I suggested this numerous times. Their IP/location/associated emails/servers/groups.

Classic also has an option in the settings to "Improve Performance" which is drastically minimizing the CPU usage.

@Celestine

What @zemaitissays makes perfect sense.

You're only accepting donations, not payments for your service. You're basically working on tips that are given willingly, and guess what, you're rewarding them in-game for that. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you own money to PayPal, they'll try to reach you through 3rd parties to get their money back, Those 3rd parties are going to contact you and you can simply ignore them. There's almost nothing they can do to you. Imagine if PayPal would be suing every suspicions account that owns them money - that's a waste of money and resources right there. If they'd care why those people are donating for your project, they'd ask more information from you, before allowing that to happen in the first place. They can lock the accounts for up to 180 days because the default refund period is 180 days from the transaction date.

You have to specify that you get rewarded in-game by donating, NOT that you have to donate in order to get something. Simple. Even though, in the worst case scenario, they can take over your domain - nothing will ever happen to you. Donations via PayPal and having a private server are 2 different things. More private servers will soon use crypto currency and players won't even be able to ask for a refund.

People are willingly donating, there's nothing ilegal about it.

You don't end up in jail by any mean even if you withdraw the money every time and you have refunds pending with no money in the account. I know people that owns PayPal money and they're trying to reach them via 3rd party for years. Do not even worry about it. If you open a server and your account needs to be verified or they limit your account for the first time - that is the time when you need to call them and explain them that it's a game founded by donations; they'll lift most of the limits/restrictions. It's very important to have the business account. When you respond to a refund ticket, try to be politically right: "Thank you for your interested and support in donating for our project As per our terms and conditions that you agreed, donations are non-refundable. You were already rewarded in-game for your kind donations with Donate Coins, which has been already used."

Is this between all maps?

I'm usually enabling the macro loop on my server after a few weeks, so the new players can catch up faster.

Exactly.

There are tools to generate the geodata from the client and they're pretty much the same like any other geodata. Manually tweaking is where the difference is between a free self-generated geodata and a premium one.

Auto-farm is not bad if disabled in PvP.

The community doesn't know what it wants. Do it and see if they follow.

Yo!

Try them both in the first place and see which one suits your needs more.

Adrenaline never fully bypassed Active Anticheat though. They could only make it work as 1 box/active window - not minimized to the taskbar. A mouse/keyboard macro could do the same job and you don't have to pay so much for each server (for each AAC "bypass"). Last time I was running my server, Active Anticheat's updates blocked it for good. No bypass at all. One thing I can say for sure: their development team is still active and they have real programmers - once you are facing an issue, they won't stop until it's solved. While Smartguard/Sguard is old shit that never updates and their goal is not to block Premium Adrenaline.

Lol

Dav :D

She barely answers to ads related emails, what about the rest. :)

Hopzone still has the same owner.

L2Gold Classic will come back after the summer.

They can only take down the .ru domains, nothing else.

Forumul.
