How to Make a Failed RO PServer

[Novus Orbis]

I would say our server is doing pretty well!

Step Seven:
Make all of your old friends GMs, and give them all @item.

What could possibly go wrong? This allows them to make items whenever they feel like it!

This is what's wrong with OblivionRO

Could I have some more information on this? You could PM me if you'd like.

Edit: Ah, sorry, just re-read your post on server reviews. I would tend to disagree on the Gamemaster corruption part (I believe we actually have a really strong and understanding team of GMs). I had checked the logs in the past and the GM you were referring to (I assume [GM] Vein, or Pi) hadn't actually given out items or buffed other players. If you have more specific information, please PM me. I do however agree with you about the elitist players, however, you will most likely encounter elitist jerks on any server.

Step Five:
Buy harmony before launch.

Why pay $400 for something you don't really need yet(or arguably ever)? Man, lots of the best sites have it. That encourages people to play. I can't count the number of times I've played on a server because of Harmony... Well, I'm sure someone has.

One thing that always confused me about this post: Everything is written very sarcastically, meaning do means don't, but here, you state they should buy harmony but under the sarcasm that means they shouldn't buy harmony. Is there something wrong with harmony that I'm not aware of?

It basically means, you are stupid if you pay $400 for something you prolly won't even use anymore because your server will go down. Or rather said, you would be stupid if you buy something for a project where you even don't know if people will like it. (sorry for my bad english)
ElariaRO has a good slogan "from small beginnings come great things". I was totally against spending hundreds of dollars into our project from the very beginning - Why? Because even though you might believe your server will have success you never know it.
Now, that we know that our project is good we can buy stuff to improve it. (:

I hope I am allowed to write stuff like this here. If not I apologize~

You can add:

Make everything personal

So a player told you the forum s*cks? Ban the sh*t out of him. LOL.
So a player told you he experiences lag from his coutry? Trash talk him.
Don't believe that your server needs improvement, your server is the best server in the world and the players are all just bunch of free loader.

Get someone who has no idea about the game to become an administrator.

Sounds like the logical process of a Yrvine server

Also, to add to this comprehensive guide, I present Step Eighteen

Make a new server and go over the same 17 steps with a new server and admin name.
