The dramatic drop in lineage 2 popularity and population in NA/EU regions has concerned me whether I should start another project

 

What are your thoughts and opinions on this matter?

Depends mostly about server quality and features. In the past there were way too much servers, it's only fair justice about what currently happens.

 

Every game is similar, even vanilla games got problems to find players. There is just a over-boom of games, while gamers population didn't expand the same way. Onbviously in 2004 you could make billions because there was like 10 MMOs, but nowadays the population upped by let's say 50% while the number of games is simply phenomenal (200+ easily).

 

When you see games like Firefall, which got a Steam population of 250 at best, it scores lower than most L2J servers.

 

Overall there should have maybe 10 servers on. The leftover is supposed to die. If you can score 3k ppl, then either you're lucky and your gf cheated on you, or your server was quality enough to retain people longer than 3 weeks.

I'm almost sure MMO bubble will soon explode anyway, like multiple games will close in same time or few companies bankrupt. When you see SOE merged off to become Daybreak, layoffing ppl, you see there is a problem.

didnt even read the topic but from the title -> no

 

I wonder why you advertise a L2J project then, if it doesn't worth to be used anymore.

I guess it all depends on how serious you would like to approach the subject. What are you capabilities, budget, aims and fecking how thick your skin is - and it usually has to be quite thick to deal with the spoiled community.

 

Would you aim for a high population or rather smaller community? Your question just seams rather vague.

 

Besides, if you're after the money then you'll probably have hard time; if for the fun and pleasure of running a server then it's totally your choice.

 

There's still quite a lot of small projects going strong because they like having their own piece of L2. The online counter is not always an indication of how good the server is or how well it's doing.

I agree with Sybar,

 

It all depends on what you're trying to do. If your goal is to have a massive community, you'll need to receive enough money to pay for dedicated hosting/DDos Protection + smart guard or similar protections. The majority of the cash making servers are wiping every few months or once donations have slowed and for some reason the players are okay with this. They go from server to server depending on if they fail or not.

Take LasTravel/ SirFaris / Zer0 (all same person under different nicks) as an example, wipe every 5-6 months ^^

      2 gameserver 1 login on same server

      By luzzifer · Posted

      Hi guys, I have the following problem, I want to set up two servers on the same dedicated server and I can't.   L2jacis 409 Linux Server. The first gameserver has the following configuration: # ================================================================ # Gameserver setting # ================================================================ # This is transmitted to the clients, so it has to be an IP or resolvable hostname. If this ip is resolvable by Login just leave * Hostname = 190.25.103.103 # Bind ip of the gameserver, use * to bind on all available IPs. GameserverHostname = * GameserverPort = 7777 # The Loginserver host and port. LoginHost = 127.0.0.1 LoginPort = 9014 # This is the server id that the gameserver will request. RequestServerID = 1 # If set to true, the login will give an other id to the server (if the requested id is already reserved). AcceptAlternateID = True UseBlowfishCipher = True # ================================================================ # Database informations # ================================================================ URL = jdbc:mariadb://localhost/server1 Login = server1 Password = server1 I configured the second gameserver like this:   # ================================================================ # Gameserver setting # ================================================================ # This is transmitted to the clients, so it has to be an IP or resolvable hostname. If this ip is resolvable by Login just leave * Hostname = 0.0.0.0 # Bind ip of the gameserver, use * to bind on all available IPs. GameserverHostname = * GameserverPort = 7788 # The Loginserver host and port. LoginHost = 127.0.0.1 LoginPort = 9014 # This is the server id that the gameserver will request. RequestServerID = 2 # If set to true, the login will give an other id to the server (if the requested id is already reserved). AcceptAlternateID = True UseBlowfishCipher = True # ================================================================ # Database informations # ================================================================ URL = jdbc:mariadb://localhost/server2 Login = server2 Password = server2 apart from having tested 0.0.0.0 on the second gameserver I also tried 127.0.0.1 In both cases I see the two servers in the login when I log in, but I try to enter the one with the lowest ping and it kicks me out. The other server always appears with ping 9999 and I try to enter but it doesn't do anything and it freezes the login so I have to log in again. The hexids are in their respective folders. For server 1, it has its hexid inside the gameserver config folder, and I checked that the hexid id is the same id, for example id 1 in the gameserver is also id1 for server 1, and hexid 2 has its hexid 2 for server 2. The server ports are open and listening when I turn on both gameservers. I really don't know what could be wrong. If you could give me some help I would appreciate it. Excuse my English.
