Hi likcyker or ansucker or backstabber whatever you go by these days!
Also the name says clearly RebirthRO and your Rebirth Romanian or something crappy i am allowed to Reply To this as i am the official owner of http://rebirthro.com
Have fun with your expensive hosting.
All big servers are hosting ovh novaro limitro and so on! there quality is fine! so your saying they are piece of crap to ?
You can hardly maintain a server pathetic figure!
Your server consists of 80 percent auto-vendors.
The players you currently have on your server are unaware because there fooled easy.
There's no substance any of our maintenances (HAHA) 
You see what you want to see because you are a psychopath!
What you're good at is cumming over your hardware! and write blogs in which you promise things that you never live up to.
2000 dollar on a web server 
but you have no visitors ? https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/rebirth.ro
Also your forum has zero activity ? https://community.rebirth.ro/
Also remember when you kicked me out and told me goodluck on your 5 man server?
you did not expect me to grow bigger than you and so many people would follow me!
There will certainly be people who believe you or your followers but people on my server know better not to trust you!
The moment I left, 80% of your server wanted to run away as fast as possible
I was laughing so hard when that happened 
Please write even more nonsense how you are the savior or Rebirth Romanian!
Haha. Ok. Name calling now, how sad. And yes, they have issues with lag too. But, they actually are paying for the more expensive hardware, so not as bad. Still, OVH isn't quality hosting by any standard. It's budget. OVH themselves don't even claim to be quality, they specifically point out they are cheap, so trying to defend them as quality makes no sense.
You say the server is 80% auto venders? It's actually around 30% during peak and 40-45% during off-peak. Of course, then there are revival's numbers, which have dropped 100+ over what they were just weeks ago. Probably that corruption going on in your staff. I'm sure your buddies you hired as staff deny that there's any of that though, but the players that have returned from Revival after they found out RebirthRO still exists as Rebirth.RO sure do tell me some funny stories about WoE over there and how your GMs ban people they don't like but let their friends break whatever rules they want.
You aren't bigger, and I can see by your actions you aren't making enough money. 20 euro for a donor box? Ha. And your content patches are laughable. Your ratio of changes to the length of time to make those changes is about 1 week to 1 work day. That's 8 hours for every week between maintenances.
You link Alexa all the time, for years now, like you think it means something? You realize that's just people who use their browser extension. I don't think I know a single person that uses their extension. They even say right on their site as a disclaimer that their statistics aren't relevant to sites that aren't insanely popular (i.e. youtube). I remember back when I was doing Sereon it said I had like no visitors, so I installed the extension and a month later it was saying I had 100's of thousands. It's just extrapolated data from their comparatively small sample size of people using their browser extension. It's not accurate for small or even medium-sized sites.
As for who owns what server, well, the data is the server. If you want to argue a domain is a server, well, sad news for you: try these domains:
https://rebirthro.net,
https://rebirthro.orgAnd hey, you keep calling your server RevivalRO? But it's not RevivalRO, RevivalRO would be like
https://revivalro.net but oddly that domain doesn't go to your site? Hmmm? Strange.
No one uses forums anymore, we all use Discord. But alright. While I do not measure the success of a server in dollars, or even in player count, you seem to have an odd focus on that. I try to provide the best possible experience I can for players. That's my goal. Your goal is and always will be to find the most profitable way to run a server. You cut the hosting to "save money" and lost 1/3rd of your income -- twice what the hosting cost you. You saved nothing, you lost. You continued to cut corners and cut funds, decreasing the quality of the server so you could keep more money for yourself. I, on the other hand, do the exact opposite.
After the ordeal, people were reluctant to donate because they weren't sure if the server would last. I paid the bills myself. I don't care if the server makes tons of money, I don't set a ridiculous 30,000 euro a month income target like you do. I don't expect an RO server to buy me a million euro house. The only thing I want is a fun server. I spend as much of the donation money as I can on the server. We got an expensive server simply because we could. I had the server connected via fiber simply because I could. I put all the money I can back into the server to make the server better whereas you took as much as you possibly could and just gave the server enough to stay afloat and barely running.
Yeah, I bragged about the hardware. You know why? We actually
have hardware worth bragging about. No, we didn't need the fancy hardware, but it opens up a lot of possibilities for us. Possibilities I'm still working on. Quality content takes time, content you just take from public scripts and tweak doesn't take time. That's why I said your maintenances are nothing but fluff. You're just passing off unoriginal content as major additions. The only reason you get away with that is most of the people on your server don't know anything about renewal, so when you tweak a renewal script and add it they actually think it's custom.
And yeah, I remember. I also remember you telling me I'd make less than I did. I make the same. I take the same pay I took before. The rest goes back into the server. The fact that I can buy a $2300 game server, $2600 web server, purchased a LiteSpeed owned license ($800), etc, all while dropping $1300/month on various hosting fees and a bunch more on things like ads and stuff means we aren't successful? I mean sure, if I use your standard of "30,000 euro a month" then no, we aren't successful. But by my standards, we are very successful. I love this server, I don't care if it makes money. If it stops making enough money to pay the hosting fees I'll just pay them myself. Unlike you, RO is not my sole source of income. I'm more than capable of covering
my server's expenses.
Like I said, I don't value a server for how much money it makes me. I value a server for what it is. For the people on it. For the good times. I like talking with the players and trying to make fun things for them to do. I like creating things for the staff to use to help the players as well. Whether the server has 10,000 people or 100 people I don't care. As long as the people we have are enjoying themselves it's all good to me. I only advertise here on RMS, I don't spam Facebook or send out 20 emails a day begging people to play. If they want to play they can play, if they don't want to then don't. I don't care. Rebirth.RO is now and forever what it is. Until RO is long abandoned and Windows has been updated to the point that the client no longer runs on it, Rebirth.RO will be standing.
P.S. I pay the entire senior staff now as well, including the GMs. You need to pay to keep quality people. We lost too many good GMs simply because the burden of GMing stopped being worth it for them. Not anymore. You barely have any of your original staff left, you're on your like 3rd rotation of GMs and your server isn't even 6 months old yet. I still have the same staff members I had when this all started, in fact, these are the same people we've had for a few years now. We have good people that actually care about the server and aren't just in it for the power tripping rush. I pay them because I value the time they put in, I value their consideration for the server, and I want them to stay. That's something you never could comprehend, and I know this will fall on deaf ears with you because I've been trying to tell you that for a decade now and you still haven't gotten it. You just stick to the mentality that GMs will work for free so no need to pay them, but there's a difference between someone with the title of GM and someone that actually cares about the players and wants to actually make a difference.
2000 USD for a web server? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!
Enlighten me, which company do you buy it from?
1000 USD for a month "QUALITY" host? Wtf?
That's a waste of money there for server income....or you are making things up?
Yes. The web server is a dual socket 8-core Xeon (16 cores) w/64GB of ECC RAM. I have another 64GB waiting to be added, I have it on hand but I'm waiting for when we go to add more disks to add it to save on downtime. The total hosting fees are around $1300/month. $1000 goes to our main host, we also have Cloudflare's business plan which is $200, and the remaining $100 is for misc hosting like Mediafire premium, etc. I admit this is
extremely overkill, but our website flies because of it. We make extensive use of caching, using Memcached for much of the content. We also make use of Cloudflare's Railgun technology. For the forums, we use ElasticSearch to speed up searching. I've been rewriting much of the site to be even faster, the web server is fairly new as we just got it at the start of this month. I haven't had the time to fully take advantage of all the increased resources yet, but it's all in the works.
RebirthRO = http://RebirthRO.com
Rebirth Romanian domain = http://Rebirth.RO
How is the data loss my fault ?
Ancyker moved all data to other servers wiped my drives.
We worked whole month to restore the database sadly that failed! we could only restore the logins.
From the donation level we could do a donor compenstation.
And yes we want to be totally different server than his!
Next time just Mention Rebirth.RO no RebirthRO and that everything is clear.
Ok, you typed this while I was writing the above. For the record, you could have gotten the data back. We had binary logging enabled and you had a backup within the range of the logging. There was also a backup in a different folder than your original post showing where the person looked. Of course, I know part of you wanted to wipe anyway, so maybe you knew that and decided this was a good excuse to do it without looking like it was your idea.
For the record, I do tend to correct people when they call it RebirthRO, it is officially called Rebirth.RO now. Our new logo will reflect this as well. The site is getting a major overhaul next month, so don't worry about that, our sites won't look similar anymore. I know we aren't on good terms and for a very good reason, however, I am trying to be as civil as I can. I try to avoid these kinds of confrontations but if you are going to go on posts about our server just to bring up yours then I am going to respond.
Honestly, I'm a bit calmer now (but I don't care enough to edit what I've already written, so it will remain), so I will say this. I wish things would have gone differently, honestly. I had hoped to eventually convince you that the decisions you were making weren't benefitting the server but you were not listening. I saw something that myself and many others had worked so hard on just withering away into nothing. It got to the point where I had to act. I tried to keep you on board and you wouldn't have it. But, that's all done now. It's over. I bear you no ill-will. I'm not out to get you. If you manage to create a successful server then so be it, I do not wish any harm on you or your server. I've been very much trying to stay away. The only reason I know what I know about your server is that players
assume I want to know and tell me. Your staff's actions do give me a good chuckle though, that I admit is fairly entertaining.
Some final, closing words, for you. In the name of our former friendship, I offer you some advice. You're running your new server just like you ran RebirthRO. It's gonna die just like RebirthRO was going to the like dozens of times I had to step in and save it. I'm not there to help you anymore. You need to stop repeating the same mistakes over and over. If you actually want your server to be successful stop worrying about yourself, stop worrying about us, and spend some damn time and money on your own server. Your wasting so much time and effort trying to "prove you're better" when literally no one cares about that but you. Stop wasting both our time and worry about your own stuff. Also, get a better dev than Ema ("KittyBoy"). I know you like him because he's cheap but he's not as good as some of the other devs around. A lot of them are comparatively priced as well. I know you don't have much money anymore, but you gotta spend it to make it. That's something you always had a hard time with. That's all I have to say on the matter. Take the advice or don't, not my server, not my problem.
