All of this was a joke - Todo fue una broma - все это была шутка - All dies war ein Scherz
Well, well, well... i hope you all had fun like we did
We were going to reveal the truth on 2nd but since the huge impact that it caused and the large amount of rage/funny/emo/suicide comments both on website and forums we held up the joke for a couple of extra days to see you all freaking out for the sake of pure evilness.
Just like someone already said, all the jokes have a bit of truth on them, think about it for a while and then forget it, dont get too serious, but think that all our work we do here is for FREE and it will be FREE FOREVER, and for ALL OF YOU, not for us, since many of the current developers working on the official L2j staff dont run a server, many of them do it just for "fun" and/or "learning" purposes
Im going to quote the most funny comments made:

Thks for all!
I was a very active developer in L2OFF community and just leave because they all acted the same way that you are doing it now.
You can make a $ 50 annual subscription and I am sure you will earn more money as they will be many more people that can pay and still use this project.
You are killing the L2J project!!!
I want to know who is the “Superstar” who planned this shit….
Welcome L2J to the L2OFF disease.

You become into crazy… but also you’re free to do what you want.
Why, you don’t ask for work? I mean, if you give, you can take.
You complain about everybody take it and no one cares (your words) a shit, but that solution you show up, has not happy ending.
I will be watching to see where it goes.

All of you who start “I will call my Mom” “I will call the police” etc, first learn to read, and learn how to use the internet and how to get informations from a site.
This is my last warning (Free after Zaken)

And you can suck his lollipop. GNU license is for saving author works. If you are leecher, you can copy last revision and gtfo, with creating new project thats name “l2jleech” or something like this.
Yeah! Say bye bye lolservers. ^^

Noone check anything just read the part of this news, and get angry and start to write funny comments.
You all use the internet. And you still do not got the message what is in this news.
Phoenixbird: Do u laugh a lot when reading the comments?

If you want to read the rest of them check the entry on the website and this post.
Notes: Just for the curious ones ranting and claiming that selling a paid L2j version violates the GPL, please read. As long we distribute the source code with the compiled binaries, you dont violate the GPL, the issue is that the same GPL let you distribute, modify, and sell the copy that you just bought, so you can't effectively sell a "license" under the GPL.
IF YOU RAGE YOU LOSE!
ThePhoenixBird wrote: Hi there guys, today is a really important day here on L2j, we have been discussing for weeks about the future of L2j, where are we now?, what are we going to do? and where we want to be?
On the other side we also discussed about the amount of people that doesnt care a shit about our work, and they keep leeching, stealing, and flaming us, some have the guts to ask on forums how to remove the credits! others come to IRC and spam the ops with messages to get "priority support cuz i donated you $5!", other ones more silent just come here, read, pick, download, and just stay silent leeching our hard work and yours too, they dont give nothing back to the community.
At the end we got tired to list bad stuff and then we started to brainstorm for solutions to this issue and the future of L2j.
The wonderful idea came when it was suggested to create a "paid" L2j version, with proper priority support and addons, also nBd aggred to share his private custom events for this new version.
Of couse, for the rest of the users they still can get the vanilla L2j version, but future OpenSource Development will be stoped starting on Rev.4100, there will be only security patches from now on for the "free" branch, no new development or features will be added to the vanilla version wich will stay opensource for the rest of you to keep using it or developing it.
From now on the current L2j DevTeam will focus on developing for the "paid" version of L2j with the new features and addons (we have prepared some awesome ones), you then should consider to buy a L2j License:
Standard License
Price: USD$ 149,99/year
- Limited to 1 server with 100 users capacity.
- Priority Support via email/irc.
- Priority Beta-Releases.
- 0-Day Bug Fixes.
- Free Upgrades
Gold License
Price: USD$ 349,99/year
- Limited to 2 servers with 300 users capacity per server.
- Priority Support via email/irc.
- Priority Beta-Releases.
- 0-Day Bug Fixes.
- Free Upgrades
- Builds with Custom MODs.
- Priority Support for Custom MODs.
Extreme License
Price: USD$ 749,99/yearWe consider that those prices are cheap in echange for the amount of work and development that its required to stay competitive on this business.
- Limited to 3 servers with 1000 users capacity per server.
- Priority Support via email/irc.
- Priority Beta-Releases.
- 0-Day Bug Fixes.
- Free Upgrades
- Builds with Custom MODs.
- Priority Support for Custom MODs.
- nBd's Premium Custom MODs.
- DrHouse's Admin/GameMaster Custom Panel MOD.
- ThePhoenixBird's Designed 125x125 Banner in L2jServer Homepage.
The money from the licences will be used completely for our new L2j Developer Motivation Program wich will ensure quality work from our group of L2j Developers and for future development of new features.
Regards
L2j Team
