Easy.quakeworld.dk servers!
The first test trial for Danish servers has been put up. These servers will hopefully serve as a good replacement to the popular Wargamez servers that will be down in a not too distant future.
After the discussion on renting a server to replace the oh-so-popular Wargamez servers, Paradoks has now stepped up and rented a server on the easyspeedy.dk host. The servers will be available for a month to start with, then evaluation will be done on whether to keep renting the server or not. For people willing to donate to keep these servers running (which we've seen proof of), go to the server donation page for more info.

Ports for the servers are:

easy.quakeworld.dk:28000 (Qizmo)
easy.quakeworld.dk:28501
easy.quakeworld.dk:28502
easy.quakeworld.dk:28503
easy.quakeworld.dk:28504
easy.quakeworld.dk:28505
easy.quakeworld.dk:28506

They are all running the latest MVDSV+KTX in allround mode and they are EZTV capable of course.

[update]
Ports changed, and 2 extra ports added!
Server donation now available.

Seems better than wargamez!
2007-08-29, 19:36
Ports might change i heard, so keep your eyes open.
2007-08-29, 19:56
nice... 39ms in qw on my crappy 2mb dsl
2007-08-29, 19:57
Ye, (way) better than wargamez for moi too. 90ms dosping to wargamez (my isp routed straange to wg), and now 24-25ms dosping...
2007-08-29, 20:45
This servers owns! So please support this in the future!
2007-08-29, 20:49
from 30-45ping with pl on wargamez to 13/0 on easyspeed.. ouuu yeah =)
molgrum.mine.nu:28000 got exceptional good routing to this server btw (3ms).
2007-08-29, 20:51
28ms to this compared to 13ms on wargamez, but i can live with that. Seems to be very good for "everyone" else.
2007-08-29, 21:09
It's always worth of trying some Qizmos. For example Gamers.nu at 194.17.31.241:27500 is only 11ms away from easy.QuakeWorld.dk.
2007-08-29, 21:27
paradoks ftw! \o/ \p/ \o/
dybbuk also seems to have good routing to easy.QuakeWorld.dk (dunno how much exactly, but less than 17 it seems).
2007-08-29, 21:49
Nice
2007-08-29, 22:38
FUCK YEAH! I got 3ms and will gladly donate to this server
2007-08-29, 22:45
hehe molgrum... i think your qizmo will gain quite some popularity.
2007-08-30, 01:20
I see other people having exceptionally low ping to easyspeedy:
jOn, contender, xtr, raz0, nayze
You should put up qizmos as well if you can and want to! (maybe the swedes are satisfied enough with mine though, I dunno )
2007-08-30, 01:44
There has already been put a qizmo on port 28000
2007-08-30, 01:48
I meant the people I listed should put up qizmos
2007-08-30, 01:53
fair enough =)
jOn said he had like 2ms to easy, but he was firewalled or some bs =)
2007-08-30, 04:25
paradoks is doing finally something useful, much love dave
2007-08-30, 06:25
2ms indead! Yepp I'm behind firewall, but ill setup a qizmo and disable the firewall for 100£ /month
2007-08-30, 06:50
url4ezTv?
2007-08-30, 06:54
Sad that this server unplayable for ru community .
Most ppl got 65+ here .
2007-08-30, 06:59
b1aze, that should be a routing issue that can be fixed with qizmo?
2007-08-30, 07:31
Well how lovely of you admins to delete my post, because I wasn´t as enthusiastic as the rest? Long live democracy...
2007-08-30, 07:32
eztv can be found on: http://eztv.eql.nu

As this server will have limited spec spots (like 2/port), i urge people to really try out ezTV. No more waiting in line when SR is playing F0m on easyspeedy for example - and all MVD features work too. <3
2007-08-30, 07:55
I quickly hacked together a program that pings a server through qizmos. Using this together with the qizmo.txt at quakeservers.net I pinged the new servers and got the following results, (only including < 40 ms results)

Sweden 83.168.219.66:28000 :: 2
Sweden 85.24.184.31:28000 :: 3
Sweden 194.17.31.241:27500 :: 12
Netherlands 131.211.155.88:27500 :: 13
Finland 193.10.65.193:30000 :: 13
Netherlands 194.109.69.75:28000 :: 14
Germany 89.149.194.72:27500 :: 15
Norway 85.19.64.131:28000 :: 16
Sweden 83.219.194.248:28000 :: 20
United Kingdom 213.232.95.125:28000 :: 22
United Kingdom 83.170.82.25:27501 :: 25
Czech 147.231.20.214:44444 :: 27
Hungary 152.66.109.92:27501 :: 28
Czech 62.24.64.11:44444 :: 33
Poland 194.187.43.243:27666 :: 39

Don't trust the results too much, some servers did not allow me to ping at all and some results can have been higher than what they really should be (and therefore excluded from the list).
I checked the countries for the ip's myself so they might not be correct
2007-08-30, 07:57
Phantasy: So that is basically what they requested in the forum?
2007-08-30, 08:03
Exactly
And credits to them for coming up with the idea.
2007-08-30, 08:11
phantasy, thats very nice. An idea would be to add a 'qconnect' command to ezquake that uses a qizmo.txt and connects to the specified server thru the qizmo that gives the best ping. I dunno if its worth trying to make it more advanced (going thru several qizmos etc). I think this would be good enough. Atleast it was a long time since i improved my ping by using >1 qizmo.
2007-08-30, 08:26
kubus.rulez.pl:27555 is missing from that list. It's only 25ms away and should be good for people in Poland.
2007-08-30, 09:55
well i would rather it was a server at game launch as i think routing to those servers is better for people outside of london in the uk, (i get 50 ms on easyspeedy and 40 on wg and gamelaunch) i would also be interested to hear from a few polish to see what their results on the new server are...

i can go through a qizmo however and get 40 ms but i suspect the qizmo i use will die soon :<

I am tempted to rent a gamelaunch server out myself anyway to have as a bst server... para how much does this cost you a month?
2007-08-30, 09:56
gg paradoki
phantasy, great news. can you post that program somewhere? i would like to test it.
willgurht: its not that linear. the "qconnect" command you mention should choose the best qizmo to the specified server (a) AND ping your machine to the qizmo (b). repeat that for the 3/4 best qizmo's. then do math: (a) + (b) = choose the lower result -> best qizmo to YOU
2007-08-30, 09:58
ill rephrase:
(a) + (b) = (c)

the lowest value of (c) is the best option -> "qconnect <(c) qizmo> <server>"
2007-08-30, 10:08
1+2 = 3
2007-08-30, 10:14
well i was just thinking of making it simple. As you say u need to take into account both client2qizmo ping + qizmo2server ping (and that these might vary a bit each time).

I realise this is not the perfect script for all situations, but it's simple and not complex. I cant understand why you say 'its not that linear'

There has been some mistake I guess.

Basically LethalWiz was saying that he isn't willing to pay/donate because the ping-time there is too high for him.

Well it's up to you if you donate or not, noone is making you to do so. If you have bad ping, try using Qizmo reroute to get it better.
2007-08-30, 10:30
Batfink: i think it's the E3007 model he chose on easyspeedy, so 69,99 euro/month. The whole thought would be to have many more of us in the community to donate for the servers in the future though as it adds up to quite some sums in the long run.

j0n: exactly
will: some english misunderstanding (by me ofc)

I hope all this fuzz about paying for a server isn't misunderstood. i've read some me-not-like-paying-this-is-bad-for-the-game. So, occasional player, if you're reading this, nevermind. leave this to the oldies - go play
2007-08-30, 10:48
'it's not that linear' - probably meant to be 'it's not that straight forward'

haven't had a chance to play on these servers yet but pings seem to be fine for me. nice one.
2007-08-30, 11:47
10ms dosping and 13ms in qw. Gladly donating
2007-08-30, 12:17
give me some polish pings plz!!!!!
2007-08-30, 12:58
Thank you Renzo for your response, I was hoping it was a mistake to remove my post.
And yes I found a proxy that gave my 26-30ms which must be considered ok.
chosen.servegame.com:30000 for you who have the same routing problems from Sweden as I have.
2007-08-30, 15:52
Well this seems to be an upgrade for me, on wargamez I had +60ms because of lol routing.
Now I got ping 10-15.
2007-08-30, 17:09
I have better ping as well from switzerland (with a shity ISP)... In fact I wanted to point out that this server signup for 1 month and paypal donations is the right thing to do. No need to invest big money and rent a server for more than a month. Routing and connectivity can change quickly and might get worse over time...
2007-08-30, 23:09
damn, ping changed for me tonight.. now i have to use two qizmo's (me -> quake.se -> speciell.se -> qw.dk) to get 38ms.. had 26ms directly to easy.quakeworld.dk last night
2007-08-31, 12:53
for ping measurement with nice graphs try out smokeping:

=)
2007-09-01, 09:51
Best results from Poland are by qizmo kubus.rulez.pl:27555 and we got 51 ping exacly same as to wargamez.
2007-09-04, 07:42
3 ms dosping from Lund (im guessing the same for a lundaquakers). Not too bad.
2007-09-04, 07:42
