Hello all! I'm seeking several artists to create artwork for a project I'm working on. Looking for artwork in some of the following categories: Item artwork (weapons, potions, trinkets, artifacts, etc.) Creature artwork (sketches, full designs, poses, etc.) Scenes (nature, caverns...

Like what @judda said, a 500 error indicates a code issue, and changing the htaccess probably isn't going to get that fixed. Can you access the logs on the server? nginx logs for example would dump a more explicit error than 500 which could help.  failing to open stream sounds like a fopen or...

Super happy to see this. I know I've been out of the loop the last couple years but would love to get involved in some projects and see some revival in this community.

You can try pulling elements from other genres of games. Many MMO's have a storyline or campaign that's considered essentially a really long introduction, with the endgame being the looting, collecting, events, etc.  Try to make new content unlockable in some way. Don't just throw it in a...

I have a quick update for everyone! We are still on track for launching the BETA soon, we're just doing some final testing of a bug reporting feature we built for BETA testers, tweaking some economy changes and testing an overhaul to the creation UI. I'm really excited about these things...

Yes, but the access code for the beta will be through the emails only. We're not anticipating an incredibly long beta period before final launch though, probably a few weeks at the longest. 

Thank you guys! I'm really looking forward to the beta :) 

In just a few weeks, a project much like squiby.net once was will be launching a closed beta. We are looking for interested testers to help us find bugs in the system but also to give us feedback about UI, features, community policies and the like. Anyone who is interested in joining the beta or...

Yes, I love Stripe. Currently working on a project that utilizes their Stripe Connect and Recurring Payments functionality and I was very, very impressed with their documentation and support. If you have any questions I seriously recommend reaching out to them because not only will they answer...

Only the former. Information shared publicly of oneself does not need to be encrypted. The only thing with forums/chats/etc you may want to think about is dealing with the removal of info if the original poster would like it removed or removing info one user posted that was personally...

Pulling from MMORPG games, many of them use time as a way to sort of break up potentially repetitive things. Time to re spawn targets, time to restock stores, time before you can do xyz again, or you have to do xyz before this time for this reward.  In addition to physical rewards for...

The GDPR is very vague, but maybe some food for thought can clear it up a bit. As a general rule, the GDPR is considered to cover the following areas:  Basic identity information such as name, address and ID numbers Web data such as location, IP address, cookie data and RFID tags Health...

Using SSH in place of normal terminal logins would mostly resolve this. You can also use firewalls to block access of database and ssh ports from all IP addresses except your own. I wouldn't go into production with a server you're unfamiliar with but personally I'd actually prefer to experiment...

Hey everyone! So my life has -finally- settled down and most of my major projects have wrapped up so I'm looking for a new one to jump into! For those who don't know me or my background I'm a developer with over 10 years of coding experience. I prefer primarily to work with PHP and Laravel. My...
