I'm all about taking in new staff to help admin, code, and update. So yes, I agree I'm all about looking people who want to help to join in.

Since this is a unique server(other than a lot of new solo servers poping up since the idea started), its best that it keeps walking on its own feet. If you don't agree, you're free to disagree and play elsewhere. I don't want to help another server because I feel if you create something, especially quite unique, you want to keep true to the cause that started it all.(How many diablo knockoffs are there?!) So I'm staying loyal to my dream and my players.

It is a total player whipe, but the DB stays. Due to the fact that the different early betas had advantages to leveling that the most recent players didn't have it was unfair and unbalanced. So moving forward, everyone starts on an even keel. It took a lot of biting my tounge, especially since we had over 2k unique accounts and about 4k characters on it. But I think everyone had fun with the first version, saw how easy it was to level up, and now everyone equal again it will be just as fun. As usual, my 0% tolerance rule will quickly ban anyone who effects other players(grudges against me are fine...cause everyone has the write to complain/suggest).

But back to the staff. I'm not handing out GM titles to anyone. You've got to prove to me in many ways that you've capable of doing it. Basically if you're asking me for the title, you're guaranteed not to get it. My staff is players that go above and beyond their character to make it a good experience for everyone. Those are the people I approach and ask for them to join my staff. That way we don't have egos, a-holes, or a newbie running around. I'd rather have no staff than a bunch of underachievers. It might make slow growth, but I'd rather have constant and good growth than having random luck on quality.

So just a warning John Adams, I'm back.

As far as sharing my code, I always do. Everything I find, see, change, and test is always in John Adam's or the appropriate forum's threads.

I'm just a thinker, not a coder, so I usually bring it to the pro's to do the updates in CVS.

And as far as the DB, that's to come soon as well. Just need to get my website udpated to allow that. Then we'll add a new version to the PEQ/Angelox/Irreverent mix. I'm still working on the versioning and updating portions of the database since its both perl and rows that have been greatly changed.
