I agree. Last time, on wrath and arion, lots of ppl left because of DDoS, hacks, ppl summoning baium in giran, etc... Server was dead for few weeks, but later on, after other servers failure, ppl came back to dex.When you carry a business or in this case "a l2 server", there are 2 kind of decitions:
a bad and short term idea.
in my humble opinion: to restart a server can be very good or very bad. Depends on the background strategy you take. There for, if you pretend to do the "RR" and do nothing else... its gonna bring only failure. But, if this is only 1 "call" and it has another tactic of defense behind it, then go for it. So... the "rr" withouth things like "good advertisement" or such... wont work.
Anyways GL.
pd: im new player in this comunity, started on this server 2 days ago. But saw many servers die for bad and short term plans. I live in argentina, so i know what are this "short term plans" hahaha

They just did it because of Dex credibility. You can't compare L2j servers with l2off. L2j won't last too much time.
But if you wipe you will lost huge credibility, and probably will fail again.
Just give some more time, and make more advertisement, so you will get new players to keep server running.
