Worth Starting a server?

[KaRnAgE]

i been running and playing and messing with lom servers since the beginning but only ever for private use.

Ive got myself a dedicated server and im wondering if its worth me running one? or have i left it too late?

I wont have any problems with lag or anything.

How many players would i get and whats the best server to run to attract the most players?

Any help would be great!

Il also be looking for a small team to help with admins etc as i dont think id be able to manage by myself.

Thanks for any help!

well, to be honest as long as people who are creating p servers keep using their imagination servers will just get better and better so not to late imo.
Best server to run? well thats hard to answer, altho we got 1.9 servers floating around now many people still like the old 1.4 as do I many more 1.9 servers are being created so I would say either up to you which ever one you feel more conforatble with

they are both the same they work off the same base code the .exes and setup of the files is the same

the only differance from the 1.9emu files and the 1.4 files is that the 1.9emu files read more .wils, have more npc commands, have more GM commands, in short they have more

Work on a 1.4 but look at one aspect very carefully, all servers nower days are directed at wizards, do something different, stop wizards running servers like they always do... try get the other classes involved in the game, make spells like shinsu etc matter, dont just make them weak pets and then shove a npc that any class can buy a pet with like 5000hp... think about that, then make it =)

 

[chippy]

well shinsu is going to be the first pet a tao gets but they will get summon skele later but it will summon a bonespearman(of euro mir2)

btw im am going to be a gm/mod on his server

 

[SoulSpirit]

Just dont make spells that are meant to be powerful useless, wizards ALWAYS rule private servers, change that and make it even, no server really has so seeing that would be a refreshing change, means you could play any class and pretty much be able to do the same.

True to make it more balanced out i say keep wizards like they are... Add maybe abit extra mc to their items, give taos pets a big boost as taos are harder to lvl. Maybe only allow 1 of each pet but make them fairly strong, a lvl 7 shinsu equal to maybe lvl 32 warrior? And give warriors massive AC boost that wud be gud for lvlin but make dem sux at pvp against wizards.. To balance it out

i am not sure if another server is needed, i recently red a post (forgot who by) saying about things that you should think of before making or putting up a server. And one of the questions was, *do you think any more servers are needed at this time?* Well i would say no, not atm seens as there are loads of servers up to play. BUT however, i would say yes if there is something different about this server which will make it stand out from others just my thoughts.

Depends if its good, if its not, dont start it.

 

[Liandrin2]

Do it, but only if your willing to put the work into keeping every1 happy and keep the server moving in the right direction

 

[chippy]

this server should be up during the next 3-5days thats if server owner decides what files to use so i can get started on making items ect.

dont even bother starting it then.

 

[chippy]

why not bother to start it?
at least give a reason for saying that lol

 

[Khuul]

you wanna think of the stuff to make and make them b4 you go live, also a server created in 3-5 days? think u should spend abit more time developing if you want it to be a good server imo :P

 

[Ash]

yep , i agree, all the successful servers have had alot of work put into them. Where as the ones tht have been made in a period of say, 3-5 days like you say, always end up being the ones with a server count of 2 players etc and end up going down after a month or so.

Think about all the things thats bored ppl in mir before... Ever server has same things.. Lvlin in same place's hunting in same place's get few new items.. wow. BORING add more to the server then just lvlin / hunting place's give a new feeling to mir.
