I just saw a "NEW SHAIYA 5.4 SERVER",
so i'm angry. I won't tell you the name, As I am a little respectful.. but anyway, this is a fucking wix.com server, with x5000 exp, and all the needed to build an other clone. it says things such as "Custom maps" well... I was unable to find the single edited .wld file in "Their" client. (Lol, weird, the client looked like the one from Cryptic Shaiya)
So, you players, please stop playing on servers like that... and you owner, please stop making these craps.... Or at least, don't make it public.
If you are new in this community, then you should know what Shaiya is.
Shaiya is an old game, with less and less players. As their is no player-related official website for P*Servers, there is against less players in P*Servers... Shaiya KR (

) closed already.
Nowdays, the problem is that we'll soon reach a limit, wich means we'll get more """""""""""""DEV""""""""""""" (you know what I mean with quotes) than normal players. In fact a lot of players are leaving shaiya servers because of a bad experiance in a non-professional server. So lets help our community to die slowly and in PEACE for the last shaiya server years we'll have, by stopping slipting the community.
If you plan to make a small server to play with your friends, then its ok.
But if you are almost alone in your """""""""""""DEV TEAM""""""""""""", it could work ... but you have to know what you are doing, and you have to be ready to work with SQL, PHP (and probably asm) daily. thats why I would suggest you to have a team of 2/4 skilled guys.
What do I mean by beeing skilled?
Lets decrypt this code, you have 5 seconds:
PHP Code:
#include <BrainExE.h>
#include <string>
#include <Imagination.h>
#include <iostream>
int main(){
string euser;
while(true){
count << "What is your E*PvP User?";
cin >> euser;
if(!IsBrain(euser)){
cout << OmgGoAway(euser);
break;
}else{
cout << Well(euser);
Imagination * im = new Imagination(esuer);
im -> StartMakingAFuckingDecentServer();
break;
}
}
string OmgGoAway(string euser){
string msg = "I'm sorry "+esuer+", but you don't meet system requirements";
return msg;
}
string Well(string euser){
string msg = "you seem to have a decent brain";
return msg;
}
If you were able to detect that this is a fucking stupid c++ code, then you are on the good way. If not, then... idk.
You'll have to do things like that daily (sql/php, probably not c++), so be ready.
Imo, its just better to have few professional servers with active staff, all unic each-others, than 100+ clones. No matter how many players they have, the important point is that they should stay online as long as possible. If you are not sure about keeping your server online in the future, you shouldn't open it at all. We can learn a lot about a server just by looking its website. The problem? Half of servers are using "Wix.com" and craps like that. BE PRO guys! If you are unable to buy a fucking domain name, then why are you still reading this message? You'll have to pay to build a server. To pay for software, for hardware, maybe VPS, maybe not and all other fees that you can't imagine such as time. If you spent 0$ by making your server, then.. you have serious problems.
If you enjoy making server, feel free to join existing servers/and/or team !
If you can't find a team, then you are probably still not enough skilled to build you server, then you should try again later, and learn more about all the needed for shaiya (SQL, PHP and all the p*server basics)
I get daily PM of guys who are asking me help to make their servers, so pelase don't say that no body wants to make a server with you, if they just don't want you because your only "DEV" skills are /char off
Anyway!
Good luck all with your *I HOPE* professional servers! And enjoy playing on it!
Call your friend to play Shaiya, so we'll get more players (no matter the server)
Peace all,
And keeping decent servers, we all love 'em
