its time to talk about our monthly payment situation. how you can see at the mainpage normaly we hit our monthly fee. this month it was a bit close but we got it again.
well, we heeds had some talking about the monthly cost and how we can reduce it. at the moment we need around 130.- GBP to run "this clan". so we also talked to our hoster if and how we can save some money but there is not really a point how we can realise that. the only point would be to resell our dedi server and going back to rent all this stuff again.
lack of clarity is how the monthly cost will be after we sell it. Our hoster ( gamingdeluxe ) would bought it back for 400-450.- GBP in that way we will get deducted that from what we will pay them for rent. after that periode we will have again our monthly costs and its hard to say how much it will be.
beside that we have different additional costs we save because we have our own dedi and so we don´t have to pay for that service.
if we sell our dedi server this would also mean to close down the bf3 server because we would have to rent that. same situation with the bf2 IO server. both had to be closed down to realise a significant cost reductuion.
this would be the new setup and the approximate monthly costs:
1. website ( 5.- )
2. bf2 server nofly 64 slots ( 50.- )
3. bf2 bots ( 8.- )
4. bf4 server 32 slots ( 30.- )
5. 1 procon layer,we save one during shut down bf3 ( 5.- )
6. 25 slots TS server ( 5.- )
sum total: around 103.- GBP
how you can see we can going down from 130.- to 100.- a month but, and that is in my eyes the biggest question, is that the right way? biggest problem is that our dedi hoster gamingdeluxe is not one of the bf4 hoster. so we have to pay that 30.- extra each month and can´t host it on our dedi. the other way would be to move our dedi to a bf4 hoster but we ask that too and that hoster don´t host 1Unit dedi´s.
however, what do you think about that situation and i ask our clan members and also our regulars and supporters. thats why this topic is starting in the open area.
not at last i see the bf2 nofly if full running with 64 slots and we are not really a small clan and i think it sould be possible to handle the cost´s we have at the moment and manage that in the future. this means we need 15 donations to 10.- GBP or 25 donation to 5.- GBP each month so get our target. but means also that this had to stand on more shoulders. if you look at the monthly donation you can find nearly the same names each month and i think that should not be.
how you can see in this little calculation the "clan", what means all servers, TS or not at last the homepage are not a selfrunner and i think no one should see that as a self-evidence that there is you favorite server who you can play each evening and i think it should be possible for everyone to pay 5.- or 10.- GBP each or only each second month because i think a fiver can everyone pay to help this clan running, or not? so please let us know you opinion.
