The servers cost a lot of money, I don't think you or anyone but Chute knows how much he makes and spends on the servers.

Well I would assume that the max Chute spends on one box is no more than £2579.88 yearly and that's assuming that he pays for the box and doesn't actually host it himself. Also assuming he uses TCAdmin for the panel means he has to pay for the license which was a $300 one time payment. This is also assuming that he only pays for one box but a box that expensive should be enough to run all of ZARP's servers smoothly but obviously there is a possibility that he pays for/hosts 2 instead of 1. All in all with all those assumptions made I would say a max of £5000 a year gets spent on the servers and I'm willing to bet he gets AT LEAST £20000 a year from donations if not way more.

Of course there are a lot of big assumptions here since I don't actually know what Chute pays for but if he is paying more than £5000 a year just for the servers alone then he must be making some pretty bad economic decisions. Also this assumption does not include any further payments if any e.g. paying for developers/paying for outsourced custom content.

I wasted over an hour making one so we could test out an unofficial server to see how it goes?

TS3>Discord!

Discord is probably better then TS3 not only is it much easier to build bot applications for discord that could allow us to automate everything from ranks to gang channels. Plus due to the nature of discord your always connected and receiving updates instead of having to specifically connect like in TS3. That and their mobile application actualy works well and is free unlike TS3's. I think Discord is much better and maybe we will see an official ZARP gaming discord.

If you got rid of the Ts people would use the discord one because they'd have to then people would get used to it, just a suggestion

remove ~~kebab~~ ts3

very harsh idea and I'm pretty sure no one people will agree to it since they're tied to their outdated ts3

Unless any of you know how to code a discord bot you wouldn't honestly be of much help sorry. Discord is set up in a way that make it stupid easy to configure so having a discord guy who is only good at configuring wouldnt be much help really.

What would you want the bot to do?

Nothing that can be done with a public discord bot we would need to make our own.
