Thomas speaks Truth.

CARNT WAIT so excited XD

Hmm, that'll be a busy day then, getting a server running and all ;)
-
Yes, I assume BI will also be mirroring Ren X - it may be benificial to get in contact with them beforehand to get some stuff sorted out to make beta-launch that little bit easier. I'll prod some people.
-
They should make it available on bittorrent, then BI will seed. :)
-
That is something I'll poke them about when I speak to them, see if they have considered it or not.

Speak to fobby as he appears to be PR guy.

Hope it feels like Renegade. :) Certainly going to try it asap when it's released (well, beta released..). :)

Why cant you get it earlier and post some impressions?
You are a part of TT, why couldnt they allow it TT to test it a few days ago?

Because Renegade X has nothing to do with TT?
Because they already have beta testers?
Renegade X has been in production since at least 2007, I think we can wait 30 more days

My Negotiations with RenX didn't go to well; they don't appear to have thought their release strategey to well.
People who are mirroring RenX have to wait until the official release to gain a copy of RenX - this means all the people that want it will be downloading from the same place. They are also releasing server software at the same time as the client, so instead of having servers "Ready" as soon as release comes, players will have to wait for a little longer for more servers to appear.
Not planned well at all, imo. Even FS managed better than this, and the dev team there fails pretty bad :P
-
So when it's released all will be downloading from one server?
I really don't see a problem with this. At most.......200 people will be simultaneously downloading it.
Server side software is a problem though, they really should release this prior to the client release :/

It's actually very smart. They'll have their "official" server up and will get a length of advance towards other servers.

@ Liam - depends on if their server can handle allowing that amount of downloads, at a decent speed. First Strike suffers from low population, but even over >6 mirrors we had a few capping out when the latest version was released.
@ Goz - Yes, I see that, but overall it's a bad strategy.
If they dumped their server with the title "Official" and had their beta testers sitting on it come release, they would have a big enough advance to make their server primary.
Freeworlds tied this once: One Server updated and working when the patch was released, the patch was released the same time as server software. This involved full (and at the time, laggy) server which drove some off from the very start because they couldn't get a gameOR the game wasn't performing to well. It's good in concept, but doesn't always work out in practice: we'll see.

I'll talk to Fobby and try to convinve him to at least make sure that there are mirrors. Not that we specifically need to be that mirror, but that we would offer one at least. This because we know that otherwise our server + Seye + me + shitloads of others will be leeching from their server.
