After a long hiatus, I am wondering if the l2 community is still alive and if there is interest for any kind of server.

Since now I have the time,I could get my hands on something to create a server just to relive some old days.

So is the community interested in any client of any kind of server?

i think you just got your answer in the first reply to the topic :D 

 

players only really care about names, if you got a name (even if you stole it) then you'll pull players but even still, not likely to get a server to last beyond 1-2 months, 3 if you're really lucky and some other big name doesn't launch in that time

 

"community" now consists of clans/streamers who get paid to play on servers and the peons who follow them, servers live and die based on which people they've allocated their "advertising" budget to.

1. Make some activity on the server. At least, to enable basic economy/trading.
Have some NPC-buffers in cities [to have decent buff, at least].
Maybe, also to add some 'friend-bots', - real players will be able to create farm parties - for raids, events.

And generally, if you want good server, - at least you should like it yourself, as regular player should.

 

2. To have Devs with skills and understanding the core things of L2 in team. Maybe, Players with experience, who know well their classes and skills. To check how this work in parties. Server w/o working sources - is not option, but waste of time.

 

3. The main problem of L2 - is community. New players simply don't know about the game. Today, they are downloading and installing other games. And we cannot advertise this product - simply because we not own the trademarks. So, one day, it will be much more practical - to run a new game, having best features of L2 inside, but independent and based on new graphical engine, than trying to reverse-engineer ancient stuff in a free time.

Most of the players are paid clans and adena sellers garbage who know nothing about the game and don't give a shit about it. The only thing that matters for them is money. There are some true players who still want to just play the game but <100 of them at most worldwide I guess.

So sad, but so true. I agree 100%

      L2jOrion - Sourcecode.

      By L2LIVEpro · Posted

      Well, sorry not sorry for resurrecting old topic, but I believe it's ultimately stupid to implement license checks like Vilmis did 🙂   private static String url = "jdbc:mysql://185.80.128.233/" + getData("Zm9ydW1fZGI="); private static String username = getData("bXJjb3B5cmlnaHQ="); private static String password = getData("Y29weXJpZ2h0XzEyMw=="); con = GlobalDB.getInstance().getConnection(); PreparedStatement statement; statement = con.prepareStatement("SELECT field_6 from core_pfields_content WHERE member_id = ?"); statement.setInt(1, Config.FORUM_USER_ID); ResultSet rset = statement.executeQuery();   This awesome way of coding things leaves us with base64-encoded credentials and DB exposed and accessible globally 😉 Btw he checks his licensing data from some plugin generated table his forum uses. Vilmis took action and ensured that mrcopyright user would have only needed accesses and rights for this operation. But he forgot to ensure that his INFORMATION_SCHEMA database would not be exposed and readable... That leads us to fully readable server variables like version used (10.1.26-MariaDB-0+deb9u1 - pretty ancient DB and OS, I'd assume). From here you can go south and do some kinky stuff, if you want and have knowledge for that. But who cares, right?   Ooh, table core_pfields_content field_6 is IP address which is checked by FORUM_USER_ID. Yep, you can query all IP addresses there (124 of them right now) and also do whatever you want with them! 🙂  The most fun part? Files source has been shared what, more than 2 years ago?  Vilmis still uses very same credentials and never changed it after sources exposure - who cares. Although, "sources" may be way too strong word here. If anyone still use paid Orion versions, I'd suggest packing your shit and leaving immediately, or at least fix this incompetent fool caused problems. It's obvious Vilmis don't care or maybe doesn't even know from the first place how to solve this problem (hint hint - tiny PHP Rest API microservice which would do absolutely the same but without exposing sensitive data?). By doing that, he exposes his infrastructure and YOUR data, and he does that for more than 2 years now 🙂 Developer of century!
