S! All
Big news. Rolf Hett has been doing a CONSIDERAL amount of work investigating the various options for JG1 to be able to operate a dedicated server. He has found a company in New York city that will allow us to operate a server for $2 per player. That is not a per player charge like World of WarCraft. It is a charge for the total number of players online at any one time. At this time, final details of administration are being finalized. If all goes well, we will have a dedicated 24/7 server that can hold 40 people in the next week or so. The number 40 came up because it looked like what we would use for tournament play. Depending on interest and total activity, that number could eventually be raised if necessary.
We all owe Rolf Hett a big thank you and a night at the HoffBrau for taking the initiative and doing a lot of work!
S! Herr Hett
and a great big THANK YOU !!

Because the offer discounts for bundles, I did not think they would have any more plane sales. Well, I was wrong. Plane sale is going on now. I am not sure if they still give a discount for bundeling them but it is worth checking out.

Please be patient.
At this time the site is being re built. The immediate goal is to get functionality for the II/JG1 forums. This really means linking after action reports with a kill board as well as a few other things. Once the framework is done, it will be easy to transfer it here and change the skins to an appropriate sheme.
Thanks,

Great job Hett.
Love idea #1
some questions...
Should the server have it's own page where we can advertise the server service?
Would a seperate server page like that be a good place not just for the donation button but a description of the missions that we run on the server?
A monthly donation/ server fund totals report sent to HQ sounds good. Donations should be kept private. I would not want people that are unable to donate feel any preasure to donate. Right now, times are very tough for a lot of folks. We want people to be able to join and fly with no expectations or obligations.
I know we have enough interest to come up with a few months service to see how the server handles with a full load of 40 people. That will allow us to evaluate the bandwith situation. I do not believe that we will have any problems but I am an optomist.
I am curious to see what the server interface is like. I presume it will be a simple text dialogue box where we upload missions and can change the ini file. Simple but limited.
S! and well done !!
