Annual "We Should Have An S.Net UT99 Online Battle" Thread

[Alice]

No, rly, we should.  Would something like Hamachi let us play a LAN game together, eliminating our need to create a permanent s.net server?

I couldn't be assed to find the last thread.

[MortifiedocAlot]

I'd be game, despite hardly playing UT.

This would be "freeware" right?

[Sneaky]

Yea, if there was a way those of us who don't have the game to PERFECTLY LEGITIMATELY acquire said game, to play, then I'm game.

You'd still need to set up a server regardless, Hamachi would just be overkill.

If'n you want to set up a date/time I can set up a server.  I'm pretty good at that kind of stuff, plus I have a dynamic hostname so it'd be really easy for you guys to join it.  I would like to play games and stuff (host "site events," if you will) with you guys more often.

[Sneaky]

So that'd be possible with things like DII, Starcraft, etc?

[Spectere]

Yep.

D2 would be quite fun, I think.  One thing that we should probably get started is a Ventrilo or TeamSpeak server.  I could run the game server, but if someone gets some sort of voice thing set up that would be awesome (or, alternatively, we could try to leverage some other free service).

[Bobbias]

Yeah, I'd be in for this sort of thing. That is, If I could connect to the server... Sometimes my internet likes to be a total piece of shit, since my router conveniently forgets that I ever told it to forward any ports.

[Spectere]

Indeed.  I already have your entire ISP in my ban list just in case you try to participate.

I'd love some D2 or some UT99, really we should do both at some point.

[Bobbias]

Agreed, I MIGHT be able to locate a CD key for D2, though no guarantees (if not, Hamachi can help out.)

UT99, I will have to obtain a PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE copy somehow.

I'm pretty sure you can do direct IP games over the Internet with D2.  I'll have to give it a try one of these days just to test it out.

[Bobbias]

Yeah, D2 has that, but whether it'll work for me or not is another thing altogether.

So, how many of us can get in a game of Diablo 2 together?

Also, me being from Florida on a shitty wifi connection and Bobbies being from snow land means it's going to be really hard to get a good game of UT99 going. I'd still be game to try, but damn.

[OmegaOmni]

How about TFC?

8 players in D2.

And our distance won't necessarily cripple the latency between us, however, the shitty wifi connection and the fact that my internet has been lagging in games recently, as well as the fact that my internet connection likes to unexpectedly drop out could pose a problem.
