TFG Updates

There have been a TON of major updates to the Fairy Garden.

1) MCP-Server finally sent me an email saying they were shutting down free service at the end of October. So with this confirmed, I opened up a new service with Vermaxhosting. And they didn't let me pick my own port, so the online service, whenever it's on is at:
Address: vermaxhosting.com
Port: 9304

2) I've also been hosting the server from my own laptop with a free DNS thingy.. That is at:
Address: fairygarden.no-ip.org
Port: 3349

3) We have a new player: Lynara, from Achaea, who has actually been debugging a TON of stuff within the last week. It seems to be her area of expertise. But of course, I've told her not to break the world..just a few bugs at a time please!! ;)

4) We've upgraded to 1.8.4p1. Fun fun.

5) I want a TON like I said I had, so here's a fifth bullet point.

Anyway, I can't think...no wait. oh here's something else.

6) The localhost fairygarden.no-ip.org one even has a nice website with wiki and Shimmie and I already announced this didn't I? Yes I did. I recall seeing the Shimmie tag in one of my previous posts. Never mind. Carry on.

Anyway, I can't think of anything else right now..so take care and have fun.

Websites Websites Websites

I love websites. I love how they don't work sometimes and you have to find backups!

So I've been trying to get my fairy garden thing together. But my free host keeps shutting off..like...they run out of money to keep it online, so they just turn the server off or something. Therefore I have kind of switched over fully to my backup system. It'll be easier to maintain anyway.

And on top of THAT, I can create a better fully-featured website to provide an information portal.

The information for the new server is:

HTTP: http://fairygarden.no-ip.org
Telnet: fairygarden.no-ip.org
Port: 3349

It will not be on every day all day for a number of reasons, but if it is on, everything will be available to you.

Hey all you! Guess what? I have started a Google Site thingy. Actually, it's more for the Fairy Garden, since I want to be able to put information up about that without having to use the default web space given to me by YourMUD.net. So if any of you haven't gotten into the garden or don't even have a nice client to do so with, maybe I'll try getting a client up there if possible. But in either case, I'm going to start putting fun-ness up on that thing. Oh, you'll probably want to know where it is..it's here: http://sites.google.com/sites/fairygardenmud. Enjoy! And hope to see you there.

The Fairy Garden

New PennMUSH is LIVE!! Whee! I'm so excited.

fairygarden.mcp-server.com
Port: 3349

Right now I don't have character creation enabled, so you'll have to email me or contact me in-game with one of the guest accounts what you want your name and password to be.

So, this would be in official terms, beta stage. Nothing is very interesting. Two areas, a plain and a forest..oh and a big tree inside the forest. Plus all the storage rooms and stuff. Anyhow, all you thousands of fans of mine (actually, three or four from what I can tell from the comments) can try it out if you want. Ideas are already pouring in from people..Loreen in particular. I'll have to sort through them and figure out what I want. But for now, it's just a basic 'let's get it working and make it interesting too' kind of stage.

We'll see. Let me know!

8-5-09

Hi everybody (all two or three of you)! Are I crazy or what? I feel totally nuts. So I found some time to spend in the Realm, which has proved very exciting. Of course, hanging out with friends sure kills the hunting and harvesting and exploring time I like so well, but that's to be expected and besides, I think I find my friends to be a whole lot more interesting.

Oh, I suppose you want an update on all my exploration activities and things. After all, nothing useful has been posted here since like March..except for the comic and the inspiration from Alynia..

So a few new places opened up (mostly islands) such as Lothos, Meropis, and some island south of Meropis. I managed to go to Lothos a while back and also was able to complete my attestation of the Marque of Unquestioned Seaworthiness (or whatever it's called when you complete it). So yeah..now I can sail and everything, although nobody's let me yet.

Maybe someday I'll buy my own boat and be happy sailing all by myself.

As for quests, I discovered how to find the Skolef in Green Lake. It's some wierd tentacle creature that can wrap you up and pin you against the wall. Nasty. Anyway, it's Green Lake and that's all you get for finding him. But either way, he's really cool.

Anything else of note? Not really. Actually, there IS some things such as Kongregate and how much I like it. But that's OOC and irrelevant.

OH! Another OOC-ish thing. Did I mention PennMUSH? I think I did..however, I've discovered a TON more on how to develop stuff. In fact, I discovered a whole website with a bunch of examples and tools and I can break them down and find out how things work and...well...things like that. I'm loving it!

Loreen? She's well. Have I mentioned Loreen? She's the BEST Xorani gal a little fairy like me could ever dream of. All my friends like her too, I think. I hope...

Anyhow, I think that's it for now. Maybe I'll also include PennMUSH tools and tips here. Or not..but maybe I will. Still I want to keep some of my ideas to myself, y'know. But with the amount of support (or lack of, I should say) I see online, SOMEBODY'S got to have SOMETHING on that whole system. And it might just have to be me if I can't find somebody else.

Okay. I'm done. Take care, ya'll!
