I have no issue in coughing up the 25 euros a month by myself. Just let me know if I can go ahead and buy it.

Or this one, it offers 30 days free service so you can see if it works, bringing new players on your server. After the 30 days have passed, you gotta pay $9/$10 /month.

One of the links that lead you to get the free hosted tab on the site directs you to a website domain that isn't offline.  Sketchy as fuck.

You have to think about the disadvantages about this first, if admins are ready to go on full time active on the server then there's no problem in putting the server in hosted tab.
Most of players who go on hosted tab are the guys who search for free-roam or DM servers to test their "hacks" or to just annoy others so he laughs, most of these players are between 10-16 years old so yeah... Admin team has to be ready and players also have to be ready and patient for the mess which will come because of hosted tab.

You make it sound like the admin team has never dealt with the server being on the hosted tab before.  Don't get all worried now.

That's not what I am saying, most of players now are in a vacation even there's not a lot of staff team online in peak times right now. In ParUni we ban like 50 accounts per day because of the hosted tab, 80 percent of them are hackers..

Yeah, it was a nightmare for admins/mods back when we went offical, but after a while they were handling it pretty good. I'm sure the A-Team together with the HQ will prepare themselves for this.


So, I suggest Devin/Teddy/Rusty/etc continues this initiative and make it happen asap, not much I or any other players can do more, except donate the cash when everything's ready.

Admins can take care of it, if they need help they will hire new admins/mods as they did before.

Do it fast!!!

I'm pretty sure our administration is ready to handle the potential wave of players we'll be having in case the server goes on hosted tab. I fully support this idea and I hope it will be up and running on the hosted tab soon enough!

We are currently setting up a crowd-funded system to roll out that'll enable us to get players to sponsor for hosted tab.

Those who contribute for the first month will get a custom join message (sort of like my hasbro message) rather than a country. This is a first months offer only.

Do it like, asap, like this week, and i'm not even kidding!! It will only bring benefits to our comunity.

We've had the server on the Hosted Tab during RS5 a few times, sure it brought in players but how many actually stayed?  Spot on a list doesn't make people stay it's how they view the server and it's player's.

Yeah but RS5 wasn't really ready for it. Do you remember what happen in rs4 when we went on offical?
Our numbers were drastically going down, we had a similar situation like now, 30-40-50 max. In few days of offical server, the server keep crashing because we had over 100 players constantly  .

Lets say 30-40 players joins per day(even more players were joining back when we were offical I remember as a mod, we had like 7-8 new players per hour all the time), lets say 80 percent of them are hackers/people who wont stay. Let say we get 5-6 new players that will stick around per day. In a month or two, that's a massive amount.

What will the payment options be? I'd like to pay with PSC's.
