Our group develope mass multiplayer game with VB. Our aplication is VB6SP5 compiled exe. We will need good, but for testing, cheap WIN server that allow VB aplications. We need any WIN server from NT to 2003. We need 200MB of space (min).
I don’t know if this is good place for this question. Hope, somebody will help us. Thanx in advance.
Well we will cover Second World War, and we will try to make it real. We will try to force people to work together, there will be some sort of command line, many units that were in WW2, and many sides, not only two of them.
So, do you have some good Win server to recommend?
Yes, but it is a Home-PC so it has only a normal Cable Connection to the Internet. This means: 16kb Upstream and 200kb downstream. I’m afraid this works only for a Testserver… ^^
At first on the named server. When the game works, then i’ll rent a Server for the game. There several good Hosting-Companies here in germany like 1&1 or Arcor
But it is a splitted game. Everyone can open a own server. The IPs of all the Servers will gathered in a Masterserver with a everytime-same-IP. In this way the user can always choose his favourite server. Every Server is unfortunately a own world, so i will first open a big one on a server from the companies named above.
OK, thank. We also don’t have server jet, but when we will have first stable game server, then we’ll purchase it.
What a pity that both german companies you said don’t have english version of their sites, so I can’t understand all.
Does anybody know what is the easiest way to find alfa/beta testers from all around the world? In near future we will need them.
Post in so many forums u know. And ask friends to make the game public. If it’s really good, it will become famous of it’s own 
By the way: I would be an betatester!!! ^^
Well, it looks we have private topic here. 
You haven’t tell about your game yet, what about it will be?
Sorry for bad english.
Consider yourself as beta tester. 
It will be a big World, splittet in little Lands. Every player who register get a land for himself with a castle on it. The he can build up buildings for villagers or workers and can start to get ressources and taxes from the villagers. Then u can grow up your army. It’s a squad whats leaded by a hero (as same as in Warcraft). the hero can carry items and can control a specific number of units under himself, what foundet on his skillpoints. With a heroleaded-army u can wander around and get new lands for yourself.
Thats a very small overview
Sorry, for my bad english, too
Real time or Turn based?
Our game will be turn based but with few turn command (you can order what units will do in few next turns)
It will be round-based, but if u have the server-software, u can decide how long a round will take. U can choose a time between 5 minutes and 1 hour, how u can hold your server online.
Hey, the idea with then few turn command is good… I shouldn’t forget it
