I am working on the first stages of a multiplayer online game.

Any tips on game hosting services with IRCD?

Between 500 and 1000 players is ok for a start.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.




Any reason why a VPS wouldn't cut it? assume I know nothing about games, online or otherwise (at least not since Street Fighter II)


cool! Any more info on the game you can provide?


I'm also building one, been blogging as I go: http://push.cx/tag/athenge

And, yeah, I have a similarly low opinion of the game industry as this article. Looking at it from the outside I see no reason to be part of it, I'm happier to be a software company that does games rather than a games company. http://push.cx/2009/the-game-industry


Not at this moment, but as soon as I get the hosting I'll put it online for testing.
