Hello people.

 

I am doing something like marketing research.

I am experienced web developer and designer and I am wondering if people would buy my L2JCMS* (which is not coded yet, just want to see what people are thinking about the idea).

* The name will be different. I heard there is a CMS called like that.

 

The CMS will have many options and I will make the admin panel super user friendly (something like Wordpress if you have used it).

 

You will be able to:

- add new pages

- new links to the menu(s)

- show server statistics

- upload server patches for downloading

- upload players screenshots into a gallery

- append YouTube videos

- change website templates (themes)

- it may have nWatch integrated in order to show more live info from the server

- you will be able to include php files in certain places in the website, just in case you need it

- the website login can be attached to server login or can be separate login

- server registration can be done through the CMS if your server doesn't use autocreation

 

and more things which I have to think for.

 

The CMS will be plugin based and the main functionality will be just the mandatory one. Extra functionality will be done with plugins.

 

What I want from you?

* Suggest more things to add / remove

* Suggest a price for this CMS

* Tell me if it sounds good enough for you to buy it (I'm not asking you to tell me if you will buy it, just if you think it's good enough for you)

 

A note about the price. Please don't suggest prices like 30-60 euro. I am working as web developer since 2006 and I value my work. I work with real prices.

Price must be in rage of 60e because it is CMS and you want to sell many copies of it and have license for 1 domain only!

 

If you want to make CMS look at StressWeb cheap to buy but only 1 license for 1 domain and you can not transfer licence!

I got the idea, but don't tell me there aren't gonna be people sending the CMS all over the place. Few people will buy it and then what can I do to protect my rights?

 

Also don't forget coding such a complicated CMS is not an easy task.

It will take a month or even more (if I don't have a lot of free time).

 

I had two servers and I made the websites for them. These two websites are like the CMS I am talking about, but I will have to start from 0, because I have ideas to improve it.

 

PS: Please answer to the questions I've asked.

License only for 1 domain :) This is how you can protect it!

You can also add some protection like StressWeb where you can see who is using your software and on what domain!

 

I still think for good CMS price can not be high!

You want many ppl to buy at and can also sell Templates/Custom Mods to earn more money with it!

 

Most CMS make money from mods and templates!

 

Like in gaming industry companies like Sony when they sell gaming console they dont really make money,they make money when selling games for console :)

If you want to make decent money make it for OFF files not L2J as the serious servers that are willing to spend a bit of money usually run OFF.

This is a good logic.

To bad I didn't have any touch to L2OFF, but I'm sure it's not that different. I have to use different type of database (MSSQL), but this is not a problem either.

 

So far I don't see any point to code the CMS since nobody likes the idea.

No point to waste that much time in a product which is not gonna sell and pay back.

Posted

now think how many ppl use L2OFF and how many use L2J

if you can spend money you will never buy CMS but will order custom website for yourself with all scripts included!

    • Hello guys, I’m Morientes, owner of the servers you might know: L2Lionna / L2Pandora / L2Ramona / L2ERA / L2Zaken / L2Classic / L2Peri / L2Alice / L2EVA / L2Dragon and more. Over the years I’ve been developing Lineage II projects starting from High Five, then Classic, and later Essence. I started with High Five, which I turned into a very well-tested server with over 100 openings. My peak was around 2800 players online, and the server was stable (no crashes). With every opening there was always something to improve, fix, or optimize, and over time it became more and more stable. I still have all SVN commits from all those years, I can show everything via screen share if needed. The reason I’m selling is not because of the quality. The files are solid and ready to run any type of server (any rates). The problem was on our side;  we didn’t have a good long-term strategy for reopening servers as a team. About Classic: I started from 2.0 (Zaken version) and gradually upgraded it up to 4.7 Kamael. Each chronicle upgrade came with a lot of improvements, especially in terms of stability. About Essence: I started from the very first version and developed it up to High Elf (Protocol 464). Starting from Protocol 286 (Secrets of Empire), I worked with PTS files and extracted a lot of deep fixes. I unpacked AI.obj with full functionality, used official sniffers, and whenever something wasn’t clear, I checked directly on official servers and sniffed packets or data. For every chronicle update, I basically sniffed the entire official server, zones, monsters, events, mechanics, everything. From Chronicle 388, Reborn approached us to buy our files. The current L2Reborn Essence is based on my work! I can prove everything. I also have their updates integrated into my pack. I stopped development after High Elf mainly because my main developer was constantly looking for other opportunities. It became difficult to maintain a stable team, especially with everything going on (including the situation in Ukraine at that time). Eventually, I couldn’t find a reliable dev to continue working on Essence, so I decided to step away from this market last year. Now I’ve decided to sell everything. What I’m selling: All necessary tools (sniffing, geodata build, pack upgrade tools, game client parsers, L2Wiki parser, interfaces etc.) Full SVN repositories with all commits (Essence / Classic / High Five) All edited clients I still have All my data I can also include on sell an official character that is active daily, ranked, end up gear, and has access to end-game zones!!! useful for deep sniffing where normal players don’t have access. If someone wants to buy everything, I prefer a full deal and I will transfer full ownership. If needed, I can also sell parts separately, but honestly I’d prefer to sell everything to one team that can continue this project — this has been my work, my hobby, my baby. Important: I don’t offer further updates. The files are sold exactly as they are. I will, of course, explain everything you need to know to continue working on them.
