Dont be scared do what you feel your server is. Listen to some feedback , enjoy all the learning. Hell i'm on my 4th set of C code files lol , i keep changing to try diffrent ideas.
If you're on your 4th iteration...I wouldn't play your servers.
It's all well and good trying new things and changing your idea, but to have each mind change a different server release, just makes you a completely unreliable server owner and not one that people will want to play on lol.
Servers could be really good for all i know, but that bit of information strikes you off my list of server owners i would play with.
In response to the main thread title, there are KNOWN server owners who do the following:
- Advert is nothing more than mentioning what the rates are, as if it makes for an interesting server.
- Spending ~5 minutes on creating a server (This often results is basic Database entries, downloading/opening basic set of Crystal files and clicking the run button)
- More time being spent on the gameshop as oppose to the servers longevity/content and actual gameplay.
- No dedicated server, despite the frankly cheap host in comparison to the money we know can be made on servers running successfully (If you bothered to spend more than 5 minutes on a server, this would be easy to afford).
- Unreliability/Corrupt server owners. These have had multiple iterations in the past, all have failed, all have been corrupt to some extent.
These servers are not given the time of day. Everyones tired of them and they should be forced off and killed before the doors open.
