(Request)Some informations about server opening

[Lennart91]

Hi everybody a greek friend recommended the site to us. We are a couple of swedes that are newbies into the hosting and private server development. We love the official game but have a terrible experience with playing at a L2 java server. We want to invest money into a l2 off x20 hardcore gameexperience. The goal is to make a profit out of it. Question is how much would a serious developer charge for setting up the server and what about the monthly costs?

 

Thanks in advance,

Lennart.

Hey my scandinavian brother.

 

To tell you the truth, it's very unlikely you'll be making a profit on an L2 server these days.

 

You're looking at probably $600+ usd startup and about $50-70 a month at least for a server. More if you're planning on spending money on advertising to increase your player number at launch.

 

Money to launch a server is the last of your concerns in the beginning though. How is your server going to be better than what's out there now? Do you have a plan?

Here is your “informations”: If you do it for profit, please stop and  get a job. Don’t even bother, because you also sound that you don’t have a clue. No offense

If you really want it then you should try it, don't let others discourage you. To setup the server it wouldn't cost alot its a matter of minutes. It would cost alot if you need a developer(java-client etc) to implement new stuff. For the hosting part you won't need alot of money unless you want a host with backup-ddosprotection-high storage/speed etc but you could make it work with a 50 euros host.

Clearly nobody said anything about Java :-)
