If  your planning on just making a for fun server with a few hundred people on it I wouldn't worry too much about DDOS, If someone seriously DDOS your server what can you do? Just don't piss off the wrong people.... keep your server donation free as much as possible and keep costs down, keep your head low and thats it.

 

I was thinking of running a small for fun server for a few hundred people, you know setting up a nice simple PvP server with easy farming where people can just log in and pvp without the BS that most servers make people do.... its just a pain in the ass and you need a lot of people to help you out otherwise the server will never get out there and you will just endup wasting time / money.

 

Start off with L2j (they are actually pretty good nowadays ) to keep costs low... then when you feel your ready move on to L2 - Off... L2 - Off is going to be a little picky with the hardware also.

 

I have setup small servers for friends (l2 - off / L2j) , most of the leaked L2 - Off server files are crap (last I checked ) and the private stuff (the stuff that actually is playable with 2k+ people ) is usually priced out of range for most people looking to host anything.

 

Very hard to run a server without constant donations etc... unless you can afford a few thousand dollars a year on hosting.

 

I would say 70% of the servers on L2 - top 200 are hosted on low quality/cheap servers/ at home.

    • You think you have good “l2j” files until you try running a low-rate server.   Saying “there’s not a single L2 server out there worth mentioning” just shows you probably only know the first 10 servers on voting sites, the same voting sites that owned by them. You call the forum dead, yet you’re here discussing your next projects… From my perspective, you don’t seem ready to run any L2 server in 2025. Around 70% of players are here for RMT or ask for payment just to bring their clan, and you really think the community cares about Premium or donations or files quality? The other 20% spend their time downloading and deleting servers all day, playing for one day, then quitting for whatever random reason. And finally, the last 10% are the only ones who actually play because they genuinely like your features, your server files, and your overall project. Good luck 🙂
    • I genuinely admire your bravery - in an age where AI can whip up something better in under a minute, you still stubbornly try to sell these "projects" of yours on a forum that’s been clinically dead for years. That’s no longer determination, that’s digital archaeology. I just can’t tell whether you’re actually trying to make money, or simply testing how much we can endure before we ask an AI to generate you some actual talent.   And ofc AI will make it for free, $220 saved.
    • I’m glad I’m not the only one who appreciates Maxthor’s involvement in group gay orgies, he can’t be bothered to reply to messages, but covering the entire forum in gay lights is absolutely no issue for him. As for the project - the forum is packed with feedback from the testers, the lads are spending every spare moment fixing even the tiniest typo in an NPC’s text. I’ll share the links as soon as I get the green light. Edit: I forgot to add that the GM recruitment will begin once the links are released. Three people will be accepted, and they’ll work in a three-shift rotation so that there’s always a GM available online.
    • Added: a brand-new default dashboard template. You can now add multiple game/login server builds. Full support for running both PTS & L2J servers simultaneously, with switching between them. Payment systems: added OmegaPay and Pally (new PayPal-style API). Account history now stores everything: donations, items delivered to characters, referrals, transfers between game accounts, and coin transfers to another master account. Personal Promo Code System: you can create a promo code and assign it to a user or promoter. When donating, a player can enter this promo code to receive bonus coins, and the promo code owner also receives a bonus — all fully configurable in the admin panel.     Look demo site: demo
