Not being sure which of these two services were better than the other and hearing some people bash Citadel while others praised I decided to run a server off each and see which actually did the better job. I was going to run this comparison for a month however, events made this impossible. Citadel: Nice control panel that should make it easy to set up a game server. Easy and hassle free. Had to pay extra to get a server in the U.S. so it ended up costing $15.01 for 2 gig for one month. Sent in one ticket and it was answered in a reasonable amount of time. Replied to it and it has taken far too long for them to answer. I'd like to tell you how well the server ran but I can't. After mucking about for several hours the server would not connect to anything. I did get it to run the Adventure map for a few minutes so I logged out of the game to change GM powers and after restarting the server it wouldn't show up on the server list and I couldn't connect via IP. That was the one and only time I could connect to the Citadel server. Since that time it has never worked. They told me to upload the custom map with their File Manager but...it wasn't a custom map. It was the Adventure map that came with the game. Just the same I did try and upload a custom map. Their File Manager couldn't connect to anything. Got a 404 error message every time. I could upload a custom map using Filezilla but fat lot of good that did because no matter what map I used the server would not show up on the server list and I could not connect via IP. They have been NO HELP in resolving this issue which is most certainly on their end. Citadel's score. FAIL. Pingperfect: Nice control panel that makes it easy to set up a game server. Maybe one or two fewer doodads but nothing to make a difference. Cost for 3gig was $17.88 for one month. I had a server up and running in about ten minutes, logged on and was walking about the game world. Logged off, made a GM. Logged on and everything worked fine. Uploaded a custom map with Filezilla and set the map up in about ten minutes. Started it up and was walking about the game world. Everything was easy and hassle free with some nice FAQs to guide me. Pingperfect's score PASS What do I think? This is just my opinion but after the experience I had with the two companies I would have to advise people to stay away from Citadel. While they have a nicer mod set up but what good does it do you if your server does not run? They have so many issues as noted by other people that I would tell Wurmians to go with someone else and stay away fro Citadel Servers like the plague. On the other hand Pingperfect was just as easy to set up as Citadel and the server actually worked and the cost per gig is less. And since this is all about servers i would say that having a working server is a plus!
