    If we're going with the pay per hour thing we'll be activating the server only for planned events. But again, it all depends on community reaction to this. If it's positive and there are lots of peeps willing to help we can always move our target up... let's see how it goes.

    I think our little band of merry men can surely chip in a dollar a month.

    Yes, and yesterday night on ESR was massive instead. How many of us? 20? I mean... almost full grid? I was in tears...
    I think not so many were really happy about the new policy they adopted... I understand paying for the League they run (cause honestly it's very cool and lot's of work...) but Race Clubs? mmmh....

    Alrighty guys
    After the awful test of yesterday I've kind of "optimized" my server connection so if you guys want to give it a try tonight that will be VERY much appreciated.
    Note: I won't be running but I'll be around from time to time to see if it's working. Of course if you see that starting from Practice you've experiencing problems, flickering and stutters: just leave as there's no tomorrow!
    I'll be reading here and there about how to setup the vultr server in the meantime so hopefully next time we can run on something more stable
    Please let me know how it went and if it was crazy like yesterday night
    Thank you again chaps!
    Much obliged!

    Id be glad to chip in a dollar through paypal here and there....heck, could even do it every night that one joins an ESR race based on honor system - if u have it to give. Well worth the entertainment value for a packed, competetive and clean race. (well, mostly clean if i'm there praying through each corner)

    I get a pretty good ping to that locked test server, only 250ish, not bad considering my signal has to go 4000km to Sydney from Western Australia (about a 70 ping usually) before it even starts it's way across the Pacific. That's only +20-30 compared with my ping to the west coast servers. The other server, the unlocked one pings at 320-330.

    easy for you to say

    i had a ping >200 with @James Nance and it was fine.
    ping is not the only factor for good connection but its the only measurable factor so everyone over-emphasize it.
    far far more important is packet loss if it gets bad.

    The latency on this game is handled quite well. Hats off to sector 3 and their coding. High ping does not have much of an impact I find.

    I get 99 ping with Emilio and we are at least 8000km apart.

    I find anything under 300 no problems at all.

    Alrighty guys after talking a bit here and there I started to think that the more peeps on the server the more buggy it becomes. Tonight I'll host the server as stated above but with only 14 slots available.
    Sorry if someone will be locked out but racing in those conditions (see yesterday) is a nightmare and impossible and until S3S figures out what causes all this blinking and disappearing, it's important to make some tests and see what happens.
    Password is the same as yesterday and Server will go live around 9PM CST (so in 20 mins).
    Again, sorry if someone cannot race tonight with us and as a final favor... AU players are more than welcome to race with us but if by any chance the situation gets out of control (lagging/blinking), would you please then opt out to see if something change? Thanks guys I appreciate!
    I won't be racing to leave one slot open for you guys... just hosting tonight and observing chat steam and see what's going on.
    Thanks for your co-operation!! Talk soon/later! :D
