Perhaps.

Like I said, I don't want my post to be taken negatively. It's not "goodbye" or "abandon ship!"

I think when presented with challenges the point is not to say, "This won't work" but "How can we make this work?" Options a through g are all completely possible and I'm sure there are a lot of other ideas I haven't thought of. There absolutely always is a way.

And I appreciate your support and of course we can keep working together on things!

Of course, I agree with all of this! I'm glad you have a positive outlook on it.

I can't say I have a solution, but something I was thinking is /yes/ I will contemplate how the current game should be hosted, advertised, or even sold. And personally, I will work on hosting the browser based client in your place, once it's ready if you'd like. I have a decent computer dedicated to hosting my games. Why not host the browser based SoA server? I know it's a thought that is really only relevant to the future, but having some experience in hosting games for a company (my own) I would be more than glad to take that responsibility, especially since a lot of it is my work. Also, this could help with dealing with (when the time comes, that is) who will watch over the server.

I realize that I can't host your original server, but this is one thing that I find feasible and relevant overall.

Still leaves a lot of thought to be done, but this is what comes to mind as of today.

Also, sorry if this is rambly. Still not feeling well, but my consideration is out there.

Sounds good!

The new client is coming along; I believe I just finished fixing any bugs that were apparent during the last couple tests. Here's a quick report:

• Fixed a bug where player "paths" would interrupt one another from time to time
• Fixed exits, warps, and typical screen changes, such as when entering a building, or walking to the edge of the map

Other than that, some serverside stuff, but so far so good. 

Sorry about that - I'll let the comp rest and try it again in the morning. It seems to be able to last about 2 1/2 hours. Nice talking to you guys and take care!

Looking forward to seeing you again and chatting. I got the messages before the game went down (was afk when you typed them up.) Looking forward, as well, to the design of this new client!

In other news, the diagrams I said I would have for you by tomorrow will appear to be more like a rough storyboard. I will also send those when they are available.

Sounds very interesting. I'm putting a lot of consideration in attempting to take a lot of the FSO lingo code and translate it to Java. I'll try to map out how the program functions and see how feasible that is (within a 1 year time frame)

Now that would be interesting!

Bummer. 

Well, thanks for trying.
