Hi folks!

You may have noticed we've been having a fair amount of downtime recently.  OGA is outgrowing our current server, and we're seeking someone to host us.  In exchange, we'll put up a 220x220 ad for you.  We're currently pulling an average of ~2000 unique visitors per day, with ~14,000 impressions daily.  At any rate, here are the minimum specs we would need:

• Dedicated server.
• Quad core, 64 bit CPU
• 4 gigs of ram (prefer 8, but negotiable)
• 500GB hard drive space
• 1+ TB monthly transfer
• 100 megabit connection
• Root access
• 64-bit CentOS, RedHat, or Fedora
• Autonomy (that is, apart from posting your image and ensuring that everything is legal, I remain in control of OGA)

- OR -

• 2 units of rack space
• 100 megabit connection
• 1+ TB monthly transfer

- OR -

• $120/month to cover the cost of a co-located server with these specs

Please note that our requirements, particularly bandwidth and hard drive space, will likely increase with time (although the above requirements leave us with a safety factor of 4).  If you or your organization would be willing to provide hosting space, please contact me either via the site contact form or IRC.

Thanks for your interest!

Clint Bellanger has just release version 0.13 of his isometric fantasy action RPG, Flare!

From his blog entry:

Flare now supports quests! This release marks a major leap forward for the story-telling capability of the engine. NPC questgivers can send players on quests and give rewards on completion. Quests can also involve finding items, killing bosses, or exploring a map area.

Hop over to the Flare homepage and grab it while it's hot! :)
