New Updates

- Multi server on any L2jsource without any configuration

- Vote System for  Hopezone, L2 Votes, L2 Brazil, L2Top.org, L2 RankZone, and L2Top.co

- 2FA (Two factor authenticator)

- Must Verify account

- Support for Docker. For those who know how to use Docker theres the option with one command to deploy it without any additional setup on the server. Also, there's  the ability to build it in full binary and serve it from anywhere. Im using https://frankenphp.dev

I’m a web developer, and I work with technologies like Next.js and React. In the last 10 years, L2 Rankzone is the only one I’ve seen that actually did something different. All the others seem to have the same source code with different templates. L2 Hopzone also did an upgrade and, for the front end, is using Vue.js.

Regarding web development, we have reached a point where you can easily create websites using libraries or frameworks. Simply pick one and start working. You will learn as you go.

Personally, I prefer to build my back-end APIs in Laravel if it’s a big project since the ecosystem offers everything. For smaller projects, I choose Go. Then I use either React or Next.js to call my APIs, depending on the case. Next.js also supports Server-Side Rendering (SSR) if you want to hide some things from the client.

Additionally, CSS libraries have almost everything you need nowadays to start building quickly with browser compatibility. You can seriously build an L2 website with ranks, a good design, and even a simple login/register system in just 3 days.

Here are some CSS libraries I personally work with:

https://ui.shadcn.com/

https://mui.com/material-ui/

Regarding the top websites i dont thing its worth the time and effort.  Its pretty simple to build one and the market is already bloated. In addition l2 is dying so i suggest to build top sites for many games.  THe main problem is not the build process rather the marketing one. You can build the most awesome website iin terms of functionality but if you marketing is week you wont exceed 10 concurrent users. 

Pretty good stuff. Im happy to see people using new tech to build web stuff. is this electron js ?

It's simple, don't get involved in those RU projects. Unfortunately, this game has taken a turn for the worse, both on private servers and official platforms. It's been completely ruined and left in ruins. Investing your resources in another game would be a far better use of your time and money. Posting about it won't achieve anything. it's just a waste of your time. If you're feeling nostalgic, play for a bit and then move on. The gaming scene surrounding this game is a mess, with money laundering fiascos on vote sites, servers, and among players. Im pretty sure the same people that selling these accounts you buy are the same they run the servers.  In addition, the players and the community surrounding this game are some of the worst people you'll ever encounter. There are paid clans, paid CPS, paid VIPs - it's a mess. Not to mention the smaller projects that worth your time which attacked relentlessly with DDOS attacks, only to be left with no players because they don't pay people to play. Simply move on with your life and learn from your mistakes. 

I'm simply sharing my experience as a former client of your service, with no bad intentions. I had significant problems with the geodata, which led to numerous issues with an autofarm feature I had purchased from a third-party developer. Due to the locked parts, finding a potential fix for these issues was not feasible. Currently, I have no idea  the state of l2jsunrise as a project. 

Just go with l2jmobius paid version. They have plenty of customs + full source code allowing you to easily hire a developer for any additional features you might need. In addition , daily fixes and updates. Price - Value ratio is totally worth it. 
L2jsunrise avoid it at all costs. As a former client i  had many issues,  they advertise that they provide full source code but part of it is locked. In addition, The basic package includes only fundamental features, and adding extras incurs additional costs. Moreover, even the features you purchase remain locked. In the end, you could end up spending between 300 to 500 euros and switching to another source with your player base will be pain in the ass. 

Black Friday Deal 

Till the end of November price will drop to 100 euro.

This post is like you're asking for 20k euros and one free trip to Bahamas.

Be careful because in the next 12 hours at least 4 people will comment to add them to discord in order to offer your the pack of your dreams which is going to be some shared shit your too bored to search for. 

The same topic comes up time and time again. The "end" of L2 isn't due to the server administrators or the type of servers they create. It's largely because as adults, we struggle to find the time for economic and social stability. The reason I don't play L2 isn't that the servers are shit. On the contrary, many of them introduce fresh content in both PvE and PvP, bringing innovative ideas to a game that's 20 years old. The real barrier is lack of  time our life demands. I can't commit 6-7 hours daily just to make consistent  progress to keep up with the meta and not  to find myself lagging behind a week.

This isn't only on l2 but with the  general idea of mmo. In the past five years, I've bought games like New World, Diablo 4, WoW, and Final Fantasy 14. But often, I find myself leveling up at my own  pace and mostly solo since my friends and I have different schedules. So, what do I end up doing when I feel like gaming? I typically boot up a MOBA or FPS, play for a couple of hours on Discord with whoever is available to play, then shut down my PC and call it a day. 

Additionally, to stay on topic, I believe we're currently in an era where there are several stable projects for players to enjoy. Examples include Reborn, Classic Club, Talking Island, and Gold, just to name a few. As for the Aqua project, I've observed its launch and closure occur at a similar pace as those scam servers you've mentioned. 

Seriously, who suggests Contabo for production servers? For a staging server, they are fine. But the numbers they claim are totally fake. €31 for 60GB RAM and 10 vCPUs? I have tried Contabo in the past before going to production with 8GB RAM and 4 vCPUs, and the loading times were a joke in terms of the runnable programs and hardware ratio. Then we went for an OVH staging server with 2 vCores and 4GB RAM, and it was blazingly fast compared to Contabo.

So i will answear some of those and i might cover some of your topics since i have some free time to spare. 

-Only 1 kind of protection? For example, a protection like SmartGuard covers everything?

1. SmartGuard, AAC, and similar BOT protection systems aredesigned to detect and prevent the use of third-party bot software by players. They are not  server protections against malicious attacks on your server. These systems work by monitoring and collecting data to identify and block bot programs used by players. Their main purpose is to prevent players from farming 24h/7 and destryoing the server's gameplay and economy. No other protection rather than that. 

-I need to add protections, adverts, topsites and so on.

-Where can I find good protection?
2. When it comes to protecting your server against various attacks, such as DDoS attacks and SQL injections, it's important for server administrator (YOU )  to acquire knowledge and implement  security measures. These measures may include setting up firewalls, implementing detection systems, regularly updating server software, and following secure coding practices for any websites or applications connected to your server's database. While some VPS or server providers may offer built-in firewall solutions, but are not enough. 

3. You can run your l2j emulator to any rented vps or bare metal server outhere.  I dont recomend to go big and rent a big ass server with 32gb of ram and 32 core cpu since you will waste your money. Personally i  prefer to go with cloud services since are  pretty cheap and scalable if you need more without having to re install everything from the start.  Some of those are hetzer , OVH and Linode (linode not offer windows server option).  A vps with 8gb of ram and 4 vcpu is enough to run a good amount of players. Ofc there are other things you need to considered once you go bigger and bigger or what functions your l2j emulator  has. For example if you want to run phantom bot engine  with 1000 fake players you might need   more resources. 

To conclude, before considering opening your project, set clear goals for the project. If you intend to scale it up, read up as much as you can. Otherwise, go ahead and open it, and solutions will occur as you encounter problems.

Some  self-explanatory guides can be found here:

Follow these series, and they will cover many of your questions. Additionally, if you don't understand some concepts, try Googling them.

If you describe  the uknown field maybe we can help you. otherwise it seems like a generic post. No hard feelings.

+ with such machine you can run a server for about 500 players with a medium european internet speed from home

 

when you hear today somebody giving 100euro for dedicated server per month in 2023 is the equivalent example of buying an RTX 4090 TI to play tetris and pacman.

 

offtopic

if you care for donations in your server checkout denart-designs, there are alot of scammers out there who sell substitudes of those panels

I dont think he asks to host server rather to play lineage 2 with maximum graphics 

You can add me in discord so we can discuss further. Thank you

Around 3k of my posts are done in MxC dev help section, fixing code and helping newbies. I'm probably in the top 3 biggest contributors in those sections, since ~2011 (without counting my pack and my work in general which you can find in other packs, btw). I continue to read dev help section on a weekly base, unfortunately there isn't any interesting posts to reply or they are locked down too fast - even if I had interesting things to write about it, it happened twice already).

 

 

Wow, I did not expect such an answer. But please don't be triggered as I was not referring to you personally but to the community built around l2j in general. From time to time, I follow your Discord and find many members to be a little bit cheesy. In other Discord communities, this is not the case, and I am not just referring to l2j. I am talking about other framework or coding communities where even the simplest questions are answered humbly, as if the person answering were talking to a four-year-old. I know that many people like it fast without any effort , but even a single keyword can help someone to find what they are looking for. 

Anyone is free to sell whatever they like. its an open market. I agree with some stuff but dont forget that many l2j developers dont share the knowledge for people to grow. You ll say go learn java or search some old 2008 guide how to implement stuff.  The last 5 years all i see is shared stuff without any context or help from the authors. Simply take this complex feature,  its a code for doing that. Good luck.

Even if you know java you ll need to invest a great amount of time  to undestand all that code written over the years which many of you here doing it since 2008 ? 

-l2jserver forums --- dead 

-maxcheaters --- milking market playgound 

-RU forums -- no idea 

-Acis , Mobius -- buy premium we are not talking to peasants. 

A good idea is not only to train the customers what to buy but also motivate them to learn. maybe some documentation with the classes ? Who will do that right ? 

EDIT: I also saw nevemore like the author post. dont you have l2jsunrise with locked jars for most part of your project?  I remember hiring a developer to fix some stuff for an autofarm i ordered back in 2018 because players were standing in walls after a while  and all geodata code was locked. Solution----> drop the source

Just buy a vps and connect to it  either via ssh if its linux distro or via rdp if its windows server.

anyways on topic i do still care to make a payment friendly panels because in future i might come with an acp i am building and vote/referral/donation might come as plugins, right now i am building the recipe.

I have no idea what devstack you prefer to use  but your backend work seems pretty interesting. Regarding the design though no offense but needs improvement. Since we are talking more about commerciality why dont you try new techs like laravel in relation with inertia.js and some js frontend library. With your knowledge in php  and powerful ui design(tailwind css, MUI) you can achieve pretty interesting results.

making me explain this is kinda stupid i said its statistics so this is not just 1 person who makes this kind of money and not everybody is using denart designs panels, only customer and free users of this panel alone statistics shows this numbers (vats not included these are raw payment values) so you cant imagine how much more money is on the play on other servers too.

as i clearly said this is only previous month from v4 latest panel and this panel has come out early this year only, my panels are exist since 2016 and some are used in gta fivem servers too.

 

this panel helped alot of admins to make this kind of money and i am trying to make it more price friendly.

 

I thought the same regarding this to create an app  with tenancies and the ability to apply their own domains etc.  Then i thought similar exists (dont mention maintenance costs and personal time invest) , look at mmo web which is pretty expensive if you decide to iclude all their models. I hope to see something new to the market soon. good luck
