Should I release ChassyScape?

[Chassy]

Well, as I don't host much anymore and my computer can only hold around 10 people without lag, I have been questioning myself if I want to release ChassyScape to the public.

I have also began working on project Death To Us All. It's pure pking right now, and since it has SYI protection I have been thinking about a small VPS or something. I have a lot of work to finish with it, and that is why I don't mess with ChassyScape anymore. All-Star is also very unstable, and that is what ChassyScape is based off of.


I know about leechers, but ChassyScape is a very basic source and would be good for learners. You guys could also download it and host it for yourselves..but I am not sure if I want to yet.

I don't host often, and I can't buy a VPS.

There is a lot of cleaning up to do before releasing, if I do.


After I release it would probably kill the forums, and some of the old staff members could lose touch. I would leave these forums up for the playlist and chatbox, though. I just won't be as active as these forums have died almost because of the hosting status.

So...

Should I release ChassyScape?

Personally I would say, no, don't release it to the public because then it is going to get it leeched like crazy. ChassyScape is a special server to me, because it is unique, and it is where I made a bunch of friends. I would say send the files or something to another staff member so that they can continue to run the server, and you know that it is in good hands. I could host it once I figured out how to port forward, but I need to figure out the password that my parents set on my router before I am able to do that. If you are thinking about doing what I am talking about, and you want someone to host the server, I will let you know when I know how to port forward and you still haven't found anyone to host it, I will host it. =]

Well, I would offer to host, but I've been there, done that, and it sucks.

Here is what I think. Definately continue with the DTUA project, as it certainly has some potential. If you progress with that, and you have it going successfully, and you believe that you won't ever host Chassyscape again, then I say go for it (after cleaning it up and all of that jazz). You've done some pretty good stuff with it after all, especially with the bosses, so I think people could put it to good use.

PS: What source are you using for Death To Us All?

It's a PvP World Delta Source, but I am editing it a lot before I host it.




Also, I decided to release it. It got 53 downloads in a few hours, so it is kind of late to take it off if I wanted to. I haven't hosted this in awhile, and my computer isn't really fast enough. I would have someone else host it, but that kind of ruins the point to me. So I released it. It was fun spending the time on ChassyScape, but it's time for new projects.

There is the thread if you want to see it.

Yes Koopa, I realize people will leech it. But there are also those people who leave credits or people who would use it as a base. If they use my server, it means they liked it. And the ChassyScape V1 Thread states it is my work anyway. Maybe once you see DTUA up and running later and possibly on a VPS, you will begin to catch on and won't care as much for ChassyScape.

I am going to try and remain active on these forums now actually, and hopefully I will see you guys on the DTUA Forums and server when they are open. Yes, you will get staff there also.

Thanks to everyone who helped with ChassyScape, and now the source is open to the public.

Don't release it.
