People of OtLand

Not with the current gen of Server Owners, they just download and run, edit the features and call it custom...
 
Back when I used to try and open servers I'd always start by trying to map myself a world, then work on scripts and what not, usually did all this myself...
 
I owned once server back when it was 8.40 as the main popular client.. It was an Armonia.. I completely Changed around the entire map, Changed class names Spells and All the TP's.. It was like 85% custom.
 
Nice, yeah I had a few run and open but I never accepted donations nor had VIP, I made all classes even and I fixxed everything right and even till my ex-boss told me to shut it down, after that I haven't opened a server snce, I think it was 8.42 Mystic
 
All I can really do is map, I haven't played with scripts in ages, then again I haven't mapped in ages too
 
I suck at scripting too, I can't even write crafting system with different amount of ingredients per recipe

about mapping: I realised that players prefer map they already know, therefore I've abadoned all of my old custom maps and decided to edit evo heavily instead(link in my signature), I've released basic datapack so far, fully working one will be released once my work on it will be done. I don't care for profits, I'm going to share my data with otlanders to start new generation of RPG/fun evolution servers, I still believe that some users here can make good servers.
 
I'd share it only with people you know or think wouldn't just run and download then charge for VIP shit...

You are the part of this generation as well.
You are the part of the OTCommunity we all make.
So if everybody complained about how bad the current owners were, the situation would be obvious?

What? He doesn't own a server therefore he's not a server owner and therefore he's not a part of this gen of server owners.
 
Maybe if you search around a bit, you'll see that people are actually working on such projects, but because the same hypocritical base of players that wants custom servers so bad are actually players of those download-run servers, custom servers keep dying out. I know of servers that have been worked on for years (my own one can be taken as an example), yet have not even nearly as much players as the "lame RL map OTs" that you all play have.

I just opened the Jobs and Discussion section, and I already found (this, this, this, this, this, this,... do you want me to list more?) many servers and custom projects that are being worked on. It's like you people don't wanna see any of this and just whine about the negative things. Go support a project or even better - join its team if you can do something useful. Just 1 new follower means a lot to someone who actually puts effort in their work.

Jesus fuck.

No reason to be harsh now, maybe because a lot of the custom servers haven't been opened or close not to long after...

No, I am part of the 8.42 gen thank you, I am part of this community but I do not support the download and run + VIP donations bull shit, and trust me, OTLand went through a HUGE moment where they all complained about it, I was part of it.

Not trying to be harsh, but it has to sound like that when it's true. I see people highlighting the problem of massive RL-map servers all the time, but no one ever highlights the fact that if there were no fans of RL-map and all those players showed interest in supporting and playing custom OTs - there would be no RL maps. So instead of saying

and kinda putting accent here on server owners, the server audience should be addressed instead. It's not the fault of RL map owners that people massively buy into that kind of worthless shit and they earn easy money on it - they see an opportunity to earn some cash here, so why not.

It takes a lot of time, patience, knowledge and dedication to create a quality custom server - and there's a lesser amount than I'm glad to say of such people in the current community. Low interest, low income, low playerbase... those things ain't gonna attract anyone and pull them into putting such effort to create that kind of server.

YET - people still somehow do it, and I applaud you all. So as I said, if anyone is still wondering how you can help - join or support a project you like, that's all. (Also, there is a number of nice custom servers currently online, search them up, it's not like everything is dead, you just have to find it)

You see I disagree, when playing servers I hate being completely LOST in a map.
that being said, i love custom maps, if there layed out right, with the right amount of scripting i feel they arent daunting at all.
Thats what Im aiming for in my project anyways, if you really want to start a 100% custom ot you should hit me up.

I'll turn the server on for ya if you wanna see what weve done.

Nobody says you can't make a good 8.42 otserver yourself instead of complaining about how the other ones are bad?
See, it's obvious that the current majority of servers is a huge pile'o'shit, but repeating that over and over won't help the situation, will it?

If there was a team dedicated enough, working full-time on an otserver, I believe they would be able to pull off one of the greatest otservers within months.
