Auldsbel stays as a Mana World server

Posted by & filed under .

Thank you to everyone who voted in the poll to keep Auldsbel open. Even though we didn’t have a large amount of votes we still had enough for me to make my decision – Auldsbel will remain as a Mana World server.

New content is coming, slowly, but it’s coming. There may be a server reset (shouldn’t affect players, just our git repo) in about a month. A bit more work is required before the reset.

Diablo II server? Or TMW server?

As the title and the poll to the left suggest, after more than a year I’m considering taking the Auldsbel Mana World server down. It just seems there isn’t that much interest in this server anymore.

I’m thinking about replacing it with a Diablo II server (yes I know DIII is coming out).

Please vote on the poll to the right and leave comments.

This is a brief laundry list of things I have scheduled to do shortly – in no particular order:

  • Update the server code to match the main server. (fix the git problems)
  • Create an updates server just for Auldsbel.
  • Create a secondary test server (we had one before) for testing updates, push these to the actual server once the updates work.
  • Update the web site so developer communication works better.
  • Add more RAM to the server.
  • Check why web serving appears a little slower.
  • Add the online list to the web site menus.
  • Work on some more content/quests.

These are in no particular order. I’d also like to look at the map making application in order to create a few custom areas.

Welcome back!

After stumbling a few times I’ve managed to get the site back online in good order. There’s still more work than ever to do, but the good news is that we’ve ironed out most of the problems we had before.
