Tyron Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Just a random thought - anyone interested in contributing to server hosting via Patreon? With about 40 USD per month we could probably set up a new game server for U.S. Players, since many of you seem to have lag issues when connecting to the EU based one. With another 40 USD we could give the EU based server a more permanent home, since it is currently hosted for free by @Geartwo I don't know of course if it really helps everyone with lag issues to have a U.S. based server but we could probably do a test run before getting serious about it, but there should probably be enough interest in paid contributions for that first.

Stroam Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Looks like you can do a trial for up to 12 months on Google compute system and see how it goes. The trial gives $300 credits so you can estimate how much it costs each month before you start paying. It'd be a good way to test how effective it would be for all players in Europe and the US and to see how many players it gets. Google estimates at one core with 3.75 GB ram it'll cost under $30 so your trial will end in roughly 9 to 10 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloquendi Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I usually budget 30-50 USD a month for server/game donations, so this would be fine. I don't use Patreon though, so multiple donation options would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redram Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 I don't really have any lag problems with the existing server, so I'm not really interested in contributing to a US server (though I am in the US) I'd contribute to the official server though. Prob not more than 5 per month though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyron Posted March 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 So tony told me he will be setting up a server, that means this likely will no longer be needed. Better anyway that way, then I can focus more on the game itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroam Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Tony has gotten quite a few past players interested in VS. It's not surprising he's starting a new server up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
