Short Assistance Request...

The goal is for my server to be somewhat similar to the Firiona Vie server on live. I've disabled the no drop flag. I am going to implement bots, but limit the number you can spawn to one or 2. I haven't made the final decision yet. I figure my server will have a low population and limited bot use may help make up for that somewhat. I made another run at the port-forwarding settings on my router if someone wants to try to connect and report back.... Thanks in advance!

I am able to login now with SoD client. Initial ping time of 108ms. Ping time dropped to 87ms after zoning.

Thanks so much for logging in and reporting back guys! I'm glad I seem to have my router settings straight. 87 seems like a pretty decent ping. I think that is about what I run when I play on Grand Creation. Now I need to continue the tweaking and make sure everything is as stable as possible. I have my old Windows XP computer running my server in the basement and I have it set to restart the entire computer every day at 4:45 AM, then I have a batch file in my start-up folder that runs the server. I'm hoping that daily resets would help to minimize any downtime to just a few minutes in the wee hours. I want to see if I can figure out a way to automatically backup my database at regular intervals on a thumb drive or something, too. Thanks again guys for trying a few times until I got my settings right!

I think I've got Universal chat working properly on Firiona Reborn. If someone wants to try to log a character on and send an e-mail to my character Gnorman, that would be a help! I can send an e-mail to him from a character logged into my server from my same network, but I'd like to see that characters on my server from outside my network can use UCS. Hopefully I have my router forwarding correct on that now, as well! Thanks in advance!
