Honestly even before hopzone got sold it wasnt managed very well, the support was unreasonable at best. For example they kept refusing new servers because of previous listings, even though the servers were unrelated to each other and 5+ years apart.

From 2007 to 2014-2015 maybe it was a good investment because without hopzone you could do almost nothing, much higher than the topzone. Now I will agree with Celesine ...

It's a free market, I don't care too much about pricing. But the support is terrible, I've been waiting 2 weeks for my server to even be approved after meeting all requirements. Needless to say, I won't purchase anything after all.

Because my dear friend that hopzone and topzone is most remember marks on regular people who played ages ago or still playing L2, and I believe that there's website will  be still in market for long coz I know how business works 🙂 Maxcheaters is more for dev, admins and other stuff who NOT for playrs, and if I will do adv at websites I will not choose mxc to avoid DDOS 🙂 I know is stone in Max garden but from there all this DDOS comming 🙂 Now u can BAN me or sort out your retarded members who pull down mxc name  🙂

 

If someone wants to ddos a server, he will find you wherever you are advertising. You become instantly a targer if you are successfull server , full of players. Its easier for a ddoser to search top 5 servers at a rank site rather than click on a banner. its funny.

I have discontinued any voting on my servers. The entire system is corrupt. Players getting multiple rewards with multiple ip/hwid, corrupt vote sites with fake vote counts.. to maintain integrity and fairness for all players.. I stopped this insanity on my servers.

Most russian ad sites do not have voting.

Just straightforward server advertisement for a specific time for a set fee. The only problem I have had with Russian sites is language and type of payment accepted. Not all Russian sites accept Paypal or western Union.

Also, these sites should offer the option of buying ads for specific time in advance. For example, if I want to reserve ad space for October... these sites should develop an option to allow me to prepay for that space and time.

Lastly, I think it is important to expose the owners of these vote sites, the private servers they own, and any other vote sites they control so all can be Boycotted.

 

Experiences(Bad)

hopzone - lack of response. I have sent many emails over 3 years. Can't get a response.

topzone - Banned for agreeing xzone is an asshole here. I think most that deal with him say this.

 

Experiences(Good)

L2ADV.RU - excellent response and helpful(skype)

L2Network - excellent response and helpful(skype)

L2Votes - excellent response and helpful(skype)

L2NET - excellent response and helpful(skype)

L2Top.co - excellent response and helpful(skype)

La2Gold - excellent response and helpful(skype)

La2Top - excellent response and helpful(skype)

L2Stars - excellent response and helpful(skype)

L2NOO - excellent response and helpful(skype)

 

NOT SAYING GOOD OR BAD BUT(WTF?):

L2OOPS - price JUST to list server $430usd per month.

All this guy has is dead servers with 0 online running on frozen, so I would take his review with a grain of salt.

and has banners starting from 1 euro per day (min 10 days) and premium 5 euros per month and there is no multi accounts different hwids etc.. 

while it has 32k visitors per month

there is also

The system that work with protections, you just have to add 5-6 lines of code and its ready with the advantage of open source or even buy a system from the market place that has also support

Sorry but I will have to disagree with you on this one.

 

itopz.com has the worst design (UX/UI) I have ever seen. Maybe you are a good programmer, but you are a bad designer. 2 years since you registered this itopz.com domain, I beg you hire a designer and fix that shit because it looks very ugly. If you need money, I can donate you 10eur but I beg you fix your design because it's not even funny anymore. If you want to compete against other topsites, you need a modern design, not a design from early 2000's.

I dont have issues to answer on trash talking boi, the website is on alpha stage, in couple of days there will be a beta stage, and then a stable release as all normal softwares, is beign build from 0 and is using basic bootstrap and templating engine, yes I am not designer but in the forum there is a list of TODOs and design is one of them, also it works so 32k visitors trash your judgment while they already using it. 

 

also next time you have something your self to compare with try again.. until then you are just a randomer who tried.

2 years and still alpha stage? Did you know that alpha should never be publicly accessible? Doesn't seem like you are a professional developer, more like amateur.

 

32k visitors? How do you calculate them? I opened your forum (I'm sorry but your forum is even more ugly than your website) and it shows "Total users online: 131 Members and 21538 Guests Online". How did you even manage to bring 20k+ bots in your forum? Impressive.

Anyways, I was just trying to help you, but if you don't want to accept any feedback and just downgrade me to a trashtalking kid then fine. You do you, maybe after 10 years you will have a good looking topsite (when nobody will play l2 anymore).

 

To be honest if I was you I would not even tell anyone about topsite looking like this.

 

For now I would focus on fixing design and only then start advertising it. Instead you come to this topic and present your topsite and tell us that it's perfect.

 

In what planet are you living on?

Stop confuse users with server administrators, think first talk after.

    • For many Elden Ring players, especially those short on time or seeking a specific build, buying items online has become a practical and time-saving solution. However, as someone who’s made that choice multiple times, I know firsthand that not all sellers are legitimate—and the risk of losing your money, or worse, getting banned, is real. Through trial and error, and countless hours in the community, I’ve discovered five proven methods to help players like you find authentic Elden Ring items to buy—safely, efficiently, and without risking your account. Here’s how to make sure you’re getting exactly what you need, the right way. 1. Choose Platforms That Guarantee Elden Ring Items Without Ban The number one concern when you buy Elden Ring items is avoiding account penalties. I've personally used platforms that explicitly promote delivery methods aligned with FromSoftware’s guidelines—like safe in-game drops, no cheats, and no modded content. Look for sellers or marketplaces that guarantee you’ll receive elden ring items without ban risk. If that promise isn’t clear or backed by community trust, move on. One time, I made the mistake of buying from an unverified Discord seller—within a week, I saw strange behavior on my account and had to delete my save file. Lesson learned: stick with professional services that know what they’re doing. 2. Rely on Established Marketplaces with Verified Reviews Always look for buyer feedback and real user ratings. Reputable platforms will have a track record of successful transactions and transparent customer experiences. I tend to avoid any site or seller that hides feedback or has a generic, incomplete website. The platforms I trust most let users post detailed reviews and show proof of item delivery—usually with timestamps and screenshots. That added layer of transparency gave me peace of mind the first time I placed an order, and it’s been part of my decision-making ever since. 3. Start with a Small Order to Test Reliability If you’re uncertain, try a small purchase first. This was my approach when I first decided to buy Elden Ring items. I ordered just a few smithing stones to upgrade a secondary weapon and see how the process worked. The seller delivered in under 10 minutes, and the transaction went smoothly. That small step helped build trust, and I gradually scaled up future purchases for full armor sets and talismans. It’s the smartest way to gauge service quality without taking a big risk up front.  [url=https://www.u4gm.com/elden-ring-items][img]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/9d/7d/d4/9d7dd41fc381c64fe9b93e5c11584513.jpg [/img][/url]   4. Confirm Safe Delivery Methods (No Bots or Cheats) Authentic sellers will provide clear instructions on how the item delivery will happen—usually through password-protected multiplayer sessions where they drop items directly to your character. That’s how I’ve received every safe delivery so far. If a seller talks about instant “mailing,” bots, or strange back-end tools, that’s a red flag. Those methods are often tied to bans or corrupted saves. Look for sellers who mention manual delivery, cooperative drops, or private session coordination—these methods are the standard for getting elden ring items without ban issues. 5. Ask for Live Support or Communication Options Good sellers are responsive, offer live chat, or message confirmations. I once had a situation where I accidentally gave the wrong character name for delivery. Thanks to a quick reply from customer support, they corrected it instantly. If a seller isn’t responsive or has no support at all, that’s a sign they may disappear after you’ve paid. A platform with clear customer service builds trust and shows professionalism—especially helpful if you’re new to the process.   There’s nothing wrong with wanting to buy Elden Ring items to save time or explore new builds. I’ve done it several times, and when done correctly, it can genuinely enhance the game without ruining the experience. But your safety comes first. By following these five proven methods, you can make sure the items you receive are legitimate, safe, and won’t get your account flagged. Always prioritize platforms that clearly offer elden ring items without ban risk, and when in doubt—start small, ask questions, and trust your instincts.

    • Lol good joke.   If I'd be the one contacting yo then I'd say at least 50% in advance because you can basically just fuck off when things doesn't go your way, and then you as a developer just wasted days or even weeks of time with development.
    • "Just make your own game!" sounds simple until you’ve tried it. I did, with Epic Dragon World and learned the hard way that "open source" often means "free labor for resellers." The MIT license became a buffet for people to grab code, rebrand it and ghost the project. Even basic collaboration collapsed because everyone wanted their vision, not *a* vision. NCSoft’s lawyers aren’t theoretical. They’re a sword of Damocles. Even if you rebuild a client from scratch, if it feels like Lineage 2, they’ll come knocking. Ask the Chrono Trigger fangame corpses how that goes. MMOs are hospice care. The genre’s on life support, kept alive by whales and nostalgia. Look at Throne and Liberty, NCSoft’s own "successor" to L2, flopping harder than a 2004 PKer in ToI. Classic reboots (WoW, L2) are bandaids, not resurrections. This is the hobby. Optimizing old systems, reverse-engineering spaghetti code and preserving janky mechanics is the fun part. Monetizing it turns it into customer service hell. No thanks. Community? What community? The L2 scene is 90% resellers, 10% players who’ll quit the second they don’t get +16 on day one. Both asking how to install Java and why running the uncompiled server does not work.
