Testing Server

[DuBsTeRmAn]

Allright let's ask you all something..

If i buy the server, Would someone (or a few people) be able to set it up and be in control of the server?

Next to that, Would the GDT Team (if they are still here) be there to help the new developers?

Would you people use it?

Simple idea and I mean SIMPLE...

Have Clockwork get a backup
Give to new owner
Transfer ownership
???
Profit!

Has anyone offered to give Aeko the money so he can repurchase the server?

It does seem ridiculous if thats the only way we can get Testbed back...but, if its the only solution...

I don't think anyone should have to pay. I'd rather see it not come back than to see Stefan ignore one of the few great things that developers actually got in a while(and hell, that was from another player, as always). As much as I loved to hop on testbed when I felt like it and mess around, it's just not worth it.

Absolutely. Also, if you think about it, testbed really would help business. If players can go on testbed and learn things, they'll see what it's like (and perhaps how much fun it can be) to actually own a server, leading to increased profits from rented servers. Wouldn't it make sense to offer something like that for free, if the end result is beneficial?

Of course we shouldn't have to pay.

When we have to pay for to develop a server, the least Stefan could do is give us somewhere to learn gscript.
As of now, if someone wants to learn to script...its kinda like....oh well.
Practice offline and hope your doing it right.

Or find someone who will let you practice on their server...

But most likely, nothing will be done about it. Stefan will sit in ignorance, not doing anything to better development on Graal...as usual.

Although we all agree I'm pretty sure this point has been restated multiple times already >.<

I wouldnt mind buying it for myself.. but i aint going to pay someone else's server when i dont even use it myself..

Now this might sound weird, but when its my own server i still have some profits on it.. on the side i could still develop my own server aside of it

Aside.. is that even a real word xd i meant like next to it or we

stefan is just blind

We should just make him do it or we all leave, if all the developers leave graal is dead.

Asking him for testbed will never work.
You need to ask for an offline NPC server emulator and scripting documentation and he'll give us a test server as a compromise and because it seems like a lot less work in comparison.

Interesting psychology there.

That seems to be what is happening to far.

Meh... I'll see what I can do about bringing it back up after Christmas or such, but I can't really spare 60-70$ right now just to watch 3 people idle on it.

Christmas presents can be expensive, with unemployment and all. xP

Or if you'd like, I could set up donations for it. lol
