Nice to see you're working hard on the server, but what about advertising? Some forums' side banners and stuff like that?

 

Also I'd consider sticking your topic, it's very effective way of advertising your server - it would be shame if all your hard work wouldn't come hand in hand with adequate promotion. 

Posted

There is a new client patch available. Not critical but fixes many bugs that have been reported so highly recommend everybody updates to this patch to avoid duplicate bug reports.

 

Patch available via L2Citadel website

Posted

 

Update regarding opening:

 

"No ETA yet but you can expect an announcement from us on the opening date in the next week or so."

 

 

Sweet! But you haven't answered my question yet: at what point of progress is your advertisement? Developing and advertising always go hand in hand, even the top-notch server won't be succesful without proper advertising and vice versa.

 

Currently there're TWO banner positions open and you can always stick your topic, both these will help your server greatly.

 

And please don't take it as an offense, I'm just very fond on this project and I'm trying to give you, trust me, good advices. You all guys have worked waaay to hard on this to not let everyone know about this project. I know it costs additional money, but I feel like you've worked your way through that point where additional $100 for advertisement could be any kind of problem. This feeling is fortified by a fact that there're absolutely no game-changing donations on your server (not even XP boosts, which tend to be on this kind of servers), for which you've earned my respect.

 

And so I ask you kindly: set up an advertisement asap.

I wonder how deeply are they sure about what they're doing when it's less than a month till opening and in the link you've sent they're basically just saying 'not yet'.

 

I don't know, activity on forum is pretty good, if the numbers are at least remotely real, over 1000 people visit forum daily, which is a good sign, but I feel like they're losing potential players this way by their inability to stick to a fixed date in time.

Not sure if you actually read that thread, here are some quotes from it which say quite clearly that already much advertising and promotion has been done. 

 

 

We have been actively advertising already for months on top sites, clan forums, Lineage 2 blogs, gaming forums, social media and more.

 

We have also done some SEO work and rank #1 and #5 on Google for our main keywords that combined get 50k searches a month just from Google.

 

As we get closer to live we will increase our advertising and spend more of our advertising budget. It is well covered ;)

 

 

 

 

Obviously we've already been doing a lot of efforts to get the word out there, send several mailings and did quite a bit of viral marketing.

 

 

Honestly I would stop worrying about it :)

giveme top 1-2 keyphrases please ^^

Posted

Yeah I read that, but honestly I just haven't seen in practice anything they talked about yet. 

 

I'm daily browsing most of the largest international L2-based forums and all I see are a mere ad threads, not an actual aggresive advertisement. I mean why not just stick the topic 30$, nothing's easier than that and it increases the traffic nicely.

Posted

Stickying topics in many forums actually decreases the amount of views it gets. This depends on different things like amount of other sticky threads in that forum, forum design, etc. Having an active topic that is bumped by people interested or kept up by staff is usually in better view and gets better noticed. 

 

It was made pretty clear that the hard advertising would start once live was announced :)

 

@Karasu probably better to ask in the Citadel forums by PM or on the irc.

    • Roblox has become one of the world’s most influential user‑generated gaming platforms, attracting millions of players and creators every day. What makes Roblox unique is that it is not just a place to play games—it is a place where anyone can build their own. With Roblox Studio, even complete beginners can design immersive worlds, interactive experiences, and full‑fledged games. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to create your first Roblox game, while also helping you understand how features like Roblox Robux fit into the creator ecosystem.       1. What Is Roblox Studio and Why Use It? Roblox Studio is the official development environment used to create every game on the platform. It is free, accessible, and designed for creators of all skill levels. Whether you want to build a simple obstacle course or a complex simulation game, Roblox Studio provides the tools you need. The platform’s success comes from its user‑generated content model. Players can create games, publish them, and even earn Roblox Robux through in‑game purchases, game passes, or developer products. While earning Robux is not the focus for beginners, understanding its role can motivate you to improve your creations over time.   2. Setting Up Roblox Studio Before you start building, you need to install and set up Roblox Studio. Steps to get started Download Roblox Studio from the official Roblox website. Install and open the application. Log in using your Roblox account. Choose a template or start with a blank Baseplate. For beginners, templates like Obby, Village, or Racing provide a structured starting point. They include pre‑built elements that help you learn how different parts of a game work.   3. Understanding the Interface Roblox Studio may look overwhelming at first, but each panel has a clear purpose. Learning the interface early will make your development process smoother. Key panels Explorer: Shows all objects in your game world. Properties: Displays editable settings for selected objects. Viewport: The 3D workspace where you build your world. Toolbox: Contains free models, scripts, and assets. Home / Model / Test tabs: Provide tools for building, editing, and testing. Spend a few minutes clicking around, selecting objects, and adjusting their properties. This hands‑on exploration helps you understand how everything fits together.   4. Building Your First Game World Once you’re familiar with the interface, it’s time to start building. Using Parts Roblox Studio uses “Parts” as the basic building blocks. You can insert: Blocks Spheres Cylinders Wedges These can be resized, rotated, and moved to create platforms, walls, buildings, or obstacles. Using the Toolbox The Toolbox allows you to drag pre‑made assets into your game. This is extremely helpful for beginners, but choose assets carefully. Some community models include unnecessary scripts that may affect performance. Look for items marked as “Verified” or created by trusted developers. Organizing Your Workspace As your game grows, organization becomes important. Use folders in the Explorer panel to group objects logically: “Obstacles” “SpawnPoints” “Decorations” Good organization saves time and prevents confusion later.   5. Adding Gameplay with Scripts Roblox games use Lua, a beginner‑friendly scripting language. You don’t need to be a programmer to start, but learning basic scripting will greatly expand what you can create. Simple scripts you can try Making a part disappear when touched Creating a moving platform Adding checkpoints Giving players speed boosts Here’s a simple example: a script that prints a message when a player touches a part. Lua: local part = script.Parent   part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)     print("A player touched the part!") end) Even small scripts like this help you understand how interactions work in Roblox.   6. Testing Your Game Testing is essential. Roblox Studio provides several testing modes to simulate gameplay. Use the “Play” button to: Walk around your world Test scripts Check spawn points Look for bugs Ensure platforms and obstacles work correctly You can also use Play Here, Run, and Play Solo to test different aspects of your game.   7. Adding UI and Game Logic A polished game needs more than objects—it needs user interface elements and clear rules. Common UI elements Timers Score counters Health bars Buttons Pop‑up messages You can create UI using ScreenGui objects inside the StarterGui folder. Roblox provides templates for text labels, buttons, and frames, making it easy to design simple interfaces.   8. Optimizing Your Game A smooth game keeps players engaged. Here are some optimization tips: Remove unused parts and scripts. Avoid too many moving objects. Use low‑poly models when possible. Test on mobile devices—many Roblox players use phones. Keep lighting simple to improve performance. Optimization ensures your game runs well for all players, not just those with powerful devices.   9. Publishing Your Game Once your game is playable, you can publish it to Roblox. Steps to publish Click File → Publish to Roblox. Enter a name, description, and genre. Choose whether the game is public or private. Set permissions and access settings. After publishing, you can share the link with friends or the Roblox community. If you eventually want to monetize your game, you can add game passes or developer products that players can purchase using Roblox Robux. This is optional for beginners, but it becomes important as your game grows.   10. Improving Your Game Over Time The best Roblox games are updated regularly. After publishing, pay attention to: Player feedback Bug reports Suggestions from friends Analytics (visits, playtime, retention) Add new levels, improve visuals, or introduce new mechanics to keep players coming back.   11. Learning and Growing as a Creator Roblox provides many resources to help you improve: Roblox Creator Hub Developer Forum YouTube tutorials Community Discord servers The more you practice, the more confident you’ll become. Many successful developers started as beginners just like you—and some now earn significant amounts of Roblox Robux through their creations.   Final Thoughts Creating your first Roblox game is an exciting journey. You don’t need advanced skills or expensive tools—just creativity and curiosity. Start small, experiment with templates, learn basic scripting, and gradually build your skills. With time and persistence, you can create a game that players around the world will enjoy.
    • Hello it seems you can't receive PMs, it won't let me, do you use discord?
    • Hello after returning to lineage 2, I was wanting to start some local server development for a few friends and me to play around with but for some reason I'm having trouble after so many years to find a stable high five client. The clients I have found either have crash issue, many errors in the client log files or freeze after only a day or two of playing (autofarming for a day for example, you'll go to teleport after a farm session and the client freezes).   I've played a few High Five servers and it seems a lot of them have been able to optimize it to avoid these problems.  We are running multiple clients per PC so this does sound essential.   I've heard one major feature that is helping client stability is the ability to clear cache/memory without restarting the game or something along those lines.   So I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of obtaining a High Five client that is clean, optimized and decrypted to be able to add customs items etc. for a fair price.
