TF2GamesI'm sorry if you find me unprofessional. If you want, you can report me if I'm doing my job badly.

How? We don't know who to report you too :P

But why spread the word about the project, if you can't actually spread the word? "We're working on this thing and its going to be huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge. We're gonna launch real soon." - "Cool, can we get any form of proof?" - "No, sorry, we're not ready yet.

eeeBrick_TopHonestly... I would watch out, you could see thousands of people lose their accounts soon.http://puu.sh/c2IAQ/9978520757.png

:\
where is the risk please explain

I am not saying I've ever seen this, but I wonder how many people actually check they've been redirected to steam's website when logging in with the sign-in-through-steam page, and not to sign in at steamcornmunity.com

TF2GamesMr. Foxy, it is so hard to understand that we don't rent from OVH or any other sources? We operate these machines by ourselves. The only thing we really pay for is the hosts. Try to understand this thing before having a chat with us, okay? It's like we pay for ports & internet access for our machines.

Yes, I know how server hosting works. For a time, we (at TF2Center) provided our own server there, and just paid for the rack space and transit providers. It wasn't cheap :)

Try to understand that other people do know what they're talking about, and asking legitimate questions (such as "Why do you need 5000 servers for an active community of 20,000?")

TF2GamesNo no no no no.. It's not even close to 30,000$/month. Where do you guys get these prices? Look, I understand if you're searching for TF2 server hosting service, they are always overpriced, mainly because lots of people order them and they need more and more machines all the time to keep up with the amount of customers.

But we operate our OWN machines, which means we don't rent any machines. These machines are placed around the world and we've cooperated with several hosts to ensure that they will be up and running without problems.

I'll do some maths.

OVH is one of the cheaper server providers in the EU and US. Their best (EU) server offers 24 cores for £160 per month, and 128GB ram. The theoretical limit of servers on that one machine (based off RAM) is 256, but practically 50 would be pushing it based on the CPU, if you want games to not stutter.

So you'd need 100 physical servers, at £160 each per month = £16,000 (around $25,000).

And OVH is the cheap end of the spectrum.

Also, with serveme.tf doing so well, obtaining a server really isn't difficult these days.

TF2GamesI've been in TF2Center and there are moments when there aren't any lobbies available, because it's not easiest thing to create them, to be honest.

You've played 7 games there. Creating a lobby with your own server is up to 6 clicks and typing in an IP and password. More if you want to add restrictions (which you don't appear to support).

TF2GamesLike I said, we operate our own machines and we keep them up and running. We have very high-quality hosts around the world.

Servers can fail, datacenter ISPs can fail. With servers around the world, you will have problems with them.

I'll be looking on with interest to see if this takes off though. I know from experience that saying things and releasing them are very different.

#34 Sezco made me decide to post this in TF2 General Discussion

Hey, I'm one of the TF2Center devs. Sorry I'm rushed for time, but I'll respond later properly. Just wanted to say I think this looks cool, and we should discuss how we can integrate more easily (I assume you're using steam browser which has some known issues - maybe they jump up the priority list)
