Well - I've gotten it running now on my local machine... But I've not been able to test it completely. Something wasn't working with the chat thing, so instead of waiting longer, I chose to simply put the site live, and hope that all you wonderful lot jumping around trying to break my new computer should help identify any errors that might occur.

If anything seems wrong, slow, incorrect, broken, doesn't work, calls your attention, etc -- let me know! The database restore was from way back in 2007 -- so, I don't know exactly when it went down, but it's possible that some of the things that you have done were lost. For this I sincerely apologise. I am also a little bit new to the code again, after the changes made by my contemporaries, and would like to both tune and optimize it.

Finally, and for the first time ever -- we are on our very own, 100% dedicated server! (almost). At the least, while this _is_ my personal box, the nice shiny new gaming card that I bought won't run with it at this time, and I've got a Windows server standing by for when I am ready to port it once again . I will certainly port Skylords before I ever install Windows again!! . :-d :-d :-d :-d .

And now -- let the beta stress test begin!!!

It has been a while. Nevertheless, at some point in the past, the price to hyperjump was indeed raised, as I see here:

// define ('JUMP_RES8', 50);
define ('JUMP_RES8', 100);

So - it looks like it's 100 now :/.

I'm offering my heartfelt thanks as well Iiri, for all of the hard work. I'm sure most of us had given SL up for dead long ago, but to see it revived...wel, it's fantastic. Even better, I have all of my h/ws!
