Re: Darkstar Old-School server

I imagine the server will catch on eventually. EMU communities don't spring up overnight ;p From what I've seen on other game emu's I've tried, EMU's normally start off on easy mode so people can play casually and catch bugs without too much drama / rage. Then as the server becomes less buggy the po...

Re: Come play FFXI The way it used to be

I play on many types of emu's and the solo servers can be fun to play around on for casual gaming. Although I do really enjoy the hard mode servers also. How is your server set up? Does it have fully populated AH, super gil drops , faster exp? or is it mostly a classic retail emulation? If you have ...

Re: Sinister Skies

WoWscape should be a case study of what not to do with an emulator. It was quite obvious that they were not following "fair use" They were making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month as well as actively selling in game currency. Hard to claim you are a non profit with that kind of financials on ...

Re: Sinister Skies

It really depends on how the donations are run. I have played on some emu's where it's obvious the people are trying to profit from the server. While other emu's i've tried are fairly open about their costs. IE provide information on the bandwidth usage and costs for server equipment if it breaks. L...

Re: Sinister Skies

What's wrong with accepting donations?

Many emu's do it. Good one's just have open accounting so people can see the server costs / monthly donations.

It cost's money to run these and one person shouldn't have to bear the entire cost.

My 2 cents anyways.

Re: Wiki List of Known Public Servers

I discovered the ffxi emu's a few days ago. I started playing on a project called Sinister Skies and I didn't see it on your list. It does link back to this project so I think they are related. http://sinisterskies.freeforums.org/index.php Although it does seem to be under DDOS attack a lot. Are the...
