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.

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 I would like to offer You my NEW 2026 Updater / Launcher with custom skins.   - UPDATER FEATURES -   1. Performance and Intelligent Resource Management: Smart Disk Detection (SSD/HDD): The updater automatically detects the user's drive type. For SSD/NVMe drives: Launches up to 8-12 concurrent threads, utilizing the full yet optimized connection speed. For HDD drives: Limits the thread count (to 2-3) to prevent computer slowdowns and avoid overloading the drive head. Multi-threaded Downloading: Instead of downloading file by file, the updater downloads multiple files simultaneously, drastically reducing update time. ZSTD Compression: Support for the modern Zstandard compression algorithm (.zst). Files are downloaded in compressed form and decompressed on the fly, saving bandwidth and accelerating downloads. HTTP/2 and Keep-Alive Support: Utilizing the HTTP/2 protocol and persistent connections allows for the instant download of thousands of small files without establishing a new connection for each one.   2. Modern User Interface (UI/UX): Transparency and PNG Graphics: Support for irregular window shapes, allowing for the creation of a unique, modern launcher look. Taskbar Integration: The progress bar is displayed not only in the window but also on the Windows taskbar icon. Built-in News Browser (Optional): The updater features a built-in browser module that displays news/changelogs directly within the launcher (without opening an external browser). Multi-language Support (Optional): Built-in language switching system (e.g., EN/PL/RU, etc.) with dynamic loading of button graphics and text. Animated Buttons (Optional): Dedicated, animated buttons redirecting to Discord, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and the website.   3. Technical Features and Application Security: Anti-Dual Run (Optional): The updater checks if the game is already running to prevent file conflicts during updates. Error Diagnostics: Built-in logging system (debug_log.txt) and hardware exception handling (SEH), facilitating the diagnosis of problems for players who cannot run the game. Internal Configuration: Updater settings are stored inside the .exe file, eliminating publicly accessible configuration files.   4. File Categorization (Normal vs. Critical vs. Once): Critical Files: Critical files are verified more thoroughly (via MD5 Hash) even in quick check mode to guarantee stability. Normal Files: Standard game files (textures, models, sounds) are checked depending on the selected mode (Quick vs. Full). Once Files (Overwrite Exclusions): Applies to user configuration files (e.g., Option.ini, User.ini).   5. Check Modes (Verification Algorithms): Self-Update: The updater can update itself before checking game files, allowing for easy deployment of launcher fixes. The updater supports two main operating modes that switch intelligently based on user action: Smart Check (Startup Quick Check): Runs automatically upon updater startup or pressing the START button (unless a full check is forced). Full Check (Full MD5 Verification): Manually triggered by the player via the "Full Check" button. Automatic Update Detection: If a newer version of a file appears on the server, it is automatically detected and downloaded without player interaction. Atomic Updates: Files are downloaded and verified first, and only then saved to the disk. This prevents game client corruption in case of internet connection loss. The entire process takes seconds, even with clients weighing 30GB+. - PATCH BUILDER FEATURES -   1. Professional File Structure Management (Tree-List Hybrid): Directory Tree Visualization: Instead of a flat file list, the Builder displays a clear structure of folders and subfolders. You can collapse and expand entire tree branches, facilitating work with thousands of files. Normal and Critical Division: A clear window division into two main zones: Normal Files and Critical Files. Ghost and Excluded Files Division: The interface visually informs about the status of unchanged files (existing in the previous patch version) and files excluded from the update. Show/Hide Ghosts: With one click, you can hide unchanged files to focus solely on what you are actually sending to players in this update.   2. Intuitive Interaction: Drag & Drop: Full Drag & Drop support. You can grab files or entire folders and drag them between the "Normal" and "Critical" lists. Transfer is intelligent – it moves the entire content of selected folders. Keyboard Shortcuts: Fast workflow thanks to keyboard support: Delete, Enter, Ctrl+A / Ctrl+C (select and copy paths).   3. Advanced Filtering and Searching: Context Search: The search bar works in real-time, filtering the file tree. Type /folder: Searches only within folder names. Type *ex: Shows only excluded files. Standard Typing: Searches files by name.   4. Automation and Security: Auto Self-Update: The Builder automatically detects the updater executable file. Real-Time Statistics: The status bar continuously shows the file count (Normal/Critical), total patch weight (in Bytes/MB/GB), and the last update date. System File Protection: Files marked as "Critical" cannot be accidentally added to the exclusion list – the program blocks such actions.   5. Performance (Backend): ZSTD Compression: The Builder uses the latest Zstandard algorithm to compress files before sending, ensuring a significantly smaller patch size than standard ZIP, saving server bandwidth and player time. Multi-threading: The packing and MD5 checksum generation process utilizes multiple CPU threads, drastically reducing patch building time.   - PRICING - NEW Updater standard price: 79 euro (if You ask for mods, price will change).   - CONTACT - Discord: ave7309   CLICK HERE TO CHECK LATEST TEMPLATES!                         * I have right to REFUSE to take an order. * Supported games: Lineage 2 / Black Desert / MU Online / Tantra / Rohan / Aion / Cabal / Fiesta any more...
