the client is functioning at the moment but being that the server was made in vb it was quite buggy so Seipheroth my Java Expert has been working hours and hours to recode the server in Java :D so now the client is Extremly fast and the server can be hosted on a linux machine for less downtime =D also being coded in java means its more stable and runs faster than a visusual basic server would which means less gameplay lag :D and faster packets from the server,
i have been studying a new map architectual technieqe of saving maps in binary form to make them smaller rathern than ascnii so that in a few days i can begin development on an optimized map engine which can handle a map size of 100,000 x 100,000 and send it to a player at the same speed as a 10x10 map =D
