There are people who will FLOCK to that as they would wish to stay away from aeria games as much as possible. Vendetta was the only server to my knowledge that has a Scarlet Blade source file. Server only closes down if the owner decides they want it to close. I know vendetta makes plenty enough money as I doubt Bsh is coding all these servers out of thin air and being functional. If you can't afford a server without donations, you shouldn't have one. Server does not need to run on donations. After I got a job, I pay out of pocket without asking a dime to the community. I used ADs or Iphone apps to pay off my web domains. Like I said I hosted a server for 8 years. Unless you buy a server box at home and just get really good nets. I've been running private servers for multiple games over the course of 8 years now and I STILL host my dead servers that no one has been playing.Ģ. Donations are perks and a profit for the owner to spend on tampons or something, it's not a necessity as you put it.ġ. A young teenager with no life and job can't keep the server running, however someone with a solid job/career will not shut down a server just because his monthly donations didn't come in. OT: Could you do something to reduce the amount of lagg in-game? Driving me crazy :xActually it all depends who runs the server. OT: Could you do something to reduce the amount of lagg in-game? Driving me crazy :x But if the player-base is still 200+, except it to be up and running. Now in 6 month if the player base drop down to 10-20 daily with no donations coming in, expect it to be closed down. Like at the moment there are 200+ daily players playing EE. but again, they are coming back with more awesome servers. I get why VG closed so many of their servers. EVERY server no matter which game you play will close down as soon as there are no donations funding it to be up and running. They closed down Scarlet blade because they player base dropped like hell without anyone donating to keep it alive, don't sit and expect another outcome of it. Players = Donations = Server up and running. So tell me again how you would keep a server runing with 15-25 players and no donations when the costs are 150-250$/month? To pay the server cost you will need donations. Servers are based on the community and player-base.įor a server to keep running you will need to pay the server costs. The Delilah Club, Scarlet Blade’s very own nightclub, also proved to be an extremely popular destination among closed beta participants, offering players a unique social hub where both factions can relax and get a respite from the intense PvP action.Ok to all of you that is complaining about VG closing down their servers and think running a private server is easy, here is something for you to think about. Hundreds of players from both factions competed at all hours of the day to kill the coveted world boss in Caergate known as Titan, the ultimate PvP challenge in the game which drops highly exclusive sought-after loot. Many more players are anticipated to join the battle to reclaim the Earth in open beta, which will not be subject to a database wipe when the game transitions to an official launch.įan-favorite features in Scarlet Blade’s closed beta included the instanced PvP battlegrounds of Janus and Turnpike, along with the open-world PvP zone, Caergate.
Tens of thousands of players participated in the closed beta, collectively logging over 1,000,000 hours in the game and creating over 300,000 characters during the two-week period. The combination of the game’s unique visual style and cutting-edge PvP features has already created a massive fan base, and this is now poised to be our most popular title for the foreseeable future.” “ Scarlet Blade’s success is a perfect example of how far the company has come since we began in 2006. “This is a great milestone for Aeria,” said Lan Hoang, founder and CEO of Aeria Games. The premier mature massively multiplayer online role-playing game has now begun open beta, following a resoundingly successful closed beta period in which players flocked to the game in droves. Scarlet Blade has already proven to be a big hit for Aeria Games, a leading global publisher of free-to-play online games.
