[09:51:59] <nQx> drake is coming
[09:55:39] * Joins: drake|bloodbane (~drake@host251-40.pool8248.interbusiness.it)
[09:56:23] <drake|bloodbane> ok
[09:56:25] <drake|bloodbane> bad news
[09:56:37] <drake|bloodbane> let me post the last words of zenith:
[09:56:50] <drake|bloodbane> ZenithDragon scrive:
[09:56:51] <drake|bloodbane> sorry, drake. but I think I made final decision to closed servers.
[09:56:58] <drake|bloodbane> In my real life, there is a huge issue with me now. I don't know how to explain for now. but I will stop hosting servers now. I have a lot of pressure in recent days. I think I need to stop what I am doing for now.
[09:57:03] <drake|bloodbane> for all 3 servers I think I will pay for 30K total for it will stop today.
[09:57:11] <drake|bloodbane> I have to quit it now.
[09:57:29] <drake|bloodbane> let me introduce you what happened in real:
[09:57:38] <drake|bloodbane> 1- the month's expenses:
[09:57:57] <drake|bloodbane> a) Dragon: 124$/month (100mbit, 1000gb limit)
[09:58:04] <drake|bloodbane> b) Nightmare: same of Dragon
[09:58:16] <drake|bloodbane> c) Zenith: 92$/month (10mbit, 1000gb)
[09:58:34] <drake|bloodbane> d) leasing: 200$/month (all the three machines) x 12 months
[09:58:53] <drake|bloodbane> ok, let's now introduce the server income: 3000$ (at least, usually more)
[09:58:58] <drake|bloodbane> do your calculations
[09:59:22] <drake|bloodbane> as you can figure: income is more that expenses
[10:00:15] <drake|bloodbane> zenith have done a BIG mistake
[10:00:26] <drake|bloodbane> for just 300$/month we was able to get unlimited bandwidth
[10:00:37] <drake|bloodbane> total of 900$, no problem to keep that (3000$ income)
[10:00:45] <drake|bloodbane> but zenith greedyness won
[10:01:06] <drake|bloodbane> so we outrunned a lot of times and we had to pay taxes over taxes (in this month)
[10:01:12] <drake|bloodbane> so zenith decided to close all
[10:01:55] <drake|bloodbane> so, 'cause idragon3d is dead, i'm going to open my own server ('cause zenith have done nothing... just got money)
[10:02:08] <drake|bloodbane> more important: in all 11months of work for idragon3d i got nothing
[10:02:14] <drake|bloodbane> all in the pockets of zenith
[10:02:25] <drake|bloodbane> i just got 600$ on december
[10:02:40] <drake|bloodbane> for "merry christmas" (december income: around 10000$)
[10:03:00] <drake|bloodbane> for who ask about db
[10:03:08] <drake|bloodbane> well, bad news: i don't have access at the machines
[10:03:11] <drake|bloodbane> i'm cutted out
[10:03:13] <drake|bloodbane> too
[10:03:15] <drake|bloodbane> like you
[10:03:36] <drake|bloodbane> for, luckily 2 days ago (god exists!) i have done whole bkup of my files (codes, scripts, etc...)
[10:03:48] <drake|bloodbane> so i can start a server in 1 day
[10:04:18] <drake|bloodbane>
www.calpop.com [10:04:23] <drake|bloodbane> we are gonna to get a server there
[10:04:29] <drake|bloodbane> if we can get 3 servers, beter
[10:05:05] <drake|bloodbane> we need a 100mbit (but we can limit it at 10mbit too if the starting money is low. 10mbit means 1200players)
[10:05:16] <drake|bloodbane> and we need dualxeon machines
[10:05:21] <drake|bloodbane> if anyone want help
[10:05:44] <drake|bloodbane>
drake@0000111.com is my paypal. if no one want help, well... we will try anyway to get them
[10:05:59] <drake|bloodbane> Shadow server is still us (is mine and of my friend)
[10:06:07] <drake|bloodbane> so we will put Dragon15x on that machine
[10:06:34] <drake|bloodbane> (luckily we have done that new server outside idragon3d and zenith itself)
[10:07:01] <drake|bloodbane> about the DB: again, i'm cutted out by zenith
[10:07:07] <drake|bloodbane> he closed access to the servers also to me
[10:07:11] <drake|bloodbane> i will try again to access them
[10:07:19] <drake|bloodbane> if i successfully get the DB, i will put them up
[10:07:27] <drake|bloodbane> but actually the success rate of this is less than 10%
[10:09:14] <drake|bloodbane> so, if anyone trust me (i hope) help me. btw i will try anyway to resurrect the servers
[10:09:24] <drake|bloodbane> i hope today to have a new webserv setup
[10:09:39] <drake|bloodbane> (actually i'm in university, i will arrive at home in 5 hours)
[10:09:48] <drake|bloodbane> so i will setup a new website and a new forum
[10:10:02] <drake|bloodbane> about your loaders
[10:10:09] <drake|bloodbane> luckily i have it under a dyndns
[10:10:12] <drake|bloodbane> so i can redirect them all
[10:10:21] <drake|bloodbane> i will write further news inside the "welcome" message
[10:11:02] <drake|bloodbane> again: i don't force anyone to help.
[10:11:22] <drake|bloodbane> if you feel to help us, nice. if you don't want/can't.... no problem
[10:11:47] <drake|bloodbane> that's all
[10:11:54] <drake|bloodbane> hope to have explained everything well
[10:12:57] <drake|bloodbane> actually our only problem is $$$, we are trying to gather what we can to get new servers (AWAY FROM ZENITH'S HANDS)
[10:13:47] <drake|bloodbane> actually we will put up the Shadow, so you will be able to play there
[10:14:36] <drake|bloodbane> if we can get money, we will put up also Nightmare/Dragon/Infinity (new name for Zenith serv... i don't want a server with HIS name)
[10:16:07] <drake|bloodbane> the 10% means that zenith will put up the servers to do something (dunno what) and.... i can get inside and steal it
