Character with FO set. unfair to others
Character with FO set. unfair to others
If they are GM's it's not bad, but if they are admin's friends, that's not fair. :)Originally Posted by JoniverPH
left because to make my own private server :D
I hate servers which have reset system, mu was never intended to have resets. I just hate to play with overpowered 32k or even 64k stats. Another thing what makes me leave is related with 64k/32k stats - you have to spend hours to get to max stats and getting each reset is the same and boring(spawn in Lorencia, kill spiders, get till Arena, kill uber mobs, go to web and start all over).
I hate how bias the treatment in Insania Mu is...
I was in the community for like 2009 till now. And they restarted the server and wipe everything out and they won't even give us at least a reward for spending a lot of time in-game, they only brought back the items of the donor.
I hated that kind of server now I'm gonna leave.

What makes me leave and has made me left MU Online private server:
- Donation Rewards, Web Shops, Web Cash, anything to do with money, really.
- Poor Server Quality, quality in terms of things such as bugs, settings, customizations, ideas, balance, etc.)
- Poor Community (weakly presented forums without enough required features such as media sharing, live chatting, other interactive features and applications)
- Poor Server Management (Uptime, lags, staff team and members, etc.)
- Centralized MU Servers (Non-English speaking players, eg: brazilian mu server without 99% brazilian speaking players).
A good friends once told me that some things are better when their free. And MU Online private servers should be one of those things. It's supposed to be a hobby on the side, while you have a real job and source of income, and some of that income goes to your hobby.
Imagine your hobby is collecting old black and white movies in DVD. That;s going to cost you. Once you bought those DVDs, have you made money off them? No, you're collecting them, they got on the shelves, or something.
Same with MU Online private servers. Its a hobby. It costs to host, pay coders, purchase hardware and software for server, etc. But its your hobby, and its going to cost some money, just like collecting DVDs, books, paintings, whatever.
MU Online servers should be 100% free. Topsite voting rewards is as far as I would ever go.
Why I left and started hosting instead...
How I run my server
1) I DO have reset system, but 10 is max.
2) I don't use a website, all commands are in-game,
and acc. reg. is in launcher
3) Only players who are invited, gets the link to the client
(This way the referring player vouches for the new one)
4) Donating is an option on the server as well, BUT, not for items
(Only to cover expenses, if players want to keep server alive,
Its been running 8 years now^^)
5) There are only BASIC items in shops and NO jewels
(Jewel drops are adjusted fairly, and from e.g..Heart of love, only
jewels drops, so worth hunting, but still moderately)
6) Spawn points are nice to have, but too many mobs climbing from the
same hole, makes the server lag, so spend a great deal of time on
NOT doing so.
7) Players are "forced" to party, if they wanna hunt high end items,
and the use of ENERGY ELF is actually needed here, instead of all
players just being selfish and KS all the time, because they are
strong and maxed (NOT HERE ^^)
8) All GMs wears Exc Leather +0+Reflect and no more, not even wings
we don't need better stuff, as we don't "HUNT" With our GM anyway.
So in general, we have a super balanced server, no more than an average of
100 players online (Probably due to the "Invite only" thing)
but everyone haves fun, chats ALOT, party's ALOT and all in all we have
a SUPER community, everybody helps each others. We don't run automates
ridiculous events, we fix a bug when reported and occasionally we have an
event or two, but mostly, we, The GMs, spend our time in-game on normal
characters, and yes players mostly DO KNOW who those chars are, but respects
the fact that we like to play too :O)Bugs are only reported on the forums,
but that's REALLY Rare, as we DO know how to fix them he he.
And to stay on topic, I totally agree with the rest of you guys in all
you write, and hope that some of the Owners here actually reads what's
going on :O)
Did I forget to mention my stats... Guess I did
8 years, NO Wipes, maybe a few setbacks (max 24 hours)
No special treatment of players ALL are equal
And GROWN UPS running the server, I Own it and are the youngest
^^41 Y.O now, its a real family server, we have dad's and mom's playing
with their kids here and wish to keep it this way. Most players are
Scandinavian BUT the used language on the server is ENGLISH, and
That's more or less the only rule we have, besides those regarding
scams and cheats :O)
Main server: 50x Exp. Drops 10%
VIP server: 20x Exp. Drops 2%
(We only use this server to bug-fix and meet as GMs)
In short, all players have the same possibilities
Anyway, back to you guys, hope you feel inspired :O)
All the best, and happy gaming

Well few years ago I played private servers. Mostly max ones, and after time they got reseted and all was lost.
Now already for few years I am hosting and managing private servers myself.
And i can't agree to KingLordMaster about:
Because how are you gonna manage server and make it better if you won't have funds?
I was using cracked files all the time and yes they are mainly shit..
But few months ago I bought license from TitansTech and i don't regret it.
So tell me how could i ever get licensed files if there were no donations in server?
ppl who are asking for items all the time, cheats, no lifes which are playing all the fu**ing time and killing others, foreign languages (specially brazil .l.)
Like he said - buy it with money you earn on your real job. Mu Online hosting is ahobby. Only Webzen are and CAN be serious with this, but we...NO. If we want to make something that brings money, gather team and make your own MMO-RPG. Mu Online is webzen's and they know better what is good and what is bad.
Well sure it is hobby. But hobby that brings some cash is better hobby. =)
migrating your sever to combined with an ALL GM ALL ITEMS NO CHALLENGE SEVER
T_T pyro mu what a sell out
Cheaters!
You guys are complaining about servers having webshops to get cash.
Do you know what it costs and the time it takes to set up a good, stable server? They don't pop-up over night.
A good server costs ALOT, but if you choose to run one, you
should be able to afford it, right? You cant launch a server,
get players and then start charging for the server to stay alive.
That's why alot servers come and go, and probably the reason
to wipe all and start over on a new server. Players should
have the feeling of stability WITHOUT the server relying on
donations.
In short, If you cant afford to run a server,
don't start one in the first place...
Anyway, that's my opinion..
/Keep
