Trench Wars server

[PriitK]

Few things need clarifying as there are a lot of rumors flowing around:

Why server move?
We had no choice. Old TW server was running will be turned off in matter of days. You can read more about it at http://subspace.edome.net

Why move to east coast USA?
2/3 of TW players are located in North America, so USA is most logical place for the server. East coast, because it is closest to Europe. I'd say current geographical location is pretty much ideal for the server.
Second reason is that bandwidth prices are much cheaper in USA than in Europe.

Will TW go offline if there is not enough donations received to cover all costs?
No. I'm currently paying for the server and can handle it for a while, although it hurts a bit, so your donations are much appreciated! Good news is that Grelminar's new Linux Subspace server software is almost ready and it'll help cutting down costs as 1. Linux hosting is cheaper, 2. I hope to design much better packet routing code to save the bandwidth.

Money and linux

Money:
I have a very bad guilty conscience, as I do not intend to donate money. I have two holidays, driving lessons, a car and university fees (£8000 per year) to pay for on a £30-£50 per week job. If I would, I could.
Linux:
You said something about moving to Linux. What implications does that have? Will we have to use linux to play or will there be a linux users only game?

It means the server runs on Linux. Client is still Windows.
