I gotta support @Devon this one. deMEV services are high quality no doubt, but most of the L2J packs have a crappy geodata engine, and there's a lot more money to spend to make the use of a well-made geodata. You buy the "perfect" geodata files for 1,5k and you still have to pay a developer to spend numerous days and hours on the engine. The costs are not justified.
I personally spent a lot of time making a good set of maps and then manually editing geodata files with minor issues where and if needed. deMEV helped me with some client files and I really appreciated that; he also gave me a better idea of how to gather the perfect maps from one client to another. if anyone asks me about geodata services, I always send them to deMEV because he was kind enough to tell me a few tricks. I did spend several hours on the geodata engine as well.
I'm not sure how and what is deMEV using to generate the geodata using the maps from the client, but there is a lot of software available for free.
In the end, people need to think about quality of service. Asking such high prices affects the community and we'll see more servers with crappy geodata. Prices should have a balance because anyone can generate geodata files, anyone can edit them and you won't always generate the same files all over again from the same game client - you'll resell those sometimes.
So yeah, prices should be lower for geodata services.
