As is probably already obvious to some but maybe not to everyone, we have a new server.
A round of applause, please, for THN Server 5, aka Promethius!
She can be found at:
This baby is our most powerful server to date, sporting an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core CPU and (if I remember correctly) 2GB of RAM. A 64 player Project Reality server runs smoothly even when full.
To date, Project Reality (a BF2 mod) and Alien Swarm (a UT2004 mod) have both made it back up there. Some other utilities and widgets too. Rumour has it that THN Radio may have made a return or be doing so shortly.
So, that brings us back to the donations. Thank you to everyone who has continued donating despite us being without our games server for so long. I've updated the FAQ entry around donations but here's the low-down.
We're paying £47 (GBP) per month plus VAT. That's £55.23 (GBP) including VAT.
However, our funds are all in Euros as are our donations so we do a little jiggery-pokery in exchange rates. When I did my calculations, that came out as €81.11 (EUR). That may fluctuate from time to time but we'll go with that unless it changes wildly.
So, what're you doing reading this? Get on the server and play!
