Ok so I have A server up right now. Maps have all been cleared out.
Everyone gets level 2(mapper) access as they join. Pick a map between 1 and 600 and /warpto #.
use /editmap to bring up the map editor.
use /maprerport to display a list of maps that you can double click and warpto the map.
/warptome and /warpmeto are disabled for level 2 and lower access.
/strike /kick and /ban are also disabled for level 2 and lower
This is just so that everyone has something fun and creative to do until we are ready to officially release 1.7
who knows, maybe we’ll find some good mappers

we’ll get the server up eventually, they’re still working on stuff and doing an amazing job.
we have to troubleshoot a few glitches here and there, of course with a massive rewrite like this you’ll have a few hitches to get through.
no worries, when it is officially up the front of the website will say so.

I am making this post because Monoxide of OGC is having an orgasm all over our source code right now and i think everyone will be very pleased with the performance gain. It’s currently 4:18 am and we are working feverishly to fix things, optimize, bugfix, reduce filesize, and add extra security. Almost every inch of code has been modified in some manner. If we can’t get it done within the next hour or so, i’ll have to go to work and he’ll have to go to school and we will get the update out later on this evening. Till then, make sure you’ve all studied for that test you may have coming up, or take some time to read a book. Might i suggest “Hearts in Atlantis” by Stephen King.
I will keep you all posted!

ok we are not going to randomly reset every password like we planned i don’t think, however when you login you will have a command available that will allow you to change your password. The server will be going back up in a few hours and we will be monitoring it heavily.

Everybody’s password is being changed to a randomly generated number or string, if you wish to know the password and change it, you must pm us from the forums and we will send you the new password.
you must ALL change your password on the forum now.
There are individuals who used to be staff members who had access to your accounts and they are giving away your account information to random people. It is very important that we change your passwords immediately.
We are very sorry for this inconvenience but we are working feverishly to keep your information safe and secure. Have no fear, everything is properly backed up.

Hey hey hey there everyone, you’re amazing admin had a brilliant idea to change the manner in which you drop items when you die.  Your speed stat will now play a key role in whether you drop an item or not.  You might drop all your equipped items, you might not drop any, and you will drop 5% of your rupees

to celebrate, here is admin playing guitar with shiroh and I also present and speaking in teamspeak, quality is a bit fuzzy, but that’s ok.

see, this is the kind of stuff you miss by not taking part in the Official HO teamspeak!

-your friendly, neighborhood Gunslinger
