Silkroad Redistribution

[TheSlink]

This is completely pathetic.

Nothing can stay on Farking topic and as i stated i dont want your Farking opinions on what he should do. I wanted some helping enquiring about it.

LOCK PLEASE

[chesticles]

butt hurt?

how bout tell ur friend to do something worthwhile with his money?

[Fury]

LOL!! someone wins 2mil and they immediately think about sro....srsly wtf....WaT ThAR FARQUE?! go live life.

[JBerlyn]

It is up to that person to do as they wish.

People say go live life, what if video games is the one thing a person in life enjoys? To be honest, if I won millions of dollars, I'd be investing in video games.

Just because they don't buy a fancy new house, or a fast expensive car, doesn't mean they are throwing away the money or not "living" life.

Everyone's lives are different. Live life the way you want to. Not what this world expects you to.

If that is ones life choice then that is fcknig pathetic. Obviously they cant succumb to anything in life so they chose to live in a fantasy world.

stop making fun of me xD JK JK

what is this "outside" you speak of? xD

It is up to the person to choose the way they want to live life. Why does this world stereotype video gamers as people with no lives? What about sport players? They dedicate their life to running around, being athletic. What about musicians? They dedicate their life to musical notes and instruments.

Video games are a big part of my life and I am not letting some little cunt like you tell me or others how to enjoy their life.

No, what YOU think is pathetic. You have no place to tell anyone what to do with the money they have.

Being so closed minded as to tell somebody they can't have fun the way they choose to have fun shows that you are the lesser man. You know NOTHING about the person. The guy POSSIBLY works a boring job, and plays games to get away from the stresses of that. What is wrong with that? Absolutely nothing.

because there is no such thing as a sucessful gamer. You cant make millions playing video games, thats why Yes you can make some money but still you cant make a living doing it

You can't make millions doing a whole lot, honestly.

The big part isn't money, it's FUN. People play games for fun. Not everything in life has to be about money.

I know lol. i was simply pointing that out to the AP. I like to say, whatever makes u happy live your life as long as it doesnt effect me idc

The information you are looking for is related to "franchise opportunities".

For this type of information, you need to contact Joymax through their "Investment Opportunities and Finance" division, which you can do so here.

Before your friend does so though, they should at least understand how these things works. Simply having money to finance an endeavor is usually "not enough" when it comes to these things. If your friend has no previous experience in running a game, then I don't think Joymax will just license out their products to anyone. These issues are really sensitive in the business world and you have to remember you are dealing with a very large international company.

At a minimal, your friend should already have a plan for all the aspects of running a large mmo like Silkroad on hand. These include at minimal:
- Data center for hosting
- PR team for maintaining a positive image of Joymax's products you want to license
- Game administration team (technical support, GMs, forum admins, etc...)

For more information on this kind of stuff, just have them do Google search for information on buying a franchise. You should see a lot of the strings attached and will need to keep these things in mind before starting an inquiry. All businesses are different though, but remember that you are dealing on a business level now and unless you actually work in that area, there's always a lot more to it than might initially appear.

Congrats to your friend though!

This was exactly what i was after, truely brilliant post. Unlike some in here which are irrelavant.. and frankly.. His money.. his investment.. also why do you guys not see the bonus from this? If we can create a version which is fun, turk free (Sorry) and friendly.. im sure we could attract a large market.. as GM's would care, the updates would be worthwhile. This combimned would be a interesting combination. Think about it, its a "investment" which means he would reclaim his money.. its not like buying a car that de-value's.. and as to the family thing. He payed of his parents, his, aunties, sisters and brothers morgage.. and treated his parents to a holiday home in Spain and a round the world cruise. The 2m he has is AFTER tax and family.

Anyway, Joymax website cant function correctly.. we cant email them them threw the customer services.. we tried 4 valid numbers and still its rejecting we may have to call.

The "brilliant" post is simply from someone who understands what business is.
Your lucky lottery-winning friend has already wasted a large part of his gain (by spending it... he wont get any revenues from it anymore, nor will anyone) and is thinking of wasting the remaining part by "investing" in a SRO server.
I guess he is a teenager to have such ideas.
I dont mean to be demeaning but helpful.
Money is a matter that only people who are used to dealing with money understand correctly.
You dont know how to invest or even do business if you're a teen or a waged worker. It's a whole other education.
To sum it up, if your lucky friend wanted to INVEST he wouldn't even think of SRO. He would go for sound investment, not video-game fantasy.

Think about it like this : what matters is the revenues, not the capital.
Offer some cash to people and you haven't increased their revenue one bit, you may even have decreased it if they use your gift to buy new stuff that takes money to keep going every month.
You can have millions in capital, or be given millions, what matters is how you turn these into revenues, and what you do with these revenues.

In your example, your friend is willing to spend 2 millions pounds (a serious sum frankly, you could live, family included, all your life in a third world country from the revenues of that starting capital if you moderately cleverly invested it) into a game server of a game he likes...
The excuse that it is an investment is just that, an excuse. He is willing to get himself a big present, that's all there is to it. His precious. And you know where the "my precious" line ends up. Down the crack of mount doom. You're asking for trouble. He already lost about half his gain. Don't encourage him to lose the remaining half.

From what i'm gathering by your posts you are strongly advising him and encouraging him to go for it. Bad move. You admitted that you are jealous. Think of the relation between your jealousy and envy on one side, and on the other side your advice that leads him to waste the rest of the gift he got the luck to get but you didn't.

Think also that 2M£ is a huge sum for an average worker, and your friend is unlikely to have another opportunity like that during his whole lifetime.
Don't be a kid about it. It's his life and his future family's that are concerned with such a capital.
Put your ego on the side and acknowledge that (if you agree with the points i made) his best move is to invest the remaining money in a sound investment, not a teenager's video-game investment fantasy that is just an excuse for avoiding the responsibility to deal maturely with the opportunity.

Read about lottery winners stories. Unhappiness is very common as a result.
Be the friend that helps, not the one that drags him down.
Get selfless dude. It's hard to be responsible for a large sum of money. People just try to eat you up.
Think of his own good, and the good of his current and future family. His future children might need daddy's money in the future.

Hey grandpa, tell us again what you did with the lottery prize you once won, while we're eating dirt in our brand old trailer? Oh yeah, you "invested" it in a f2p mmo server. Thank you grandpa. You and your friend may be clueless teens now but soon you'll grow up and mature. In a few years or decades you'll have other ideas about how to invest 2M£ .

Frankly the sound thing to do would be for mature people to manage this capital, not the lottery winner. He's just wasting it.

goddamn truie you had to make the dreaded long post

[Amarisa]

honestly if someone wanted to busy sro i'm sure they would think of as an investment. a way to earn money but i think only isro earns the big cash.

[CrimsonNuker]

Well what did you expect the replies would be when you added that your friend had won the lottery and got 2 Million, and immediately wants to spend it on SRO?

You could have simply just asked how would you go about if you wanted to get a "Silkroad Redistribution", but instead you felt like added the part where your friend wants to spend a ridiculous amount of money on this shit game, and well, we brought the rain.

Ah, where did you i state he wants to spend the whole sum on silkroad.

This is your simple minded assholes makeing presumtions..
Also as to the person saying im selfish and narrow minded i didnt know about anything until he asked me about how he could go about buying a redistribion of silkroad to make a worthwhile and fun server.

Oh, finally.. who says a legit, non-racist, active GM and fun orientated version would be a "waste" of money. I, and many others would call this a investment.

It makes me laugh how half of you here jump to the conclustion that he will spend the remaining 2 million on a Silkroad online..

i asked for help, and get slated. Thanks for the people who took my post seriously.

Meh just buy the private server files ecsro and sjsro is using.
