Global Scripting Team and PWA along with a few other trusted developers.

Sounds good.

[Deas_Voice]

great!

so, we are getting a server or is it going to be a player owner server?

[Tigairius]

We can start small for now though, if we can get a server to start it on we can get this started. It was Houdini's idea to begin with, so he'll be helping manage it and then we'll build from there.

We need to find means of a server though. We'll get it started ASAP instead of sitting around talking about it. At first you'll need to let us know that you want an RC there, then you can have it. Maybe in the future it can be such a large server that everyone can automatically have their own little 'corner' to themselves without even having to ask.

I like this idea. Plus, I get asked a lot of questions, and it would be nice to have a special place to help people directly with their scripts.

Exactly. It would be ideal for this.

When I had the Developers Circle I made a list of rules and tips for people. Such as telling them to back-up data as frequently as possible. I let them clearly know they were responsible for their stuff, not me. So on and so forth. So in case anyone ever deleted crap, or the server was taken back, they would have a back-up.

Just let people know their stuff is in their own hands, and **** happens... if they can't accept that then too bad.

I agree with this idea.

This also gives scripters who are more familiar with the new implimentation an opportunity to expand their knowledge on different subjects they may be clueless or weak on without having to worry about damaging a public server, or if they arent employed on any playerworld.

And like Houdini said, you'd be responsible for your own work if some kind of security is not added to the server.

Then again, only a fool would screw around with an opportunity like this

Or perhaps they want to ruin it for others. There are certain groups that would certainly try to abuse this.

This is why it's best to take things into your own hands. Much like theft in real-life.

Sure, it sucks that people can, and will go breaking into cars and steal yours... and it sucks that the police will most likely not be able to do something. But at the end of the day, perhaps the best thing you can do is have an alarm and other safety features installed, to protect your stuff by yourself.

Graal, just like life, will never be 100[percent] fullproof, and even if that was implemented, and even if they took all the measures they can to protect you and your scripts... it's best just to take things into your own hands.

It seems a lot like it, although on a bigger scale.

The server would have to be enabled for Classic accounts as well though, or the whole purpose of it would be gone.

[Pelikano]

They should.

[HoudiniMan]

We have a server!

Our sincere thanks to Clockwork for the use of his rented space for this project!

For now I have renamed the server to Testbed Server.

We've moving now fellas, next on my list is to get classic accounts enabled.
Don't expect any ironic timing posts on this one, it will probably take a while.
