LTT Gaming Server?

[JacksonGrey]

During the last WAN Show (Oct, 20th 2017) Linus made a comment in regards to the possibility of hosting an LTT Gaming Server. It seems that this is something that people like the idea of. 
How do you feel about this and what games would you like to be included?

I already manage the GetRekt.com Rust and ARK servers. Problem is LTT members are very spread out so they have to be games where latency isnt such an issue unless hes just going to cater go a particular region.

If I get what he said it was going to be one just for the staff to play on.

How about this suggestion:

We as a community host the more latency sensitive servers in different regions like EU, US, CA. We also split up the load of the slower game servers, eg EU hosts minecraft, us hosts paradox games, CA hosts empire at war (running out of ideas). 

These would be community servers, and one could always add another. 

In this forum are quite a few dudes (including me) who would host a small server for this community, just because it gives them an excuse to toy more with server hosting. 

A simple more internet connection of like 50/10 can handle a quite a few players, probably more than would realistically play.

because "we" in this case means LTT which has better things to do with their computing power and connection than hosting game servers.

No, I meant us people in this subforum... many of us host servers just for the heck of it anyway

That is kinda what I am talking about... I have some free capabilities, too and would gladly host a small-ish game server for EU.

We just need to compile a list of possible hosts, and games in which there is interest.

I want that LTT Halo server. Post or pre WAN Show could occur on there and twitch. I want to beat down Linus and Luke (in Halo) while they chat about shit.

We could do a survey to determine which games most of us are playing. I could also host one myself in the eu.

What you are suggesting is already being done in Norway. A completely community based hosting system, people can host their own servers or borrow a server completely free for a set time period or extended period if the server is populare. Been following the development of this for a while and they are actually taking alot of business away from game server hosting providers.

 

Sadly this option is only available if you actually live in Norway at this moment.. But maybe someone will adapt the same idea for other countries..

Great idea if you ask me!

 

I have a big-ish server sitting in a datacenter doing next to nothing 90% of the time. I'd be happy to allocate some resources to a gaming server ^^

Aren't they building a huge LAN gaming area at their office?  

If people can host their own dedicated servers at home, I'm sure it would be a relatively small amount of LTT resources to do, regardless of if the idea actually takes off or not.

Which I think it won't, based on the wide range of games people would want.

UT99 server anyone? Lol.

Any idea of the name of the community base hosting system? Curious to look into it more just to get more background on it.
