I'll opt for being unique AND being around a year from now.

Good luck with the relaunch.

I agree with oldlurker for once. People should share code to further the emu but as far as the server, I don't quite care. There are bigger and crazier servers in the works. I voted for share the code, but if there was an option "fix your forums", I would have chosen that.

I voted public.I was about to PM you on that subject when i seen the poll.I didnt know it was private till i seen the poll.

I was going to ask you where i could get the scaled down level DB because im in the hospital alot and there is no Inet connection there.Im expected to be there for a very very extended time.They've not given me the full details as to how it will be worked(in-time/out-time) but the nurse told me the procedure could take around 4 years.They are talking of replacing my skin from my knees to the back of my head-so go figure.Soloable EQ was my thoughts on how it shouldve been since day one and i applaid the hell outa what you done.So thats why i voted public release.Ty

First, please do not take this the wrong way, People having their own servers and staffs are great.

However, What about the possibility, instead of another server, get involved in one that’s already under way and help build its code / user base up?

That way, it’s just not another server with low population, but instead enhancing a server with more support and building on it to make it more desirable for users to join and play on?

I might be completely off tap here and I certainly don’t want to discourage you from having your own server/staff/users. I’m just offering another option/possibility.

Cheers,

froglok

Froggy, same reason everyone in EQ had to be a guild leader of a 6-man guild.

One of the good things about EMu is, everyone can play god for a while, until they realize it's futile, and no matter what they do it's never good enough and quit.

It really is kinda of ironic how much work goes into a server that "sucks". A guy can spend 720 hours tweaking code, database, hardware, network, etc, and there will be players that spend all their time bitching about things: "WHY DOESN'T FRENZY WORK?!"... "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO REBOOT FOR AN UPDATE?!#$!@"... "THIS SERVER IS BULLSHIT!@#!"...

The reality of it is, it's become human nature to run around and find the problems with every situation. People spend too much time focusing on the negative, rather than looking at the positive. Ultimately, this damages the person that's bitching more than anyone else, as they are never happy, and ultimately anything that should be relaxing leisurely only causes them more and more stress.

I'd really think hard before putting up a fresh server, but that's just me. On the otherhand, I know of several servers in need of skilled devs (DB and Source).
