Yes. Why would someone else foot the bill for you?

[drumthrasher109]

huh...

u should just be able to make a server and leave it on...

You are.. just start the server on ur pc, open ports and leave it on

You can either use your home connection or pay for a server with a fast connection. Jon was talking about the latter.

[orappa]

Either way you'd still be paying. The problem with home servers is that they can generally only suit small numbers of players, as ISPs often impose monthly download/upload caps and cripple upload rates.

[drumthrasher109]

oh...well at least not for me they don't..thank u comcast!

[Brophy]

You are still limited to how many players your upload can handle compared to having it on a server with a connection of 10/100 and higher

Retarded? HAHAHA do you know how many people actually pay for gameservers in the world? Go into any popular game such as Battlefield or Counter-Strike, refresh the serverlist and there are tens of thousands of servers in the list.

How the fck is it retarded, you idiot?

[Shib]

How can it be retarded? You expect people to spend a lot of money each month on a dedicated server, just to give free servers out to people?

LMFAO

and time and effort you put into it

and dont forget about the power ;(

[Joriz]

If you keep your PC on for one MTA server you are paying 25 Euro per month for only the power.

Then you also have the work to keep everything running and also your Internet connection get slower for your private use.

It is much cheaper to hire a 24 players slot at a MTA Host, because you pay less and you make use of a better network.

if you host a 24/7 game server, comcast will probably ask you to stop.

this happened to a friend of mine, same ISP, same server (MTA)
