Stop contacting me to be your full time developer for your upcoming server. This is not the point of the post and it clearly says existing servers, please read it and don't try your luck, you will just be deleted off skype.


Hey guys. A lot of you know me round here and this is just a request to see who is interested, some people might find this bat shit crazy, if so, tell me that I am, I'm just wondering if anyone would be interested in this offer.

So.

I realize that a lot of large server owners eventually become disengaged with their server and end up wanting to sell it, the issue is that not many people are actually interested in buying large servers because they don't have the budget. This usually ends with the person just shutting the server down. Instead of this I'm looking to stop it from closing down, and instead try and make it grow even more.

I'm looking for a fairly large server to take over both the development side and the management side full time. This means I would no longer be taking comissions, but always programming for the server.

This would mean we would pull a Ajdin and Mick on the players and that I would be the new "owner" ;). I would take 83% of profits. In return I would code for the server full time and really try to make it something unique and fun to play, this would also come with me expanding the server and trying to make it grow by adding fully custom features and addons to whatever gamemode the server is currently based on.

This would mean.

> Getting full access to all the server files and website(s), along with console.
> Adding new custom plugins that would in turn attract more players.
> Managing everything from advertisement to configuration and community management
> All this while you do absolutely nothing and continue on getting revenue.

Why am I doing this?
I've been looking to start a server for a while, however my recent plans didn't fall through and now the idea has been stopped.

So instead of me investing the money into starting up a new server that might not actually end up gaining popularity (there's always that risk), I can take an already existing player base and make it continue to grow.

Requirements
I'm only looking for larger servers, (i.e those that make $800+) a month. And that the server's gamemode isn't currently restricted in adding new features.

I have no idea whether or not anyone would be interested but I run the (second) biggest development shop on the site and figured that now would be the time to make use of the reputation I have gained around here over the past year or so and try really make something noticeable.

If you are interested, send me a message on here or add my skype: thegallileo_123

This might be far fetched so I'm interested on other user's opinions. Discuss down below :)

I'd recommend adjusting the percentage you are paid. Essentially, you're selling full management services at just over $640/month at the moment. There are many who would do this for less.

Yea, however, mat is a fantastic dev, one one of, if not the best one on this site.

However, I would say maybe you get 60% owner ship, and the other owner gets 40%? You'd still have 100% control, but give the guy who started it all a bit more money :)


Good luck Mat!

I understand.

The thing is that I currently make $X,XXX / month from development, this sort of deal is for someone that really has not been able to sell their server and is just looking to shut it down.

The percentage is given that the person does absolutely nothing, this would require me dropping everything and just working on the server, the percentage could be tweaked depending on the size of the server itself. I would not want to do this if I was getting considerably less than I currently earn.

What you're talking about is just management services, the difference between a management service and what I'm offering is that the server will recieve $X,XXX worth of development a month, along with the fact I have been running minecraft servers since late 2012 puts the price of what my services would be any ways. I can have many people including FatTaco vouch that I am more than capable of fixing the weirdest bugs with both manually coded patches and also in plugin patches.

The percentage could be tweaked if I was to take less of a role within the server, and offer 80% of my time instead of 100% of it. As I said before, this offer is something that would apply to a very small amount of people.

Honestly, Mat is the guy for this type of stuff. He was a developer on my server (Crypteria) and legit fixed every single bug I requested to be fixed. Complex or easy, he fixed everything I found. Although, some did take longer than others to fix as they made absolutely no sense whatsoever, he still ended up doing everything I wanted him to do. All in all, I personally think he's the best dev on the market, but that's just my opinion. He's dedicated, professional, and trustworthy. Big vouch for my man Mat.
