[Discuss] Too many private servers.

[Sweeetie]

The title says it. There are already too many private server , but is **** hard to find one which one got awesome features and a serious team.. Nowadays everyone can make a **** private server , but guys , from now if you wanna create a server .. try to make it well , and just don't keep it online for 1 week only..

The funny thing is that , now too many kids learned to make that server cus of the "hackzor" who shared the psro files with us.. I'm not saying that he shouldn't do that , but he should better sell them for money .. In that case players would not get that many servers alone for fun.

I'm sayin' that cus i see to many advertising threads for nothing , also epvp staff should clean that advertising thread cus is full of "FAILURE PROJECTS" .

As i said : think twice before doing something , and be sure you'll have members to support your project or application .

Cheers,

Sweeetie.

advertising section should work like the one for releases so mods should approve threads before the public can see it It's easily the best solution.

Wrote this somewhere today already , will write once more.
Every one wants *** **** profit , server creating is easy-cash.
The part about "keeping servers longer than 1 week" , think yourself, why would you waste your money on hosting the server ,if its pure failure and no one play's + charge silk at it?

[PortalDark]

we had requested the Admins about the "Approve" idea but we have been told that that would be unnecessary, as we dispatch warning/infractions to those breaking the rules
We would like a better system like one thread per users, that would help even better than Approve system
for better references

[Sweeetie]

Nah , the "Approving system " sounds great, but one thread per user isn't helping , it's givin way much damage to the topic .. , anyway .. try to clean the advertising thread at all , and maybe from now you add only one thread with all servers . [Like that Server list] But you'll need to be way much active to add/remove inactive/active servers. So only the owners of server will be able to post the "registration to server list of elitepvpers" .. Discussing their personal problems will be chatted on their own forum. You just make a table with EXP/SP/CAP/FEATURES and download link/homepage/register/forum.

well, there is a "How to make an advert thread" thread(lol), people really doesn't care about it.
there is a serverlist(MadMod is been off for some days)
I proposed John Dread to close old Advert Threads but he said not to
im starting to think in new ways to make the section better, but ill have to discuss them first

If yo got suggestions or ideas, feel free to post them on here

[Haxor]

Like some people said here already
Every one when he browse and see server files released he go curious and say lets try open our own server and he think he will get profit of it
But then he discovers he cant continue with it
So you cant do anything with that i think.. Just go check servers and find servers that running from along time
playsro,myth is good i think

If a thread doesn't meet the or violates a given form convention -> Close/(instant deletion of the thread) + if necessary a message to the threadstarter with a deadline of 24h to change the content adequately.

A nice looking and clearly structured pattern would be quite useful to keep it more organized (for the title as well as the thread content).

Checking the population of a server, taking the average player count into the servers thread (would naturally require much maintenance, and will be faked anyway if the MOD's aren't the ones who're taking the stats) once a week - to have all the import details of a server, which potential players are interested in, at the thread.

In case a server doesn't even reach a playercount of x Players after few weeks or even a month -> Close, can be reopened after doing major updates again by consulting a MOD.



Meh..I'm starving (might be bullshit above)

Threadstarters shall provide you MODs with their server ips. Create a tool with your uber C# || PHP skills to check the population of the server every 8 hours and insert 'em into a mssql table to calculate everything you need. It may also inform you if a server doesn't match the requirements.
Lazy ***! xD



If every thread would have a title like..

[Name|Servername](Cap) » Special Features, list!
e.g.
[Blehsro|Theatre](115) » EU-only, fancy Costumes, customized areas, plenty of uniqs!

..wud make the section much clearer ^^

[Sweeetie]

The point is : all servers looks like the same! There are small differences [-1 avatar +1 avatar -1 unique +1 unique and so on(if you know what i mean)] .. i really miss that old times when 2 pservers was on top .. ECSRO & SWSRO .. they were the best pservers . there wasn't any others! And players were like : omg , so huge rate ( even if it was 20x ) .. now they are too lazy to play on 300x rate.. cus mangyang isn't givin you level 2000 .. lawl .

For people with short-mind : Before opening a **** server , check what other servers have , so you will need to think more and get something unique features that other servers doesn't have.

the structure is already defined on the thread I said
im going to ask Disco if we could implement "No good format=closed"
about the stats, even with a tool, it would take a lot, there are lots of tools for that, but most likely this option wont be done
there are at least 10 server daily, we have no time to check all of them, specially servers that are over the 3 pages old

not even those are going to do it
most of the server(80%) will come here with "90000x rates frezzzz silks here site www.nobacklink.epvp.tk"

It's **** hard to check which server is new and fresh opened , cus the other threads are full of spammers with an un-smart idea in their mind
*LE SPAMMER:*spam spam spam i get more players on my super duper fcktastick server-ugh ugh ugh
Should make a server stats page where they can add the server & discuss their problems , cus seems like for they is really hard to press "Forum" button(directlink to their forum)..

Not even that, i would be for adding "Sub-Sections" like :

~ PvP Server
~ Low Rate Server
~ Medium Rate Server
~ High Rate Server

People's wouldn't see a huge wave of advertised Server in that Section anymore.

Or sub-sections for cap's
~60
~70
~80
~ etcetera.
