ALL of them.Īnd if that was the real case? I don't think vendetta would host a game that no one has ever heard about and looks atrocious. However we are talking MULTIPLE servers that got shut down from vendetta. Even though they aren't around as much anymore. Like I said, I have the same source files from 8 years that support no players but I still keep them up to keep the players that DID play a nostalgia feel. As long as bash is smart with the Donation/Vote shop, People will love it. There are people who will FLOCK to that as they would wish to stay away from aeria games as much as possible. Vendetta was the only server to my knowledge that has a Scarlet Blade source file. Server only closes down if the owner decides they want it to close. I know vendetta makes plenty enough money as I doubt Bsh is coding all these servers out of thin air and being functional. If you can't afford a server without donations, you shouldn't have one.

Server does not need to run on donations. After I got a job, I pay out of pocket without asking a dime to the community. I used ADs or Iphone apps to pay off my web domains. Like I said I hosted a server for 8 years. Unless you buy a server box at home and just get really good nets. I've been running private servers for multiple games over the course of 8 years now and I STILL host my dead servers that no one has been playing.Ģ. Donations are perks and a profit for the owner to spend on tampons or something, it's not a necessity as you put it.ġ. A young teenager with no life and job can't keep the server running, however someone with a solid job/career will not shut down a server just because his monthly donations didn't come in. OT: Could you do something to reduce the amount of lagg in-game? Driving me crazy :xActually it all depends who runs the server. OT: Could you do something to reduce the amount of lagg in-game? Driving me crazy :x But if the player-base is still 200+, except it to be up and running. Now in 6 month if the player base drop down to 10-20 daily with no donations coming in, expect it to be closed down.

Like at the moment there are 200+ daily players playing EE. but again, they are coming back with more awesome servers. I get why VG closed so many of their servers. EVERY server no matter which game you play will close down as soon as there are no donations funding it to be up and running. They closed down Scarlet blade because they player base dropped like hell without anyone donating to keep it alive, don't sit and expect another outcome of it. Players = Donations = Server up and running. So tell me again how you would keep a server runing with 15-25 players and no donations when the costs are 150-250$/month?

To pay the server cost you will need donations. Servers are based on the community and player-base.įor a server to keep running you will need to pay the server costs. Ok to all of you that is complaining about VG closing down their servers and think running a private server is easy, here is something for you to think about.
