I'd host it over my connection... Ive got 1.5mb upstream, should be PLENTY for a text based RPG :) hehe. I may be able to run it off of the FragTek webserve as well.

Someone find this!!!

[ShooterJM]

I found something called legend of the green dragon, is that what you guys are talking about? Seems to be an updated version of LoRD that's net capable

[FragTek]

Send it this way man :) I wanna take a look at it none the less w00tage!

Thanks!

Can't download it at work, but you should be able to get it here.

A warning though, I read that you can expect about 45 megs worth of bandwith per player per month.

Hrmmm, it looks like it requires shell access to set it up, and Ipowerweb doesnt offer me shell access Well actually... I think they do, I will contact them about it and see if they will let me run it! I wanna host this so bad!

45mb/player/month isnt too bad, I dont expect to have thousands of active users :)

Thx for linking, I will see what I can do and report back to you!

What you found shooter is a new one on me.. /me dusts off his memory

I'm almost certain it was damn near the same to the BBS version in every respect, including the title..

Who knows, maybe you're on to something regardless

Completely unrelated note, I got an A on my philosophy paper that I wrote 2 hours before class

Check out this site, we could probably set up something like this somehow.

It looks like there Telnet server is down I wanted to log in and play some LoRD!

How would I go about hosting this on my own computer without the use of a BBS server to make it available on the net? Anyone know?

U show me the way, and I shall follow through

[Gotenks]

hey southpaw, are you a boxer?

[Southpaw]

No I am not a boxer I am just left handed

[spazzed]

Anyone have any luck finding anything yet?

Even if there isn't a 'net version perse, then telnet'ing would be the shizzle... Come on folks, we MUST play

[ShooterJM]

what the heck IS telenet?

[MaChu]

What the heck are you guys talking about?

[spazzed]

Think BBS fun, sans the modem ... Goes through your 'net connection instead of dialing up.

Found a buttload of BBS files, some LoRD stuff in here:

I just want a web based telnet version of LoRD, so I can play 24/7 non-stop, and never get any sleep for the next 365 days :)
