Can't afford BattlEye

[Fubister]

is it a specific price per each server or per hosting company, any conditions and such?

[Furai]

2 euros per server? $able correct me if I'm wrong. It would be best for the community if someone who has rights for it make some official news about BE and its future...(How much we have to pay for this service? Terms of paying. Eventually when the BE will be turned off? etc.)

[Ox*r0x]

no mister, i wont pay for a free/shareware game. If you dont pay it, you can play online, you can do the same things you do paying it, so for its free. You have MORE FEATURES if you donate, but without paying we can play together, we can change several things, we can PLAY IT.

So, WHY DA HELL i need to PAY when im giving a free service for the community (I DONT CARE IF THE SERVER IS FREE 99,9999% of time), since the goal was giving more servers and different things for the community.

As i said, openSOLDAT devteam is something REAL, why cant you just ASK them, if they COULD make SOMETHING to SOLVE this? why da hell we are STICKED to BE? FREE = FREE.

[SpiltCoffee]

You don't have to pay to run a server. You only have to pay to have BE running on said server (so you don't have to pay if you don't want to).

Soldat is shareware. BE is not. $able is entitled to ask for money for it.

[Ox*r0x]

geez I KNOW that i need to pay to have BE, but i wont pay cuz im serving the community FOR FREE and i wont change that. the thing is: BE is payed, MM knew it before, eC didnt make an effort to make something about it, and opensoldat ppl COULD HELP but no one asked them, im 100% sure. Stop saying "opensoldat isnt happen" cuz everyone wants soldat better, at least i want and i will support everything that grow or improve soldat.

i play soldat since the 1st version, so i know the road MM did, but i thing keeping this sticked to ONE MAN ONLY wont work, but whatever.

ofc its usess if i have my servers online without BE running, leagues wont accept NON-BE servers, gathers without BE are stupid, etc etc etc. for that, i will close them all.

[Furai]

So do it. Soldat is close to extinction anyway.

[Veritas]

Ox*r0x, you're not entitled to free antihack measures, and shutting down your servers because you don't get it is incredibly, incredibly immature. I also doubt any of the powers that be really care if your servers stay up or not.

In short, stop being stupid.

[Ox*r0x]

no, you are the stupid here since the only thing i said was that is USELESS having servers running WITHOUT BE. do i need to make a drawing?

[SpiltCoffee]

geez I KNOW that i need to pay to have BE, but i wont pay cuz im serving the community FOR FREE and i wont change that.

Then stop whining, because it's not helping.

[Veritas]

no, you are the stupid here

since the only thing i said was that is USELESS having servers running WITHOUT BE. do i need to make a drawing?

And you've been given plenty of other viable options, but refuse to do anything other than give the ultimatum "I get BE for free or my servers go down." If you don't see what's immature about this, welp,

[Ox*r0x]

show me where i said "I get BE for free or my servers go down."

i said IF the only way to solve this is making server owners to pay for it, i will close my servers, since its useless having them without proper antihack. like i care if it will be BE or other OPENSOURCED thing, just dont say "ITS BE or nothing", like i saw some posts before.

[Veritas]

Sorry, should have said "I get antihack for free or my servers go down."

[Ox*r0x]

ok, so keep saying this is the only way to keep this community together. good luck.

i will see what happen and do what i want. soldat grow without this kind of things, and i dont believe making a payed anti-hack thing will keep soldat alive. we will find out later

[demoniac93]

Look, you pay for server hosts (That's if your servers aren't sponsored ones) anyways, so why not add 2 euros to the bill for BE?
Just don't whine about it, Mr."I'm doing something for the community".
The minute an extra buck gets thrown into your expenditures you decide to give up on serving the community you pretend to love so much?
Way to contradict yourself.
I say we just manage whatever servers are left with admins, either that, or we get a team together, or MM himself decides to turn his attention back at soldat for a minute, and create a new anti-hack engine.
AFAIK there's tons of computer wizz kids in here, might as well do something for the game they "love".

[Ox*r0x]

like i said, i wont pay a cent for it. i expended lots of time coding and making things. MM and eC and sable and others solve it. this is a forum and i have liberty to express myself like i want.

what rOx is trying to say that those of us that dont spend money on buying a server from a rental but instead get our own dedicated servers which are way cheaper then renting 20+ servers from say selfkill the cost increases quite much.
for example I pay 25 euro / month for a dedicated server and if I had to pay BE for every single on those soldatservers I host the bill would add up to(if we assume 2 euro / server) somewhere along the line of 125 euro where BE is providing 100(50 soldatservers) euro of that. simply put my bill would increases x 5. And suddenly its not as interesting to provide servers for free to ppl if I have to spend 125 euro / month.

I'll pay the fee but we don't know many things yet, like if it's gonna happen even and if it is how much it will cost. However, I am sorry to say, this can't be a permanent solution as the amount of servers that are gonna pay it's not fixed. What will happen if next month some owners don't pay ?

[Mittsu]

considering it's going to be pretty expensive to buy BE for every single server, i think the best solution is to install some ads that will pay the 200E/month price at site, forums, pop-up soldat window while running it

Next step to grave for Soldat.

so is not having BE or making server owners paying quite an amount for it, there will be some harm either way, we need to decide which way is less harmful than the other. I'd go for ads
