I've got a basic infrastrcuture of shops and quests laid down, I've added a decent sized port and I've divided Lower Skullport into two, smaller maps. Load times are good, and I'm about ready to enter beta.
We need a DM team before this server can go Live. Please step up. I'll be working on Skullport/Waterdeep for a while, so you'll have me as a builder for the first stages.
I'll be hosting throughout beta, and I'm a potential Live host now that I'm getting ADSL2 at my place. It's got a theoretical upload of 1000KB/second, which obviously won't offset the length of the pacific and atlantic oceans, but it will provide much better stability in combat. Sadly upload is counted to my bandwisth usage, so my 25GB per month deal may not be the best for the long-term job, but we'll see.
The churn is happening over the next few days, so sometime next week I should be able to get the server up for testing. PWC files will be very small (under 100MB). I think it's important to get another server as soon, and given the relatively small size of Skullport, it's probably a good candidate. Looking forward to hearing from interested DMs.
