Second, I'm not writing this out of pride, I'm writing it out of pure need to say the truth.

Third, I will not mention any exp rates nor Exohas' classic server.

You have to at least give the Justac admin credit for blocking off the cast cheat and a lot of other cheats, even though he screwed up massively by trying to prevent any 'to-be' cheats.

His solution of preventing 'to-be' cheats was adding by adding "GameGuard" and "Themida".

For those that do not know, "GameGuard" is something you use when you're either trying to buy time, have given up in protecting your product or you're very lazy.

Gameguard among other things has a kernel-mode driver (which you never agreed to install lol) installed in your system that can cause major issues with your system and can occasionally cause BSODs and other known problems such as crashing other programs running in your system on the game's startup, disabling functionality of others and such.

For a game such as this, where people are playing it with very low-end pcs and cant manage to run a single other program while archlord is running, mean their entire experience has been either ruined or they can't even enter the game.

If this wasn't enough, "GameGuard", in the latest patch, actually got protection added with "Themida". Lol.

What this did was increase the loading time of the game MASSIVELY, and in some cases "GameGuard" crashes because one of its modules failed loading up due to the silly packer.

So not only did the admin actually slow down people's load times even more, he actually prevented some people from entering the game.

Themida being on AlefClient and the patcher was not too bad, It was useless and in some cases caused more issues with people unable to enter the game, but it was not as bad as gameguard and themida trying to shake hands and work together.

Which is again completely normal considering its Themida's packer, which among packing does other things that can cause an AV to question it.

I'm aware most of you dislike what I and others do/did, but you should be blaming your admin here. Nobody here forced him to do all of this, we could have dealt with it in a much cleaner way.

Dealing with macros in general was very stupid and uncalled for, you could have just dealt with the client edit and called it a day.

There is plenty of other games where cheats run rampant, however the people that own the game aren't publicly admitting that they have a fault and shouting out the people that are using and/or made it, what the hell?

If he really cared about his server, he wouldn't have made such bad decisions.

Of course there will always be people trying to shred you apart, It's just the way the world is, but again, he dealt with erroneously.

This is the last post I'll be personally making about this matter as It's been 8 months and I've had enough about people complaining about it.

Go talk to your admin about it, and put some sense into his mind if you really want to play his beloved server, he clearly has no idea what he is doing.

I don't know how do you know that much about AL client, and i can't be sure if you're saying truth, but it seems like you don't have any point to lying. Also it's nothing new, that admin doesn't know what he's doing, i don't know who is he listening, but that guy(s) -who is/are telling JAC admin what to do- must be on methamphetamine or something. xD

But to the latest sentences. I have to disagree. You know, me know, we know that admin didn't listen to players, he has volunteers, but he didn't listen even them, even if volunteers where asking other players about changes which we(players) want to see in game soon. I don't remember nicks of those people but if someone can remind me, then i would be grateful at all.

Gms not listening to Vols is nothing new though. I was a V on webzen, trying to communicate with the Gms there was like solving a rubik's cube.

So there are more than 100 players who wants to play AL here that doesn't have a decent private server they can play on ?

triple that .

[MySQL?]

Then why dont ask to Osiy to open a donation form,like Ace have done in the past with his tools,when he reach a good amount of money he release the consoles he made so everyone can try to make a good stable server and everyone can have fun with that,since seems to be very far the day when we can finally play Archlord again,why just dont give to everyone the possibility to make a server and work on it?

[marocco56]

lol many servers + low population = all servers die cz population is separated amongst too many servers.

With low population we need 1 only good server.

Would like that. It's the number that makes the move and the strenght.

The problem is that I tried many times to make the community move on a completely new server creation a bit like Osiy (a bit different still), but was open to everyone. And it didn't work, due to lack of knowledge in that area of development.

Osiy spent too much time on it alone, he need to be paid on that project and accept others people to help him out. Some others projects like lineage2 server or others game servers took more than a decade and 100+ peoples on their dedicated forums and git.

He is still highly skilled, when I talked to him it was a real thirst of knowledge that motivated me. Even though my contribution was low.

Even if a lot of people tries to open 100 servers for example. The only ones who will survive are the ones that has the most competent peoples to manage it. So ... there will be only 1 or 2.

Because Justac is so broken, t's not even funny. The worst part is its management is fine with it, which kinda begs the question why people don't like it, which isn't really a question to begind with.

[Voldonx]

And why is justac broken? Does everyone playing there think so or is it a minority and is the server still pretty active? I ask because if this project isn't going anywhere, I might go there. Made toon to look around and all towns seem to be crowded.

I'd prefer to stay on Classic really, but people are too puss puss to play there and I'm sick of having an hour of fun a week.

Same here

[osiy1996]

Hello guys. Sorry for being unresponsive and not delivering a server at promised date. Trying to run a server and trying to fix issues at the same time is just too much to handle for me. I'll keep working on the project and stream the progress every once in a while. Once everything is complete I'll open a real server where people can enjoy the game instead of fighting through bugs.
