Hello Community,

Finally the new Server hardware is online and work as expected. Everything work fine so far, we have now more then enough resources and there will be definitively no more hardware related lags.

Details about the Hardware:

500€ - Tyan Transport - Unit Barebone - 350 Watts Power Supply - Solid Metal Case with 4 Master Fans
450€ 2xAMD Dual Opteron 275 (2x2x2,2Ghz (8,8 Ghz))
350€ 8x1GB Kingston ECC-Registered RAM DDR (Run as 4xDual Channel)
185€ 4x250GB Seagate 16MB 7.2k Raid 10 (High Perfomance / Security)
25€ HDD Cables (4xS-ATA 1M, Y-Power Adapters, Power->S-ATA Ad.)
40€ HDD cages
15€ Power measurement (To check if the power supply hold it)
40€ Coolers, Other Cables, Remote Reset Controller etc.
75€ Shipping costs (From different vendors)

Details about the costs:

+ 1680€ - Hardware costs
+ 59€ - Reset System
+ 311€ - Operation System (Win 2k Advanced Server) (300€ cheaper, thx to eBay)
+ 150€ Setup Taxes

= 2200€~ Totally once and 150€ / Month for the housing

Its a pretty powerful Server and that cost of course a few euro. We planned that very carefully.

Here you see a few little pictures of it (More details in the Forum) ->

Here you see what you are playing on. A Server with a lot of performance and security built by me.

The Server is now in a housing center @ Keyweb. As I wrote already it are of course high costs so donations are really welcome I paid 90% out of my pocket and its even for me a lot!

Dont forget that this is currently one of three Roots which we have for the WoW Server, so it are not the only costs.

You can guess that after the big Hardware Upgrade comes a big Software one, just have patience.

New Vote System

Hello Server Community,

The Votesystem by Demonoid is done. You get now points for your votings.

That means you can buy now ingame interesting stuff for your points at the Server Information NPCs (Located at Start Areas, Cities and Premiumtown).

Examples are Healing/Mana Potions, Bags or even Buffs (Level dependend) at the moment. More stuff will follow in the next days, so it make defently sense to start voting now if you want to do a good raid or need better equip and cant donate for example.

We just added the Vote System now to this post it will be later a popup or in-frame we havent decided that yet, happy voting!

If you want to see the Top Voters (Who get special prices) then have a look here -> http://croggesserver.com/ranking.php

Credits go to Demonoid for the PHP System, Halina for additional help and I did the In-Game parts.

Greetings,

Hello Server Community,

Crogges Server wish you a happy easter!

We hope that you like your time on our Server, we made a little suprise for you and spawned 300 Eastereggs in Azeroth and Outland. There are some Zones where you find more, you will notice that quickly.

They drop interesting stuff, and two unique easter items which only exist here. Just look at unusual places...

Smart Phone / Rewards and Money / Core Update ... ?

Crogge (Last Update by AngeloA4 on 15.03.08)

19-02-2008 05:30

Hello Server Community,

We have some important news for you ! The news-update will include ...

Real-Money and Rewards!
Crogges Server: Now available on Mobile Phones!
Backup-Forum: Online!
Core Update?

- Lets start with the first dot, "Real-Money" and "Rewards", sounds great ... right?

Yes its true, this is possible since we know Bux (.to). Basically you will need to open some advertisements so we and you get money, furthermore you will get the chance to win nice rewards! The Top 3 ranked users will get a 30 Days Premium-Membership Gold Account!

All you need to do is CLICK HERE!

- To talk about something different but certainly not less intresting, we have the "Crogges Server Smartphone" for you! You can check out the current Server Status and see how much players are online!

We will extend the options pretty soon with a Shoutbox and other interesting functions. A live-link with the In-Game functions is also planned!

Now you will ask yourself if you will be able to do that with your current mobile phone ... Well we can tell you the most mobile phones build after 2004 have a Web-Browser, so yes for those phones this will certainly work.

Do not worry if you have a old phone from 2001 like a Sony Ericsson T610 for example, we suggest you to install the free "Opera JAVA Browser".

The costs for that are very cheap, the Website will only load a few kilobytes. The text-only version will cost less then a cent, even after a lot of reloads!

Open this link "http://mobile.croggesserver.com/" on your mobile phone or look for smartphone under the external links wich can be found in "Media".

- About the "Backup-Forum" ...

Go to "http://backupforum.croggesserver.com/" to read more about it, we can tell you that it is a independent Forum which will still work even if all Servers are offline. Take a look at it and post a feedback in our forums if you like to say something about it.

Furthermore we are very excited to tell you that the next news-update will be the long expected 2.3.3 Server Patch Client "Core Update", so stay tuned!

Greetings,

Serveradministrator Crogge
