Jesus Ladna. My eyes bled just from reading yr post.<br /><br />Ladna missed some stuff when he ran down our server endeavors. He was listing all the ones we&#039;ve had on this hosting company. We&#039;ve actually done some testing on different bandwidth providers and hosts in Kansas City, Columbus, OH, Chicago, IL and a trial in Toronto for like 2 days. they all fell short in either server/data center specs or cost ratios. <br /><br />Honestly, and I know I’ve only been around about a year and a half, but in my experience people complain about all servers for roughly the same reasons. When DE Dallas was the primary server I remember the same people complaining about it. And I know euros throw fits when Horizon doesn&#039;t live up to their standards. If any of the DUI NJ admins were alive anymore I&#039;m sure they&#039;d hear their fair share about server crashes and blah blah blah. And it&#039;s your right as players to voice concern. Hell, usually we appreciate it, as long as it&#039;s not so accusatory :). It&#039;s just as server admins, we have to weigh yr dissatisfaction against our time, money, and hassle in solving these issues. Strangely enough we tend to fall on the side of catering to you but cmon, we GIVE you these servers, and on top of that apologize for any life scarring events that take place on them. You&#039;re getting the good end of the stick I assure you.<br /><br />Additionally, Total Trash runs a piece of software called ZDStack. It does all kinds of nifty things that may or may not bug out our servers from time to time. We live with it, you can too. If you would like to shell out for a testing server, feel free. You can donate via paypal to totaltrashservers+at+gmail+dot+com anytime you&#039;re feeling generous or drunk.<br /><br />[b]Other things you can do include:[/b]<br /><br />[list]<br />[li]Did I mention give us money? I swear I won&#039;t buy v8 with it. All donations are put toward server upgrades or Ladna&#039;s fucked up sodomy fetish therapy. He needs it, like whoa. The kids in his neighborhood will never be the same.[/li]<br />[li]Change your ISP, if you have any control over it. When I started playing I was on Qwest DSL and it BLEW! I then changed to some regional AT&amp;T ISP and i&#039;m pretty happy with the service.[/li]<br />[li]Check yr running processes, run traceroutes, check your connection to other things (interwebz, other servers, etc). Be a do&#039;er not a me too&#039;er.[/li]<br />[li]Also I know you all watch internet porn and frequent sites that put god knows what all over your little doom machines. Wear a fucking rubber! And check yr self for warts.[/li]<br />[/list]<br /><br />We&#039;ll do what we can to make TT suck as little as possible. You do what you can to help us, and be nice. The world will turn and Obama will save us all. JKist you know you love him.<br /><br />-star
