Server rules:
You want to play on our servers? These are the rules to follow. Violaters will be warned, upon repetition kicked out of the server, upon continous repetition also banned. We run our servers since 2006 and have 300 people on the kicked list and 25 on the banned list. If you're banned and you think it was unreasonable you can join the discord channel of discord and make your plea there!

Location:
Falkenstein, Germany (🇩🇪, Europe) (Google Maps)
Helsinki, Finland (🇫🇮, Europe)
The servers are hosted at Hetzner. A company that builds their own datacenters, their own servers and their own connection to the outside world. On the right site you see a photo of the datacentre in Falkenstein, somewhere in one of those red buildings is our server.
The main server is in Falkenstein, and the backup server is in Helsinki. Whenever the mainserver has any issue we can directly continue on the backup server in Helsinki. The hardware & connection of both servers are identical.
Hardware & Connection:
- Type: Dedicated Server, no virtualisation
- CPU: Intel i7-8700 with 6 cores on 3,2Ghz.
- Memory: Micron 64 GB DDR4 RAM (4 x 16GB),
- Space: Samsung 2x 1 TB SSD m2.NVMe in RAID.
- Connection: 1000 Mbit/s (125 MB/s), no traffic limit.
- Real speed to: Kaiserslautern (Germany) 920 Mbit/s (115 MB/s) download and 944 Mbit/s (118 MB/s) Upload.
- Real speed to: Ashburn (VA, USA) 945 Mbit/s (118,13 MB/s) download and 944 Mbit/s (118 MB/s) Upload. (see screenshots below)
Nolf needs at it's max with 16 people online 0,335 megabyte per second.
So NOLF takes like 0,28% of the max bandwidth of the server!!! NOLF on idle (no players) takes 3% of the CPU power (see screenshot below). On paper: impossible to experience lag! Why two servers you may ask? Well I don't rent two - fromt the point of view of nolf - overly specced servers only for nolf. I need it for my work, it just happens that there are still plenty and plenty of resources left for nolf. Since my work requires a server that is always online and fully functional, I need a second one to ensure that its always available. Yes, I'm the sole owner of those two servers, and yes I have to pay fully for both of them. Despite of the high monthly costs, a membership in the Ego clan is free of charge!
