I _will_ be hosting a new game soon. (most likely after xmas break). _BUT_ it will have some changes done to the server. For instance: There will be *NO* VN code. It will be using a different database structure. There will be *NO* Godships. Backups to the Database will be done before each UPDATE. Most likely there will be other changes to the code, but as of now, those are the only ones. The purpose of removing the VN and Godship code, is for sake of simplicity. Most games recently do not last to the point where Godships and VNs are used, so there is no point. Escpecially since I suspect the Godships and VN's corrupt the database. So... If you are interested in playing, send me mail saying so. DO NOT SEND ME RACEGENS. All I want now is a approximate number of people who would like to play. That way I can put you on a mailing list to keep you posted to the starting dates. I will also post updates to this group about the starting dates.
