How much does a L2OFF server costs ?

[BroziI]

Hey, I want to ask you how much does it cost to start and maintain a Lineage 2 OFF server on C5/IL chronicle ? I mean only the development of the server (to have a decent developer) and the software.

Not including the hardware - I think 1000-1500$ will be OK for the machine ?

 

Thanks in advance !

Really  noone knows ?

Really none will tell you :)

300 $ or like that to Fr3d (files)

Monthly paying to a ddos-protected network + machine- around 300+ or?

Getting a developer - even you can manage it with fr3d's help(with some money) but lets say about 100 more..

 

And site/advertisment/etc for some more $$

Why not ? I'm good guy and I won't start a public server. I'm going to make a private one so - No community steal or something like that.

Not checked the prices of depmax recently but last time it was like 850$ :D Fred needed a new car/computer/private plane/motorbike/yacht because his last ones were stolen or something.

Where can I find this Fr3d guy website or any contact info ?

Depends what "platform" your on.

 

C4 requiers nowhere near the ammount of memory access comparing to Gracia Final leaked Daemons.

 

 

You can rent cheap dedicated boxes with +8gb of memory, left and right.

Any of those will be MORE than enough to run probably +2k players.

 

What matters is Disk I/O and Read/Write.

Getting fast disks (15k SAS disks) and lots of ram.

 

GF is another venture, in raw testing only i've come a bit too close to utilizing 16 gb of ram than i'd like.

I can't imagine running a Live server without atleast 24 GB, just to be sure.

 

L2Server will never ever utilize any processors full resources at any time, imho, so it's almost irrevelant as long as you get a Deneb/Thuban(AMD) or Nehalem(Intel) ++ in terms of microarchitecture.

 

I think even less will do.

 

Max 300 USD a month, for a server if not half that will do probably.

 

DDOS is another matter, unless you piss off the wrong people or your known as a dumbass, i wouldn't worry too much.

 

Thats without buying complete p'n'p packs from Fr3d/Kation of course.

That's what I asked for ... A discussion :) Thanks.

@mcbigmac - You damn right I'm a dumbass ... very dumb, and I piss off only bigger dumbasses, but even if I'm not

I belive DDos protect is a must, just in case :)

I'm not going to rent a dedicated server (it's more money) - I believe that a machine like:

Seagate 300GB SAS2 15k.7 1 pcs.    

Seagate 600GB SAS2 15k.7 1 pcs.    

memory 2GB Server 1333MHz DDR3 Reg. ECC 1 pcs.    

memory 8GB Server 1333MHz DDR3 Reg. ECC 6 pcs.    

AMD Opteron™ 12 Core Magny-Cours 6174 2.20GHz 2 pcs.    

Supermicro AS-2022TG-HTRF 1 pcs.    

Stinger Blade Server 1 pcs.

Price:

6969.01 Euro

9622.11 USA

 

But where to locate this baby ?

If you plan on pissing people off, go for dragonara. If you don't, go for somewhere with good customer support and a lot of good reviews :D

Can't really locate bladeservers.

 

They're too expensive to thwat off to mainstream Bulk Dedicated hosting for non serious customers.

(That's us).

 

Between getting proper storage from a SAN, a Blade Enclosure and blades.. thats' a hefty cost comparing to a bunch of rack servers.

 

Most aren't bonded with drives and access storage via Fibre Channel SAN's.

Most are used in terms of virtualization because of the small size and much ram utility with newer Processors.

(Perfect for VM Cloud hosters with small "virtual" servers in quantity, or a larger company's internal organization).

 

 

You can't really effectively protect against DDOS, you can only hope whatever host you choose - out of interest for their customer decides to help out.

 

A real dedication to migrating a DDOS attack will cost you... ouchies knows how much.

At the same  time shellbooters are minimal ddos, so finding a good host that generally doesn't BOOT they're customers if they're attacked is key - and those who might help a bit.

 

Most likely however they will have very outdated hardware, rarely capable of getting more than 16 GB ram due to the limits of the memory controllers on old processors.

 

 

So for running GF, it's going to be expensive if you want the full deal.
