Hey players -
I have experimented a bit on gog.com and think it's not the worst idea in the world to play there.
So if anyone would like to play there I am willing to purchase your $10 CD key on gog.com.
Once loaded type /join war2bne to join the mail channel.
-
With that said UC is shit on GOG lol so seems unlikely we will ever make the transition there.
-
Reinstalling GOG now. Really cool of you to purchase ppl cd keys tora.
-
At the bottom of the channel list you will see war2bne EN 1.
Maybe that is where players should join?
-
PM if you need a CD key. I think I’ll try gog out today just to see.
Will host here all day.
@Cel your playing there today right?
-
Everyone wont automatically go to the same channel? I thought it only moved channels if it was full but I cant remember what the max channel capacity was on war2 (24 or 40 rings a bell for some reason)
-
Ok it does appear to default to war2BNE EN-1 whenever I log in.
When u do log in check and see
-
I bought this shit in 2019, any idea on where the cd key saved too?
-
Can u log into your account? You should be able to find it under games u bought.
-
Yeah im on my account but the cdkey is blank and will not let me connect online. The only thing ck key related in the war2 folder is the cdkey changer. I would think the cdkey would be in a text file somewhere in the war2 directory through GOG
-
Add me to your F list on gog "Toraisreal"
-
Gog is pretty bad lol
-
Ok @Shotgun
I have an answer for you. Gog is real shit lol that is why we won't migrate there.
I spent a few hours experimenting this morning and even Lux logged in to try...Gog ain't going to work.

Would make so much more sense to just host a backup server in a different country in my opinion.. just like mouse was doing
-
Can we run or create a backup server in America? Isnt that where Mouseys server was located?
-
Lmao tk read my mind
-

Do you know how?
I hear players say this all the time "we should do this we should do that."
But nobody ever steps up or say how to actually do it.
-

Mouse is retired and she isn't hosting it anymore nor did she inform anyone when she left or told us how to keep her server up and running.

I don't... But there are at least a dozen people in the community who do know how.
I know it's not difficult.. just not an area I have any experience in.
Pay like $15 bucks a month for the hosting.

No they don't.
People talk endlessly as you are aware but nobody actually knows how to host another server.
Anyone here is welcome to prove me wrong and if it's just a $$$ issue I'm more than willing to pay whatever the cost.
-
yes.. they do lol
its not a hard thing.
lance.. fois.. claw.. tupac.. mousey... at least a handful more know exactly how to do it.
-
the hardest part is getting the source code.. which at least a small handful of people in the community either currently have, or know how to get.
-

Mouse- isn't here anymore.
Claw- can't or wont do it. (I am close to the guy)
Tupac- has a server already. (Nobody is willing to play there because the guy has bi polar disorder and I don't trust him. Your welcome to move there)
Lance - Guy has a life and isn't going to do because he isn't willing to put the time in necessary.
Fois - Idk Fois that well. He is in your AS clan have you spoken to him about hosting a new server?
-

Let's be real here.
In a few days the server will be back up and running and we will forget about making a new server.
-
lots of people know how to do it. very little have any interest in doing it.
i talked to fois a while back.. he had no interest in teaching me how to do it. but yes he knows exactly how to do it.
-
i havent see any russians online since the server went down. have you?
if the actuall reason it's down is because of the conflict related to russia/ukraine .. it could be months before it's back up.. who knows?
-

Let's not bring up random hypotheticals.
I did just speak to IL and the guy has a life outside of war2 and can't always spend a couple hours troubleshooting but has agreed to look at it in the next 24 hours.
We could make a new server but as you have said you don't know how and you don't know anyone that is willing to assist so that is out.
-
The main reason there's been hesitancy in the past is because the majority of people that know how to do it do not support another server and potentially splitting the community up.
But it definitely would not be difficult thing at all for @iL to walk someone he trusted through the process of hosting a backup server if it was obvious the goal was not to take the current server over..
-
Probably get it up and running in a couple hours depending on how helpful he was
-
It's pretty easy to made a server, even myself probably would be able to do it, the probleme is not to make the server but make programmation for a client.
-

Go to https://www.gog.com/account, (https://www.gog.com/account,) click the game (as if you wanted to download the installers), then "MORE", then "Serial Keys".
after installation, gog version stores cdkey in registry
-
@claw Knows how to fix Mousetopher server?

It is crap there not worth playing there.

Starting PvPGN server is very easy, almost any user with white static IP can do it
But there are problems:
Default settings shitty enough (ok, admin can tweak it...)
The server program itself has many problems and vulnerabilities, so your "new server" can be hacked in seconds.
And, finally... What will stop DDoser from doing his actions against the "one more new" server?
-
Yeah for sure we can.
hers was hosted in u.s. i believe.
im not a network guy.. not a programmer.. not a coder.. but the people who do have those hobbies/skills/professions are very capable of doing it.
it's not unlike hosting mIRC server, a webpage, a forum...
you just need the code and the server.
you could create your own server on your own computer/internet capable of hosting a variety of things including a pvpgn and not have to spend the $15 a month if you spent some time researching it.. there are more than a couple people in this community who have the skills to make that happen relatively quickly.
jordan for example is another person who likely has an idea how to make that happen.
getting the source code for the client we currently enjoy is a skill less in the community seem to have.

maybe im wrong i would think ddosing 2 different servers in 2 different countries at the same time is more difficult than ddosing just 1 server in 1 country.
i would think more risky too. risk if being caught.
-

Just for lolz:
last known main Ru server location is NY
-
you conduct a DDoS attack on a server running through Spectrum Charter or some other massive ISP, and you're probably taking some sort of risk there.
