikes.

I  really enjoy the laid back atmosphere of these small games.   Gives me time to practice command controls.

Thanks all.

 

And if 6 does not seem like much...  WoT only had 90.   so...     that makes ren x   6/90 of WoT.  in the wee hours of the night....

Small games can be fun, and intense! And teaching new players can be fun too, and it's good for the game. Glad to hear the server is still used! I'm don't often look that late at night. : )
