I love Technic. I discovered a few months back, and it's my favorite way to play Minecraft now. I'm planning to setup a Tekkit LAN server for me and my roommates one of these days.
I find that it works best for multiplayer. When you have a bunch of people, it accelerates how quickly you can get from wood to nuclear. 10+ means we might have nuclear by the end of the two week session.
Yeah I have it I havent played it at all yet tho, but Great Little War Game was pretty dang good, so I cant imagine its far off. Probably one of the better turn based strategies you could get for your iphone. If you wind up getting it Im down for some multiplayer battles you fucker!
Never looked into leased game hosting before. I'm paying enough for my hobby webhosting as it is. The one time I had a dedicated VPS it turned out to be way too much hassle. I've got saltwater fish, a side business, and a day job. I'd be a HORRIBLY unreliable administrator. :-)
While I was playing Assassin's Creed, since I've been playing Borderlands, I will be doing the DLC on co-op, but for now I started playing Bioshock. Same makers of Borderlands, so it seems to be a good transition.
Would it be better to just get a standard hosting box somewhere and install Minecraft and Tekkit, or get a dedicated Tekkit host that's set-up already?

I have no idea what amount of RAM is reasonable or desirable to run an OS + server for Tekkit.
If somebody wants to step up and admin the server, and we can get at least a few players to chip in, my vote would be that the person with admin responsibilities doesn't pay. Being the one responsible to contact customer service, etc is surely worth a share.
Deadly violent crime committed against strangers not themselves involved in a crime is so ludicrously rare that I'd argue there is no reasonable reason to carry a pistol for self-defense against it.
I agree. Let's find someone to admin the server, and then SHOOT them!
I feel like we probably need around a gig of ram at least. That's probably a good starting point at least.
Will it even take that much upkeep to admin the server? I'd be willing to help out with that and chip in also. It's like 5 bucks a month between three people for a gig of ram.
Also, should we make a new post for this or maybe use the old minecraft one?
Without the need to store any kind of assets servers shouldn't take up a ton of ram, mostly the array for the terrain.
You can search Google for people asking the same question and there are usually responses from people who already run servers saying how much they use.

I've actually never adminned a game server, and my interest is piquing. Although I'm sure the responsibility is negligible, lemme do a little research after work before I make the formal commitment, especially if someone wants to use their own box than have us all rent. I'm also fine with fronting the money and contributing.
Omnutia and I played some multi-player Driver SF, and it was pretty fun, and things got a bit crazy - Like jumping a ramp truck off a ramp truck, that was in the middle of jumping off a ramp truck.
I'm still tempted to get Tribes 2 working in Linux. I contacted the guy who got it working by installing a bunch of VB libraries via Winetricks but he didn't take notes as to what he had installed.
Might ask him if he's still running it and see what winetricks list-installed comes back with.
Its only like $150 to unlock everything with gold in Tribes.
For $150 I can almost buy a 3DS. I could buy 15 $10 games. I could buy 150 $1 games. What moron would spend $150 on ONE GAME. Even Eclipse only costs $80, and that gets you a physical object. $150 worth of SQL UPDATE statements. No thanks.

Oh, in the video it says it comes with Equivalent Exchange and industrial craft. Wizards vs Scientists!
But I'd pitch in a coupla bucks for the hosting.

This seems expensive for any decent amount of ram. https://vortexservers.com/tekkit_hosting.php

Both are ludicrous overkill for something like this I'd imagine. ;^)
