Default wyvern-server

what i donīt understand is why r. isnīt renting some root-server from a professional.
here in germany you get some decent hardware (probably a lot better than the existing wyvern-server) from a _serious_ provider with unlimited bandwith for about 30-40€ (40-60$) a month.
iīm sure community would pay for that... itīs about one $ for every active player. i would even rent the server on my own and care about payment, so r. only had to upload his stuff and get the server running.
there would be no 10.000$ to pay and no worry about hardware-failures.

damn, i miss wyvern

have a nice sunday

That sounds like it'd work out for everyone! A lot of us want to see the revival of Wyvern, and then R probably doesn't want to fuss over the game. Everyone wins!

Binsenkind please do as Tesh said and e-mail him! That'd be awesome

Good Luck!

*nods*

me only knew the two cohen-songs from the soundtrack of natural born killers and loved them much so i went two years ago with a good friend to berlin to visit one of his rare concerts and it was really unbelievable.
totally passed out in a positive way and have so much respect now to this man and his decent but marvelous performance.
one of the best days in my life for sure.

*bows*

Well done, Binsenkind. The Dwarves may save us yet! I look forward to hearing back from R.

Yea me too. Keeping hope for all the Wyverneers out there! If this works you should be memorialized in-game. Statue in Minath I think?

This sounds like a great idea, Bisenkind. I look forward to seeing what R thinks about it. ^^

1) i hope r. will answer you binse, better sonner than later. All games to hell i want wyvern back. I keep up hoping, that R. will do it.

2) that video is awsome i love that song. Mr Cohen made a really strong song. You would have been visiting Muggy.

3) Pratchett is really great .

Hmm...will be interesting.. Oh and 3d games are harder to make than one would expect..

Um, I hate to sound like I'm nitpicking, but I don't see how that last line had any relevance to this thread... and you do realize that Wyvern alone consists of over a million lines of code?

*That is all*

Actually last time I heard R talk about the number of lines it was about half a million, most of it Java. So that means at least 25% of that is meta-information (class headers, variable definition/initialization, method definitions), empty lines and comments.

That sounds about right for a program like Wyvern. Although I agree, a 3d game would be a major boatload of lines of code over that. Which is why most of those games are coded by teams.

I could've had my numbers mixed up, but I thought that was the number I heard. My point was that coding a game isn't easy, period. It's a lot of hard work. Even the simplest of games can take significant effort, let alone 3D.
