guess who

[18.04.2014 0:57:19] Ingu: You there?
[18.04.2014 1:44:28] Plural @RSR: yes
[18.04.2014 1:46:19] Ingu: why
[18.04.2014 1:46:25] Ingu: Aint you doing anything with Rune2006
[18.04.2014 1:46:33] Ingu: You have an opportunity to grow it HIGH.
[18.04.2014 1:46:40] Plural @RSR: how exactly?
[18.04.2014 1:46:47] Plural @RSR: What oppurtunity?
[18.04.2014 1:46:52] Ingu: You actually aint advertising it.
[18.04.2014 1:47:03] Plural @RSR: HOnestly, I don't have time
[18.04.2014 1:47:11] Plural @RSR: I need to code loads of stuff
[18.04.2014 1:47:15] Plural @RSR: and my exams are in 4 weeks
[18.04.2014 1:47:31] Plural @RSR: The project has been running for a pretty long time now
[18.04.2014 1:47:33] Ingu: So you hire some coders.
[18.04.2014 1:47:35] Ingu: Yes.
[18.04.2014 1:47:40] Plural @RSR: I don't have money for coders
[18.04.2014 1:47:41] Ingu: But every time I check how many people are there online.
[18.04.2014 1:47:44] Ingu: It's max 5 (worry)
[18.04.2014 1:47:46] Plural @RSR: It's not so easy
[18.04.2014 1:47:50] Plural @RSR: either I restart it
[18.04.2014 1:47:54] Plural @RSR: and hype it u
[18.04.2014 1:48:01] Plural @RSR: and get 3000 new poeople to sign up
[18.04.2014 1:48:02] Plural @RSR: in a week
[18.04.2014 1:48:08] Plural @RSR: then let them log on all at once
[18.04.2014 1:48:13] Plural @RSR: that always works out but
[18.04.2014 1:48:20] Plural @RSR: I personally hate hype
[18.04.2014 1:48:32] Plural @RSR: thus why I launched rune2006 without it
[18.04.2014 1:48:42] Plural @RSR: also, I advertised around 100 bucks total
[18.04.2014 1:48:46] Plural @RSR: it's not that easy
[18.04.2014 1:48:50] Plural @RSR: It costs loads of money
[18.04.2014 1:49:03] Plural @RSR: and I currently don't have time for it so
[18.04.2014 1:49:21] Plural @RSR: Trying to get a better CPU atm on this machine
[18.04.2014 1:49:23] Plural @RSR: only 1 core
[18.04.2014 1:49:37] Plural @RSR: but anyways, of course I'd have liked it to be a success
[18.04.2014 1:49:56] Plural @RSR: but honestly, hard to combine woith studies, irl life
[18.04.2014 1:50:03] Plural @RSR: and hiring coders isn't really a thing
[18.04.2014 1:50:08] Plural @RSR: unless it makes me money
[18.04.2014 1:50:11] Plural @RSR: in some way or another
[18.04.2014 1:50:26] Plural @RSR: I'd be more inclinded to code fast and quick projects if I were to hire coders
[18.04.2014 1:50:29] Plural @RSR: apps for example
[29.04.2014 18:36:30] Plural @RSR: why whatever?
[29.04.2014 18:37:33] Ingu: There's not even a chance to reconstruct the server, ever.
[29.04.2014 18:37:54] Plural @RSR: Well yea
[29.04.2014 18:37:58] Ingu: I can't do it alone, not even with 5 random members from Rune2006.
[29.04.2014 18:38:11] Plural @RSR: Well honestly
[29.04.2014 18:38:14] Plural @RSR: all we would need to do this si money
[29.04.2014 18:38:17] Plural @RSR: around 3000$
[29.04.2014 18:38:19] Plural @RSR: or so
[29.04.2014 18:38:25] Ingu: I wouldn't care tbh, if I had an opporunity do buy myself a membership into OSRS.
[29.04.2014 18:38:33] Plural @RSR: and a reset
[29.04.2014 18:38:44] Ingu: Okay, and explain me what are you going to do with 3k$
[29.04.2014 18:39:03] Plural @RSR: Simply put, advertising
[29.04.2014 18:39:08] Plural @RSR: advertising is extremely expensive
[29.04.2014 18:39:11] Plural @RSR: but it pays off
[29.04.2014 18:39:20] Plural @RSR: creative-scape spends around 6k$ per month
[29.04.2014 18:39:24] Plural @RSR: on advertising
[29.04.2014 18:39:31] Plural @RSR: and make a little more
[29.04.2014 18:39:36] Plural @RSR: so that puts us to the second part
[29.04.2014 18:39:44] Plural @RSR: I'd inevitable have to charge people money
[29.04.2014 18:39:53] Plural @RSR: because tehre is no way to make it grow otherwise
[29.04.2014 18:39:58] Ingu: They're putting high amounts of cash into this.
[29.04.2014 18:40:08] Plural @RSR: 3K$ is next to no money in business terms
[29.04.2014 18:40:14] Ingu: But they're aiming for like 432895803 people online.
[29.04.2014 18:40:19] Plural @RSR: However, it's hard to put it in yourself.
[29.04.2014 18:40:26] Ingu: I'd be happy if RS2006 had 50-100 people online.
[29.04.2014 18:40:31] Ingu: That would be just fantastic.
[29.04.2014 18:40:31] Plural @RSR: creative-scape?
[29.04.2014 18:40:42] Plural @RSR: 50 isn't really sustainable on the long term
[29.04.2014 18:40:52] Plural @RSR: for a remake to remain active
[29.04.2014 18:40:58] Plural @RSR: we'd need 300+
[29.04.2014 18:41:07] Plural @RSR: tehre is no otehr way people would keep playing it
[29.04.2014 18:41:15] Plural @RSR: as there simply isn't enough economy
[29.04.2014 18:41:24] Plural @RSR: for otehr types of servers taht's a different case.
[29.04.2014 18:41:36] Plural @RSR: creative-scape ahs around 300 on every moment
[29.04.2014 18:41:42] Plural @RSR: and that's what their budgets are
[29.04.2014 18:41:54] Plural @RSR: taht is oen option
[29.04.2014 18:42:04] Plural @RSR: or we could do it the noob-hype way
[29.04.2014 18:42:12] Plural @RSR: which is basically what most remakes did
[29.04.2014 18:42:19] Plural @RSR: they do a reset every 2-3 months
[29.04.2014 18:42:28] Plural @RSR: and create loads of hype
[29.04.2014 18:42:40] Ingu: That's bs.
[29.04.2014 18:42:41] Plural @RSR: then if they don't have a starting budget
[29.04.2014 18:42:44] Plural @RSR: they wilol decline as well
[29.04.2014 18:42:46] Plural @RSR: and restart
[29.04.2014 18:42:50] Ingu: So
[29.04.2014 18:42:52] Ingu: As I can get it
[29.04.2014 18:43:02] Ingu: we don't have a chance at all to do anything.
[29.04.2014 18:43:10] Ingu: There's no way to build it up then.
[29.04.2014 18:43:22] Plural @RSR: as I said
[29.04.2014 18:43:29] Plural @RSR: 2-3k$ isn't taht much
[29.04.2014 18:43:35] Plural @RSR: tehre just needs to be a business plan
[29.04.2014 18:43:48] Plural @RSR: that is basically unbeatable.
[29.04.2014 18:45:14] Ingu: 2-3k isn't much, but your time costs much.
[29.04.2014 18:45:17] Ingu: Which we don't have.
[29.04.2014 18:45:30] Ingu: And if we don't have any coders who would construct the server also
[29.04.2014 18:45:36] Ingu: We don't have anything.
[29.04.2014 18:46:26] Plural @RSR: Yes, So indeed I can not properly do this alone
[29.04.2014 18:47:29] Ingu: I logged in yesterday and talked with a person, asked him why he's still playing it, he told me, that's the best remake right now. Then I was like, here's only like 5 people online, always been like so.
[29.04.2014 18:47:36] Ingu: So he told me, that they hit 50 actually.
[29.04.2014 18:47:44] Ingu: I was really impressed.
[29.04.2014 18:47:56] Ingu: Now, what I want to say with that, was the lack of updates what made people leave.
[29.04.2014 18:48:09] Ingu: If we already had 50, we could've forced them to start voting via. voting rewards.
[29.04.2014 18:48:20] Ingu: = more people. Here's your business plan.
[29.04.2014 18:49:41] Plural @RSR: The fact is, people outgoing was about the same in %
[29.04.2014 18:49:45] Plural @RSR: When I still did updates
[29.04.2014 18:49:46] Plural @RSR: But honestly
[29.04.2014 18:49:54] Plural @RSR: It's not realistic to do a lot of updates
[29.04.2014 18:49:57] Plural @RSR: In my case
[29.04.2014 18:50:05] Plural @RSR: Plus, since 07 is out
[29.04.2014 18:50:20] Plural @RSR: That only costs 3-4$ for membership
[29.04.2014 18:50:32] Plural @RSR: And most of the target group can afford that

So, here's the explanation. As I can understand, then if there's 07 out, there's no point updating this and working on the server. Case closed, shut down the server. Rip.
