From time to time we want to check in with you guys and see if there are any multiplayer games that are being played. Motivation being, if we can give you guys a server for a particular game, then all the better. This check is to see if there might be an opportunity for a dedicated server for a particular game that we overlooked that you guys might enjoy.

Something doesn't have to come out of this thread every time, but it is nice to check in on games you are playing - or even better - stuff you are looking forward to that we can keep our eye on for a dedicated server.

Hey rhad, if nothing comes out of this you could host us a 10 man technic pack server. On the topic of other games, I cant really think of any games with dedicated servers right now.

Can't you have Battle Field 3 dedicated servers? I would play on that, if I had BF3 for the PC.

I would love to bring back Soldier of Fortune 2!

TF2 would be nice, I never can find a good server for that :S

Everyone loves gmod!

Sadly there isn't a universal game that a lot of us play, I prefer the more mainstream games (BF3,HL,Fallout), but then there's people who play more indie games. Looking at the RC games played we play TF2 the most...

I say make it a Tekkit server though.

I like Team Fortress Classic. Much less lag.

I can't really say anything because im in Europe.. wouldnt play on server with latency of 200-300ms. Though i think majority of people would like an FPS game server.

If a new rawcritics server was to be pup up, a modded minecraft war server with guns, planes, and industrial craft, and redpower. I think it'd be really cool and not many servers that have this set up or near it are not real good ones to play on. I think it would draw in alot of players but something you would need is an installer or a .minecraft folder they can download with.

Of course I'd also love a technic pack server if buildcraft was removed (it creates alot of lag in smp and can drain up maps quickly AND IT INTERFERS WITH IC :C ) Also maybe remove some of the more 'magical' aspects of the Technic pack (those obby pillar thingys) and it would be 500% better with pvp in it

Edit 1 (I had a moment of ideas that I hoped to squeeze in before someone read this)
Or another of my favorite ideas would be Tehcnic pack like I explained but with guns (SDK said he would be integrating it with Bukkit fyi)

FOR DAS PVP- Maybe have 4 pre-made teams that can elect a leader. Maybe 2 or 3 at the beginning because it will only be starting up. You can be independent or belong to a team. Each team would fight for control of resources and towns. So three teams (my personal favorite) that have a nicely sized capital each. Then there are about 10 mines and uhhh lets say 7 towns to fight over in Wars along with any player made towns and factories that belong to a faction. You can also take it from an independent person if they don't belong to anyone (this would force people to join a team to protect their places.) You can only take over an enemy's territory if you declare war and then you would have a (3-day?) wait period before you can start fighting! The resource mine would be resupplied (hopefully) every 2 weeks or ON RANDOM. With war with the Technic pack you could use balloons to get over walls! (maybe bomb people?

If it isn't griefing and during a war I dont see why not, you can use reinforced stone!)

Just imagine the fun of a war server with Technic pack and guns >;D

i'm playin technic right now, and it's got BC & IC2. Also, the "magical" stuff is thaumcraft and it's really expensive to use it much. PvP would be a terrible addition to technic, as there's so much redstone circuitry, nuclear weapons, god-tier armor, and other stuff that there'd be no way to live. Heck, get killed WITHOUT other players aiming for me, and I play peaceful.

I added alot of thinking over a bunch of stuff. And there are many ways to prevent bombings. Reinforced Stone, maybe have a rule only to use bombs during war or you will be banned (or could have a feature that only lets you place it if you are a certain rank....like a 'Apprentice Regular' (someone that has been there long enough that you trust they wont just destroy everything but they aren't ready to be a Regular) Also you could have something as you can only craft it and set it up during 'war periods'

Also I use to play a server my friend ran that had Technic pack (thaumcraft and buildcraft removed with Flans Guns [at the time SDK hasnt updated his) We had a setup like I edited into my original and we used primarily all Bukkit stuff. I only remember one time someone used bombs and really messed stuff up. (he somehow spawned it in and then a bot placed it all over underground a city, we had to do a rollback)

EDIT 1: when I say interfere I mean alot of the same stuff Technic does, Build does. And the tin and copper ore are just too much alike and its very annoying. In an interfering way Buildcraft causes alot of lag when one person has a large set up or many people have little, average, or big set-ups.

An Sdk guns PvP server. Would also be amazing.
