Okay sorry its taking so long. I have about 10 days left of this contract. So afterwards i'll be editing like a mad beast. I have about 35% of the editing done. I'm changing afew things like adding in Scripting area's thats only teleportable by lv's etc.. and the area's are low exp so when the reset (cough) happens, we dont level to 100 in aweek. Me pesonally i would like to see 2-5x exp rates if there's a reset(cough). But i was just wanting to let ya'll know what was the deal with me being slow on the updates.

I say stay with 3x, anything above is too much.

Two quick questions about the board, as it looks very promsing...



1. Is "surprise rounding" enabled and allowed? I know some sysops have edited it out, and most frown upon it regardless.



2. Is there going to be a reset anytime soon? If it's going to be months away then it's no concern but to play for 2-3 weeks and then get wiped would be pretty stupid.



Ok that's it, hope everything works out well and to bring some fun to this bbs... Damage Inc. style.

Surprise rounding is enabled and remains untouched on my board.



There is a reset tentatively at the end of the summer. I say tentative because it is dependent upon the editing we get finished in the next few months, and if we are able to make the game playable past level 200, which it is playable to currently. If editing can be done and be made playable to 300 we will hold off on the reset for another 5-6 months.



Hope to see you there.

Give me about 2 more weeks i'll have the updates Matt, asfar as 300 ummm give me about 2 months on that i'll add in about 50 new area's etc.. uptoo 300 or so, unless you can't really lv to that lv. as far as the reset i would really like to see it reset by Aug. or Sept. and the exp to 3x so i can keep up with lvs with updates etc.. you know.. i'll have afew weeks here after the 4th to finish setting up the updates. i've gotten all the WEapons, half the Armour , none of the mobs or area's in yet

Thanks Wade. Remember we have our own forums... I rarely keep up to date with this thread anymore.

I was able to track down Scott, the old host for Boink. He still has the files, and we are working out some things to get it back online.

We are going to be doing a full reset, so the realm will be fresh.

Please keep up to date on when and where Boink will be coming back online at our forums... we will post updates there as well:

http://s11.invisionfree.com/The_Boink_Machine/index.php?

Once we get it up and running, we will give a 48 hour notice before we put the realm online. This will hopefully give enough time for word to get out.

Hope to see you there, please, post any questions or comments on here, or on Boink's forums!

This is the post that is on Boink's forums, a current update on our progress:

Well. Scott is tracking down the files.

Once he finds them, he is still pondering whether or not he will continue to host the board himself, or if he would like to find a new host.

Either way, if there are any users out there who have a decent connection with some open bandwidth, and would be willing to consider hosting the board if things don't work out on Scott's end, please post on the forums here and let us know.

I'm not sure exactly where the realm was at when it went offline, but I will be spending a couple of days perusing the dats once they are pulled up and just seeing where we left off, and talking with some of the staff and figuring out what direction we can take with it again.

Currently we have a few of our old staff already on board, MistWeaver, Jonah, Akeel, and Draconis have already agreed to help us get the board off the ground again and staff on the board. We are missing Grey, Guinee, and Valcon, if anyone knows how to contact them, please let either me or Scott know.

We are eagerly awaiting answers to alot of our questions. One of our main ones right now is if the user base is still interested in starting anew on Boink again. We would appreciate any and all feedback we can get!
