I just uploaded beta 8; I may update it in the near future with a fix for the MySQL stack-bug with the Realm Repository but will otherwise 'sign-off' for about 1 maybe 2 months. During that time I will keep an eye on bugs reported by Dave Guntner... and if all is well, or mostly-so, will try to finish CHAINMAIL for a final release; otherwise, if the world engine is still buggy, will post another beta-refresh.
thanks,

Its still a beta... but much has been improved from what ive seen on another server. And as he sais above another release might be out soon if needed. Otherwise a final version may be along in the next few months.

From what I know so far the special races feature is disabled still pending fixes. Im not certain of this though. Strongholds and forges are suposed to be working right(chazman would sure like to have a working stronghold after trying 5-6 of them).

Thats it for now.

Peace

There are some bugs that I have found and will fix today; they are serious, and deal with the new spawning system... Once I get them fixed I will update the beta to "8a".

Thought id pass this along for anyone who has already downloaded it... like me (45 minute download for me haha)

ReadMe highlights maybe?

Readme looked to be about the same as in the previous beta..

Going through the scripts(in an attempt to enable subraces) I found a few new ones:
Wild and arctic dwarves, 3 subraces for half-orcs and 3 planetouched subraces for human.
And all of those inaccessible

Oh hell yes, please don't let me be tempted by WoW...

 

[Morrus]

I'm not sure what date the server will get switched off (the subscription was cancelled last month), but I'll be happy to upload the new version until then, at least.

Anyone got a link to it?

 

[Greylock]

Well now. That euphoria was short-lived.

'S ok. I'm gonna make it somehow...

 

[Chaz]

Oh geez... what a pants load.

Peace
