[*]30-50 player limit for free version/Unlimited player limit for payed version[/*:m]
[*]Ability to give players godly powers *(read more about this below)[/*:m]
[*]To be able to turn on a 5-10 second timer till server shutdown[/*:m]
[*]Being able to minimize the server window to the system tray[/*:m][/list:u]
*Godly powers will be given to those players who moderate the game or basically own the game. With these abilities, your normal characters will be able to ban players, and get user info. (good for those who arnt running the server, yet you would like them to have those abilities).

01 Dec 2003, 18:13A lot of these are on my "to do" list already, although minimising to the tray is a new one, so I've added it. "Godly powers" I've addressed in the Quest Developer forum. I haven't decided on user limits for the final versions yet. I think 30-50 for the free version is rather excessive though. But if you keep the suggestions and bug reports coming you may be lucky

However, looks good Alex 8)

01 Dec 2003, 20:27Absolutely my friend, an Online Roleplaying Multi-User Dungeon.
or in some cases...
Multi-User domain
Multi-User dimension
Should be fun, and i've realise ASL isnt that limited at all, just have to figure out how to do things.

01 Dec 2003, 21:23MUDs are awesome but I could never get into them since I have dialup. I'm never online which was frustrating. I used IRC a lot, however.

01 Dec 2003, 22:25I used to have dialup but now I'm restricted to school usage cause I think my friend cut me off from the dialup (it was his). Cause I'm 16yo I don't have my own.

01 Dec 2003, 22:34if you can get Quest to run i dont see why you wouldnt be able to connect to a WAN IP and 10001 port. I'll try from college tomorrow too, i'll leave my server running.
