What multiplayer games would you play?

Ideally we'd like a vps, not game-specific hosting so that we can host more than a minecraft server. For $20 a month we can get a dual core with 2GB ram which is a pretty good price:specs. I can't pay for it myself, and I don't think it would be a wise idea to dig in the donation pool for the main site.
There's absolutely no room on the cw server to run a game server anyway due to ram constraints (the site itself hardly manages to fit in 1GB).

It would needs to be a standalone VPS. Minecraft requires 8 GB of RAM per online user, right?

Yeah, plus 2TB of ram just for java.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Lol . But yeah this is a bit why I don't want a gaming server hosted on CW, unless it's for online calculator gaming (which I doubt it would require much resources)

[novenary]

Yeah but on cw it's not even worth trying running extra stuff anyway. The server is full.

Do you guys program in C? Because you're salty as c

I really love Teeworlds. But, since I am guessing what all of you guys want is something you can just hop on for a bit and do some things without any organization, Minecraft is pretty good

If you end up making a modded Minecraft server, here are some mods that are really good/are my favorite:

• Botania
• Thaumcraft
• Blood Magic
• Forbidden Magic (an addon to add integration between Botania, Thaumcraft, and Blood Magic)
• All of GrowthCraft
• Bibliocraft
• Natura

Well, that's only because 29 GB is just Juju's stuff, leaving only 1 GB for the site. He should probably move his stuff elsewhere (such as Soru server) since CW server was mainly to host this site, not BroniesQC nor his stash of anime memes. But yeah, overall I value site performance more than having a Minecraft server.

Nope, we are exagerrating quite a bit above, because in the past I often heard that Minecraft servers required 1 GB of RAM per online users or even 8 GB upfront.

Neh mate, 2GB was enough for a 6-person private server

[Unicorn]

I have 3 gb towards a private modded server, and it doesn't lag to bad with 2 people on it

2GB should be good to host at least 20 players. Not sure with mods but it should still be good.

Damn this was my 1337th post. :\

Minecraft should not take 1GB per user. When playing single player, it rarely goes anywhere close to 1GB, even though i have a 32 bit redstone computer running with 3GB alocated to the jvm. Personally, i would not like if it had plugins that dramaticly changed the game, or if the server required a custum mod pack, unless maybe teckit or FTB which where quite popular and are easy to install. Then again, there are probably few mods at this time for 1.9. It would be cool, however, if we had plugins made by our own members

NB: A plugin is just a server side change, but a mod requires the user to mod his client in order to connect to the server.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

My main concern with mods is if a server only allows 1 single type of Minecraft configuration of mods in it. For example, if users have to uninstall all other mods they have in order to get in. That would be annoying if we play on multiple servers.


Also, if a CW Minecraft server was gonna be started, it would be better if people didn't all start their own small servers like on Omnimaga. Everyone should probably stay together.

Also, a CW Minecraft server should require users to post a minimum of three times per week on CW in order to get in, to avoid Minecraft driving people away from calc forums like in the past.

You don't need to have remove all your mods, minecraft allows for multiple profiles.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Oh I didn't know that. That's good then. I just remember horror shows such as Starcraft: Brood War mods. In fact, sometimes with softwares we didn't even need a single mod in order to run into such problem: Back in the days, in order to use GIMP, you had to uninstall the GTK version that TilEm and TIEmu used and switch to a different one, then once you were done with the emulators, you had to switch back to the other version in order to run GIMP. Same probleem with Python 2.6 vs 3.0 IIRC.

Python 2 and 3 are incompatible but both can be installed on the same system, it's just a matter of setting things up right. I believe it's also possible to do that with gtk but I have no idea how it works on windows. The right way is to build all software against the same version, this way they're all compatible (and that's what Linux distros do, since they all build and package their own software for the official repos, unofficial repos are built upon the official ones as well).
