Setting up my 2nd server (in a long time!) Help!

[V3NG3ANC3]

So I had my own server about 6 years ago or so & i've decided now... to reopen another one, mine seemed to go quite well with over 100 people playing at the time until unfortunately I had to shut it down... Things have changed though!

Anyways, I've been searching the forums for some sort of guide on how to go about it now! everything's changed (My server was a txt. based server) It was pretty simple then! - now im hearing things like hercules & rEthena?

Can anyone direct me to a decent link where I might find a decent guide on setting up a server which I can open to the public? ( I've literally become clueless now! =/)

I'll also be spending some weeks on customizing before fully opening, but im completely open to any suggestions on what might be the best way to start again?

Thanks!
