When I see all this kind whining I do wan't to quit working for free and start doing something for my own pleasure and business. Yes, development can take long time, but even official servers upon release have bugs and exploits. This is what closed beta and open beta it's for, is to try to find all of those and fix when its possible.
Once InfiniteSky is finished it will beat the shit out of official servers. Their resource consumption is out of the earth and current server logic vs the performance we getting is ridiculously bad.
Those leaked Chinese files are still bugged and its not fully featured as far I know and open for some exploits. Win32 application if not mistaking, that requires an additional paid license when hosting. Hosted "in a bit" that has no preparation or w/e as people often are bathed in boiling water doing stuff careless and quick.
Pro about emulators? Yeah, there are many, only if the team cares about it. Perhaps team is too much describing me and Liam, but we definitely solve problems on pretty much like senior developers but without time restrains. This past year give us a lot of knowledge and we or at least I am decided to host the server, soon. It's beautiful that the only thing that its considered us to be Korean official are packet structure and bytes between the client and client itself. Everything else is just better. No one helped or told us developing server structure, and no one even have a clue what's under the hood of our bbe. We have put really a lot of thought into everything and we won't stop now.
And lastly more important is to increase the community and encourage to play this awesome hack and slash game, because keeping the same old community has only one ending result - it will be gone with passing time.

Thanks,
Ane.

Those files aren't as bugged as you may assume. They just need proper care. They'll do untill Infinity Sky reaches the later testing phases. Do not bother with what al3css says, he is not worth it.. at all, the emulator is indeed superior to ALT1's own servers.

I don't know how long the process is of getting a new host, but is it possible to saturday or sunday?

We have got the new host already.

We are just configuring the server again, it took alot of hours to recover the data from the old host because of the download speed was really slow.

Like I've said yesterday the server would be online today or tomorrow if it goes smooth.

The new server is more powerful than the one we had, and the host which we've chosen seems to be high quality. Let's see how everything goes when the game-server comes back online!

We will be posting here the information when everything is set to go.
Thank you for the attention,

The difference between this private server and megabyte his project is that megabyte and co (Ane) etc coded it themselves (better than alt1), Ts1 was a poorly coded game, megabyte etc have been working on it improving it the best they can ( even coding it from almost scratch, correct me if I'm wrong mega and ane). It is taking so long because they do it in their free time and are coding it from scratch, the difference is infinity sky will be much better, Mega for instance made alot of hacks already impossible in his server. Do whatever you like, you can play this one for a while and once megabyte his project is finished join that one, or just wait for megabyte his server.

I understand that megabyte work hard on his server to make it work but I see no reason on donating.

I would rather donate to a server where I can play.

Also MyDooMJr we are waiting server to get back up again We appreciate all work u guys put into server :P

I am not saying you should donate, but it would really help them, probably even speeding up the project. In my opinion I'd rather donate to a better but not yet finished server than a temporary server.

With donations I actually meant using the money to help the project, not for own earnings. For example the mesh simplification you used.

@Almar, If Liam's project is made form scratch , that means the project wont be affected by copyright laws am i right ?

I believe so yes.

[Mega Byte]

So much text wow

The server emulator is but its currently LGPL3 I think? So free for anyone.
It requires work still but Ane (bialy90722) and Liam / My Self (MegaByte) are still there.
We recently had another 2 people contact us saying they would like to help code so thats nice.

I guess we made the server project open source to hope that the community would join in and help us finish it quicker and make it the best it can be. But they have kinda let us down. But at least there have been a few great helpers out there who share their information and experience on the game.

Most of the other people just bitch and whine about our slow progress and wanting to play right now. Its like they don't understand we have lives/jobs/study etc.... At least sema's server is a way for them to play now and get back into the game they enjoyed so much, so treat the server right, please don't exploit the dupe bug and other things and get it destroyed like the original servers .

bialy90722 has been an amazing person though hes one of the major reasons im still working on this thing its great fun and learning yep.

As for Fantaiks/Sema's server yeah it will be back up he got the host the other day with anti ddos lets hope it works well .

He has server costs now that we don't so hes most likely going to ask for donations to help cover those costs.
From what I understand this is normal with privately funded/hosted servers. Paying for it out of your own pocket and running it like a pro is not sustainable generally.....

Donations to the InfiniteSky project go towards getting stuff we might need, eg we might get cash shop points, software or even pay some artists and stuff. Heck we might even buy pizza and energy drink haha, but it does make us feel better about working on this project for all of you when we see the thanks and gratitude that some have you have shown us.

As for wanting to donate for something you can play on well that's understandable basically just want something in return whether that is assurance you can keep playing on that server or that you get something in game who knows.

As they have said they will switch to our server code when it is to a playable state. It is not quite there but we are getting more excited with some of the recent improvements. So its worth helping us out where you can be that by donations or by sharing your information, checking for bugs when we do our tests or going over our issues in github and checking in the server its self to make sure we haven't forgotten anything.

We do require some people to help with the English translations, we use spreadsheets on google docs some of you have seen them they are available for anyone to see. Also the messages.dat has some broken information that needs fixing up....

Troy has done a pretty good job on preventing some of the known exploits/hacks and preventing packet sniffing/tampering with wpe pro. He even patched out game guard problems that afflicted all the other servers/clients running on the leaked chinese files exclusive for Sema's server.

I am not understanding the desire there was by someone to ddos such a small server.....

If you think something is a waste don't do it.

[MyDooMJr]

Little update!

Our nextstepgaming forum is online , the server will be later on!

EDIT - Players will have to download a new file, it's small don't worry in order to access the game-server!

Information will be given soon.

[SoCuteChii]

Good job guys, you got everything sorted very quickly!

[fantatik]

EDIT

[WattDaFkk]

@mega , I dont want it to be a waste , thats why i was asking if i should play on this pserver and whats the difference between this and yours. I kinda like , if i start something , to be the real deal , not just waste time and atm it does seems a bit like a waste so i guess i'll just fool around on this one while waiting more news from yours.

[lolzo10]

@fantatik After the server goes live and is going good can you give us 3x exp event to catch up missed time and because of the weekend? :P
