How to Start? 2Moons USA PServer

05/23/2008 15:26 Jaxn13#1
Hi, I am extremely interested in starting my own 2moons USA version PServer.
I can talk $$ later, right now I am just asking what it involves.

Obviously, I have to get my hands on the server files:
Questions about that: Where?
Do they patch/update as the normal game does?
If not, can I make it so they do?
This is asking, can it be made so it is the SAME game all the time, just with boosted exp/drop rate and private?

Hosting:
Do I need to pay someone to host the game?
Can I host it myself? Or would it be way to huge to do that?

Managing:
Would I act as GM? Meaning could I be able to spawn mobs or items/do GM stuff?
Would DShop items be able to be aquired?
If so, would I have to pay for them?


Basically, I am new to the whole idea, I have been doing a lot of reading up on it, but all of it seems to be for either the EU or Korean version.
Can anyone who knows how to get a 2Moons USA PServer up and running please help me!!

Thanks!

first of all

u need to ask permission from acclame to host a private server as they can easily put u in a fix cuz they got licensing rights for north america.

OR you could set up the server in some country wchiich doesnt have a dekaron official version .

running a private server means huge system reqs.unless you do that you wont have people playing in it cuz the server cap will be quite less.you can chose to act as head GM/panchayat or whatever but its tuff.it would be much better to make a 3man party(or more) and share the d-shop profits.

but first u need to get the server files and i have no idea where u can get them :D

and then if this is the case, would they sell me the files?

No u cant just ask acclaim if u can host private servers as acclaim "DID NOT MAKE THIS GAME" Acclaim bought permissions from Gamhi (Dekaron) the real publishers of the gmae. So u have to get permission from gamehi to buy the server files, cuz its copyright. GL with ur pserver and keep in mind it costs a lot and its a big deal.

Correct.

Yo have to email GameHi and ask them. They'l tell you the price but they probably wont tell you how to set it up after u buy the files. (less Pservers keeps the server files expensive) So you will need a good team unless you really think you can do it all by your self. I suppose it could be done but you'd have to be Mika from "Heroes" :p

I'll help for free if you want me too. I have much experience in coding. I've coded my own Runescape server, i've built hacks for CoD2 (by editing game files), i've helped a friend code in his own online game, ect. I'd be happy to help with a USA PSer because i've been waiting for one for a long ass time -.-
