[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.

yes pls stop making xofter work like a slave like srsly if mantaining the server costs money and only 5 ppl play y waste your cash? cause of how those 5 would feel? if u really cared about how other ppl feel u woulda done updates but since that is not the case and server-wise u only cared about u y y y YYY keep wasting ur money here? you can donate that money to charity or some shit maybe even save it up to get a better cpu or even better buy cocaine and inject it up your eyes treat ur brain with something good i bet its tired as fuck cause of all those never ending exam periods. y dont u like hype? cause u knew u wouldnt keep up with it? cause u were scared to see ur server go down the drain? cause u thought ppl wouldnt like the end product? i mean, i myself loved playing this half assed server and that can be said by a lot of ppl who played this if ppl were playing this even after 07 was released that should tell u somethin we wanted to play this shit unlike the mods u assigned (sorry got a lil carried away sry dsaun and korn <3) pls if u dont hav the balls to shut it down then jsut dont pay the monthly costs of maintenance horree shet dat is gud idea itll die by itself just dont fucking feed it for a fucking month fuck the updates fuck the server fuck the forums fuck it all its not even worth trolling here anymore god damn #freexofter #drimancomeback2014 #BringBackOurGirls wait shit wrong website
