Amazing 6 letters .com domain. The domain was acquired for $xxxx about 2 months ago but i didnt want to give it up.

How did it started?
I was also the founder / owner of a MMORPG community and fansite called the www.ro-guardians.com. It was established in 2004 and i have been developing it all the way till mid 2006. Which then i had a financial crisis and was forced to sell it cheaply to this guy. The second owner then had it for 2 month and manage to fetch $16,000 out of it at sitepoint.

Suggestion:
Till today, the game is still growing and widely played around the world. This site has unlimited potentional but i havent got the time to work on it. I have received alot of request for us to setup a forum but again, due to the lack of time, i could not do so.

Most part of the site hasnt been updated for a period of time and im sure doing some resource update would definitely bring more traffic to the site.

Why will this work?
This site has a strong fan base. I have volunteers who offered to help developing the site / producing resources. I'll share their contact to the buyer.

The official forum has over 2000 of active users on average while another popular forum has over 1000.

Operating cost
Currently using shared hosting, wouldnt cost you much.
The site uses an average of 550gb of bandwidth per month.

Traffic Details
The traffic is all natural. Mainly from search engine and some from fans referrals.

Im not advertising the site anywhere and dont have to spend a single peny on anything.
