    I suppose so... The first ten years went well enough, at least, yes?

    The eh, issue, you discovered, cannot be allowed to exist in a public release of the code, as we don't want anyone to easily be able to create malware out of the code. The game functions without, offline, and can't be used as such, as is. It's only that it's a simple matter to undo some things...

    Heh, like I said, we'll put a somewhat censored version of the code up in a sticky eventually. I'm also considering adding more members to the archivist crew who have the whole ~20GB shebang - already added one more than originally intended.

    It's no accident that the fact that we're working from Deralia on out means that your maps will be among the first added back in. I'd say more than that, and say something about your other project, but I don't want to make either of you a target. Also sorry about the parents fighting, it...

    Valheim is definitively a game that has my full approval, and tell Richard we send him our love. (No homo.) Sad thing is, he's not even blonde. ;)

    Save data's the same, it's the bits loading it. Something it doesn't like about certain item combinations, mostly likely, but not sure, as it tends to either stop characters in the series from coming up (eg. you see slot 1, but not 2&3) or they are locked (can't activate any of them), or you...

    Keeping the servers running doesn't run too much into development time with a community this small. I suppose if it got huge, the rollback and drama do combine to be a bit much sometimes, but I don't foresee that, and it's easier to get people who can handle rollback repairs, than who can handle...

    No... I.... Really don't know how some of you read these things into statements like that. We haven't had a patch, in almost six years. That version number, NOV2015a, should be pretty self-explanatory. What exactly do you think is going to change for you as a player, if we start over on the...

    Well... Jeeze... I am being reminded how bad I am with TL;DR. The truth is very little is actually changing in the short term. MSC will continue as is, for as long as the host is willing to continue it. But I've given up on trying to patch this thing. It's causing too much trauma for too many...

    For the sake of the archivists..... The development paradox is, yeah, another issue that kinda makes this all moot. We've had issues with a lot of old characters loading into the game, nor can we seem to strike a balance with the new code and the old scripts. The NOV2015a patch is in this very...

    I've already had a rather lengthy discussion with the individual so afflicted, and we've come to an understanding. (And frankly I'm not entirely in agreement with the law that placed him in his red flag status, but I don't get a say in that state's laws.) The hope is the new management and game...

    Well, it can't continue here due to threats to both me and the host's businesses and life. But like I've repeatedly said, you can do whatever you like with it elsewhere, however much I doubt you'll have anymore luck with it. This is a development wall I spent years trying to climb over with your...

    Community will be open to help as ever, and finally have some input on some bottom level things I've previously been afraid to mess with. I'd say about half of the complaints, that aren't about the loot frequencies, which should also be done away with as described, are about stuff on that level...

    No one else capable is picking up the torch. Not familiar with what word I've gone back on, beyond "no character resets", but we don't have a choice there, even if not for this latest fiasco. No version of the game is available that doesn't eat half of old characters. I mean, if you'd rather I...

    Well, once he prompted for the media contest, MSC's last chance for breath was made manifest, I'll give you that. It failed, also somewhat predictably, but that was the extent of the plan at the time. He'd already proven he'd become a better person when he started working on a map, and actually...
