Olvand

Woseseltops |

Olvand is a little multiplayer sandbox RPG, where the players live in self-built towns and can go on all kinds of adventures together. Imagine living with your friends in a small town in the mountains, or creating a new group of friends in a pub in the metropole you all live in. There will be several mini-games the inhabitants of a server can play together, among which will be combat based games like King of the Hill or Capture the Flag. You will be able to play against other people in your city, or as a city against another city, or as a whole server against another server. The combat works with self-built guns, in which all kinds of powers can be combined to create unique effects.

So I'm running a server, courtesy of Anotherdayanotherga.me (me :P).

To connect to it, use "ADAG" as the IP address. I'll probably not be a strict server owner, but I will be beating down people that aren't very nice. :P

I'll try to have 100% uptime, but it's hosted from my house, so I can't guarantee that.

Enjoy!

Looks great, thanks! Concerning the uptime, please consider my post in the other thread:

(2) For the people already in, the game doesn't seem to have real staying power. From what I can see, players play the game quite intensively the first two-three days, but then forget about it. I hope to fix this in the next updates, for example by making the achievements more visible in game. I expect this place to be full of activity again once I start inviting new players again - my list of players wanting an invite is HUGE :).


My expectation is that your server will be empty most of the time for now :(. It's of course totally up to you, but if I were you I would start with the 100% uptime once the new wave of testers (and old players trying the update) comes in. I'll send you a message when that is in any case. I expect that to be soon, by the way, as roughly 80% of what I want to implement is done.

Well, I was planning 100% uptime but shortly before I checked my messages I saw that I forgot to change the computer to not go to sleep, so I'll just aim for "closest to 100% I can get."

I'm not concerned with it being empty a lot. Just concerned with it running. :)

I think that goes for server admins in general, and not just for Olvand ;).

Alright then :). I just tried it, by the way, and it worked great!

Go figure. Server went down right as I go out of town haha. I'll be back on Sunday, but until then, I can't put it back up. Not sure what went wrong. I left the server computer on.

Hey. Sorry, life got busy. I'll get the server back up tomorrow or Friday when things calm down again. :)
