[ZOMBIES] Shut Up.

I've made many posts, threads, discussions talking about this, but I guess now that the Zombies servers are back up, I might as well ask - What are you doing? I'll address some things about servers and all that, because no one understands what the fuck you're saying.

[DISCLAMER] Yes, I've been on the Zombies server. About 20 times now, actually. I know what I'm talking about.



1. More Servers

Making a server takes time, patience, and actual money. You can't just launch a server and not pay for it. For 23 player slots, it's 14 dollars a month (Technically, it's 14.50 dollars a month due to the 24th Reservation slot, but still). If it's 14 a month for 1 server, it's



$20.00 - $20.00

ESTIMATED DAILY EARNINGS



$600.00 - $600.00

ESTIMATED MONTHLY EARNINGS



$7,200.00 - $7,200.00

ESTIMATED YEARLY PROJECTION

(This is not completly true, because I set the Estimated CPM down to 0 - 0, because what the fuck does that mean?

Take note on Monthly. Assuming that Muselk pays for the server, then 70 bucks a month for the 5 servers. He needs to buy his own items, then pay the server. Assuming everyone wants 3 servers of EU, AU, and US, then 9 servers would go up to fucking 126 a month. 21% of his income would go to the servers. The other 79% would go to his needs and YouTube. What if he didn't want 21% of his salary taken away for the servers, and just add 11.6% of his salary to the servers (Btw, this math is taking too long to do, but I'm sick of this.)? He's being smart about his money.



2. Unable to Load in

As much as I hate to say it, it's luck. I didn't want to reveal this strategy to more people than I needed to, but since 60% haven't had experience with the Source engine, they don't know how to work the console. Go into your options, turn on your Developer Console, then copy down one of the "Connect [IP]":



Australian

connect 45.121.211.132:27500



United States

connect 160.202.164.16:27500



Europe

connect 185.38.151.161:27500



Once you're done, Press the "`~" key above the TAB key. Paste what you had copied above, and press Enter. Don't expect to enter in 1 try. When you don't load in, press the UP Arrow, then Enter. When you press the UP Arrow, it automatically responds to your last command you entered in the console. Spam this until you're in. It's not fool-proof, but it's good enough. [NOTE] If you have entered any commands before doing "connect [IP]" and you want to prevent spamming that instead, do it in an order. *UP Enter, Up Enter, ect." You can continue to do this, even if you're loading.



3. Patience.

Oh man, I finally get to talk about this one. Here's what I recommend. Stop, think about why you're complaining, and then rethink (Or keep, if your own opinion hasn't changed) the message you were just typing out. If all you're going to do is complain about unable to wait, all that, I have news for you, waiting in line is an actual thing. Sometimes, the line's short, sometimes, it's longer than a football field (When all the good players come back from Elementary school after Friday and until Monday(Making a joke about how all the good players are kids, when in reality, they could be, and might be, bad.)) Just because you like Muselk, doesn't mean there aren't other servers to play in the meantime.



Tava, Muselk, someone, I don't care, if you could Pin this so people can actually understand why things aren't happening, please pin this. Otherwise, thanks for reading, and hopefully understanding.



EDIT: (1 and a half months later from original post) Tava does not work on his servers. It's the admins. They're the only ones updating the servers.
