Tryskell's project is a half private project which he gets a good deal of money from(i suppose), (...) You know we do this project for free we dont ask for money from it nor doing it for fame(i can safely say we have estabilish a reputation around here alredy), we do this because thats a passion to us and a great hobby. (...)

 

Tryskell was saying something similar at beginning I believe, but ended up as a so called a half private project (commercial) - by the way, I do not blame such decision, just stating my opinion. Interlude Archid was also free at beginning, latter - after spotting large commercial opportunity, changed their mind as well.

I don't really understand the subject, as anyway both L2J/L2OFF or Coder will have same (poor) priviledges. Coder denomination is more generic, but you don't know "fast" on what good the guy is supposed to be. Well, as there isn't a lot of L2OFF devs, I guess it is ok.

 

I personally think if there are 2 different sections, there should have 2 different ranks, with priviledges regarding their own section. A L2OFF guy got no reason to moderate L2J section, and vice-versa.

 

Tbh, the whole Coder rank is kinda pointless if you ask me. There should have some moderators for each big sections, and that's all. Cutting tasks in more little become pointless at a moment (when as a 'moderator' you have to ask to a bigger moderator to clean up a thread, there is the beginning of nonsense and not productive way).

 


 

PS : If you want to speak about aCis, and reasons why I moved from "open source" to "contribution2use" and then "freemium", there's a 120 pages thread with almost 60k views dedicated to it.

 

Anyway :

  • I did/do almost no money (900€ since last november), and if I wanted money I would simply work IRL (in France you earn 1k€/month, 35h/week, no matter the job : do the maths).
  • Monetization has been introduced because some people were selling aCis, from time it was contribution2use. I prefer the money generated by the project goes to my project rather than leakers.
  • I created a community where people who logs on my forums are willing to help. No whiners, no bots. You can agree or disagree with how I achieved it, the fact is it is working enough good than I never had to think about returning back to open source.

 

Finally, I prefer code contribution rather than money, for the simple reason than code contributors improve their knownledge while someone who just got money and got no clue about L2J would make a terrible admin. So the "we don't ask your money" can apply for my project too. There is more benefits sharing code than giving money, both for me and for you. The final point being, for one as the other, to contribute.

 

'No work, no candies.'

 

PS2 : Intrepid, what's your open source project timeline ?

    • Both "MMO genre" AND "forums" are greatly deprecated those days. MMO genre, except very few games (TESO, WOW, BDO, FF14), is mostly "eaten" by fast paced games (aka games with 15-30min game parties, they are numerous). See Twitch best games, I doubt the top 10 are MMOs. Adding more MMOs categories, while MMOs themselves got less population, isn't a bright idea. Also, in the past, there was multiple games categories - none actually worked out, so far. Forums type were replaced by Discord, mostly. You communicate faster, you got voice, you can group up and it's already thematized (by server, by guild, by game,...)... Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about. You already did it multiple times without success (3 or 4 times at least ?). It's not due to staff. MMO forum is just "niche" nowadays, while 20 years ago it was "dope" and the thing to do. Your main problem is MxC is a community based on "nothing". It was first cheater dedicated, then mostly L2 development dedicated,... With a mix of random things here and there. The formula is lightly-themed as "community" (that's actually why you still have some ppl posting), and in same time community never was expanded to retain ppl (notably through MxC servers - no matter the game : L2, GTA, Conan Exiles, Lost Ark, whatever else). In the end, you end with "nothing", since people comes and goes (and mostly goes, since MMO isn't a thing anymore), but both MMO genre is greatly endangered by other types of games AND forums isn't the proper way to communicate in 2024. Actually, the only use of a forums compared to Discord is to search through archives, and the main point is it's a better "showcase" than Discord (a static website would end with the same output). The proposed formula will never work, or at best will attract greedy ppl.

    • Hello everyone,    As you can see lately, the L2 community is decreasing, especially on private servers, its been 21 years since Lineage2 release date (1st October 2003). MaxCheaters.com was created in 2005 (with different names) and till today we are basically focused on Lineage 2. We made several attempts to add other games, but everyone still knew us as an L2 based forum. MaxCheaters has a long history and is one of the few forums that have survived to this day,It would be a shame to let the site die.   So I came up with a few ideas to improve it and follow the trends.   1. Create a utility token, (evm or solana), that will be used for several things such as: Staffers/moderators payment. Content creators reward system. (influencers/advertising/topic creators) Paid forum support. Exchanges and marketplaces . Lineage 2 utility token for private servers. Other MMO utility token for buying/selling accounts/gold etc. Maxcheaters fixed expenses/improvements/development/expansion/design/topsite   2. Reduce l2 sections, (we done this before) , and add more games on main page Less l2 sections More MMO games Focus on marketplaces    3. Rebuild staffers team/more events. Add one staffer per MMO game. More active staffers on our team.   4. Social media activity / streaming Twtter / TikTok content for gaming.  Streaming platforms (create official channel) Moderators/content creators for this content specifically.
