thyDelay 0 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) As many of you, i've played metin2 for along time, and i have some ideas that i wish to see but have no idea how. and probably too lazy to learn all the tricks... however i might be able to fund a server, or simply hire people to make it happen. i've been doing some research and i still can't find a good estimate of how much it might cost or how many devs i need.. and how much it cost to MAINTAIN it. help? thanks.

Ballads 19 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) 1- Select which base you will use for your server. MartySama or Owsap are the best known and most reliable currently if you want a stable and secure server, but they also have TMP4 reference server files that are free and available here on the forum. 2. Plan exactly how you want your server. Experience, Drops, Maps, Dungeons, Events... everything... 3. Do you want to add new systems? Whether to improve gameplay and QoL, server protection, new content in general. There are many here in the group that are 100% free, but there is also the option of purchasing systems made by developers here in the community around the world. Avoid using any leaked material on the internet, in addition to taking away the support of serious developers, they usually contain bugs and errors that were intentionally made by scammers and if you don't have enough knowledge in programming, you will have to hire them again to correct the errors For you, this opens a huge gap for them to steal your files. 4. When you have a base ready, you can open the server for testing by hiring cheap VPS hosting. This is a very short summary. We still need to talk about autpatcher, protections, web page, etc. I started studying programming and developing my server about 1 year ago and gained a lot of experience and knowledge here in the community. If you need any tips let me know and I can give you some. My discord: rt_ballads Edited December 17, 2023 by Ballads 3 -> 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b6d4a82c15 104 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 That depends on a lot of factors but generally you're looking at 5000-10.000USD if you're talking about a fully fledged server with custom graphics, nice website, some custom systems and efficient marketing. Maintenance will cost whatever you're paying your developer + ~50-100USD for infrastructure. It's a wild guess because it all depends on the type of your server, your abilities, negotiation skills and overall knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
