It is now a space oriented graphical MUD/game based on the charactures from Bajor3D. It also now has its own stand-alone client/server, therefore it is no longer MUCK dependent. It is currently being developed on Linux/X and as of version .55 will compile on any UNIX system."<p> And it sure is pretty! I can't wait to check it out! | XShipWars 0.76 | new | |

| 40 | 2 | 1998-12-26 20:58:04 | In case you're one of the two people who cared in the first place, we're no longer running a BZFlag server at games.medina.net. See, the server is running FreeBSD, and although its Linux emulation works great for running Quake servers, the BZFlag server likes to crash or get really flakey on occasion. This is certainly not the fault of BZFlag, a wondrous game, but rather a result of our running it in emulation mode under a foreign OS. <p> So the BZFlag server bites the dust and the world mourns...but somehow we'll all find the strength to continue. | BZFlag server is dead | default | |
