    Mainly player count. It is quite rare where any of these servers has any owner who even slightly knows how to create good content. 99% marketing and advertising, player count, hype, false promises, cash shops, very inflated economies that fail after maybe a few months. 1% "good content".

    I have legitimately lost count of the number of times an owner of one of these very very successful leeches has paid me triple digit+ dollar payments to fix a very simple dupe/crash/exploit that requires maybe 2-10 lines of code to fix (no I am not exaggerating 2 lines of code for 400 dollars from an incompetent owner of a 300+ player server).

    The only server that is semi-successful where I can actually somewhat vouch for the developers/owners is Onyx, and even they are not the most successful, but if you are judging purely on content quality and sheer amount of content, they are by a landslide the highest. The rest of the high quality developers who are capable of producing the best content do not have successful servers due to not being cancerous clickbait hype machines (https://i.imgur.com/LKePyoZ.png).

    Alora is just a great, stable server all around. Zenyte I gave a shot, it's coded and done very nicely, very smooth gameplay. Ikov I've really never been too much of a fan of just because of the graphics etc and the bossing and things like that, I was never a big fan of nex and that era of bosses and whatnot.

    What makes it the best is an enjoyable gameplay, which mostly consists of a big playerbase, followed by everything else, such as content, little bugs, decent economy, decent website etc..

    Personally, I wouldn’t say they’re the best - I’d say they're top goat. But the content that makes good rsps top goat is longevity and understanding what people want. Those kind of skills are learned by hosting your server and fixing the mixtapes. Over and over.

    Pretty simple as everyone has stated you must have good marketing that is #1 even trash servers go far with good marketing. #2 is good development & management.

    It can't be content only, it can't be marketing only, and it can't be good owner only. Everything must sum up with a great rating of 9/10 at least in each aspect in order to craft a top server. You must think long-term and pack your server with content that's bug free and is in high quality, you must keep a healthy economy, and last but not least you must advertise the server the right way. Owning a spot like Redemption @ rune-server home page is 11/10, maintaining a professional vibe requires lots of effort, patience, dedication and discipline.. it doesn't matter how many times you fail because at the end of the day failures are just a stepping stones towards success. You can't get it right at the first time but if you keep trying you will eventually get there!
