Developer Gold?

[iSlayer]

If I buy Dev Gold 6 Months what does it give me?
Please answer these questions

1.How long do I get gold for if any?
2.How long does my server stay online?
3.Do I have to be running a Gserver to keep it online?

I think you need to like pair up with other developers or something dumb like that :X

You don't get regular gold. You'll have 'gold' access to your server only.

6 months for the 6 month package...

You don't personally run the GServer. Once you pay for Dev Gold, the server appears in the serverlist, hosted by Graal Online.

^ This
But when the 6 months runs out, and the server disappears from the list, everything is saved. If you get more Developer Gold time, everything you did will still be there whether you get the subscription 1 month or 1 year+ after it expires.

You will be able to use the Remote Control as you'd have full gold access to your own server with the developer subscription but not for any other servers.

You can access them as a trial but there will be restrictions (head limit, observer mode, etc). You will be able to access the server fully from the account you upgrade with.

Ok, can't wait till wednesday when the server will be up

It'll happen when it happens, Stefan/unixmad probably just has to wait till the payment is approved, and then manually approve it themselves.

Don't think so, i payed, and a couple of minutes later tops it was online,
basically it already is online as a developer# server, and is just renamed.

Now we're at the subject of servers. when i bought my sever a couple of people, were all assgined as staff, before i had even done anything. Atleast they were assigned as staff in the server options, anyone any clue why? Remnants of an old server?

There should only be remnants of an old server if you rented a server on that account before.

Never hired a server before, but there were staff assigned, and alot of staffguilds, but that's normal i guess.

[Bell]

Yea, thats pretty weird, I just checked a few of the dev servers in waiting and all server ops are completely blank. I think they just normally put up a default set when rented.

[iSlayer]

rofl, even people from Graal Reborn are reading this

[Imperialistic]

too late but you shouldn't of bought a server. =(

Don't waste your money dude. Just telling you now, your server will get no where. There is no help for upcomming servers. You buy a server, make some stuff, get critiqued to hell and back from the players "USUK" "UR SERVER BLOWS" and then it dies. Money wasted, time wasted, everything wasted.

It's incredibly hard to make a succesful server. There are practically no devs, if they are they have their "own" project. I find it rather ironic people complaign about no updates etc from Graal, but do little to nothing to get a server going that everyone will enjoy. In the past 3 years Zodiac is the only server to make it Classic, out of 150+. I'll stick with the odds on this one.

This. But instead of giving up, add your talents to an already existing server.

Then give your friend the advice we just gave you? If he has a good idea, throw it in with Name's project or apply for a job at Era.

That's not really how it happens, of course. You most likely just had a terrible setup if that's how your 'server renting' experience was.

GDT offers assistance as you know, iSlayer. If you get no responses and regard to your requests for development help, contact Soala or a PWA member. I wouldn't listen to some of these discouragements, do what you want, it's your money. Just plan ahead, well.

Have a development team ready (Even if not full sized.)
Development Plans/Direction (Know what you want on your playerworld, instead of making things along the way. Never works out well.)
Storyline

Just a few basics of what i think you should have done before even renting a playerworld, and more info can be found here:
