DeathZot v2 (The Restoration Project) | Live Update Thread & Discussion

[Rikci]

Let me clear some stuff on donations:

For one it's not 100% my server anymore and it's not like I have all those donations sitting in a bank account to give 50% to Xagul. This server is now equally as much mine as it is Xaguls. We're trying to find a way to give some kind of compensation (not reward points) to people who contributed a lot to the old server. DeathZot v2 is like almost an entire new server, so it would feel weird getting points back because what you donated for on v1 is most likely not in v2. Throughout my years of playing Admin Death's servers I donated quite a bit, and if you played his servers you would be familiar with how often he use to wipe them. Most of the time he didn't give donations back and it wasn't until I made DeathZot that I understood why. With the amount of time put into (quality otservers) you almost have to treat it like a job. I could not afford to put as much time into this server (Xagul as well) assuming we wouldn't make anything from it. Not only that, but it would ultimately destroy DeathZot v2 if old donations were given back because the economy would be a madhouse.

Because you may be curious - I did the math on how much the server made from donations AFTER paying for dedicated fees and paying taxes on it (Yes I had to pay taxes on them). The amount made after donations was about the same amount as if I were to work at McDonalds for 7.25$/hour.

-

As for the beta it will just be a 1-2 day test (vocation, monsters, map). I'm going out of state this weekend so I wanted to do a small test to see where the server is at, that way when I get back I will hopefully have a list of map bugs to start working on. Xagul is going to host the test server from his computer.

Totally agree with you
Keep it up

Completely no lifed XDC tonight..... WELL todays the big day hope all goes smooth XD

 

[Xagul]

I don't know whre people are getting their info, but I have NEVER ONCE EVER said that you will get your donations from XDC on Deathzot..................... In fact, I clearly stated to the few people who asked on Bitzot that I cannot give donations back because XDC is my server not jakes. But let me clear this up for the people who try to put words in my mouth.

DONATIONS FROM XDC AND DEATHZOT 1 ARE NOT BEING RETURNED ON DEATHZOT 2 BECAUSE THIS IS NOW A SHARED PROJECT AND ITS NOT FAIR.
However... we are working on a system that compensates people that donated on Deathzot 1 (and maybe xdc?) This is not going to include any amount of % of your old donations, but it will be a useful compensation if I can get it working I assure you.

As for the beta, the server was on schedule to start this morning until we did a quick run through and found some serious problems so I am going to shoot for this afternoon. Please keep in mind that this is not a full blown beta and so many things are not going to be finished. I am going to stop wasting my time typing on this thread and get to work so that hopefully there is at least a bit less errors when people log in at noon (MY noon aka pacific time zone).

tldr;
Beta at 12:00pm (PDT)
It is currently 6:26 as of hitting this submit button.

Whoever is interested in the beta test please post stating that you would like a beta invite and include your vocation preferences in order from most desired to least desired.
Example: shade>warrior>archer>priest>ninja>illusionist>barbarian>elementalist>zealot

ANY VOCATION YOU LEAVE OUT OF YOUR PREFERENCE LIST I WILL ASSUME YOU DO NOT WANT TO PLAY AT ALL AND THUS YOU WILL BE SKIPPED IF ALL THE VOCATIONS YOU DID LIST ARE TAKEN
