Clan "LANSE"

[jason]

Lo,

Who do we have that's interested in getting this ball rolling?

Game wise, I'm not too bothered what we play - but is TF2 going to be more forgiving?

Do any of you have connections so we can get a game server up and running for "not a lot" per month. Alex's m8 still has our old box which we can use. . . .

[Bluey]

I've played COD4 once and am up for more of that, looks like i'm waiting for xmas to get it though

[blade]

What up/down speeds do you need to run a server.

[jason]

down = more than up

up circa 2-3 meg peak

[blade]

When my bethere gets connected i will do a speed test and post here.

[Sencerd]

you cant run a server on the home connection, there's far more to it than just peak throughput, I think Jason meant anyone that can have the server hosted in a datacentre

[jason]

ye,

home connections aren't up for it really.

We have the machine. . . . . supposedly, Alex, has this bloke got a phone number?

[Bluey]

don't they block ports required for hosting servers on domestic connections?

[blade]

Shame, thought being as im hardly ever home it might be of some use. Bethere claim that they dont block ports, i will find out when i get connected on friday.

I'll definately be up for joining you whatever, but having tried my hand with some of the other Intel guys at the Multiplay i32 Team Fortress 2 tournament, i can safely say it's NOT FORGIVING

I'd love either TF2 or CoD4 ...
