Guest Moose Master Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 Hi, I'm just wondering what I'd have to do to go about getting a zone connected to the master billing server? I've hosted small zones for a few friends before but I have a dedicated server that is only hosting a few small websites and I'd like to make a continuum zone. (As a side note if anyone is interested in having their own server but can't afford hosting why not work with me on a new zone ) I have a bit of a unique theme for the zone in mind but I'd only consider putting in the development time if it'd actually get used and that means being on the main billing server. The dedicated server is on a 10mbps symmetrical line plugged directly into Pipex and stored in a UK data centre... this isn't some silly "yo I gotz a celeronz and wanna host me server" question
»1587200 Posted October 26, 2007 Report Posted October 26, 2007 It's generally said that to get your zone connected to the SSC biller you must have a constant population at all times. The REAL way you get your zone connected to the biller is to kiss !@#$%^&* of those who run the ssc hosting servers (or, unless you actually have an original idea that's good and you can sell to a host).
rootbear75 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) I have an SSCI slot that i havent had a need to use for a bit. i can see if D+ will host you. and if we got that zone on the server, all files would be transferred from your computer, to the master server.there is only ONE exception to that, which is T3G Edited October 27, 2007 by rootbear75
Guest Moose Master Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Thank you for the responses guys Rootbear, are you saying that once I get a zone running I would not be able to host it on my dedicated server? That'd be fine but I thought it'd be a nice idea to have a zone physically in Europe so the Europeans can have a low ping for a change I think I'll make a start on the zone settings & things.
Samapico Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Getting connected to SSC isnt easy, your zone must be worth it
Russky Posted October 27, 2007 Report Posted October 27, 2007 Getting connected to SSC isnt easy, your zone must be worth it ]and nearly impossible because some people are hypocrites
»Maverick Posted October 29, 2007 Report Posted October 29, 2007 perhaps overrated but it's what most people use
Cheese Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 meh SSC is overrated true, but its lonely not being ssc (no chats) =(

»D1st0rt Posted November 27, 2007 Report Posted November 27, 2007 Or get them to add your server to the firewall rule table
Animate Dreams Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 meh SSC is overrated It's not overrated. If it weren't for SSC there wouldn't be an SS anymore. Players wouldn't play if there was no central community.
»doc flabby Posted November 29, 2007 Report Posted November 29, 2007 meh SSC is overrated It's not overrated. If it weren't for SSC there wouldn't be an SS anymore. Players wouldn't play if there was no central community.If it wasn't for a central player server yes However my statement still stands, SSC is overrated. When's the last time any kind of update was done to the biller?
Arry Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) the only way to get your zone on SSC is to get one of the SSC netops to host your zone Seriously, what's the contact info for these netops? Do they have a standard application process? Do they read these forums? It seems that there's a catch 22 here. It's hard to get pop without being connected to the central community (everyone wants their chats). Yet at the same time, we're told you need a good population to prove your zone is something people want to play. Can anyone who's gone from ground up tell us HOW you got your zone to be part of SSC? It seems like a necessary step for any serious zone. Edited December 18, 2007 by Arry
»freakmonger Posted December 18, 2007 Report Posted December 18, 2007 Its not a "netop" you need to contact. It is a Server Host that has access to the SSC Biller that you need to contact. And it is a necessary step for any serious zone. You will get ppl that say "ssc is overrated", "ssc sucks" etc...which some people feel that way and that is their opioion. But just download your zone list and look at the population of any Non SSC zone tonight and you can see for yourself how necessary it is. Yes maybe 3 years ago a zone could get 30 players without SSC, but that doesn't happen anymore.
