New ranked server for boards.ie members!!

TheHairyFairy

In support of the Irish Battlefield Community tig.bf2 would like to offer our 64 player ranked server as a boards.ie server. This will mean it will appear in server browsers as "boards.ie tig.bf2 64 Ranked {by Gaming365}'". The current boards.ie mini inf league has proven that there is still a vibrant battlefield community in Ireland.

We will run it with a full rotation of maps and with no reserved slots. In order to allow for a good gaming experience we will also need a few responsible boards.ie members to admin the server when there are no tig admins around. Please either PM myself or Lucutus here on boards.ie or speak to us in IRC. It would be better if those applying had some previous experience of server admin.

Hopefully boards.ie members and battlefield players in Ireland will make use of this server and enjoy the gaming to be had on it.

Regards tig.bf2|fairy

[EDIT]

The server has already been changed and is running a full map rotation. Details are 82.195.136.136:16567.

Fair play Fairy.

MiCr0

wunderbar!

Vegeta

I cant praise you guys enough, it will prob become my most played server if we can get all these guys on it. Well done

Nelix

Noice one Fairy, this will hopefully drum up more interest in BF2.

chalky

Sweet. Will be playing there tonight.

Ponster

Well done folks....

If this really worked out I think that some groups like ASCII might prefer to spend any spare cash they have on a server that could be more easily populated then their current one???

I know I'd be willing to offer up some € if needed if I knew a boards.ie server would survive.

R0ot

I'll be there tonight for sure! Sniper Rapeage

the_syco

To find it, just type boards in the search box Example

dazftw

Thats fair sound..:D I shall be there tonight ! Will it be using teamspeak or any kind a program ?

Ponster

Well as It's a TiG server I suppose that TiG wouldn't mind too much if people used their TS server though personally I think that VoIP is just more flexable and easier for people to operate.

Does this server support VOIP if so I will defo be using it then, if not what is the TIG TS channel

Winters

The TiG TeamSpeak server can be found at: games3.iol.ie:8787


Enjoy lads

V9

This is great, fair play to ye, lads.

Evd-Burner

Im going to head onto the server now if anybody else wants to join it with me....

Spear

I'll be there tonight, assuming I don't suffer the indignity of being snowed into my place of torture/work.

Jackabo

Played fairy ,would be like back in the VietNavan server in Bfv & Ts ..Just Full of the Mad Irish !!!!:D

Gone West

sweet, gonna hop back on the server tonight.
Its always good craic when 90% of the people youre fragging and working with are Irish.

Just spotted this:

If you type in %boards.ie and hit enter, it will find the server directly without you having to trawl through stuff.

tig.bf2|valen

You are all a pack of freeload'in scum!!

Enjoy our server!!!!!

Played Fairy you shirt lift'in PHAG!! :v:

IG-Calibre

if I can get this frigging game to run longer than 5mins i'll be on later for a rip..:D

Dcully

Good stuff TiG,another added to favs

Ponster

Could I make a suggestion and say that 64 players is kinda big for this type of server where we may only get 10-15 people playing.

Or do people think that as soon as we have 16 there won't be any problem in getting non boards.ie people to find the server and join ?

fatturkey

great idea cheers

can i say your completely wrong cause there are 34 on right now

Nice one

IG-Calibre

Aye, good oul craic tonight indeed, server nearly had a full 64 on at one stage, and there were still 40 odd going at it when I called it quits, hope it keeps that kind of traffic up..

Winters

As we said, anyone who is going to be using it regularly and knows how to admin a server just pop onto irc (#tig.ie on Quakenet) or drop Fairy or Lucutus a PM and they should sort ya out.

Keep the tards from the prawns

Zillah

Oooh we could have done with an admin tonight! Such fun, easily five utter tards randomnly and deliberately tking. Rope and I racked up some impressive negative scores keeping them at bay...

But I spoke with Fairy and he's setting me up with basic admin so at least things will be ok when im playing

And it'll need plenty of Admins if it's going to be anything remotely like it was, tonight. ****ing awful ****e was going on for rounds on end, what with arsehole vehicle whore TK'ers and just wankage in general... Was screaming for an Admin in both team channels but to no avail.

The sooner we get some regular Admins onto the server, the better. On a positive note, the whole server was full to the brim and gaming only just ceased now (1:42am).

Hopefully this will be the case most nights.

Well for some reason my in game admin commands aren't working, tonight i had a good few games on the server, but i did notice alot of idiots running around

V9

these TKer's piss me off, one lad shot me over a jet! when I wanted something done about hit he came along and did it again! I let most things go but acting the eejit like that is not on, ruins the game...

TheDoc

o man o mani cant wait, dieing for my new pc to get here so i can bf2 it up.....and show yu all my domination =P

Irishpimpdude

If anyones here hop on the server

Winning Hand

Might pop on for a few rounds this evening. Look out for SuitsYou

TheHairyFairy

How do people feel about the server as a 64 man. I typically find that the most muppetry goes on on a 64 man server. Add to that the lag induced by larger maps and it tends to ruin the game.

Personally I feel the server runs better at say 48 man slots, plenty for the community here, and also less lag etc.

Add to that 32 player maps and the odd 16 player map and you will have a lot more fun.

Have a think.

Fairy

TheHairyFairy

Aye I agree, just nicer all round. I'll get a few of ye's together on Sunday evening and we'll sort out admin.

Fairy

Wavey

Yep, I would aggre with that. 64 player maps always seem to attract a certain type of fckuwit!

40 to 50 woud be plenty ide say.

As soon as the number went above 40 lastnight i thought the quality of game dropped.

Also would boards users have any say in the map rotation? Or will that be up to whatever admin is present?

Berns

Am guessin it would be just the whole map rotation. If a number of people didnt like some maps I'm sure they could be removed. But if started havin admin change it all the time it would be annoying & people might not want to change map every couple of minutes or play one repetativly.

Am startin to think it might be better about 40. Origionally missed the 64 man but it does really need admin 24/7. Plus if usin 64 man maps with less people they do last longer & more chance of getting the badges / ribbons etc :rolleyes:
Smaller maps prob wouldn't last as long so thinkin should stick till 64 maps.

TheHairyFairy

Yes boards.ie people can decide on a map rotation. Myself or Lucutus will be the only ones who can change the main settings on the server, or add maps into / take maps out of the rotation.

Any of the new boards.ie admins can then change the order of the maps, change next map, move on to the next map etc.

If no one objects I'll run the server with 48 player slots and 32 player maps.

Fairy

Berns

I object
They'd be too short tbh :rolleyes:
40/48 on 64 maps

Yes exactly. I got to kick a few base rapers today

Winters

BF2CC really sucks. I honestly dont understand why EA/DICE used it over BlackBag Op's. Id have taken BBOp's anyday.
