Guys you are killing this game before it has been released. Nobody is going to pay money to use a website, it will just turn people away from the game, torrents is also out of the question as the majority of people cant use it.

Obviously you didn't take the time to READ what has been posted so far...because people are saying (quite clearly) that all of the solutions that we have mentioned (and you have mentioned) would work for them. Killing the game? How about YOU make a website and YOU pay the bill to host it? A bit EXTREME there buddy! ::)

We are here BRAINSTORMING and trying to cover ALL bases to create a website so YOU (and the rest of the community) can play this NEW game. The only people KILLING the game are people moaning about the pay option. Like I said before...if that option doesn't work for YOU...DON'T USE IT! There are STILL the FREE options...if they are a bit slower (aka the OLD Central), well either DEAL with it...or pony up some FLOW and pay for faster downloads. :o



Well said Paul.

DO NOT GO WITH CANACA

Sorry but I cannot stress this enough. A website owned by a couple guys i know recently went into debt of nearly $4000 because of overused bandwidth. The reason being, Canaca increased their extra bandwidth charge by 1200%(yep, from 50p to $6 per GB I think) And did not actually give any notice of this.

Just warning anyone that would want a host. Thanks for looking tho CR :)

If anyone does decide to host an independant site like mcm2central.com, I will donate simply because it is keeping this game alive. A game that has completely changed my life.

I don't like the idea of pay-per-play. I feel that if people really want to help out they will donate. I am willing to be generous.

I was justing looking at one of my hosting plans.

I have bandwidth to spare. I'd be willing to offer a mirror.

Exactly what I was thinking. This community is very close niche compared to say, Quake or UnReal. With that I'd say comes a better crowd. I would almost cry if I saw Central come back to life. Why? Because it's been around since the beginning days and still operated by the same familiar faces. My money will feel comfortable spent there. Aside from the few screw off's this community has encountered, I'd say you all are OK in my books.  :D

So how about this PayPal account idea? Yay or Nay?

ElDiablo (Paul)

It sounds like a good idea to me to help raise some start-up capitol...or maybe even to help facilitate paying for the faster downloads once the site gets up and running. But I think that Kamshaft is gonna have to be the one to set it up, since he's the guy paying for webspace/bandwidth.

Well noone is saying you have to,all the posts here are for suggestions to help with a possible bandwidth issue (that does cost money) so the entire thread is showing what people are prepared to donate a few bucks to help (if its needed) .

Please dont forget that even Factory and TTM have and did have donations links im guessing you didnt and WILL not donate to those sites either and again that is your choice,but some people here realise that there is no such thing as a free lunch and if your enjoy using something here and there its no hardship to donate something.

Basically its like pay for view TV you dont pay you dont watch simple as that,but as has been said much earlier and a few more times in this thread that maybe a site would be free for all, but with much slower download speeds but with the option of a donations/member link for say FTP access to a faster pipe.

Also as Twisted mentioned he has his tracks on his own ISP service for ppl to d/l if needed,and as far as i can recall most TEAM sites always tryed to host there own creations. which of course is another good idea.

That is a whole different thing. Donations is fine. And no i still wouldnt donate because im only 16 and thats impossible for me to donate lol. I was reffering to people paying to register to a site and then paying like a yearly fee so you can download tracks etc off the site. IMO that is just stupid and only a few people will do so.

RRC_OiLbUrNeR

Oh ps, i dont like paying i used to have the chip for foxtel (pay tv), but then it went digital and all the software changed and they say it is now impossible to get pirated foxtel, but we know people who have it and deal with the illegal software tho they want way to much for it. You could pay for foxtel for 3 years and it would still be cheaper then getting your chip and your box. so im stuck with 5 channels ehehe.

Don't know if this has already been asked, but will MXU have anything comparable with stung tag? I will get MXU anyways since I also do Nats and SX as much, but without some acarde "fun" mode like stunt tag, I don't give MXU more than 2 years till it will be dead. Maybe some of you guys will still race in private, but there won't be anything resembling the current mcm2 community left after half a decade. I think most of you underestimate how big the tag community of mcm2 is. I believe there are more teams and sites dedicated to tag than racing. Certainly there are as many good map makers, people like Sneer that mainly played tag. Before you start bashing about tag now, it would help to keep MXU alive alot longer than it would if it is a pure racing game. So if anyone has any idea about the possible multiplayer modes of MXU, I'd like to hear about it.

Some "Tag Sites" left:

VTF

many more...

As far as I know it just has what's in the console games.  I don't know if the console games have tag or not.  I/m sure there must be a mini-game in there that will appeal to the taggers.

A pet peeve of mine on the zone was that there were so many people that would start a room and call it a National or SX room and then switch to tag after they launched.  I can't begin to count the number of times that happened to me.

In MXU are alot of mini-games I believe MXvsATV has that to right? So there would be alot of things to do on multiplayer... meybe not tag, but at least some fun stuff :D
