How much GFP for a MC server

[Trunks]

Yeah, they're free if you have the ability to run it, which most people don't. If you use your own computer, you have to have it running 24/7 (and a good enough computer and internet), which is not feasible for everyone. Servers aren't something that most people have lying around (though some do).

I don't think anyone said that running the server itself costs money, but a lot of people use a service that charges you a monthly $5, or something like that - which is often more feasible. Minecraft is a big hog on computers; we've tried running our own, but once there's more than a couple people, it usually ends up failing. It's pretty poor, honestly. Simply running Minecraft on some computers takes up a lot, let alone trying to run a server (or do both). It usually ends up lagging and being unplayable, at least on the kind of equipment that most people have running around. I had a friend who ran a server well by dedicating an extra computer he had lying around as the server, but it certainly wasn't his primary computer.

Also, he already said that he and his friends tried it and it didn't work because they have terrible internet.

I just don't think it's likely that egg-whites will find someone who is willing or able to run a 24/7 server, but it doesn't hurt to ask for sure.

Eggs asked if it was free, and thedeparted seemed a little confused I was just confirming that it was if it was ran off someones server or computer and not from a company. I'd say my computer is pretty average, maybe below average and my runs fines on minecraft. If many people would just direct more memory to java or minecraft it'd probably run way better. It's also not needed to run 24/7, he said morning to bed time would be fine.

Like I said never tried running it for more than 2 people. So I wouldn't know if my computer would be able to. I don't think minecraft takes much resources to run though. I do have pretty good internet though, 15MB download, upload is only 1MB though.

and if it doesn't hurt to ask then why are you guys just ripping him apart about it lol....

OH! You are asking for someone to set up your sever! Sorry, must have misread or something.

Alas, i don't know how to do that.

Also the biggest resource you need to host a minecraft server is bandwith. Which is why i can't do it. I've checked with my 16mbDL-0.7mbUL bandwith and i was reccomended to only have a 2 slot server max (Was close to 3). xD From what i've seen you should make sure to have about 1mb dl/ul speed per 4 slots.

That makes sense on how mine was able to run 2 fine. We have about the same internet speed.


anyway, good luck finding someone eggs.
