To Enay:
I've been on Kaillera and MAME since 1997, and believe me when I say everyone will STOP playing MVC or any other 2d fighter on mame once I hit the road with this.
Since I am leaving this board this would be my last post, i wish to gloat in my success of using pirated/illegal/commercial software to make money:
In May 2002 I ran a RAGNAROK game server using the official server software (website http://iro.ragnarokonline.com/). In the start I had about 50 users in the first month which escalated to roughly 1400-1600 users within 6 months. The game server ran for roughly 16 months in total and I accumulated roughly $250,000 u.s.d and that is the profit figure (after webhosting and server renting costs).
How did i make the money? Did i charge people to play per month like the retail official servers do? NO.
I simply offered in-game items for donations, items that would significantly boost the player's strength. Donations ranged from $5 u.s.d to $100 u.s.d for a single game item.
Since that project I have hosted other numerous MMORPG games such as Risk Your Life 1 and 2, Lineage II C1, C2 and C4, A3 Online, Mu Online, RF Online, and World of Warcraft. The total profit from these ventures taht i accumulated (including ragnarok) is roughly $760,000 u.s.d.
Now I am no millionare, but as you can see I am well off and can afford to finance a 2d online fighting game project. I will be making money off the game too, just as I have for the mmorpg game servers i mentioned above. I have an extensive track record for running game servers and a great user base that knows me by my 'trademark' name that I earned for myself.
If you think this is all a hoax you can simply visit the forums which provide all these commercial MMORPG game server files to host (some including source code)
Im sure some of you will want to have this forum shut down but it has been shut down over a dozen times in the past 6 years and it is still up.
