Testbed Server

[DarkReaper0]

What's the protocol going to be for when someone makes a script that automatically lags the npc-server to hell every time it's created?
Regardless of whether it was accidental.

Also, is there any way to prevent weapons/classes/npcs that don't belong to you from showing up in RC, or would that require an update of the RC client?

At the moment everyone will get as many classes, weapons, and DB NPCs as they wish. I was thinking about that last night. It's not currently possible but hopefully it will be possible if this idea takes off and we can get that customized GServer/NPC-Server we're gunning for.

All things will be dealt with based on the situation. I don't want to give any of that sort of information for server security purposes.

Everyone will get their own folder for heads, bodies, images, sounds, etc. So this isn't just for scripters. This is for improving the whole development pool.

Such a great idea then, hope it will succeed !

Great to see this happening, I'll help in any way I can.

Okay, we're accepting beta testers for the server to use the server for their own personal needs. It's still very far from being complete, but the more people we have testing the server the better we can stamp out security problems. Right now it's only for gold members.

When you log on you will receive a signup button in your blue graal taskbar in which you can apply for RC/NC. Everyone will get the same amount of folder rights no matter which development position you click (except for NPC-Control, which you can apply within in the sign up form if you're interested).

By default everyone on the server has warpto rights, but are not allowed to warp in to locked levels, etc.

For those worried about the 'bad' people that are there to just cause trouble. Wouldn't this actually be a good thing in the long run? It would make it quite public that these people should not and can not be trusted and they would soon find themselves unable to get a staff position on any server that is trying to develop seriously. Word spreads very fast amongst developers when someone resorts to theft or server destruction when they are attacking their own kind. I've had discussions that there should be some sort of list of those people that can be made public for awhile now but no real way to implement it. This seems like it would help in that implementation by default.

I don't know how fair a list like that would be; I've certainly done things several years ago when I was ~9 years old that would get me on that list, and as far as I know, I can be trusted now to develop.

Well, obviously over time people could work their way off that list. Everyone makes mistakes when they're younger.

Yea, obviously. But we'd be talking about the here and now. There are certain people who's quest in life is to do nothing but steal content and claim it as their own or trash servers. If nobody was willing to hire them then it just might make them decide that kind of fun isn't much fun anymore.

Damn, they must have sad lives if that's their quest in life.

You know, there is this thing thats called stupidity.
It seems to be common, haven't you heard?

I really have to say, I like this project.
A lot!
Kudos!

It's not stupidity, it's civil disobedience. They're true Amerikan heroes.
