ElaKiri Gaming Server!

[GTRZ]

Hi guys how about we start our own gaming server? I mean not something like one guy hosting a game on his computer with his 128k uplink dynamic ADSL connection and few other players connect through Hamachi.

I am talking about a dedicated gaming server with multiple games and maps.
eg..
Counter Strike Source
Unreal tournament
Warcraft
Halo
Quake etc..

And around 200 people can connect and play at the same time with good FPS
and make SL records show them in site. Play with international players, get in to world ranks etc..

So thinking about a server like this

Dual Opteron 242 (Equivalent to Dual Xeon 2.8ghz)
2048 MB RAM
100 MBit Connect
1TB Bandwith per month
2x120 Gigabyte IDE hard drives

But there are some problems for this project.

1. If we start such gaming server all the active members will play games and no one will be in ElaKiri forum?

2. This server costs lot of money, even if we put good percentage of the cost still there are about US$100 per month to be earned to cover the server cost. How to earn that?

3. How many of you like to play online and have time for make teams and go for ranks?

Ela.But I have no idea about that problems.I will think abt thoes

 

[x-pert]

I'm not a big fan of computer games.
But for the people who play games, this'll be a great deal

$100 is a big amount for a month ne machang...
What about using some advertisements to cover that cost ??

I mean, this is the most famous website in Sri Lanka, operating without a single advertisement. So I guess people will understand that you need to use a technique to cover the costs of such a big project.

I don't think that people will just play games without participating in the forum.

If it's possible just enforce a rule like, you have to participate in the forum and post atleast 10 - 50 posts per month to play games or something machang.

Nope... Just leave ElaKiri as elakiri...

Don't put ads in here machang...

I was telling to use ads in the gaming portal. (separate from elakiri)

 

[VIDUrUVAN123]

I think X=pert Idea is good.

 

[VIDUrUVAN123]

100$ is large amount.

[chrishanfernando]

ya good idea

 

[ahamednishadh]

hey!!

nice idea!!

my opinion on da first problem u say is dat,
not all ppl play games(eg-ME). so da ppl who dont play games can keep da forum active and also we when having competitions u can put some rule like only members who r active on da forum can play.
