It will be one of those two chronicles,Im leaning towards GF

Hi,Im George,22 years old.I've been playing this game since C3.Recently i developed an interest in L2 Server Development and i think this is the right place to learn and meet cool people..seems like a good community :)

Hello everyone :) I've been playing this game for quite some time(C3),but until now never had any interest in actually opening a server.Recently I have been thinking a lot about starting a project that fits my idea(and players with taste like mine) of a good server.Basically,a close to retail-style gameplay.Low or mid rates,no buffer so support classes would actually serve a purpose,no mana potions,no custom items.Im thinking about either Gracia FInal or High Five Chronicle.Now i look at things realistically,since i have no knowledge in developing a L2 server,when(if) this project starts,it will take many months,maybe year(s),to finish.I have a good vision of how i want the server to look,but i need to develop coding skills.I have a lot of questions and I hope someone with knowledge and experience in this area will answer me : -How much does it cost to support a server?Decent host,Strong DDoS protection. -How much does decent bot protection cost? -What are the usual fees skilled designers take to make a good website/forum? -How much does a relatively stable game-pack cost? Those are the most important questions,since i need to have a good idea what are the expenses of running a proper server.If i am going to do this,i will do it the right way,with good host and good protection,so players can enjoy the game without lagging,cheating or constant disconnects. Now onto the other part : Development Skills -Is it hard to code a server?When finding a bug-fixing it,etc? -Are there any online guides/tutorials,so i can learning? Can you tell me how can i start a server for myself only and begin practicing coding and developing? Thanks :)
