Important Notice for Server Users
This post addresses specific concerns about server users and the expectations for interacting with the L2jMobius project.
It’s important to note that some information may overlap with other topics, but I want to ensure clarity on these points.
This information is crucial for maintaining a positive and productive environment for the L2jMobius community.
Legal Considerations
L2jMobius is a legal open-source project made for fun and learning.
L2jMobius is not a company, manned by numerous programmers, developing a commercial MMORPG server.
It is important to note that making money from running a server using L2jMobius is considered illegal. This project is strictly non-commercial.
Please be aware that I, as the project maintainer, am not legally responsible for any activities related to servers created using L2jMobius.
I endeavor to maintain a legal project environment and adhere to my own development workflow.
Issues with Server Users
- Lack of Programming Knowledge
Running a server requires a basic understanding of programming.
Since L2jMobius is a programming project, it is essential that users have the necessary skills to troubleshoot issues on their own. - Excessive Reporting and Debugging
Users who report issues without attempting to debug them place undue stress on the project.
This behavior detracts from the collaborative spirit of development and is not appreciated. - Transferring Stress and Issues
Transferring stress and issues from your illegal server player base to the L2jMobius project creates a negative environment.
It is essential to approach the project with a collaborative mindset rather than seeking solutions for every minor problem. - Pushing for Fixes Through Spamming
Repeatedly reporting the same issues or spamming topics to push for fixes, because your illegal server player base pushes you, is counterproductive.
This behavior will not expedite the resolution of issues and may hinder understanding and erode any tolerance for dealing with them. - Hoarding Fixes and Contributions
It is strongly discouraged to withhold changes or code, or to conceal information that could be useful to the community.
When individuals choose not to share their improvements or innovations, it hinders overall progress and development. - Language Barrier
For users who do not understand English well, communication can be challenging. It is important to make an effort to communicate properly.
Clear and effective communication is essential for troubleshooting and resolving issues and improving the L2jMobius project collaboratively.
Expectations for Server Users
- Self-Reliance
Users should make an effort to understand basic programming and attempt to debug issues on their own before reporting them. - Constructive Reporting
Provide detailed and clear information when reporting issues to help the community understand and address the problem effectively. - Respectful Interaction
Respect the time and effort of all contributors. Avoid transferring stress or pushing for immediate fixes through spamming. - Collaborative Spirit
Approach the project with a willingness to learn and contribute, fostering a positive and productive community.
Conclusion
I appreciate all contributions to the L2jMobius project, but it's crucial to maintain a respectful and collaborative environment.
Users who cannot adhere to these guidelines may face restrictions or bans to ensure the project's integrity and progress.
By understanding and following these expectations, we can work together to make L2jMobius the best it can be for everyone involved.
Thank you for your cooperation.

*Understanding the Roles: User vs. Developer
In our community, it's important to distinguish between users and developers to better understand the contributions and responsibilities each role entails.
A user primarily focuses on customizing and configuring existing files, such as .ini, .xml, and .html files, to tailor the system to their preferences.
They do not create new code but rather adjust settings and tweak content using the tools and features already provided by the developers.
On the other hand, a developer is responsible for writing new code, developing new features, and maintaining the overall software.
Developers have deeper understanding of programming and system architecture, enabling them to create, improve, and troubleshoot the project.
By clearly defining these roles, we can foster better collaboration and appreciation for the different skills and efforts involved in our community.
