Today we talk about the history of Ikov.io RSPS high and lows

Arrav\Ikov\Ikov2\Elkoy\Ikov (Estimated Profit of $1m-$5m)

Arrav launched in 2012 and was a mega-hit but it didn't last too long, but it was the start of what was coming.

Arrav then was hunted down by Jagex & shutdown so the owners had to flee their loved ones and home country & settle in the Netherlands where they would host ikov rsps & once again find mega success.

Ikov owners had a disagreement which led to the second shutdown of ikov but that didn't stop one of the owners & he came out with ikov2 & elkoy which couldn't live up to the hype of the original servers:

Elkoy eventually died out slowly & shutdown, Everyone in the RSPS Scene thought we had seen the last of ikovps but then the RSPS scene got an rko out of nowhere and you guessed it IKOVPS WAS BACK! and better than ever with a successful launch!

What can RSPS owners learn from the history of ikov? When life gives you lemons make lemonade!

RSPS Developers & Owners are too focused on stuff that's not essential to their success & get stuck in a loop of wasting time. Instead of making lemonade they're creating a feast with the option of rotten lemon ontop. because by the time they are ready for launch they would've spent so much time on irreverent stuff that the relevant stuff is broken on launch which leads to the downfall of a server and a bunch of wasted time.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Ikov is a good server, i understand why they have alot of players just not for me.

1m$ profit, damn lol

Never understand why they let elkoy die.

Sounds impressive. I still have very fond memories of Ikov 1

That's a crazy amount of success, I wonder if they pay off Jagex to keep them from cracking down?

It's crazy to think how much some of these servers are pulling in. 

glad you're documenting these histories!
