I am not suprised at all

[Alex]

it was half a year ago, 70+ people were on it, at least 30 of them must still play DXMP :=/

Impossible. I doubt that a half year ago it was even possible to see 70 players online at the same time.

[Gishank]

well it was sometime within the summer of 2005

Klop, stop lying. It is simply impossible. Deus Ex self cannot even handle it, doesn't matter what kind of computer you have.

[Gishank]

God sake, everytime i say something you call me a fucking liar, i'm not. I think it was what you call him erm... server

[Ste]

If you had a comp good enough and upload fast enough sure DX could handle it dont be silly.

My server is Dual Xeons with a 100mbit connection, 50 ping to all Euro on good connection with a full server, most its had was 13 tbh. The Xeons were being hammered though. DX has great CPU usage for hosting.

a server could handle any amount of players if the CPU RAM and Upload is up to the job.

People moan about high pings in many servers but c'mon im on 8mbit and it costs me £27.99 a month thats hardly beaking the bank is it for anyone really. I mean 512kbps was £20+ not long ago.

You can't host more then 20 players I'm afraid (Maybe you can host ~5 more), since deus ex cannot handle all things it needs to process.

lol hes klop, no wonder then..

70 players in one dxmp server? maybe the server would still work if you put them in a big and i mean REAL BIG map, so there wouldnt be much shooting around. putting 70 players in smuggler is ridiculous and would prolly kill the server imediatelly.

what youve seen were 7 players. get glasses next time when you check msl

server would lag. not to mention dxmp's 100% cpu usage with 10 good players on.

I have hosted 14 players once. And my processor wasn't overloaded... certainly less than 50% 0_o Don't exaggerate.

my newbie server with 12 players take 30% on celeron 2,8ghz.

triad server packed with 10 leet auggers take 100% cpu on p4 2,8ghz.

the question is, whats the skill of players playing. i believe assault fights take most CPU on server side. and newbies dont do much assaulting, they rather use geps.

[Gishank]

Dejavu, hush.

It doesn't neccesarily finally go down. If someone partners with Reef to pay for the server well then, yes.

It's a sad to see this once loved game finally coming to an end.

1. GamesMajor has never been an essence of whole DXMP community. I had

Agreed and so long as there is people with enough love for the game, it shall not meet its end unless the creators make that decision. I firmly beleive that the community will never abandon the game completely,
there will always be someone to carry it on, until the creators decide to pull the plug.

How exactly can the creators 'pull the plug'?

Seriously, they have no way of stopping us from playing DXSP, or DXMP.

[Imperial]

Lionhead did it with black and white

[DarkKnight]

Lionhead did it with black and white

Did what exactly?

There are no forums hosted by 'the creators', or any one involved with the creation of DX.

The servers are hosted by us - not them.

The Master Server is hosted by game spy, and granted they could take that down, but the effect of it would be minimal considering how much MS hype there has been, people are expecting it.

Seriously, what are you seeing I'm not?

[Spiderbot01]

People will have to just join with IP addresses or use the protocol thing that lets you join from links

[Gishank]

Or, create a new core master server

[DarkKnight]

Oh noes!

Not IP only!

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

Hmm.. somehow i'm currently waiting for Icho to make commercials for his masterserver.

[Dae]

I doubt GameSpy will turn their master server off unless they see that it isn't being used.

[Eçheløn]

im confused wouldnt taking down the gamespy master server
result in other games hosted by gamespy being affected too ?
and those games arent inactive at all.

[Gishank]

They would just take out the DXMP selection, so then, they would not be hosting a master server that is a waste of reasources. [/Meow]

Admin: don't spam.

I am still here on forums, so can reply to this , no I was not band neither was controlled. As there was clearly no reason for us to be band. Me and controlled just aliased in the last 12 months due to the volume of players calling us cheats and teamkilling us. it made life much easier being alised. shame but that's how it was for us and any other gud players who came away with gud scores. anyways peace and take care in life

You and your brother were REPEATEDLY banned, in fact, one of the admins banned your brother over 10 times in one game! So do not give us that bullshit buddy.

[Krieg]

Perhaps his other I is talking here

DX barely has 70 players now... But they managed to fit over 1000 players on a CS server (Check Guinness book of world records )

Yeah but I like the DX community - everyone knows each other. Imagine if it had 1000 players, that would suck.

It's true, I think this is the one community you can go in a server and have someone say 'Oh hey X'

and plus, 1000 people fighting to get on the best servers, too many people

[Cozmo]

I never said a small community was a bad thing, just that it's annoying having so many empty servers or barely any hosted.

It's great being able to go in almost any server and get recodnised .

PS: Imagine, smuggler... with 1000 players!

[Allan]

"Ow! You spawned on my foot!"
"At least I didn't spawn in your collision cylinder!"
"WIN! I sniped 20 people in the head with 1 shot! This 1000 player Smuggler=Pwnage!!!"

^^ Some of the things I guess would be said in there...

[synthetic]

1000 players, in a game a bullet or two can kill. someone had a score.
