Damara is up and running again. Check Server Information for IP address. Thanks to Mezter for hosting it. Coming down to the last week before I move as well so soon I will be completely off the radar for awhile. Enjoy things. Within a month I should be back to updating things on a semi wrrkly basis.

Well a lot has been said in the forums. The server has been down the last couple of days (along with my internet connection) due to an ISP fubar. Up and running now but under a new IP address. Please note this will be a temporary IP address as once I am reconnected in NC I will have yet a new IP address. Of course that should be the last IP address I will chnage to for at least a few months. Sorry for all the trouble. Despite no longer running DM events the server will be up daily except in the evenings PST then the evenings EST once I have moved.

A few things. First I have had to put the news into Archives. I am going to update this web page every Wednesday. Which means new news on Wednesdays.
First if any of you reading this are scripting gurus or even simply decent scripters Damara is looking for scripters. We have builders galore but scripting is suffering (only I can script and then it only slightly resembles script when I finally manage to do it).
Also a group went into the southwest and cleanerd out the Orcs this past week. Unfortunately as it was not a Guild turn the wipe out was only temporary. More on guild turns and the significance of wiping a map clean in them in the forums in the future. The first true guild turn has not come yet and will likely not until we either have a few guilds in or I reach a point where I feel Damara is big enough. Yes I keep expanding, You want me to stop? ;)
Alright. This same group, give or take a few members, also waltzed into the Goblin Caverns and nearly got their tales handed to them. In the end they were victorious with but one death. The deceased was thankfully raised as well.
Lots of custom items out there now. Always taking requests. At some point I will dole the duty out to one of the DMs in specific. Oryon has volunteered to do so but until I whip him into being on Damara more often I will continue to do the job.
Started working on Trail's End also. I expect to update to the 2nd Build soon. Right now if you have been keeping pace with the Builds we are still on Build 1.. but up to my 33rd revision. Lots of new areas and content to be in Build 2. I hope... a very simple thing hope... to have Build 2 up in March.
Build 2 will expand Damara to include the following:
The Long Road as far south as the border of Impiltur (Ilmwatch is in Ilmpiltur by the way)
Trail's End (This is a 4 area city of 14,000 people so expect lots of NPCs and such here)
Several new caves and a couple of dungeons.
An expansive underdark (planning on nearly 20 underdark areas which will mirror the surface above them. A determined under dark adventurer could go from the Giant Spires to Trail's End all underground eventually)
The Druid's Circle ( A very prominent Druid's Circle is supposed to reside in the Rawlins just southwest of Tellerth)
More of the Rawlinswood.
ATS (A custom version. This may end being held off until Build 3 thoug or I may use the new MTS that is being made now by a friend of mine named Lord_Drow)
