How to publish private server

(OUTDATED POST I'VE ALLREADY FIGURED EVERYTHING OUT AND MADE MY OWN PRIVATE SERVER)


So basically I’ve seen a bunch of bdo private servers here and there and last for about 2 weeks before they’re closed down forever. So I decided to make my own private server. I have everything ready, server files all the rates, free pearls but I don’t know how to accualy make my server go live so everyone else can join. I heard that you need to pay for it and stuff but can someone explain to me how it accualy works and how to get your private server to the point where players can join it and play on it?

Run the executable and ensure ports are open. You might need a client too.

What makes you think your server is gonna survive for more than two weeks? I mean, you don't even know how to setup a server.

On the rage*zone forums there are some tutorials for what you are looking for, also some resources like updated server files etc.
