Linux Server and MMORPG
« on: August 09, 2004, 12:19:29 pm »
I was thinking of colocating a box and running a free private mmorpg on it, I was wondering if that was available here or if you knew where it could be available with other MMORPGS. Nothing to complicated, more for my friends to login and create characters.



Bit of a newb but up for the challenge....


Please don\'t throw rocks at me.

Planeshift relies on donated/sponsored server space from fragnetics, not sure if they have what you want but you could check out fragnetics.com to see what they offer.

Uh, from the looks of it you want to run a private server for planeshift. This is quite a daunting task... see http://www16.brinkster.com/acraig/buildmb.html for info on setting up an MB server. due to liscensing constraints, you cannot use the official artwork on your private server, and I think that the RPG rules are also under that liscense... You could run a server with all the maps Laanx has, but it would involve much jiggery-pokery and may not even be entirely legal!

This isn\'t a forum on writing MMORPGs and running servers for them, nor is it for running a technically illegal \"shard\" for mainstream mmorpgs like evercrack and UO. For that stuff, try poking around on a web BBS dedicated to a topic or topics that are more relevant to your question. This forum is for technical help and assistance with running Planeshift only. You may want to try posting under Hydlaa Plaza... If you are asking about running shards, that is....

note: the two paragraphs may not seem to go together since one was to answer your post one way it can be interpreted and the other answers the other way one might interpret it.
