Private server ( FOR JORB AND LOFTAR )

[Aztekka]

how did you make your server? my cousin is trying to make a private server for a game called maplestory and he wants to know the basics of making a server. What would he need to make one?

If you want a MapleStory private server, you should look it up a lot more.

Making private servers is somewhat illegal, so I'll leave it at 'google it', I've done it before, and it's not hard to find, and not hard to set up.

Also this isn't a private server, it's a game, there is no 'public server' for this to be the pirated private equal of really...

What an interesting question. :)

I dunno how other games do it, but Haven's server is basically the entire game. Making "a server" is, thus, rather equivalent to, quite simply, making a game.

so that means hed have to have some money to make the server? and keep it running?

[loftar]

Money? Why would you think that? Jorb and I have made Haven without using any money.

basically, your friend shall download that server. there are already coded servers for that game, then he must configure it and run. thats basics. don't think jorb or loftar can help you on that, because this is NOT maplestory server.
so in few steps:
1.Find a coded server on internet or write one(i am sure that will be much more difficult, than what loftar did, because , basically he first made concepts and schemes, and then coded it, and you need to write a server for an exisitng client already. involves good programming knowledge and great will to understand how it works, or at least how it should work).
2.Host it
3.Configure connection client-server(which ports should be opened for client to connect to parts of server, like login, map, game.usually they are divided for private servers for most games, not sure about maplestory)
4.Enjoy (site making and other things are optional).
Google it.

Loftar and Jorb should promote the game by making youtube accounts and show themselves working or writing codes to update game or something. and then just try doing little dev shows for the fanbase.

I thought hed need money because it costs money to make games. and thanks for the quick reply. this games bad ass. if you add alittle bit of advertising for the game and maybe quests or something then i think a lot more people would join.
