Hello. I am blunt about everything. Let me say that initially.

Just going to say this now, please don't bash on here, it's a) pointless and b) annoying, not just for me, but literally everyone.

I did just recently buy RKO Network for $500 about a month or so back, I admit.

Selling Because:
I am selling it because I realized I am not... enjoying it as a 17 year old as much as I did when I was 10 - 14. Oh, and because I spent ~$1400 so far.

This spoiler that follows is from the previous owner, FatTaco, and I included it to save time:

Hello, today I have decided to sell my server which I have been running for a while now; RKO Network. Reason for the sale being that I ran into some IRL problems, also, school is starting very soon for me. It sucks to let this server go, but I hope it will be going into good hands. I will try and make this thread as short as possible, however, I have a lot of details to include.


IP - play.rkonetwork.com (Version being 1.8+ for both Hub and Factions)

Website - www.rkonetwork.com (Xenforo forums with custom theme)

Store - http://buy.rkonetwork.com/ (Buycraft with custom theme)

Discord - https://discord.gg/rRBQKHH (189 members in the Discord)

Twitter - https://twitter.com/NetworkRko (14 followers, this project doesn’t use Twitter often)

Few aspects of the server:

- Custom Enchants

- Koths

- Envoys

- VoidChest

- Custom terrain

- Custom plugins

- Functional cannoning and raiding

- Events

- ShopGUI

- Minigames

- Bosses

- Events


You can find the org stats here: http://minecraftservers.org/server/445318


The playerbase count and vote count is slowly growing by the day. Average player count on the server during US night times (when Indonesian players are online) is around 20 players. During US day times, average player count is around 10, sometimes gets as low as 5. This mainly revolved around free advertisements and limited paid advertisement(s). I think the player count is doing very well and is subject to increase with the [prepaid] advertisement brought upon the server in the near future. The server was down recently for a rollback, so player count dropped but now players are joining back.

Season one released and the server was online for only the last few days of June. Donations started flowing upon release. https://gyazo.com/d089672009ed59420a82356c4278c29f


July is when we did a bit of advertising and then closed the server for the rest of the month in order to have a reset and fix bugs. https://gyazo.com/ac9497a50faf2b1e91c8d87fb3a3ead0


The server recently released for season two, however the donation stats for August are low due to my absence (I was on vacation), and the fact that advertising wasn’t brought upon the server yet (at this time). https://gyazo.com/48dea92466b3dbf6821a077295d2fa0d.


The server donations can definitely be brought up again (reference to the month of July) with proper advertisement. The potential is out of the chart. Will go into more detail in the “Prepaid advertising” section.


Hub plugins - https://gyazo.com/4a48a13644d8f55018787ae0371dfe82.

Factions plugins - https://gyazo.com/bae076f907b9fbffe790e846b6d5153e, https://gyazo.com/ca642259b11d4f6b4a18ecacfc1f3013.

Custom plugin list:

-Voidchest (instantly sells loot provided within the chest)

-Gkits (unique kits within the server, improving donator gameplay)

-RKOCommand (a plugin that lets you block any commands)

-CustomEnchantment (~50 custom enchants developed specifically for the server)

-MobWorldManager (lets you manage natural mob spawning for worlds)

-Shockwave (trenching tool to mine several blocks at once)

-Zonebosses (spawns mob bosses within the warzone)

-RKOPassword (login system found within the hub, designed to be used by staff)

-XPBottle (store xp, redeem xp, transfer xp to other players, etc)

-Jellylegs (prevents fall damage for donors that buy this feature)

-CustomCreepers (nuclear creepers, etc, basically custom creeper mobs)

-SpawnerUpgrade (GUI which allows you to upgrade spawners so they would perform at a better rate and benefit you at a larger scale)

Speaking of plugins, I will also correlate to bugs/suggestions provided within the server. Our server contains plenty of features to ensure quality user experience. In addition, bugs are limited. We have focused on fixing bugs for 2 months now and the server is pretty much error free.

.
All other products are viewable on the live server (play.rkonetwork.com). I reckon you check it out, private message me so I can give you a tour of the builds.

- gfx imgur album. A bunch of the graphics in this album are simply resized gfx of the original product.


This section is where you will start to notice potential (playerbase wise), and the value of the server should raise. The following YouTubers/Streamers have been paid to promote the server and you will be given contact to them.

https://www.youtube.com/user/nevingaming - 2 videos paid off.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCqPcFr--dRILoS93HvfXoQ - 1 video paid off.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2nb7x9pLvWQTiU4HG1yXUw - 1 video paid off.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1q292KD3rM18dR20P6uGLQ - 3 videos paid off.

Advertisement for RKO is based around foreign channels because they charge affordable prices and bring in players, which for the most part, are fairly knowledgeable in English. The only YouTuber yet to be paid his final portion of the full payment is nevingaming, and he is owed $100 USD (PayPal) after the videos are uploaded on his channel. As you can see, the server has a lot of potential.

-Server hosting (Dedicated server from OVH at $69 USD (edited) a month. I recommend you reduce expenses by switching to a cheaper server hosting option until the playerbase grows from advertisements. It wasn’t really smart for me to keep this hosting option during the current stage of the playerbase.

-Website hosting ($5 USD a month, hosted by our system administrator.)

-System administration ($70 USD (edited) a month if you keep our current system administrator. I personally recommend him if you have the funds/budget for his service.)

If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can find my contact within my signature. Preferred method of contact is Discord: Autopilot#6532 (edited)

  • Server files (latest files for all servers and reset world files for factions) -> Bungeecord, Hub, Factions

  • Server hosting and website hosting. Hosting is paid off till the 5th of September, 2017 (multicraft license is paid off until the 8th of September).

  • Domain ownership (namecheap): rkonetwork.com

  • Website ownership

  • GFX ownership

  • Twitter account

  • Discord ownership

  • Buycraft ownership

  • Login information to all server list sites RKO Network is registered on

  • Contact to any contractor(s) you wish to hire that are currently working under the server

  • Contact to users who will be advertising the server in the near future (youtubers, streamers, etc)

  • Email accounts on behalf of RKO Network

  • YouTube channel ownership (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI_1-HqaQOWybnD-ZcDPAIQ)
  • Jars of premium plugins within RKO Network will not be included in the sale, however, the configuration file(s) will be.

  • Custom plugins are all included in the sale, permission from developers has been received.

  • You do not have permission to resell this server as a method to gain profit.

  • Please keep the server sale confidential to the players present on the server.

  • I am also able to include advertising Managers and large YouTubers in this sale (the ct to them), upon permission.


All terms stated by FatTaco will be kept the same for obvious reasons.

Playerbase Change:
Just to let you know, server hasn't been advertised whatsoever since it was under ownership of FatTaco, and seeing that the server still contains a peak of 15 people and a playerbase of around 4-5 people throughout the whole day (aka average), I think some could agree the server has potential and requires advertisement to put that potential into success.

Starting bid: $100 USD

Bid increment: $20 USD

BIN: Looking for offers.

Bidding ends: On the 1st of October, or when a reasonable offer is present.

Current offer: N/A

Also!
I added in two new servers, Prison and Skyblock.

Thanks to Nekio for developing the Skyblock one that can be found HERE.

If I missed anything whatsoever, please do notify me. I am not looking to scam anyone in anyway, I want everyone to know exactly what they're looking at. Thank you.

Edit - As the first comment states, one copy of the server files was sold to Fate Network, currently owned by Vitrescent.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

I'd like to hear more about this. May be interested, but if this is true count me out.[DOUBLEPOST=1505871123][/DOUBLEPOST]And if it is true, these server files are no longer exclusive. However, I'll still drop a $150 bid.

Yes, that's correct. The server files are not exclusive.
The only server that uses our files is Fate Network. That's all. Still one is bigger than zero lol.

Bid noted.

I'll BIN for $175, or you can wait out for more bids. I'm just saying, the network is no longer exclusive and two of the servers are premades. In my opinion, this is a generous offer.

As much as you believe that, I do not.
I feel like the 12 custom plugins alone are worth that. Just imo.

Would you like to keep that as a bid? If it is in fact a generous offer, logically speaking, you won't be outbidded by the time this ends.

I'll keep my $150 bid, seeing as there's no reason to raise it when no one has topped it.

I can tell you as a past owner of this server, the money is not in the setup. If you buy this you will need to either get a new setup completely or spend more time fixing all the errors and compatability issues. The server also has been through multiple owners you should consider what you are being offered generous.

I have the other copy of the server and can vouch that there are no game breaking errors and compatibility issues. Trust me, I've had 90+ players on just that part of our network for quite some time. Additionally, we do not have plans of selling or giving away any of the files. Finally, Autopilot did not contact me or ask me to say this whatsoever. Anyways, bid under your own discretion.

I don't know if this is directed towards me or the bidders/audience, but how I see it, it's a little bit of both.
Your opinion is yours, and is respected, but I believe the factions does have potential, as long as the proper advertisement is made.

But seems as though me being a 3 rep'd guy, my opinion won't be as favored as yours may be. :p

Also, don't see much errors within the server nor compatibility issues, considering we're using a rather outdated version of everything to make sure all plugins will work, etc. I don't see where those issues would erupt from.[DOUBLEPOST=1506131308][/DOUBLEPOST]

Appreciated.

When did you have a 90 playerbase running on RKO? I am one of the OG owners so I know the issues and where exactly they are but yes its a well put together server no doubt never said that. Just the core coding and configuration of the server (factions) is messed up.

As she said in her post, she has the other COPY of the server files.
When FatTaco sold ownership of RKO Network to me, he also sold files of the server to Vitrescent who owns Fate Network.

Completely disagree. There is hardly any issues with the server setup. Sure there is better but at the time that I sold the server, bugs and errors were dealt with. You're making it seem like the Factions server has a poor setup, when it doesn't. If you want to oppose this statement, PM me as I will not be replying here (just wanted to post my comment).

Vouch for Autopilot
