becus, its simple, having files doesnt make a server.
this guy, like the one b4 him, doesnt have what it takes to run a server, you can have all the files in the world, but if you cant run a server right, it will always fail, most servers die simple becus they let their friends on and give them all kinds of stuff, GM characters, DEV characters, hook them up with w/e they want, and then those ppl do the same to players to show off that they can get anything they want, so they go throwing everyone everything, healing them in PVP's, helping them PK, etc etc, which in turn ****** the majority of the player base off and they leave, and all ur left with is a few stupid ppl who already have everything, and since there arent any other ppl playing, those stupid ppl leave as well, leaving you with just you and a few ***-kissers hoping to be the next few ppl who get hooked up, and on and on and on . . .
in order to run a good server properly you have to be a good admin, take no sides, hook no one up, have no friends that play ur server, and keep a short leash on ur staff as well, without a good non-bias admin(s) and an excellent staff, the server is going to always fail, and so far just a buncha kids run these things, and it always turns out the same, people always think 'oh, i got the files, hell to the yeah, im gonna rock this ****, no one can compete' but thats where they fail, just cus u got some files, doesnt make u a good admin, doesnt make ur DK buddies a great staff, and doesnt get you players who are loyal to your server
biggest thing is to put the players first and foremost, 99% of the ppl that run servers cant do that, they put everythign else first, and the players always come last, thing about that is the players dont give a **** if you have the newest ****, they care about whether they matter on the server, and if the staff is capable of eventually getting the new stuff in the game, beyond that the players could care ******* less if you think u are a *** cus u got a few files, they know ur just a a box of bullshit with files
dont under-estimate the players, they are the ppl that will be on ur server everyday, and they can smell bullshit from a mile away.
