View Full Version : Is Rogean rich!??!?

Anyone and everyone who has donated to P99 must know that the funds are used for 'up keep' of the server. This can be interpreted in many many many different ways.

The truth is; Rogean, awesome person who not only supports his staff but has allowed us all to enjoy this experience has spent countless hours of personal time making sure we can get this wonderful experience.

The rest of the staff also do a ton of work, which is taken out of their personal time, whether it be smoking, drinking or actual work, in order to have this wonderful P99 'project'.

But....

I'll leave it at that. ***tin foil hats on***

GO!

a little birdy told me Rogean lives on a yot in the winters sailing around Italy other swanky locations. Then is the summer he goes to his 1000 acre mansion on lake front that's in the adirondack. While getting fresh lobster shipped in from maine and prime beef from japan.

It kinda depends on your definition of "rich".

Rogean is clearly an experienced IT expert. I don't know his exact specialty (eg. whether he's more pure IT or more dev-ops), so I can't provide a Glass Door link or anything, but regardless if the dude isn't making six figures he's doing something wrong.

Six figures in annual income might sound rich, but depending on where you live it really might not be (I make six figures in Silicon Valley and I certainly am not "rich"). Plus, servers cost a lot: Project 1999 is not something you can use a $20/month shared hosting service for, it's something you need "real servers" for.

Even if you ignore the one-time cost of the servers themselves (a few k each I'd imagine) the rack space alone is going to cost a few hundred a month. Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but I kind of doubt people give enough in donations to even cover the costs.

But even if I'm wrong, and folks donate say $600/month and the costs are only $400/month ... that's a net gain of $200/month, for a guy who makes like $20k a month. I promise you, he is not getting "rich" of P99.

Bah, I did bad math in my head. That should have said "makes like $10k a month" at the end there.

I beg to differ sir. With this new tech called VMs, this server can run on maybe 100$ a month and that includes ISP charges.

P99 since inception has made over 1 mil in donations. Pretty sure...

Rogean posted pictures maybe a year ago of the physical machines co-located somewhere. I suppose he might have switched to AWS since then, but if he did I'd imagine we'd have heard about it.

Plus, even if you optimistically take a $100/month AWS bill (and I strongly suspect that's too low, having used AWS to run web applications with far lower requirements), how much do you really think people donate a month? Out of maybe 2k average users I'd think less than 0.1% actually donate, with maybe an average donation of $10 each, for a total of $20 a month.

Even at 10x my estimate, that's only $200/month, which again is chump change for someone making $10k/month.

Just bend over and take your correction like a man, you spelled YACHT like an imbecile.

It's ok. :D

Back on topic, YES Rogean is RICH. He is rich in character, clearly proven in his displayed affection for a 20 year old MMO and making it possible for us to have a place to call our home away from RL home.

How can you even ask such a stupid, ridiculous question? You are speaking about the god of all elfs EQ-related, the ALMIGHTY ROGEAN!

Yes, he is rich.

kobe beef is poop and it a term that don't really mean nothing and only really apply to the poopy-genes "wagyu" clever ranchers imported to dupe baka gaijin into thinking they eating something good when they not.

Looks like it is correct seeing that Rogean was looking for a hard drive tray for their Cisco device and the one in the picture has the same caddy style.

Would love to know how they have it all setup to handle all the zones they support. I ran eqemulator years ago to play with it and you have to have a multiple zone.exe's running to handle people going to other zones. I bet they have 1 zone.exe running for every zone so the world.exe knows about them and can handle a player in every zone or they let them spin up as needed. I never got that far in my setup. Lots of resources there.

Still, only two pages (ie. 50) results for the person who has been on these forums longer than anyone? And the oldest one is from 07-01-2016? I know Rogean doesn't post publicly a lot, but he must have posted publicly at least once before then.

I beg to differ sir. With this new tech called VMs, this server can run on maybe 100$ a month and that includes ISP charges.

P99 since inception has made over 1 mil in donations. Pretty sure...

Have you ever used a VM for anything? You can't even open Notepad without it taking 10 seconds. You really think these dank ass servers are on some shitty ass VMware?

Go find me a quote for any service that will handle 1000 concurrent users and charge only 100$ a month.

Kids these days...

Like when those noobs go around telling people "they can build you a professional website in like a week easy", and you end up getting a fucking Wordpress blog.

Pretty sure at some point Rogean said he bills his consulting hours at $150 an hour as a Network Engineer.

This is the thread discussing his wealth right?

PS Rogean would paypal the profits to buy himself and a girl named tralina a new car a few years back.

nice to know that you clean toilets for a living. I'd say 'learn to' something or another, but just stick to your day job, champ. ;)

I was going to say - before you start vm bashing check your SAN connectivity / fcoe drivers/firmware. Or, well yeah - if you're running vms on a server like the one that was pictured (looked like an R715) with 1 spindle turning? What do you expect?

Since this is RnF and everything has to be MLA formatted and cited, here's 1 of the clusters I administer:

who won? it seems like rebbon one, and mccoy is the airplane.. this has been an exhilarating exchange but i don't understand the significance of the climax!!!

i think actually that perhaps mccoy proved rebbon wrong and now rebbon is the plane crashing and burning??

Granted - it isn't a large implementation, it's a small enterprise layout. I was just wishing to show that yes you can indeed have a high density and expect reasonable performance. The majority of the vms are running low-volume websites with various back-ends so they don't need much in the way of resources. There's also 3 other clusters involved - there are requirements as to what data can reside on the same physical hardware as other types of data, so there is both a physical and logical separation involved.

And just to set the thread straight... I was agreeing with daf's comment about the person bashing vmware needing to return to their day job. I should have written that more clearly.

MM is easily maxed in Innuendo, don't see anyway to improve tbh. Almost every MM post if you look hard enough, you can find an innuendo. Some small, some large, but you always find them.

Literally: even if she never makes a single innuendo in her post, her name/avatar is an innuendo. Maybe her 3rd forum incarnation will be MelonInnuendo ;)

Yeah MM needs to have a third forum account, but Meloninnuendo is too simple, MM would have a much more clever and quirky name for it I am sure. :p

When a tranny arrives in RnF, writes something that sounds technical and reads that way, but fails at technology.

Both you neckbeards need to go back to school and get tested for reading comprehension. You completely ignored the context in which my statements were made. This Stephen Hawking said you could host p99 on vmware, including ISP charges, for 100 bucks and expect good performance. That isn't to say that virtualization technology is shit. It obviously is not. But for 100 dollars a month? It will be shit.

Then you're dumbass goes and posts stats of an enterprise level cluster? Could you post the bill for that monthly including maintenance costs and licensing fees? I'll wait...

Then you two proceed to circle jerk and 69 over your perceived victory, all the while looking completely ridiculous since your arguments drifted away from the original retarded statement made by the "I'd pay a dollar for that!" gentlemen.

You're right. I do clean toilets. And I just found two turds in this one.

I consider us all entities first and foremost.

I also can't tell others what they are so always leave that part up to them. Except thieves and liars. I can call them out for exactly what they are.

***I actually think of MM as some alien life form tbh. If I had to guess, I think MM looks like this:

MM has off the charts imagination that only a non-human could have. :)
