I was lying here thinking about the Thief class, and by proxy the Missy and Gypsy as well, and wondered whether edits to amp up their combat level and backstab bonuses might still leave the feel of a stock realm relatively intact? The leather armor and 1-h weapon limitation is going to always restra...

Looks like you can get the first year of t2.micro for free which is a sweet way to test this out! From there, easy enough to "upgrade" if needed I would assume.

Thanks, guys... it seemed more a matter of convenenience, but I suppose tossing up a little box in the corner with today's high-speed pipes is more than sufficient. Really appreciate the responses and the setup thread especially!

Years ago when I last played, there was a method for adding/referencing a specific character .ini file in the MegaMUD shortcut that would essential load the program with the character open. I found this post while searching for it (and I ended up installing the path updates so thank you!) and though...
