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.

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?

    • With EA Sports FC 27 officially announced, many players are hoping to get their hands on a coveted Closed Beta code. The FC 27 beta gives fans an early opportunity to test new gameplay features, modes, and updates before the game's full release. Ultimate Team is expected to be one of the most anticipated modes, giving players an early look at the in-game economy and how valuable FIFA 27 coins may be at launch. While there's no guaranteed way to receive a beta invitation, there are several steps you can take to maximize your chances. These methods have helped many players receive beta codes in previous years, and they're still the best options heading into FC 27.     1. Enable EA Email Communications The first and most important step is to make sure EA can actually contact you. Log in to your EA account and head to Communication Preferences. Here, you'll find options related to emails about products, events, and promotions. Make sure to: • Turn on promotional emails. • Set email frequency to "Any Time" instead of monthly updates. • Save your changes. EA typically sends Closed Beta invitations via email, so if these settings are disabled, you could miss your chance entirely.   2. Add FC Games to Your Favorite Titles Under your EA account preferences, you'll find a section for favorite games. Add any football-related EA titles you play, including: • EA Sports FC 26 • EA Sports FC 27 (if available) • EA Play • Other EA football games This helps EA understand your interests and may improve your chances of being selected for football-related tests.   3. Select Your Preferred Platforms Another useful step is updating your preferred gaming platforms. Choose all the systems you actively use, such as: • PlayStation 5 • Xbox Series X|S • PC • Nintendo Switch 2 There's no official confirmation that selecting more platforms increases your odds, but it doesn't hurt to ensure EA knows where you can participate in the beta. Just remember: if you don't own a particular console, there's little point in selecting it.   4. Verify Your Email Address Double-check that the email address associated with your EA account is verified. An unverified email could prevent important messages from reaching you, including beta invitations. It only takes a few seconds to confirm, and it's one of the easiest things to overlook.   5. Link Your Gaming Accounts Make sure your EA account is connected to the platforms you play on. Common account links include: • PlayStation Network • Xbox Network • Steam • Epic Games • Nintendo Account Having your accounts linked ensures your profile is fully set up and ready if you're selected for the FC 27 beta.   6. Consider Joining EA's Playtesting Program If you're interested in testing games beyond FC 27, consider signing up for EA's playtesting program. EA occasionally invites players to participate in early tests for upcoming titles. While joining doesn't guarantee you'll receive an FC 27 beta code, it can improve your chances of being considered for future playtests. Players selected for EA playtests are usually notified via email, so keeping your communication settings enabled remains essential.     Is There a Guaranteed Way to Get an FC 27 Beta Code? Unfortunately, no. EA selects participants based on a variety of factors, and luck still plays a significant role. Even players who have received beta codes in previous years aren't guaranteed to get one again. That said, following the steps above gives you the best possible chance: 1. Enable EA email communications. 2. Set email frequency to "Any Time." 3. Add FC titles to your favorite games. 4. Select your active gaming platforms. 5. Verify your email address. 6. Link your platform accounts. 7. Join EA's playtesting program.   When Does the EA Sports FC 27 Closed Beta Begin? If selected, players may receive their invitations around July 31, so keep an eye on your inbox and check your spam folder regularly. The Closed Beta is scheduled to kick off on August 5 and will remain available until August 25. This gives invited participants nearly three weeks to explore the game and provide feedback to EA. Compared to past beta tests, this is a relatively lengthy testing period, suggesting that EA is placing a strong emphasis on collecting player impressions and identifying potential issues ahead of the official release. Below are the launch and closing times for major regions around the world: Region / Time Zone EA FC 27 Closed Beta Start Date & Times EA FC 27 Closed Beta End Date & Times Pacific Time (PT) 10:00 AM—August 5 10:00 AM—August 25 Central Time (CT) 12:00 PM—August 5 12:00 PM—August 25 Eastern Time (ET) 1:00 PM—August 5 1:00 PM—August 25 Brasilia Time (BRT) 2:00 PM—August 5 2:00 PM—August 25 British Summer Time (BST) 6:00 PM—August 5 6:00 PM—August 25 Central European Summer Time (CEST) 7:00 PM—August 5 7:00 PM—August 25 China Standard Time (CST) 1:00 AM—August 6 1:00 AM—August 26 Korean Standard Time (KST) 2:00 AM—August 6 2:00 AM—August 26 Japan Standard Time (JST) 2:00 AM—August 6 2:00 AM—August 26 Australian Eastern Time (AET) 3:00 AM—August 6 3:00 AM—August 26 New Zealand Standard Time (NZST) 5:00 AM—August 6 5:00 AM—August 26   Which Modes Are Included in the Closed Beta? EA is using the FC 27 Closed Beta to evaluate several of the game's most important experiences before launch. Participants may gain access to popular modes such as Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and Clubs, as well as The Grounds, a brand-new addition making its debut in FC 27. Because multiple game modes are being tested simultaneously, the extended beta period gives players ample time to try different features and report their findings.   Final Thoughts Getting an EA Sports FC 27 Closed Beta code isn't guaranteed, but spending a few minutes optimizing your EA account settings can make a big difference. Every year, thousands of players receive invitations, and many of them simply have their accounts properly configured and ready to go. If you're lucky enough to get a code, you'll be among the first players to experience FC 27's new gameplay changes and features before launch. Until then, keep an eye on your inbox, stay patient, and good luck—you might be kicking off your FC 27 journey sooner than expected.

    • Update: Version 3.1.2: * Improved compaction: deleting even a few textures now always reduces the file (previously small deletions could still slightly grow some packages, such as fonts); Version 3.1.1: * Deleting textures now actually shrinks the package: on save it is automatically compacted, reclaiming the space of the deleted textures (format and encryption preserved); Version 3.1.0: * La2Tools now checks for updates on startup and lets you know when a newer version is available on the site; Version 3.0.9: * Fixed textures that appeared blank in some clients (their object carries an embedded shader the reader mis-parsed) — they now decode and display correctly; * ShaderCode is now editable: Texture Properties → Material → ShaderCode shows the texture's real HLSL shader (was a fixed placeholder before); edit it and Apply — works across client formats (Interlude-era through Essence 542); Version 3.0.8: * BMP now imports as a native format, like UnrealEd: 8-bit BMP becomes a P8 (paletted) texture with a real Engine.Palette, 24/32-bit becomes RGBA8, 16-bit becomes G16; * Compress to P8 — adaptive 256-color palette (median-cut quantization); P8 is also selectable as an import "Convert to" target; * Copy / Cut / Paste now works for P8 (paletted) textures; * Non-power-of-two textures are highlighted in red (tiles and table) with a tooltip; new "Fix texture size" menu item pads them to a power of two while keeping the displayed size; * Reads "broken" packages that were tampered to block editors (corrupted size fields) — the client still loads them and now so does La2Tools; * "Repair package" — shown only for a tampered package (its tab is marked red) and restores the corrupted size fields; * Added client license 30 support (reads and imports its textures); * Import dialog now auto-resizes to fit its content; Version 3.0.7: * Import: the file name is now parsed smartly — package.group.name automatically fills the Group and Name fields (the package prefix is ignored); * Import: live name validation with an inline hint and tooltip — OK is blocked until the name is valid (allows - + ' etc., forbids only characters illegal in file names); * Import: textures whose size is not a power of two are now auto-padded for ALL formats (DDS/TGA/BMP too, not only PNG/JPG/GIF) — padded to a power of two with UClamp/VClamp preserving the original display size; * Texture filter now has a clear (×) button; * Light theme: visible Chrome-style tab outlines; Version 3.0.6: * "Save as..." — toolbar button and tab-menu item: save a package under a new name to any folder, choosing the format (Old/New) and Lineage2Ver121 encryption; the tab switches to the saved file; * Tab right-click menu reworked: Save, Save as... and Settings on top; Copy path and Open in Explorer at the bottom; Version 3.0.5: * Animation grouping now follows AnimNext links instead of frame names — chains group correctly with any naming (mixed prefixes, non-sequential or 0-/1-based numbers); * GIF import: animation parameters (frame rate) and TotalFrameNum are now written only to the first frame, the rest keep just the AnimNext link — matches the game's own format; same fix applied to "Create animation"; Version 3.0.4: * Clipboard <-> Explorer: Ctrl+C in the browser then Ctrl+V in Explorer pastes the textures as files; copy files in Explorer then Ctrl+V in the browser imports them; * Rename a package right from Package settings (handles Lineage2Ver121 re-keying); * Hotkeys: F1 (About), F2 (rename), F5 (reload from disk, asks if unsaved), Delete, Enter (Properties), Ctrl+W (close tab); * The application icon now appears in the title bar of every dialog and sub-window; * Fixed flipped preview when importing TGA files;  Download (Installer) |  Download (Portable)
