Wow, I didn't realize hosting servers were that cheap. But are they good and fast?
I'd be willing to help pay, but I'd like to figure out how fast it's going to be for me first. I suppose sending you a check would be the best way, but we can figure that out later if this ever happens.
Its a dedicated server or at least a part of a server dedicated to your game, so I'd hope they are nice and fast But hey, if someone wants to donate or whatever, thats fine by me. I'm not forcing anyone to do so.
If I chose 16 it would be $64 a month for a private server. If we did that, I would ask for a little help on that. And from reading the FAQ, it says the Admin can have control over what map can be used, rotation period, and whatnot. https://servers.unrealtournament.com/www/faq/
So there's what I see so far. Looks pretty painless to setup. Less then 5 minutes and the server is running.
I'm not sure if it's still a 9700 Pro, but it's somewhere around that range. I played a successful game of Onslaught without it locking up. I'm going to play a few more games just to make sure it's working.
