Middle East Server

[nothing2see 0]

Hello DayZ forum, im in a bit of a predicament as of this past couple weeks. I have rented a server from gameservers.com (free advertising) they boast that there servers dont lag, but see my location is in Kuwait, and most servers in and around my region only host exteremely popular games like Counterstrike and Minecraft. The server that i rented is stationed in the UK, its a laggfest on average i get 260 ping across many servers on Dayz. Pretty soon the devs plan to remap the way servers handle data which means its not going to be the ususal first shots first win that it is now. 

 

let me get to the point and stop blabering about tidbits of information i have soaked up. I have a laggy clan server, i dont plan on keeping it running with this long range lag (from Kuwait to UK) i dont mind shelling out a dedicated server and learning to manage it if it mean i can rid the middle east of DayZ lag, im very inquisitive and detailed, so what are your tips and tricks to getting this done that includes contacting the necessary people once its up and running.

 

i plan on running a small server no bigger than a desktop, smaller if possible, just enough to hold 30-40 slots. and i plan on maintaining it to run all the games the clan plays on. ill be reading up on it some more information i just hope to get the stepping stones from here.

 

Edit: Just so you know, its a public clan server, not a private clan server. the clan in itself is also public anyone can join [sCG] SilentClanGaming. its a stealthfan Clan open to all how like to sneaky sneaky, feel free to join our steam group and our clan server, we recruit a wide range of play styles (Lone wolf, Bandits, Heroes) we also have a team speak server all info is on our steam group. SCG is one big clan that can be broken up into small squads of players, my group plays as heroes you are free to play any way you want and band with anyone in SCG the server is there to allow players an opportunity to meet and play a certain way.

I get 130ms to UK and other EU servers from Dubai. Is there a problem with your line?

 

The server files for DayZ are not available to the public, you can't host a server on your machine, you have to rent them from a server provider. It might be worth contacting a few server providers and seeing if they're able to offer servers in the Middle East, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

I know the server files are not available to the public, the key word public which is why i wanted to know about creating a server station in the middle east. A white listed server. you did not answer my question i know DayZ is extremely easy to hack and due to lack of hardwired security the devs have limited the server files to certain hosting providers which is why i want to try and set up an official host for DayZ in the middle east.

 

My connection is just fine, its the distance that between servers and my location. no gamer should be forced to play a game hosted halfway across the world.

 

if you dont have proper info then don't post your only trolling my post, im running into hackers more and more these past couple days so im willing to wait this out until the security updates hopefully by then ill be able to get the info i need.

You're closer to Europe than I am and claim to have double my ping, I don't think I'm the one trolling. :S

 

Like I said - it may be worth contacting some server hosts to see if they're able to offer ME servers, but I wouldn't be surprised if they can't or won't. There simply isn't a big enough market.

I doubt they will give you their server files to "try out" if you can set up a server since you are "public" in their eyes unelss you found a company which still makes the chance of them giving the files to you low since you are relatively new to the market and therefor you are a possible security gap.

Yea well don't buy into that higher uploads and downloads makes your gaming experience better because it does not. my gaming experience has been the same since my 256kb/512kb days, its still a matter of server optimization and distance (trace routing ports). trust me i'v hopped ISPs and internet packages and its made no difference in my gaming to North American and European hosts unless your uploading stuff to a file sharing site don't waste your money most servers still use basic upload download speeds (such as 512kbps).

 

If you know any ME DayZ hosts this would definitely be the place to post that information.

Im thinking of founding a server hosting company as a start into my gaming career, i have to do some proper research and market studying, i can either start from scratch and compile my own finding which will require months of research, or i can hopefully run into someone who has already started a server hosting company and knows the hardware and software of things. of course i'll be tailoring the information to the Middle East market. I have the capital but i have set a cap on how much im willing to personally invest in this venture, ill have to A) find some investors from family and friends B) find a silent/angel investors from the web. the options are limitless it just requires some time a dedication, i hope some information surfaces on this post, maybe i'll bump when DayZ is running much smoother. ill try and add what ever information i find to this post.
