Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sorry for the downtime folks.  My overworked router finally gave up the ghost after several years of respectable performance.  We have a backup router filling in, but it isn't dialed in like the other one was so things are a little less than optimal.  We took a major step towards fixing the memory leak last week.  It's not entirely resolved, but we're only looking at a few megs a day vs. tens of megs per day like it was before, and I believe I know where some of the remaining issues lie (tracking).

I'm working with SignalR to see what we can do in terms of plugging web into the realm.  Expect to see the ability to view communications and issue commands from the web shortly.  I'm also embarking on a new MUD with the same technology that will be completely independent of GMUD and MMUD.  I'm looking to find some way to make some money so ideally I'm no longer forced to work a shit job for 50+ hours a week just trying to pay the bills and finding time to work on something I actually enjoy.  The basic idea is we won't be dealing with tens or hundreds of players, but thousands or even tens of thousands.  Probably all new content in that realm.  Scripting will be built into the server and play nice with the web-client.  More details soon on that.

Anywho, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year to everyone.  Best wishes to you and your family for a great new year.

PS. On a personal note, my wife is about 5 months pregnant with our first child.  We're to find out the sex of the baby on Monday.  I don't care if it's a boy or a girl; I just want him/her to be healthy and happy.  By necessity, in the next six months and beyond some priorities will change.

First Baby? Congratz!  You're in for a fun and wild ride.  I have five kids myself.  :)

I'm not quite sure what's going on with the dates.  I only posted that a few days ago.

It's because the date/time on your forum server is off :)  It says this is 2007.

Hmm... heh, how did it get that far off?

Y2k, a little late?

Congratulations Vitoc, really good to hear such excellent news. About the baby I mean, creating two Muds simultaneously sounds like a madman's proposition :).

I understand the desire to do so, after all the nonsensical design that has been enforced on you in MajorMud, it would be nice to play a realm that actually made some kind of sense and could be more easily managed and balanced. I'd definitely give it a go.
