Would anyone considering buying an Goldsource or Source game server? Here's the story, A friend of mine and I have been discussing buying one for a little while now. Last week he went onto a new server that came on and saw that it was for sale. After a little discussion with the owner he messaged me. I said I'd think about. I later told the guy that we wouldn't be able to purchase his server, he then told me that my friend had apparently told him that we were 100% sure we'd buy the server even though he wasn't the one who'd end up paying for most of it in the first place, that would be me. The guy had turned down other potential buyers thinking we'd buy it soon. So I told the guy I'd make it up to him by trying to find other buyers. He's offering it for $23 dollars a month, it's being hosted in London and even my ping here in the US was pretty low. 14 GB of RAM, 4 Intel Xeon Core processors, 100 GB connection, up to 32 player slots.

That's super dodgy, man. There's plenty of companies that sell good server hosting. You don't even know which company this is with - why would you buy a server in-game?!

Is he telling you to pay him or are you paying the hosting company directly?

$23 a month!? (this deal is a bit too good to be true)

I wouldn't recommend buying it from him whatsoever, he could rip you off at any time. I would recommend buying from Nuclear Fallout servers, as they are of good quality, but they are expensive. You could probably get a 12 slot server for $23, and trust me, it wouldn't be a mistake. Chances are the server will be never filled up anyhow.

That's one of the reasons I didn't buy it, like I said I didn't say anything about buying besides "I'll think about it." My friend made all these deals and expected me to go along with it.
