Since Mammon quit, I think it's a good time to finally put HR out of its misery. There's no future for this stuff. Every programmer ends up shitting the bed.

 :)  Ok folks. Mammon can't get in to the server anymore.
 Is there anyone that can maybe shrink the map a bit or something? 

It's Halloween for craps sake!

I would like to make a suggestion to bring Mo back to the game, its been awhile since the game had any Mo or things Mo related, its in a rather sad state and maybe it could help :p

I don't know what the falling out you had with Mo. That said, while he was around and working? It was nice. There were updates and even a feeling that there was someone listening - even if things didn't change. If I recall, the falling out was over a wholly different project. Is there any chance of you two burying the hatchet? I think HR still has life in it (Hell, Urban Dead is still going too), and I'm coming up on 12 years here (off and on).

Me, I'd love a way to spend my XP and keep leveling up and the group list could probably use some clean up . So many trolls created so many groups, its like a deletion shopping list!

Anyhow, 12 years of HR - I'd be sorry to see it go.

It's just really, really hard to find a programmer who:

1.) Knows what they're doing.
2.) Does what they're asked. (Instead of, you know, doing their own project which would make them happier.)
3.) Does it for free or for small payments. (Donations were split between me for domain/hosting and whichever dev I was working with at the time.)

Scroll Wars died because of 1 and 2.

1 introduced a fuckton of bugs and other problems, 2 introduced features I wasn't even told/asked about that caused huge game play problems while the fixes and features asked for were ignored. etc. etc. etc.

...and hey, I can totally understand that being annoying and troubling as all Hell (and I never played Scroll Wars).

But, with you saying that you are ready to pull the plug on a few occasions, and an apparent lack of updates since Mo left - it just doesn't seem like your heart is in it. That isn't an accusation and, I freely admit, I could be wholly mistaken. I understand that finding people that fit all three of those categories can be tough - not just in programming but in any creative endeavor. That's complicated by the fact that we all feel very passionately about our creative output and, sometimes, folks can forget who the client is (in this case - you).

On the flip-side, Mo still seems passionate about, or at least engaged with, HR. I just wish you two could bury the hatchet, that's all. Obviously, the relationship between you two wasn't perfect, but HR felt more like a living, breathing thing when it had both of you.

Regardless, twelve years and going is an amazing achievement. There are players who were in HS when they started playing who still drop in and look around with wonder and nostalgia. YOU did that. You created something that, if gone tomorrow, people would genuinely miss. Then there are those of us who are still around....and I think most of us don't plan on leaving....and would love to see things pick up again. Sure, there has been the troll-problem (which is difficult to address), and I don't know as things will ever return to the heyday of launch when 100+ people would be running around killing each other in real time. But, Urban Dead is still going and still has active users - and Hell Rising is the superior game.
