RunUO teams up to help Sphereserver
As many of you may have already noticed Sphereserver is in a world of hurt right now. I spoke with Nix today who is one of the original Sphere developers and we had a very good conversation about helping get Sphere back on its feet and back in the hands of the people who really developed it and back on track. Unfortunately for Nix (and Westy) they do not own the Sphereserver domain any more. Nix is the original owner of the domain but the entire Sphere project was taken over and put into a strangle hold by "Damian".
Due to recent events it appears that the entire Magichat network is off line which includes the Sphereserver site. Of course if you go to the Irth Online site (a by product of Sphere) you will see that they are having "router issues" which is an absolute load. If it were truly a router problem you wouldnt even get that page.
Regardless for a long time I've owned sphereserver.org and will be transferring it to Nix and Westy and they will be launching a site for Sphereserver there shortly. I'm not sure what exactly they plan to do with it but I will tell you this... they ARE the true brains behind Sphereserver they are the ones that made Sphere what it is and they will provide a good place for Sphere users to live. I know this doesnt really concern a lot of our users but it's the only "fair" place they can get some publicity and they are very good friends of the UO Server community and deserve the respect of everyone here.
This is an example of how this community is bigger than RunUO or Sphere this is an example of how teams should work together to ensure that everyone gets what they need. This goes back to the days of sharing information and working together rather than being hateful toward each other...
I would hope that you can all follow the example that we are setting here and refrain from attacking Sphere and any other similar project that "competes" with RunUO. It's time to welcome Sphere back with open arms no matter how we feel about it.
Nix and Westy are great people... they deserve the utmost respect from this community as well as any other communities that deal with UO Servers.
Hopefully it wont be too long before you see their site come online with some sort of update. I'll be kicking off a domain transfer which could take a few days but I wanted to get the word out to the world that Sphere is not dead and that the true developers of Sphere will once again have a home to share with you what is going on with Sphere.
As for Damian... I don't like you and wont pretend I do, however... good luck with your personal problems and I hope you pull through. Times are obviously tough right now and I wouldn't wish such problems on anyone... even if they threatened to sue me before.
