MMOwned Private Server

[Amedis]

Just an idea. Would anyone be interested in an MMOwned Private server?

[Tbone]

I would if i can be a GM lol

[Matt]

I've been thinking about it.. As we do post emulator server exploits.. this could be sort've a bad thing.. But I'll look into it.. We are getting a dedicated server soon

[Amedis]

Hahaha. Good point Matt. Really though, if you were offering a service such as a server for the site, Im sure people would respect that (Well, most people) and not try to hack their way into things. Also, alot of the exploits we post arnt game breaking anyways.

[Tbone]

Yes, and besides i'm sure the GMs would be trustworthy and responsible (You, Kurios, Chazzwaza or w/e lol, and maybe more)

[Matt]

The problem is.. I've run 3rd party game servers before.. and even when you have lots of help you always run into problems.. Corrupt GM's.. Big exploits that no one is aware of until its too late..

I don't know if I have enough time to devote to a game server right now.. It took over my whole life.. from the second i got home.. till the time i went to sleep in the AM.. It was horrible with little to no reimbursement.. I don't think I'm going to be running another one for a long long time.

[Tbone]

Okay, but if you do change your mind i'm always here to help out with it and control everything while your gone... maybe you can make one for higher ranks or something.

I could help with probelms and that if u make 1 and need me

[Tbone]

pwner howd u make so much money?

[Amedis]

Matt, I dont understand. How is it that much work? Isnt is simply setting the server up, getting some GM's and letting the good times role? What is it that is so time consuming?

[Tbone]

People run off your internet which they depend all on you :/

[Amedis]

Yea, but all that means is that you need to host the server. I still don't understand why it would be so much work...

[Tbone]

Well, keeping it up, managing stupid hackers, fixing crap all the time :/

[Matt]

yeah and people get bored of just the normal stuff so you got to keep the server "always updated" with the newest and coolest stuff."
people get bored of only a few players being online.. you gotta maintain it so it doesn't take up all the RAM on your computer and doesnt hog all the bandwidth.. it really is a complex process to run a successful game server.

[Amedis]

Heh, I might do it once I get my new computer, but I would have NO IDEA where to start. So if I do it, you all get to help
