Deus Ex has quite a few players, but one big problem. Quite alot of assholes.
In RPG alot of people item spam, ignore warnings and then end up banned. In the time ive hosted a popular RPG, I saw alot of idiots come and go along with genuine players.
I personally think alpha would do good back in DeusEx, i left and havnt opened it up in ages, im just determined to come back and continue coding and mapping and hosting for it. Cheap servers are avalable from:
counter-strike.com for very good prices. $14.99 for a 10 slot public. They dont even notice if you up it, you can even change a private to a public with Deus Ex and they wont even notice. And you can choose the hosting location.
When alpha left, quietness came up on it. With the alpha servers/players missing, alot of the fun itself was destroyed along with that. I was a dickhead in the [A] Server quite alot i know. And why did alpha leave?
Just the same reason many others did. One person. With quite a dirty mind.
Who thought they knew better than the game creators and destroyed it in the way he did. Breeching the privacy of a few players. Joined his fake server, you get a backdoor program asking for internet access on zone alam. Not antivirus detected, picked up with antispyware but the internet access was all ot ovous. it was like KAKDJ.exe which would do it whenever you joined. He wanted to breech the players privacy as well as change their masterserver. I think that is one of the worst things someone can do on the internet. On that machine: Photos, MSN Chatlogs, My dads work backed up to my PC, and other stuff. A couple of select people thought it was ok to breech the pricacy of players. Who suck up to dejavu
Now its 2009 and im, not sure what to do.. stay... leave the game and hang on the forums. I loved mapping and coding, And a few people can force people to give up their hobby.
RPG is filled 24/7 but requires an admin there alot to keep the players Inline. A question for you alex, when you hosted LEES HK, did you notice alot of players would lag the server by putting 100s of credits in the pool?
Also would put loads of cigs and sodacans in it? And also would spam items in the underground rooms?
A problem thats common with that map. On my one the furniture in the river and the bugging of the hospital elevator was common.
Also ladderbugging on the electricity pylons.
Not sure if many of you here saw that one, "LTKJM_Village"
Well not sure on its future, what do you lot think?
I may comeback and put up the RPG and CTDM again. But im not sure what to do...
