BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2 IS HERE!Posted by VoGon in Untagged |

Its the new online game hype, and there has been much interest in it. Battlefield Bad Company 2 is being released on March 2nd and we have decided that we will have a server for the community!
Our feeling is that we need to be one of the first to have a server for it and thus bring some fresh people into our midst.
In order to do so however we need to have money lined up so we can buy it, as it must be purchased from a Authorized dealer and, of course, Killercreation is one of them.
The situation is not good at the moment, as we do have donations (and a deep apreciation to all that contribute) but we are looking at either buying a simple game server for the game or needing to get another dedicated for it. The reason is that it cannot be installed on our current. Not due to the power of the one we have but due to the servers being Windows-based only (booooo!) and most importantly blocked from all outside access (more boooooo!), as to be ranked by EA they cannot be tampered with.
This will increase our already high monthly bill, and as you understand makes it too hard to bear. With only some people donating and without regular donations (as in subscriptions) we have no idea on what to count on per month.
If we bought another dedi we could have more than one BC2 server and this would definetly call more attention to our community and bring more members to donate etc, but again the cost would be too high at the moment. We are planning to run at minimum one for a month, see how it stacks up and then we can make decisions on balancing out the CS:S needs and the BC2 needs.
We are asking that players who could maybe donate but have not, sign up for a monthly donation to support our Battlefield endeavors until they are popular enough to support themselves. All we are asking is that those of you who can help donate whatever you can to help out. But most importantly do it in a subscription way so we can count on X amount per month for it.
Once you set up a donation for it, you will get a reserved slot in all of our servers, use of the tag, donator rights on the servers and you will know that you are helping to make our servers the most popular and fun to play on. Also, although we cannot yet confirm exactly what or how, at minimum we believe we can give reserved slots on the new BC2 servers (no guarantee as details are sketchy, but we are fairly sure this is possible). Given the hype and popularity of this game, reserved slots on a decent server with your mates will be crucial. We also believe we will be able to give server rights.
One-time donations are also accepted and extremely helpful but where possible subscriptions really help us to get a clear view of what we have per month!
Please support TWKgaming and let's get our community at the forefront of the Battlefield Bad Company 2 scene!
