Dear all I work for a small start up ISP in England delivering Internet access via ADSL together with the Video On Demand system that the company started with, see the web page www.homechoice.co.uk for more details. My role is the development of services that we can offer to our customers, obviously we want to stand out from the crowd so that we can attract as many customers as possible to make money. Because of this I have been looking for some sort of online world that can justify spending time on line which off sets the cost of the ADSL compared to call charges. This I would want running on Linux because all of our servers run Linux, and personnaly I wouldn't allow an NT box near the cluster. :-) Having played Everquest I can see how this can become adictive I am looking for something in this vain. So I come to what you are doing. Okay, I only have the power to recommend having proved a service but I like what I have seen. With this I mind, and being a basic 'C' programmer as well, I was wondering if a) If I could have a copy of the server to test b) Is there any other things that you would need other than programmers that a sponser could provide assuming I could get the company I work for Interested. Remember, I can not promise anything and do not want to get hopes up, but working by the open source model a company that took on such a thing could use it for advertising purposes. This I can use to argue the case for providing this service to our customers free. With this in mind I may be able to get something out of it, even if it is only a hosted machine :-).
