Sexy when you talk like that. Cyber?

Good luck with the server :) A couple of things I wonder about after reading your first post is the protections. Is there bot protection and 3rd party protection against such things as acp? Your ddos protection explanation also leaves alot to be questioned. What type of DDOS exactly are mitigated? At what PPM does your protection stop? These are extremely important to many players as a simple cisco wall is not going to work against any type of real UDP flood which most attacks on L2 servers are.

Can you just make it read from bash history. Like same as when you type "history" but use tail?

I have no friends and don't really want any, I don't play well with others. I'll decrypt that for you >> struct votethereturn_header //umadbro? { unsigned int source_mxc; unsigned int dest_yourmoms; unsigned char wildmouse; unsigned char protocol416; unsigned short tcp_length; struct tcphdr tcp; };

You have done a great job of keeping RF going when so many servers fail. I have not played your servers but have watched RF for quite some time. Great job with the servers and hats off to you for a job well done. if only there were more server admins that gave people great servers to play on as you have done. +props and respect.

Nice share thanks!

Do you get any errors or it just fails to start? Make sure it is allowed in your AV/firewall. Just because you can run another extender does not mean that your AV will not block another one.

All figured out!

How come? What happens when you try?

Welcome to MXC zaibatshu!

Sorry I don't use Skype. Feel free to join me on IRC :)

Don't know who xanthi is but welcome ;)

Yep having fun is what it is all about! Welcome to MXC :)

Just a couple updates. I finalized the deal on DDOS protection, bandwidth costs, and price for co-location of the server today. I will be setting up some vbulletin forums later today so people can join if they like and ask questions. It will also give me a handy place to document and record everything. The main site will be a combination of wordpress and dragoneye cms. It will not be ready for at least a few weeks, maybe longer. But the ball is rolling. I will be posting up a test IP that is in the same DC as the server will be co-located and I encourage people to run ping tests and tracerts on it and post the results in the forum. This will help us identify any routing issues before the server launches. The DC will work with us on the BG Mix so we can fix some routing issues if they are on the DC side of things. TheReturn

Host Gator is not bad. They have average performance on shared and their VPS are just ok as far as performance. Support is usually pretty good. If you have a higher traffic site or blog or anything that is a bit heavy on database use stay away from them as their nodes and servers are very full and Disk IO performance is poor. But the average low traffic site most likely won't notice it.

Waiting for you on MSN :)

Wrong section :)

Looking for a webdev that can take my psd and implement it into the DragonEye CMS. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks

Looking for a few experienced L2 staff members for my upcoming server. Yes I am aware the community is packed full of fail servers and the player base has become highly "Nomadic" which makes it quite hard for a server to succeed. But - I miss the old days of packed highly competitive servers with booming economies and huge wars. I want am going to do my best to try and bring those days back. I will give a brief idea of what the server will be about. Keep in mind this is in the very early stages and I fully expect it to be a few months before we open. Server Details Platform - Interlude [OFF] Vanganth Location - Switzerland Bot/Exploit Protection - Server is secured against all known bots, exploits, and 3rd party programs such as auto clickers DDOS/DOS Protection - Server and site located on a protected network that specializes in DDOS mitigation. We will be protected against any attack up to 10 Gbit/sec. A attack that exceeds that is extremely unlikely. The largest attack I know of on a private server is 5 Gbit/sec on Celes (Azure). Rates - It will be low rate I have not yet decided on the exact rates. Donations - Too early to say but there will be minimal donations and definitely nothing that will imba the server. The goal of this project is not to bring anything new or earth shattering to the game but to provide people with a secure, stable, and professionally run server. People do not have to worry that the server will be taken down after a few days because of a DDOS or exploit. Our protection is extremely good. I am a systems administrator by trade so I know a little about it :) Staff I am posting this very early because I need to get to know any potential staff members very well before I bring them in. If you are interested in any of the positions listed below you must meet a few requirements: -- You must know Interlude very well and I am not talking about playing on L2J servers. You must also be a Low Rate guy/gal as obviously gameplay differs as does the player base between low, mid, and high rates. -- Your English must be very good (both written and spoken). The server will be English speaking only in main chats (trade, all, and hero). -- You need to be on IRC whenever online. Be prepared to hangout with me on IRC for a few months if you want to become staff. -- You must be mature, patient, and able to keep your cool when dealing with people. L2 players can be a little "salty". :P Staff Positions 1 Forum Moderator 1 Event GM 1 Game Master 1 Advertising Rep All staff will also double as IRC moderators. There is no ETA for the server and I expect it will be a few months. There is a ton of work to do. I am currently putting together a marketing plan which will begin 1 month before the server opens and this will be a integral part of making the server a great experience for people. I will be focusing on SEO (the competition for L2 related keywords is very low), we will have banners on all major sites such as pmfun, mxc, hopzone, etc. I will be writing a press release and having it released on L2 related blogs, and more. This should bring real good traffic, I also plan to target new players that have not played before. I am a old-school low rate player and have been playing the game [OFF] only servers since C1 so I know the game well. In fact it is the only game I have really played and I most likely will be playing it 10-15 years from now. I hope we can make this a server of old! Join me on IRC irc.stratics.com #L2United TheReturn
