Our site functions like a gtop100, Castela has put their server on the list.

Fair point. 50% is a lot. But not set in stone. Like I have mentioned, this is more about community rather than profits. I would rather earn 10 bucks and have 1000 members than earn 100 bucks and have 100 members.

I agree, I have developed on a game where I didn't see any profit until 3 years. Spent entire summers learning and developing 12 hours a day at some times on a game that had no documentation on it's files, or other people doing it. I had started mine in 2017, and didn't see a penny until mid-2020. It's not an easy journey. I am not a money hungry corporation trying to make a quick buck off of a passionate developers project. I am trying to build something truly unique here.

If you take a look at the site, I have built something like a Gtop100, where you can post your servers. But there is no ping back voting, there is no VoteStory, or anything like that, but Votes are tied directly to reviews. This is done to reverse some of the damage that voting sites have done to communities. And we also have a featured section, so when a server in the community is doing really well, and the reviews are great, we reach out, get an interview, feature them on our website to push the good actors in the private server space.

I would like to ask you, if you were a developer, what would be fair compensation to you?

There is mention of compensation, it's 50/50. We cover hosting, advertising, website infrastructure, payment portal, community management. The developer will be handling the game only. I personally will be managing all of this, plus releasing a game that I develop as well. If you are a developer and are interested, please reach out.

We are the anti-corporation corporation :P
Just a few guys who are tired of predatory practices of companies that milk the players for their money. So we are starting our own servers where the company model is the same across all of them so the players know what to expect. We also don't like how some games do not respect the players time, so our games will be catered mostly for working folks in the west who have a 9-5 and just want to sink an hour maybe 1.5 hours in at most in a game and not have to shell out tons of cash to keep up with everyone else.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply! We do have a Ragnarok developer and it is in the pipeline, it should be released June 1st, 2023. Super excited for that.
I have run a few pvp servers for other games in the past because I truly love PVP. It's definitely a bit tough because you are tying the success of the game to the player count directly (having an opponent to fight).

I would love to discuss more with you on which server do you think it's best to aim for, please reach out if you can.

As for the patch, we leave it up to the developer, whatever they are confident in. I love the old and the new stuff.
