Lots of people asking for a fourth one.


Here's the deal, I am willing to put another one up. That will push our server machine to the limit. If we start experiencing mega lag we'll need to do away with this one. However, we can try it and see how it performs if you guys want.

Also, until I see it getting used I won't add it to hlstats (as it costs me an extra $5/m per server).

Hey if it won't cost any more why not like you said if it starts to lag the other servers we can always shut it down. I say 24/7 dustbowl and I'm pretty sure it will be full 24/7.

I voted yes, I've had no trouble getting any of our servers to fill when they are empty so I think another server is going to fill demand. I do agree that if it impacts performance at all we should stick with 3 (or hold a fundraiser!).

If I add another server it won't be hlstatsx covered until it's popular like the rest. I'm afraid that will seriously hinder it's popularity. If you guys can assure me that it will still be popular then I will activate it...... I just don't want to drop another $5 on hlstats if this server won't get used.

I think a new server would probably do a good job. Especially If it is fast respawn.

WARNING!
Times mentioned in the above post are stated in WHUT time... which is not the time normal humans are accustomed. Whut time is relative. Today is defined as whenever Whut happens to get a bug up his ass and thinks he is gotten sorta of close to being in the mood. The actual real life timeframe for these occurences is unknown at this time. Sometimes it happens more than once in a day and during other periods it would be more like for hell to freeze over than anything actuallly getting done. Currently we are in a time frame where it would seem that there would be more of a chance of Dragon getting a girlfriend as far fetched as that might be than there would be of anything actually happening here.

If it goes any higher, the server lags... and there are way too many anomalies. Eventually  the servers will crash every 3 minutes.
