Auntie Mangos

Let me jump in here: we do have a working reCAPTCHA, we do verify email addresses and do not let unverified users post, we use a random question upon registration, as I have written a module for that myself a while ago. It just might need more questions and answers to make it more "random". If you guys and girls feel like it, come up with a few cool questions/answers, and I will add them. Also I will add and enable the blacklisting module.

Thank you, BTW :-)

Yes of course.

It is this topic. As you can see, the previous posts are not in here but still in the installation section.

I've checked with the mangos settings, and found nothing special there. Just like described above. Probably poke github?

Different topic. Please do not hyjack threads for different topics. Besides, there is a configuration setting in mangosd.conf for what your want to achieve. mangos already can apply configured Xp rates.

... which is why we e.g. invest a lot of work into mangos-zero, because 1.12 was the start of all things, and every bit we get cleaned there will help all other branches, too.

The movement maps feature branch of mangos-zero now contains an initial backport of movement maps and can be tested.

It's slowly being merged branch by branch, as mentioned a few posts before.

Less merging and more unified work between the projects should rather increase the speed, since there is less double work done.

We will start to merge mmaps into the core soon.

Since there seems to be constant trouble with UDB, I would offer to supply a constant, stable home in terms of hosting if that would help.

Names can be changed if that is an issue, and things exclusive to TBC can still be done by those who prefer TBC over other branches. That shouldn't be an issue.

mangos-one and mangos-zero have been moved into their own github organizations along with the required scripting and database repositories for the specific branch. Both github.com/mangos/one and github.com/mangos/zero have been replaced with repositories finely crafted by Captain Placeholder revealing where the new repositories and their mates are. mangos-one now can be found at http://github.com/mangos-one/ and mangos-zero can be found at http://github.com/mangos-zero/.

The intention is to provide one spot for the user to go to in case he/she is looking for code, help, etc. We're not trying to fork scripting or database development, we're just trying to bundle that since it seems to trouble many users where to find that stuff. We're trying to make the project a little more usable, and accessible.

I second the thoughts about faramir118 and Schmoozerd, both do good work, and show constant improvements. There will be a few new crew members on board, and probably some new ship rules and guides incoming. However it's been good times, and different good times lie ahead.

What should I say?! All the best wishes for your future projects, Vladimir! It has been great to have you with us. I'll talk with a few people. It's been a long time, and perhaps it may be a time to make some take a step back and start going to new directions for the project in general. I'll not change your access to anything here, so that you can have a look and join us if you feel like it. It would be great if we could discuss some open ends in the next days if you have a few spare minutes.

We're effectively having a break to get some rest. No need to panic, we're no robots, and sometimes we need sleep, too.

It depends. People tend to hand out wrong mail addresses to get forum accounts, and we receive bad spam ratings for each time people then use password reminders and such. Besides tons of people have tagged us as spam according to the usual spam blacklists, which pretty much sucks.

Thank you, I sort of missed that.

Not really, why should you? Your account has not been banned, and will not be banned unless you violate our forum rules which you did not do. The replies above just tell you that you're looking for something we probably do not offer in the MaNGOS forums, just like asking for a hair cut at your coffee shop :-D

Issue resolved.

This is probably a misunderstanding. As Drevan nicely quoted this project is not here to supply people with easy fun servers but with a platform to learn cool things about development of such servers. People who want fun servers should IMHO stay away from the MaNGOS community. We can and do not want to help them.

We'll be using a different tool to send forum mails in the upcoming weeks. Sadly the mail issue is nothing easily fixed and will cost my money to fix it
