Acquired by the folks behind SoulSplit.com, “We are also known as the #1 RSPS network and we have been ranked #1 by websites such as RuneLocus, MMORPGtoplist, Top100arena, Ultimateprivateservers, and many more for over 2 years with games such as Soulsplit 1, Soulsplit 2, SoulSpawn and Soulsplit Battlegrounds!“
Flops

Note: I didn’t do an exhaustive search of the ownership history of each domain. There are likely cases where there were multiple owners between the sales prices I list.
