Lava Titan
Developer
The last time it was managed by Lava Titan it felt more like a cashgrab with poor changes than an actual proper version of ascalon. I remember that you could buy gems for real money and that the anti bot system was completely disabled (while it's not a perfect system, it prevents almost everyone from afk botting).
I'm sure that people would still enjoy the server if you just put it up right now with no changes and they could enjoy the exact same server for the 10th time but it would be amazing to see an actual proper version of ascalon with new good non bugged (GAAL) content and proper advertisement, so that it actually stays alive for a while. I'm both willing to invest time into development and money into advertisement for a new ascalon that doesn't have pay2win shit and actually does something against the botters.
I was going to refer this at some point, yeah I totally agree that I did a lot mistakes when Fare let me manage the server, I saw that after a while and I did learn with them, I'm not proud of it but I'm not ashamed as well, this is nothing new but again, making content takes hours of work, playing that content takes minutes, maybe we're doing something wrong, maybe not, I don't know but the time we're investing should be rewarding for us as well, I mean I like developing servers I really do but does it pay off the time I'm wasting? I'm not going to make Ascalon a pay2win server but the server income must be "acceptable" so I can spend it to help the server grow and help myself as well, I hope you guys understand my point, and if someone else joins I also need to share the income with that person, which will probably be the case, now what I'm trying to say is, we both developers and players need to find a way together to make it that everyone is being benefited..
somebody should make a discord for this lmfao.... we can talk about some stuff we would like to be changed/added without spamming this post lul
That's a good idea, here's the link: Discord - Free voice and text chat for gamers
