oilman 72 Posted May 15, 2012 Anz5 had 12 slots maximum today. Is this too small? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Freeborne (DayZ) 7 Posted May 16, 2012 Yes. I think it's access has been revoked already. 20 slots is bare minimum I think, but depending on the region they prefer 50 slot servers that will be reliable and provide good experience for players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SnR 16 Posted May 16, 2012 Agree with a set slot amount, as 1x 12 slot will entice 12 more servers to request the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fenrix 9 Posted May 16, 2012 I will not be running it anymore, I had set it up to test out bandwidth and see if I could use a spare server rig I had handy. but was a little to laggy.not that having Freeborne complaining to the devs after 5 minutes of testing the server helped much.it also does not mention minimum slot count anywhere on server setup rules so I had no way of telling what minimum was acceptable. but I agree from an mmo standpoint yes 20-30 is probly minimum you can get away with. but with all the other australian servers impossible to get into due to no free slots, i really didnt think anyone would mind the extra 12.If anyone else wants to set up more aussie servers give me a yell if you need help with server setup/administration i guess. my spare rigs just not upto the task.

Freeborne (DayZ) 7 Posted May 16, 2012 Fenrix, I didn't dob you in or anything lol. I was on TeamSpeak with Antipop though, and he did ask me to find out what your instance ID was and that he didn't realise you were only going to run 12 slots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fenrix 9 Posted May 16, 2012 well get him to update the server hosting rules already. and i did shift it up to 25 but it couldnt handle it. 12 it was reasonably stable and happy.too many virtual boxes running sapping my bandwidths :PI heard rumors of a lite server client or some such, that going to allow smaller servers/lan servers?

oilman 72 Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah, I was just concerned that it was a 50-player server removing slots for group members or something.I'm sorry to hear you couldn't get the server working! :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fenrix 9 Posted May 16, 2012 Nah ive run servers for years, I don't do favouritism, better to convert the people who are able to get into the server into my minions :) and make them allll want to play in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
