| | | FreeROSE update - May 19, 2008 |  Mon May 19, 2008 1:00 pm by Terr0risT™ | Last night, I had a long conversation with customer service reps from Smart Philippines. I was asking a very simple thing which they wont allow. I needed to open my ports 80, 433, and other stuff for everyone to be able to connect to my server. They wont give in. I called and talked to three different representatives from Smart but they just wont allow my request maintaining that it's a SmartBro policy. Hell, you can't even forward any ports inside their connection. In simple terms, Smart will never allow you to start a web, a mail, or a game server. They block all connections from the start. Their main reason is that these ports are usually used by malwares (viruses and stuff) to invade PC's at home.
Bottomline, my current connection (SmartBRO) wont allow me to setup FreeROSE.
Now let's go to plan B.. a plan I know is not really the best solution but at least something valid. I needed someone to volunteer to host the server for all of us. If you meet the qualifications, I will allow you to use my files, and you get full technical support through yahoo messenger. If you are interested, read carefully:
Requirements:
1. You must, of course, have your own personal computer, not a family computer (by this I mean a personal computer used by the whole family).
2. Your computer must at least have the following:
MINIMUM
Processor: 2.4Ghz Pentium D
Memory: 1 Gig
Hard Disk Space: 20 GB
Operating System: Windows XP Professional
DSL/Broadband Speed: 768 kbps
RECOMMENDED
Processor: 3Ghz Core Duo - or higher
Memory: 2 Gig - or higher
Hard Disk Space: 40 GB - or higher
Operating System: Windows Server 2003
DSL/Broadband Speed: 1.5 MBps - or higher
3. You must agree that once that server is installed and running, the computer can not be used for other purposes anymore, like doing your project, or browsing the net.
4. You also must agree (and this is very important) to keep the server running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In other words, unless you leave for a very long vacation, you are not allowed to turn off your computer.
5. You must at least have a good understanding of computer technicalities to make my job of teaching you a bit easier. If you're a complete beginner, you must agree to follow all instructions I give so we don't screw up.
6. And finally, you must have a Router. It doesn't have to be wireless. As long as it's a router that can forward ports, we can do with it.
That's it, if you meet all or some of the requirements above, login and send me a PM and state your interest in temporarily hosting the server.
Important Terms:
First, the program you will use is a highly modified version of OSrose. A lot of people have been asking me to release my files to the public, or make it available as a download. You are not allowed to give these files to anyone. As a security measure, I will be adding in some codes in the binaries which can permanently corrupt your system's BIOS rendering your computer useless. If you give out the files or make it publicly available, all I have to do is issue one command and every online computer using my files will just shutdown and never turn on again. You may have to replace your motherboard for this matter.
Second, we will not be using the previous database we had. Sorry, but it's too risky. However, all former players can request every equipment/skills/items and levels (including the stars and stats) they own and it will be given back to them. A separate thread in the forums will be created for this matter.
============================================================================
Everyone should understand that while this is not the best solution, we are doing this for one main reason.. and that is to enjoy playing ROSE online using one of the most advanced server files currently available.
