@Arny:
Don't you see that pangaeria's representative is already here?
You can't compare those servers. Pangeria logged in over 100 fake characters to raise the position on the otservlist.
Gunzodus/ezodus created fake characters but haven't counted them as active players in accordance to otservlist's rules (therefor those characters didn't raise his position on the otservlist). Actually eloth/kasteria was also doing that in the past.
I'm not saying that what gunzodus did was ethic. However, there is no rule on otservlist which the server broke - I had access to his server and it is indeed reporting the REAL number of players to otservlist.
@johncore:
7/01/2020 - warzona is banned for counting mc's over 4 per IP. Standard test, I've logged in numerous players and checked what server returns via status protocol. Result: 30 day ban
27/01 - Warzona is added under a new IP (login.warzona.online) to avoid the previous banishment - result: auto 30 day ban.
31/01 - Once again, added under new IP - this time as: login.warzona.online. Should have been auto-banned for avoiding previous banishments but decided to give you a try. What I found out?
This time ~50 fake characters. Chars like those were logged in to raise the total number of players online. Unfortunately the test was taken over a month ago and most of google caches were already deleted. This will however give all of you an idea what he was doing. Notice almost the same creation/login time.

I was more than sure that you are spoofing, you've created a meeting-id. I've entered it and did some additional tests. It turned out that you were logging in fake characters from VPSes/dedicated servers:
169.57.146.148 6 94.92.39a9.ip4.static.sl-reverse.com
45.76.58.48 6 45.76.58.48.vultr.com
140.82.30.84 6 140.82.30.84.vultr.com
168.1.2.45 6 2d.02.01a8.ip4.static.sl-reverse.com
45.76.18.45 3 45.76.18.45.vultr.com
(...)
I've asked you to give me a list of characters associated with IP addresses so I could be 1000% sure that those fake characters I found out were indeed logged in from VPSes (by someone who would benefit from it - you). However, you told me that you don't know how to do that and haven't provided me with that list. Therefor, your server was kept banned.
In 2018 you did the same with tibianox.com
I'm glad you told me that you still have some servers on the list. I will look for them since yeah, rotten fruits like you, should be banned from advertising on the otservlist. People of your kind destroy a hard work of other server owners who obey the rules and work hard on their servers.
