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!

    • ⚡ Weekend Stock Refresh! Fast order fulfillment is active. Get Gemini Pro Advanced + Google One cloud storage activated on your own personal email within minutes.
    • New Release World & atmosphere A complete dynamic weather system has arrived, with Clear, Light Rain, Rain, Heavy Rain, Storm, Snow, and Windy presets. Rain and snow react to roofs, wind moves foliage, lightning illuminates storms, exposed ground becomes wet and develops puddles, and snow builds up and melts over time. Weather includes Low to Ultra quality levels and advanced controls for precipitation, wind, cloud cover, lightning, surface wetness, puddles, and snow. The game server can also select or restore the current weather while local quality settings continue to control rendering cost. The weather can be controlled from the server with custom packets. For more details use Shift+Alt+P. Enhanced lighting now allows authored lamps, fires, and other light sources to illuminate towns and interiors. Lights can pulse, flicker, blink, and strobe, flames produce warm dynamic light, and lamps display depth-aware halos. Remastered emissive surfaces are now supported, beginning with illuminated windows in Giran that glow and cast light into their surroundings. Broadcasting Towers now use their correct original scale and animated rings and glow effects. Map, quests & navigation A complete quest journal has been added, with active and completed quests, expandable stages, descriptions, requirements, item progress, quest inventory integration, location controls, and quest cancellation. Quest objectives now appear through flashing minimap and world-map markers, an overhead directional guide, a notification button beside chat, and rotating quest symbols above eligible NPCs. Server-directed radar markers now work across the live minimap and world map, including the original overhead guidance effect and arrival behavior. The original tutorial system now works, including scrollable tutorial pages, animated illustrations, the flashing question button, tutorial links, and movement, camera, pickup, and sit/rest progression events. Server-opened town maps now display their original artwork and the supplied player marker. Shops, storage & items Personal, clan, castle, and freight warehouses now work, including deposits, withdrawals, stack quantities, fees, weight and capacity previews, tooltips, and the original warning and empty-storage dialogs. Account freight now works through the original recipient picker and delivery window, allowing items to be sent to another character on the same account. Multisell exchanges now work, with paged recipe lists, product details, required materials, quantity selection, warnings, and server-backed completion. Manor seed purchasing is now supported through the shop interface, including availability and pricing. Inventory items can now be dragged to the trash button and destroyed after the appropriate warning or quantity prompt. The original in-game calculator now works with mouse and keyboard input. Community The Community Board is now available from the system menu or Alt+B, with Home, Favorites, Region, Clan, Memo, Mail, and Friends sections, retained navigation, forms, scrolling, minimization, and server-provided pages. Characters, cameras & events Striders and Wyverns now render as fully animated mounts with the rider attached correctly. Striders remain ground-based, while Wyverns support three-dimensional flight. Characters now enter a proper falling state after high drops or airborne dismounts, with falling animations and server-authoritative landing and fall-damage handling. Players can now sit on authored world chairs using the correct sit, wait, and stand animations. Server-driven special camera sequences now work, including target tracking, interpolation, duration, widescreen bars, and restoration to the normal camera. GM camera mode and server-authorized ///fly movement are now supported. The original 102-second Kamael teaser sequence has been restored with its complete slideshow, transitions, panning artwork, localized subtitles, and narration. Hats, masks, circlets, and other hair accessories now use their authored head placement and correctly adjust the character's hairstyle. Timed server confirmation dialogs, short-duration status effects, regeneration previews, and the seasonal Christmas Seal presentation are now supported. Interface & performance Character creation has been refined with corrected description wrapping, clipping, layout, and name-entry presentation. Tutorial and NPC dialog windows now use polished proportional scrollbars, improved HTML layout, and correctly sized illustrations and controls. A new independent 3D render-resolution setting offers Native, 720p, 900p, 1080p, 1440p, and 4K choices while keeping the window, HUD, text, and FermaUI at native resolution. Major rendering optimizations reduce unnecessary work in local lighting, shadows, visibility, exposure, bloom, post-processing, and GPU diagnostics. Download from the launcher you have installed, or at https://updates.fermata.gg/ if you don't have the launcher. Fermata Light Engine Preview All lights can be baked in the client, shipped to the users, and exported and imported as .femlight files.
