Thinking about making an RSPS - Need tips <
Depends. I'd say $1-3k To get going, and to stay up to make something back. If you get big, you get noticed by hack forums, and everything else, so you get more traffic, but you also have the possibility of being DDOS'd often, or hacked more often. You'll want a good host that can withstand Ddos attacks without shutting off your services, you'll want to have good developers if you're looking to produce something great(so you'll have to pay them), and you'll have to have a lot of time on your hands to stay active and stuff. There's a few sites out there that will/can basically help you create something/learn. Some tips I could offer is~ 1. Don't Clone another server. Make it something unique, and have some things players don't see often. 2. Don't go money hungry. If the server you create turns out to be a big hit, don't let money rule what you do. Keep close to the community, and see what they want. Even if that means polling updates every week like OSRS, it's good to see an owner that cares about the players, community, and game, not the cash behind it. 3. Be manipulative. As silly as that sounds, you need to be. You need to convince people you have the best product out there. The one that is worth spending time on. 4. Don't have a lot of downtime. Downtime kills a server, whether it be an hour, to two hours. Try to plan updates/server moves at a time where players aren't on. If you do it when a lot of players are on, you lose potential players.(DO NOT UPDATE ON SUNDAYS) 5. Don't get corrupt staff members, developers, or anything else. Corruptness can easily kill a server. 6. Don't be discouraged if you have 5-10 players on a day at the start. That's 5-10 people that are either 1. Enjoying themselves and plan to come back. 2. Enjoying, and potential 'donators'. 3. Enjoying and plan to bring friends. 7. Get some security commands for moderators. This plays a big role later down the road if you get big, and start being attacked. 8. Try not to make players have to register on forums. Although it's good to have an active forum, Rsps players tend to not use forums anymore, and 7 times out of 10, will not even play the game if they have to register. 9. Try having a webclient. Just as with not registering on forums, some players don't like installing a client straight away, which leads to people not even trying the game out. 10. Get ads. This plays a big part in growing. They are not cheap, but picking good ads leads to more players, which leads to more revenue. 11. SEO plays a decent part in owning a server. There's tons more you can do, but it all does require time, effort, and patience. Unless you have Thousands of dollars to throw at Advertisements to get 500+ players in a week or two, you will always have a decently low player count, but can grow. The last one I worked on with a friend had 40-50 players for about 3 months until we had got enough money saved up to buy a decent ad, and we went up to ~150. I wish you good luck.

So.. Whatcha Think?
Does being an original owner really hurt a price on something? Because I've got the original email, and its still under the original email. But damn, if its really that much, that's impressive.

Even with the ban I wouldnt sell it for less then 7m? My opinion on it because fishing is super afkable itself so you don't need to bot sharks.

Bank Was made =)
My first order I did under @Smart and @Trustmybet's service was all F2P quests for @Maldesto. Was 10M for the order, and 1m went to Trust and Smart. Just seeing this on my Feedback made me a little happy inside for awhile thinking I was pretty cool for having an admin on it. Most I've ever made off of one single order. I did do Void order's for Trust making like 4m an order for like 3 weeks so yeah.

Half was bought at $3 3 months ago, the other half was merched from the original 40m. So kind of reselling, except I'm losing $.5-$.7 per 1m on the first 40m sold.

I hate cooking
Top-Ramen with an egg on it, or just top ramen with grated cheese. Sometimes, If I feel really crazy, I'll cook up some hamburger meat and also throw some of that in there. Pretty tasty.
