Title: Official NA Servers are in need of donations!
Post by: Loki on August 30, 2011, 05:01:21 am
The NA official servers are going to become private again unless the community starts to donate. I didn't realize that this was going to happen until just now. I donated $250 of my own money to keep the NA offical servers official and neutral. I hope everyone can understand how much this would suck and donate whatever you can to keep the Offical NA servers neutral.

To my understanding the money donated cannot be used for anything other than the NA Official C-rpg servers and is donated directly to the hosting company.

DONATE! (https://www.nfoservers.com/donate.pl?force_recipient=1&[email protected])

I admit, I wasn't going to simple abandon the servers because I was tired of getting so much shit from every single member of Ecko's penis, but since Ecko Donkleaps Airith offered to take them and run them, with the exception that Espu runs the Strategus server, I was fine with it.

However, due to recent circumstances, Loki just essentially funded the server for a full month, making them paid for, for another two months. He also pledged to help get an increase in donations to keep the servers afloat and shrink the brunt of the blow on me personally out of the kindness of his heart.

So yeah.

I believed that the donation for official was the same for EU and NA servers?

They are run by the same team of developers, but financed in independent, seperate ways.  EU Official gets lots of European player donations to chadz and co, but the NA community can do their part to show some love for the server and community by donating a little each month too!

I like how the neutral servers are ran and a clan neutral server is by far the best way to run this mod.

Still need more money for the official na servers.  I don't now about you, but I think this game is awesome.  I paid $30, and have played this game over 1700 hours.  I've donated $300 to different servers.  That comes out to about $0.18 an hour.  Can't get much cheaper entertainment.

Remember how laggy and shitty the ATS servers were?  NA_crpg1 is awesome, and especially NA_crpg3.  We no longer have to worry about clans restarting the strategus server mid-battle so that they won't lose.  That's worth $10 right there.

I don't care if you promote the official servers, but the lies and slander are uncalled for.

The officials do run smoother, and have better specs. Not a lie.

And don't bullshit us with "I thought you were blah lah I wuz wrong." I doubt you thought it in the first place considering how often people shit talk about any of us Fallen.

"shitty" is merely personal opinion.

yes "shitty" is merely a personal opinion and so is how you think how smoother the official sever is.

also did you ever think that people shit talk about clans like Fallen because of posts like this one and the actions of its members?

last i was talking to loki and not fallen so i wasnt shit talking about them but TY Tears for the post :)

How are these servers a "neutral" server?

Define neutral?

I like playing in both the na_crpg1 and na_community battle servers, I've never noticed any difference in gameplay though.  But I fail to see how the "official" NA servers are any more neutral than any other na_crpg server...

Define neutral

They are run by the official c-RPG crew, and only their opinion matters for maps, rules, server names and choosing game admins. They are as neutral as the official EU servers, hence the term Official NA servers.

The fact that the ATS servers are named "community" servers is really really childish imho.  And you don't get to call me a liar, because it's true that Gorath_ATS reset the strategus server in the middle of an ATS strat battle when they were getting their asses-handed to them.  You can't rewrite history, because if history serves us, winners write history, and you guys are losers.

The weatherman has a pretty cool job.  Goes on the news and reports opinions, leaves and fucks hot chicks.

All weathermen fuck hot bitches when they're not on the green screen.  You should consider how important opinions are with this knowledge.

I ping about 40 to each.  Latency can indicate whether or not there is a good backbone for network traffic the server resides on, but in most cases if you are co-located in a datacenter you're going to have multiple redundant WAN connections.


They are run by the official c-RPG crew, and only their opinion matters for maps, rules, server names and choosing game admins. They are as neutral as the official EU servers, hence the term Official NA servers.

I see, I just assumed neutral meant it was run by people who aren't in factions or aren't in factions who participate in strategus.  If you play in strategus and have access to the server, you are inherently biased.  I'm not saying that's going to necessarily matter, but it's the bottom line.  And I'm not saying it's just the "official" servers that have biased admins, every server does...I just think it's silly to pretend the official servers are somehow unbiased (aka neutral) and that other servers don't share this unique quality.

The reason it is often considered neutral or called neutral is the way the servers were set up by Classical/Zealot. He offered to pay for brand new servers and let chadz/Dev Team pick who would handle selecting the admins for the server without Classical/Zealot having any real access to admin powers or anything like that. Shik was picked to head the NA Official servers and made his selections for admins without influence from Classical/Zealot, therefore it is as neutral as possible. I am leaving a few details and reasoning and out to avoid mud slinging but this is the main reason why they are considered neutral.

The fact that every other post of yours is filled with the furious internet hate of a sex-deprived neckbeard is really childish imo. Your arguments are opinions and your agenda is well known, so why don't you just buy a punching bag or take up biking to blow off your rediculous aggression before posting if you want anyone on this forum to take you seriously.
Title: Re: Official NA Servers are in need of donations!
Post by: Tears of Destiny on September 08, 2011, 05:52:57 pm
Regardless, the Officials are Neutral in that not a single game admin can suddenly decide "Let me reset this in the middle of a fight." Only the cRPG Administration (Which are far more neutral for NA battles then any of us NA folks) can reset the server.

Further more, we don't "change" the rules suddenly, so there is stability. There is a lengthy post explaining the rules so you don't have to worry about some Admin twisting something to suit him when the rules are clear cut. Anyone can go to the link, point and say "No, that is just your personal opinion, here is how it is."

In my opinion the Official servers are more neutral then any server which is Owned and Largely Operated by a specific clan, and has the head of that clan choosing other administrators instead of official cRPG officials choosing them. If there is a problem with any of the Official NA cRPG Admins, then the Official Devs get to say and judge what happens, instead of potentially a head of a clan saying "Oh let me jidge this game admin that is also in my clan." In my opinion, this is more neutral then any clan run server.

I am not saying that clan owned and operated servers are somehow corrupt, but I am saying that The Official Servers are more Neutral in that no clan holds all the cards, and can not abuse server rights and get away with it unchecked, and that if anyone abuses power then there is no potential for favoritism. Technically there is a clan of "devs" but note that none of the NA Official Admins are VRN, so even that point is moot.

For everyone else posting in this thread, stop the petty squabbles. This is not a thread to give posts like the one right above me, thank you. Now shush.

Tears, my double posting is only a format style.  Whether or not the posts were made in the same minute, the style conveys a passage of time and my "sticking with it."  You see, my insinuations of Shadow being a moron and basement dweller constantly ridiculed by his father were much stronger when separated than together.

Double posting is freedom when done properly, don't get made at me for being a novelist in a Web 2.0 world, man.

I like how people pretend that this forum gives a shit about freedom and is not a dictatorship, where sometimes peopled get muted simply because a dev or admin is irritated. It is truly adorable to see that some believe rules are the same on the internet everywhere. :lol:
