New Server & Paypal maybe?
-
@admin @mikkel @administrators
Hey Mikkel we need you to be the one who owns either the Prepaid credit card or the Paypal account that'll be used for the server payments. Most people will be more comfortable sending donations if you are the one we are sending the donations to... That way we know they're going directly towards the new servers. And if you own the method of payment, you can select exactly what kind of customization is best.
And P.S. @the-sniper
Go to speedtest.net and change the server you're pinging to Greenland & press go and tell us what ping you get. (Everyone should do this)

@King-John @Mikkel @administrators @Unstoppable @itzcrank @ocelotl @Skillz @the-sniper @toosmooth @CapAmerica
Can everyone post a picture of your ping to green-land below, mine is 77
-
Montreal I get 97 ms. Montreal might be a good option because it will accommodate US players but is far enough out for UK players I would think. Try pinging Montreal.
-
@The-Sniper @Reaper Reaper would probably be in the same situation as you are in right now if we opt for Montreal. I get 81 ping. In my opinion, I think we should pick a server that's in the USA. You and Black Bear are both getting the same ping. What country are you guys in?
Why don't we just go for New York again?
-
I have no problem with donations but I can imagine them suddenly stopping, then I'm stuck with the payments.
-
I get 39 ms ping to Montreal. Sounds like that could be the best spot then.

If you stopped paying wouldn't the server just go down? Then people would need to donate again if the server was down.

I'm on the west coast in the USA. New York works but the quality of the server we were on wasn't working out so it would need to be upgraded to something better. People won't be excited to donate if it skips and lags all the time.
-
@The-Sniper they would probably delete it after some time, and we would have to go through the whole thing again.

@admin how about we donate and see how much we can raise? Create a PayPal mikkel and we’ll donate. Make a donation post Mikkel.
-
@dontquitman Everyone got good ping in new york. @admin @mikkel Can you set up a paypal and make a post about donations please
P.S. Bringing back single player is a way to attract new players. If you can do that and it isn't inconvenient then it would be amazing.

I don't have a paypal, didn't for years, I know it's quite cumbersome to set it up, to connect it with your bank account and such. I would prefer to be without this tedious task.
I'll leave this to the community, if you rent a server, I'll set it up. I recommend digital ocean, super user friendly and easy. You can get a virtual server there for as low as $5 a month, in any region. The servers with guaranteed CPU time starts at $40 a month, but I think a $5 server might do the trick. Just click "add droplet" (they call it droplets), select your region and city, set a username, password, and you have a server. Then send ip to me along with root password. You can also invite me to digital ocean as admin if you're not sure on which server to use.

@admin Then prepaid cards would be best, the best chances for success is if we're sending payments to you. Just start a donations post and see how much we're able to raise. And do you think it makes a difference when you spend more?
-
I can't make a new account at digital ocean because I already have one there.
-
@admin Okay I've got an idea Mikkel, i'll message you on discord.
-
@admin I sent the info in pm, let me know if anything is an issue.
-
Ok I will have time to set it up tuesday
-
@admin When we upgrade to a guaranteed CPU server, will you have to set it up again?
-
I think you can upgrade on the fly
-
It's digital ocean?
