I was never graced with the source code. I would've loved to get my hands on it (I even asked George about it myself)... but RTC is George's baby and he always wanted to keep the source private.

Re: INN OF LOST SOULS: general chit-chat thread

@Ameena: I was Aurek the Paladin. And I remember that DnD game, it was awesome!
@Gambit: I looked at making dungeons for DSB, but I remember that at the time RTC was easier on the brain. I'll have to look into it if I ever get time.

Thanks for the warm welcome back.

Hello all! After many years of absence, I've been resurrected. The last time I posted on here, I was almost due to become a father (my son is now 10yo)... well, having a child and a full time job has left me very little time over the years.

Re: Intermittent service

DoS attacks are probably the most common form of attack. And, yeah, I've seen that they can become quite a pain-in-the-ass to stop... especially if the attacker has many computers at their disposal (the attacks coming from several different locations... much harder to stop).
