Have you got $5k? And the money to pay a server admin's wages as well as the money to cover the costs of running a server? Because you will need the money to pay for these things first b4 your server will even start making money.

Lets be honest... Would you realy invest that much money into running a Pserver? It's not as easy as you think running a sucessfull server. You have to constantly monitor, maintain the server to keep current players happy as well as get new players.

Not only that theres allways bugs that need fixing which involve investigating then applying a solution which can be time consuming.
You have to add new things/features to your server to keep it interesting for players to want to stay (Like new avatars, weaps, armors ect)
This also apply to keeping the competition up with the other pservers. Players look for the best pserver obviously n that involves things like:

#No lag
#no/not alot of bugs
#good community (friendly ppl who speak same language, n not full of ppl scamming, exploiting bugs)
# good friendly staff (Assistants, Gms ect... So u guna have to recruit some staff n its likley they want paying but maybe ur lucky n they accept silk)

i could go on, theres alot to running a "Sucessfull" Pserver n prob will be like a full time job.

So you wana invest 5k into these files? or invest it into somthing like a car, house, business or set one up in the line of work you like doing or just STFU and stop talkin crap...

not even a idiot will sell them for 5k $ thats the problem :D

maintaining a sever is no big deal.
lol. set up a normal database backup schedule and you're done!
keeping players happy? why? have you seen the servers?? ALL of them are crowded 24/7. there's no need to. even MySro is still crowded as hell, even if they have that old 70 cap :D
there are more then enough players for silkroad. no need to make the server attractive!

besides that sro is hack-safe.people cannot cheat. only bot. and you can get enough ass-crawlers like ****** who take care about everything.
or have you seen ocean doing something at the ecsro/ZSZC community? no? why not? because there are enough dumbfutzz who do the dirty job for him. even for free.


get the files
rent a server (monthly payment. / pricing is about 40 euros monthly)
make a demo video
tell some people that you're looking for a homepage,silkseller,supporter etc
run the server and let them do the dirty work.
in case there's a lawsuit, you wont have problems.only the silksellers.(on the ecsro case, there was only the goldsold.pl owner who got sued)

mantaining the server isnt hard, but there are people out there, that what to set up a server, and will spam this server like hell, asking how, even if there is a guide for it, many will come asking
"I want to make a server, where can i download files?"
"I cannt open server.cfg, which program uses to read that file"
or even"is it possible to hire a dedicated server for free"

i guess youve got experience? I said its not that easy and if you read the rest i meant because theres alot of work involved.
Unless your happy just opening a server with bugs n shit then fine i guess... :cool:
just setting up a scheduled database backup is not maintaining a server... it's part of it though.
LOL when has any player ever been happy? theyre all whining bitches... Anyway by keeping players happy i mean, dnt let them get bored. adding stuff will do this, fixing bugs and keeping server lagg free ect.
Im sorry, Mysro is shite... its a 1000 capped server... you think its hard to see that get crowded? and no it isnt crowded, fyi it gets populated...
so prob has 700-800 players ish at peak times. SjSro is just as bad, thats a 1000capped server too and laggs harder than Mysro but is slightly more popular than Mysro, prob because its slightly more updated than Mysro...
see where im going with this?
Now look at ZSZC, its Alot more updated in terms of skills, lvl cap gear avatar ect, a 2000 cap server and its crowded as hell in both servers, so thats 4000 players which pisses on 800ish players.
SWSRO is similar too in terms of how updated it is in skills lvl cap ect and is also has a 2000 player cap and gets crowded on sw1 populated on2.

ZSZC & SWSRO both are pritty good in terms of lagg, i can say i dnt get any at all but some ppl say they experience slightly lagg at times, prob at peak times wen busy.

So keeping players happy does actually affect your server and therfore will affect your income.
kepping the server attractive does actually work. Thats why when ppl see ZSZC or SWSRO getting them so called updates they have a orgasm n have to post it.

I never said sro is hackable, but your wrong again nothing is "Hacksafe" you ever heard of the dupe exploit using WPE?
Ocean must of done some work, im sure Ecsro didnt recruit GM's n assistants all by its self.

Can you link me a site where you can rent a server capable of hosting a sro server for 40 euro a month? Thats got me realy interested!
unless u want a failsro like Mysro/SJsro with a 1000 cap and laggs like hell lol...

how are you able to make a profit if you recruit silk sellers? obviously you will see some of that money in someway. Theres your lawsuit. Anyone that profits from selling silk can have thier ass hanging in a lawsuit...
The Ecsro team didnt get caught because they didnt see any of the profits.
U telling me u would open a server and not see any money comming your way?
Well i think theres a problem in your plan right there buddy. it wont work.

Yea, but by maintaining i meant keeping the server upto date with new stuff, skills, gear ect.
Also fixing bugs and possible exploits. That isnt a breeze.
But i know what you mean. "leechers" just wana come and take somthing, dnt give a fck where it come from. use it or try to, obivously cant because they are dumb fcking leechers and just scroll down to the download link instead of reading the guide b4 it or just reading through the sro section to learn.
So they waste forum bandwith and spam it with usless annoying threads without even trying the search function or google.

remember folks: the files are from 2005. so don't come with "we need 16gb of ram to run the server" that's totally bull ;)

you just get someone who is willing to earn 5-1ß% of the sold stuff. then you tell him to send you the money via western-union. there's no big proof that you actually got the money from selling silk stuff. there are a lot of ways to get around and keep you invisible.
ok, you rent the server.. but who cares? you just take a flat for a week, let them send the whole contract stuff to that flat, and then you move out. anonymous :)

regarding the "ecsro-team". they didn't get caught. because all data (ecsro.net registrant) was changed to some kind of chink name. from the informations i got, "*******" also known as p-master or sweety or asscrawler DID get few amounts of money for managing the whole community.
why didn't ocean get sued? because he was never IN the scene. he had his dumb silkseller ;)


btw. i like ya ;)
you're giving pretty decent answers.I like that :)

This isn't going to be enough to load half of the exes believe me :)
Yes it the files might be from 2005 but I doubt that they weren't running each of the exes on a different server. The files do require a lot of memory, and as you can see even the jsro files that are missing most of the stuff that has to be loaded use quite a lot of memory and cpu :)

so..when ecsro opened, they had more then 4 ggis of ram? were there any dedicated servers which had more then 4 gig of ram? :D
I'm not sure about the real consumption of the files. Nobody knows except the people who really own them.
but i didn't have any problems loading those leaked files with an amount of 2 gigs ;)

Nice, i was lookin for while and couldn't find a dedicated server as cheap as that lol. But i dont think its got the processing power to load n run the files, also i would imagine it would need atleast another 2gb to host the server, dnt forget when players join, that can take a chunk too. i still think you will be lookin at atleast 80 -120 euros for somthing capable of running a smooth pserver.

Well atleast you know more shizzle and r more uptodate on stuff than half the dumb thread starters. :D
But the ecsro team didnt profit anything from what i can remeber :confused:
There was only goldsold.pl which was ocean's little silk seller, he just got ecsro team to check orders n deliver them :p

lol, even if you had to pay 200-400$ a month for the host, you'd alwyas get any profit, there are lots and lots of dumb asses buying silks/gold/avatars per day, i'd say that ZsZc makes around 3k$ every month, or even more, they have money for their lifes, for the server and to buy their kids a new game station or a bike every day.

There's no need to talk about the profit from these servers. If they are doing it then it's worth it :)

well, some used toilet paper, i think that would be fair
dont get me wrong, im not talking about just the server files, this price includes hiring the whole zszc team too

yeah, right; like we need to hire a team to maintain the server
that way, i wont have files, just is a donation
better start coding an emu, then say, that anyone that wants it, will have to hire me

just asking i know someone who knows someone who knows someone no i really know someone who has the files but idk what he wants for them if its even legal for him to sell them or not so if you want his email Priv message me thanks
