You think taking care of server is equvalent to running a company?
I doubt you understand what a maid(server) does
If you have been to server development scene, you would understand, server cannot be compared to company. Check out all the server and you would know. Mostly server is owned by a person and have several developers (in case of few servers, they manage everything themself). There's a chance that server have co-admin(s), in case several people are involved in server planning/development.
They're unpaid and volunteers.
Some of GM's and Developers volunteers to join while some are being hired to join. Most likely, in most of the servers, Event GM's and Community Helpers have happily volunteered, and never asked to do so. While Developer's are hired or one of their friends (mostly paid)
Depends which kind of GM you are talking about.
For the past 2 years, the only staff that was paid is the overall Admin - Ancyker
Ancyker was never an Admin (until few days back). Ancyker was paid from when he was hired. not from only 2 years
Ancy's request for payment towards the only other Admin - Phoenix -
Phoenix was also never an Admin (until few days back). I have 1 question, why didn't phoenix ask himself about getting paid? why he continued to provide the service even after not getting paid?
the entire Staff team ousted him for being a burden to the server
Not to mention, everyone got promoted and got paid (maybe greed?)
quality hosting that is lag-free for the first time in 5+ years.
*cough* 5+ years *cough*
If I remember well, Rebirth RO was shifted to OVH maybe 2 year back (Q4 of 2015).
Before that, it was on he.net (Your Currently Loved QUALITY hosting)
I have seen Ancyker's corrupted days.
*cough* Stealing server, Moving silently 2 weeks back, Coup *cough*
hosting lag for YEARS.
*YEARS* , that means you approve that he.net was not good, and you are moving them back there?
I've seen Admins begging players to donate more so they can buy more sprites and expand our server.
*AdminS*, you implying Ancyker and Phoenix, as you mentioned above they are admin, and syphon was continuously online, doing nothing, but AFK.
We'll side with the Staffs that ACTUALLY wants to help us,
Help? or take money?
You were never much around during the development of the server,
being around for development means to be online in game? I guess you would not know MANY Developers who worked for RebirthRO, behind the scenes and had active engagement with both syphon and ancyker.
but he is pretty open about his dislike for filipinos.
Didn't he want to move the server to singapore (Physically close to Philippines, and better ping to Asia). It has better ping to Asia, much better as compared to California (Your Current QUALITY host).
Additionally:
OVH Costed 200$, he.net costs 2k$+ (likely 4k$-6k$), both are having bad pings to Asia. so basically, all your point on host is invalid, as they are moving to same host as they were running 2-3 years back.
OVH had DDoS Protection, he.net not.
Let's say even if we consider server as a company, have you seen CEO engaging with the customers daily? or engaging once a week or once a month? Pretty much not always, if we consider Syphon as CEO, he was right managing the stuff behind the scenes, which is not visible to everyone.
https://imgur.com/a/MjgzjProves who's money hungry.
Besides, lets see server cost(monthly) when syphon was admin, and rebirthRO was on he.net (Your QUALITY host which lagged)
2k$ (he.net Full Rack) + 4-5k$ (DDoS Protection) + Ancyker Payment (1-2k$) + Monthly Developers Payment (> 500$)
Total: 9k$-10k$, Not to mention advertisment which costs more than you think.
Also, If I remember well, when rRO switched to new forums, all old staff left (except Phoenix) and new staff were hired by the rRO (mostly by Ancyker), so you know why and who would support whom.
We can maybe conclude this:
1) Since he was asking for singapore host, he didn't hate fillipino.
2) Cost of server was 9k$-10k$ + Advertisement (few thousand bucks) monthly, so he was not keeping 90% income to himself.
3) InActive InGame doesn't mean inactive for development.
4) Lag has been there from 5+ years (Which includes he.net too).
5) Ancyker was paid much more, may you ask them what was his job? To coup the server?
6) Players will side with staff whomsoever brainwash them?
Note:
1) Also, when you post screenshot, please do so with the dates, Server is 10+ year old, and something might be told way before than we can interpret.
2) I don't hate anyone, let it be syphon or Ancyker. Posted what is supposed to be the truth.
