Have you ever considered setting up games servers so that your users can waste each other at games like kingpin?? I would take great pleasure in slapping some people about here around. And i'll bet the feeling is mutual!!

Those servers are a little elitest on the part of SR, no?? I can't play becaus eI wouldn't allow myself to go back to a 56k modem, freeola service or not, what about the few lucky people out here with cable modems??
Ali, will you be thinking about doing this for internet console games in the future?
Probably not, because freeola will not be supported by the consoles!!

I should think so. It's only a standard DUN and ISP. Why not?

Whilst it would be very nice to run games servers free of charge, it would also be expensive.
This means you would all have to pay more for your games. No doubt some of you would therefore buy your games elsewhere.
So - running games servers would make you buy your games elsewhere.
If we find any way around this little connundrum (Grix please help me with spelling) then I'll let you know.
By the way Bonus - playing online games from a cable modem is cheating!

Ok, here's an idea. Dont run them permanently, but how about every so often running a league or tournament for various games?
You could charge a set amount for entry, payable at SR shops as well as over the 'net. The winner could then get some money or games/hardware etc.
I dont know exactly how you would host them, can you "hire" servers for a couple of weeks. I know Barrysworld hosted stuff, but obvipusly they may not be in a position any more. Although i did hear they got bought by someone...
Anyway, if you did do competitions, it would get the SR name mentioned further afield and maybe bring in customers? It would be self financing as well as the money people pay to enter could be used for the hire of the servers for the duration of the competition.
Just an idea anyway....
