Good luck !

Another Fail.

 

[ATT3]

Another Fail.

I don't think so, of course depends on what do you count as a failure and what as successful one.
If you count that only servers with 1000 active players are success and everything below it is a failure, then sure you have good chances to guess right.

But if you are reasonable you can count all servers with least 50 daily active players as minor success, with 100+ as success and with 250+ as major success

I will be purchasing countdown on otservlist.org, so you can expect 100+ players on start.

Lol
Alright.

Hello,

It's all a learning experience and advertising is one of the most important parts. On your first server you didn't buy a countdown and that definitely played a big role in how many people even knew about it. No one can play something they never heard of haha.

Good luck in your next server I hope you keep getting better and better.

Best Regards,

Agreed.
Not only that there is low amount of people knowing about the server, but also that most ppl who visit the website won't even bother to try the server out since it has low amount of players.

---I haven't gathered any data from this.---

I guess it would be something like, if;
One out of 5 website visitors would login to the server if the server has over 150 players

But then, if its not popular server => low amount of website visitors. yet..
One out of 10 website visitors would login to the server if the server has less than 50 players

Which makes it even more difficult for "small servers" to grow.

Anyway, of course there are many other things on top of that.

To reach over 150+ daily active players, it can't be just 100% "download and run" server.
It has to have something special, good connections etc.


And thanks

Real map.

 

[akabaka]

I am willing to give Atte another chance, he is a great guy. As long as their aren't resets every 3 weeks.

 

[akabaka]

Bump, 14 hours!

 

[akabaka]

so May 24th or May 30th? I'm confused?

 

[Oldschool'er]

offline? disappointed

 

[badankan87]

Seems like a nice server, and i will for sure try it out!
BUT, im very confused about the release date & time..

Ducates.net is starting 24th of May 18.00 CET
Ducates.net is starting 1st of June 14.00 CET
And from the "counter": 05 Days, 07 Hours, 52 Minutes, 04 Seconds. ( If im counting it the right way? it will be starting at: 05.00 (swedish time).

If you could update us abit would be nice

The server would probably be great, if it wasn't for the fact that all the donations are extremely overpowered.

I woke up in a new ducate!

 

[ATT3]

The server would probably be great, if it wasn't for the fact that all the donations are extremely overpowered.

My intention wsn't to make donations overpowered, I just made them fairly quick when I didn't have much time.

Anyway, I will do big changes on these donation items expect weapons (fine right now) e.g 55~ atk.

But yeah, I have to agree that those donation items look overpowered to me now.
As said, I will take a futher look into these items/some might be removed and to rest I will adjust them (lower and remove attributes etc.)

If you got any ideas or suggestions please share.

 

[badankan87]

Rly looking forward for the opening of your server mate, whenever it will be.

Some suggestions:

What about making those donate-weapons 2-handed? to make it more worth for players/EK's to make annih/inq to get the best 1-handed. This way the donate weapons wont look overpowered at all

That donate Spellbook looks way OP, might be a good suggestion to make it like the spellbook of ancient arcana, +4 ml and +5 death, and ofc lower the def!
