Arch I thought that at first too , why do I need one?? But since we have one now , I see why we should have all along the benifits outweight any negitive points to it by far, just do this , ONLY grant access to the NPC server to those who absolutely have to have it , on Npulse only Moonie and I and Sparker (NPC Admin, who is the really only one who does anything with it) Moonie at times does , but I tend to stay away from things I know nothing about and the NPC server I don't lol. Limited access to it will cut down on the "accidents" of D/C the thing , so far ours has not crashed nor been d/c and that is the way we want to keep it , scripting is very important and bad script will crash it in a heart beat so you need someone who knows how to script for it ... anyway just some tips I have found that works for us .... so Good Luck with SL ;)

Yes, the reason NPC Server shuts down is because it is overloaded/bad script and someone manually does. We got someone that can script with one...Just have to make it clear to that certain person that they can't just make whatever they want..-.-;;

I wish you guys the best of Luck with SL :)

crashing an npc server doesn't make you a bad scripter though, the 2k2 npc server has gone down a lot and not always because of the chat system, does that make stefan and unixmad bad scripters? no it doesn't, the scripts on 2k2 are fine, its just that the npc server somehow needs to be optimized so i can handle more data

Indeed. The Npc Server is nice. But it needs to be more powerful.

To handle 50 players each fighting 2 bomies at the same time.

Thanks moon, that means a lot to myself and the rest of the SL staff. :)
