15 Questions to ask yourself before opening a new EO server.
As lately I have seen an influx of new servers all look pretty much the same
and closing down soon after opening. All this does is make you look bad and
ends up being a waste of time and effort for the people who actually played your
server.
Why not ask yourself these simple questions, if you answer no to any of them then
maybe you need to stay a EO player rather than an owner. Or actually read up on
them before you open your server.
1:Can you set up the register page?
2:Can you make your server non hamachi?
3: Do you know how to do a maintenance? ( frequently asked question ) answered here.
4: Can you devote 16+ hours a day on your OWN server? this means being ONLINE active and answering questions
5: Do you know how to hex edit? or at least follow the guide for Funhackers editor?
6: Do you know or are you able to follow instructions enough to add a new pet/casual etc?
7: Can you change a previously released database/client enough to be able to call it your own work?
8: Have you made yourself familiar with the database tables and have a good idea or know what each one does?
9: Can you refrain from spamming other servers and their forums for players?
10: Can you refrain from stealing other peoples work and claiming it as your own?
11: Do you know how to make yourself /staff PM's and GM's? ( believe it or not I have seen this on a few occasions )
12: Can you be fair to ALL players on your server " not just the donator's " ( as we have all seen what happens to those servers that don't )
13: Are you just in this for a quick buck? " answer yourself honestly " ?
14: Can you READ these forums rules before posting ANYTHING found here
15: This is my all time fav Question ( Do you know how to use the SEARCH function of Elite pvpers? )
