It goes both ways, I 100% agree that developing is only a part of the job when running a server. It’s just easier to form partnerships the other way around, atleast so I feel personally.

Regardless I wish you nothing but luck finding what you’re looking for - just be vary of people wasting your time. The keywords here being motivation and dedication when money is usually what drives people and that will be absent for the upstart of the project.

Actually I would go further, since the player has no appreciation beyond the immediacy of content almost all of the actual 'drawing players into' the game comes from good marketing, and it is this that makes the profit for both the developer and the manager. I'm not as pessimistic as Optimism is, I think you will find someone who's only interest is in the development side. It is after all an investment and you do plan on paying them after profit has been made.

More of this ^ in this community would be dope

As per my definition, a partnership doesn't mean you're looking to piggyback off of someone else's work, but rather put your work in together, looking for an equal outcome. If you've every ran a successful server, you'd know that development is 50% of it (if not less). The rest is branding, marketing & management, which Stable happens to be incredible at doing.

what fucking shit are you talking? it's 90% coding. It's not hard to market, takes 1 hour to set things up. Coders spend a lot more time coding than others spend marketing and other stuff

to clarify: you can have 4 developers and 1 manager

You've never actually been in the management position, have you?

I can vouch for Stable. He's been a client of mine for a long time and has always been reliable and transparent.

His word is good.

Good luck man!
