    With that income you can promote yourself to reach the top 20/15 and once you reach that the player base will grow on its own.
    Can say we held top 2-3 for over a year and our monthly expenses were only around the 3-4k mark. A server with just 50 concurrent players is able to sustain that, assuming we exclude the factor of paying the developers in these calculations(which quickly becomes a very subjective thing - some people are down to work for nothing, some owners have 5 devs to pay, each of whom drain you 3k+ a month and so on...)

    Contrary to popular belief... you do not need to stack your shop up with a ton of items to empty the wallets of your players. That is a choice servers make - but you can't blame them; the vast majority of players allow it. Matter a fact, your players will complain if the donation shop isn't up to par to nowadays "standards" - I've been there.

    Regardless though, good luck on the release. Surprised they let you keep the thread in this section too, lol. This never happens.

    That's exactly what I was going about, a server costs roughly 3/5k a month. And that money has to come from somewhere.
    I agree the shop shouldn't be filled with OP items, but there should be at least some items worth buying.

    The very endgame semi custom items aren't on that box, nor any of the upgrades from hard mode content. I made sure the endgame can't be reached without playing the game.

    F2P and deadman pre-eoc gamemodes aren't unique either considering the server isn't a pure pre-eoc server to begin with. A vanilla pre-eoc server with no cache modifications and custom items/OSRS/rs3 content would be unique in the RSPS market and is definitely something that I would participate in playing. Otherwise it just looks like pretty much every "pre-eoc" server out there. Go down the RSPS lists and look for a server like that. It simply doesn't exist. However, there are countless countless 718 loading rs3 or 718 loading osrs or even 718 loading both rs3 and osrs out there. Getting tiresome to me personally. Especially considering it's impossible to find servers that aren't entirely motivated by squeezing money out of people.

    The players who gripe and complain about Treasure Hunter or Squeal of Fortune yet play these private servers have no right to complain about predatory MTX from Jagex because RSPS MTX severely severely outweighs anything Jagex has ever done at this point.
    I didn't say there's a f2p game mode, all game modes are free to play. I meant our spawn zone has no spawn restrictions for free players unlike other spawn servers, also as for making a 718 mix with OSRS data that was my idea over 5 years ago in 2017, others then copied my concept, not my fault.

    Just because bis items are not included in boxes doesn't make it not pay to win. Pre-EoC cache has hundreds and hundreds of cosmetics which are not nearly as predatory and cancerous as outright adding boss drops to a donator box. No need to even make custom items to dip into the cosmetic sales.

    And yes, I knew what you meant by the f2p PK zone. I was just mixing up the words game mode and minigame which is just a lack of clarity on my part.

    Exactly this. I am absolutely blown away by how the RSPS playerbase who flamed Jagex for adding squeal of fortune and continue to dickride OSRS for not having treasure hunter will actively lube up their assholes to get bent over the table and reamed by RSPS owners with MTX more predatory than anything Jagex has ever dreamed of. I get people who login to my server and ask to buy things all the time and are annoyed they can't pay to win. Just go play literally anything else then. The servers without donator p2w shops are like a tiny drop in the ocean when it comes to RSPS.

    Ah, I was banned for grinding fishing bait at the time for some rigged contest. Was going to take a look but I guess not!

    It's a new discord but I kept track of bans to reduce toxicity as no one was banned without a valid reason from my old discord.
