Hah wow that's great. Yeah we had a lot of interest at one point. Darksun will never die as evidenced by traffic to the must even though all I've done is clean some memory leaks. Compile. And boot the game up.

If you could pull your ass away from League of Legends long enough to get something like this seriously going, that could be really cool. I'd help you with hosting, if that were an issue.
My only prerequisite was that there should never be rewards or incentives for joining staff.

It's been hosted for a while. I just don't have the time/motivation to work on it like I used to, but I enjoy coding, I'm fixing memory leaks as we speak and dealing with a bunch of sql problems that should be sorted. I'll get the thing stable and turn it over to someone else to administer.

Nah. Thing hasn't been compiled in over 5 years, It's a wonder it's running. I had it running last night then it crashed.

Where to start in the timeline for Athas? This is important as it completely dictates what is going on currently. What codebase to use? I'm not opposed to building one and funding it either. Staff hierarchy? Mechanics. I talked for hours with Lazloth who helped me code the old version of the mud. We had a lot of ideas for combat/magic/psionics that never really got off the ground but we started coding it. Mechanics are important to the survival of any game. Some would say it's easier to just download code load it up in a shell and get people logging in but I've learned that I'd rather gauge my options first and have an actual business plan for this before I go forward. Maybe I'm taking it too seriously but I don't want to see it fail again. Arguably I could have kept it going but my job took up too much time and deploying for months at a time wasn't viable to administer my cell phone bill much less a game. 1) Not privy to such details so I'd differ judgment to someone else, particularly you. 2) Whatever works, i.e. whatever you settle on and think works best. 3) No hierarchy should be used. If you're on staff you have a voice. It needs to be based on collective teamwork, and things should be based on voting IMO (I'm sure others would disagree). Just leery about unwittingly creating a new Nyr/nessalin. 4) Mechanics: we can discuss this at length. 5) Oh I agree -- having a business plan will help ensure success. Again, let's discuss this via shadowspeak or skype.

I'd like to help out. Thing is I know I would already disagree heavily on certain things. I'm not slavish to Darksun lore. Some of you creep me out. I don't like high fantasy, and I consider Arm's magick/psionics high fantasy. I'm a coder with reasonable time. If anything I enjoy making new features.

I'm just not too serious about it. The server is all paid up for 2 years and the mud is just sitting there. Giving someone root access to my ssh though is something that'd have to be discussed on skype.

It's sitting there, but not playable apparently. That's a big leap, there.
We'll see, yanno?
