That's quite a fast one .. why open when the server wont last for even a month -.-.  Delisted.

Yes, i don't know why Peoples Open a Server and then Close that fast.
Maybe GM abusing so no one Join? I don't know.

Let's not be so harsh...!

Of course it's sad to see such a young server die, but after all, sometimes things don't work out as intended, and sometimes running a server ends up being much different from what was expected... And at least judging from the reviews, it doesn't seem like the staff was the root of this server's problem.

A server dies quickly when staffs are not dedicated into their server.

True Story. But if i want to Open a Server i'm looking for a Good interested proffesionel Team.
And not Randoms. Sorry But it's true. But most Hoster think Hey let's Open a RO Server and we get 1000 Players.
But they don't Promote got some Bugs want to be a Legit gamer. Nothing of them work good so Close.

With this server, they opened to cater to a specific playerbase, then one of the GMs turned around and said "we don't need you anymore" to their initial players.

So they quit, the population dropped to like 10, and it is where it is now.  The Admin was like "the server is not dead, just down for maintenance" but that was a while ago, and now the forums are down too.

[Peanut]

Really Sad Story. It's like Okay i don't get 100+ Players so i don't want to host this Server.

It's because their main  reason for putting up a small server is to earn, and not making a big and good community, that's why servers with such owners dies really fast.

[Peanut]

True Story i thought so too
I didn't wrote this because not all Server thinking so. But Most Hoster's are doing a P-Server to Earn.

Actually this server didn't have any donations at all and wasn't opened for money. It was just something a guy put together for a forum all the people frequented on. It mostly ran on player suggestions of what their ideal server would be and nerfed a bunch of things on that as well adding cooldowns to healers, changing line of sight for monsters that people complained about but was ignored. They also had a bad GM that alienated most of the playerbase with bad bot checks by following people around and harassing new players instead of doing more discrete checks, and also jailed most players when they complained about changes or muted them when they had valid points. After a while, they tried to go public with the server to see if they could make it grow since playing on a 20-30 person server wasn't that fun, but they alienated their initial userbase by saying they're not catering to their intial forum/userbase anymore and that they're disassociating themselves with them which got people really pissed off. After more drama, s*** bugs, lack of direction and everyone hating the GM and the absent admin, the server died.

lol DontShootTheMessenger, did the forum survive or it died together with the server altogether, if so there's a lesson learnt =/

The admins said they would bring the server back after some work, then shut the site down completely a few days later.

It used to be http://404ro.no-ip.info/
