saa0d 2 Report post Posted July 14, 2017 Just as the title says, why did serverdev close and why is it sponsoring Pirate King Online?! It's such a big waste for a forum with its size to close. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

saa0d 2 Report post Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) i guess its purpose was delivered keeping a forum that does not benefit you is waste!! but it had A LOT of invaluable resources and now its gone. When I saw it sponsoring PKO i thought zankza hacked it so nobody learns how to open new servers. Edited July 14, 2017 by saa0d Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angelix 374 Report post Posted July 14, 2017 Why does it sponsor PKO? It's because Zankza himself is the owner of PKO. They also closed FoxLv II because it was failing and maybe not generating money to sustain. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iZae 55 Report post Posted July 14, 2017 Do you really need an explanation? Official ToP closed and there was a huge opportunity to make like an "Official" private server (PKO) Zankza took the opportunity, and deleted serverdev (I don't think he owned it, but he hosted it) to avoid more servers and to delete every release that could be used by other developers. I'm pretty sure serverdev wasn't property of Zankza 'cause I've been in privatia way before he joined it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really hate how he is forcing all people to play his server, its unfair. He is trying to dominate the game and make it all for his self and that's really selfish. I hate him already Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xSeth 51 Report post Posted July 14, 2017 why servdev closed ? Ez. Zanky can't handle lots of servers that are apper ther , every time new srv open so zanky srv FoxLvl would die so better he closed whole SerDev and start promote FoxLvl then close FoxLlv after all mall ther then open PKO and start bann ppls for nothing and play with alts chars - Klab + Wife Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zankza deleted it cuz he didn't want to see more servers opening, since there were a shit ton of guides i think and good information on how to open and host a server etc. So he just deleted it so it will be harder for ppl to open a server, that way there is less competition.

Riizq 7 Report post Posted July 15, 2017 Zanzka could not afford it /s Serverdev was TOP haven for Private server development. It had to go down to make room for PKO. and obviously cut ties with others for less competition. But anyways it has like 700-900 online. Which is great /s ( Lmao more than half of the population is cuz of the offline stalls.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maximilian 25 Report post Posted July 21, 2017 You can use archive.org to see in the past for (almost) any website. I picked a random date in 2011 as an example :https://web.archive.org/web/20101201084458/http://forum.serverdev.net:80/index.php So even if the official archive is gone , you'll be able to use this.
