TempestRO goes live tonight!

This is for all the Ragnarok Online players I know out there, tonight at roughly 23:30 GMT+2 TempestRO will go live! The server will be run by Trojal (from EdenRO/UnityRO) and Seyarah. Over the last week they have been sorting out the server and making it ready for the opening week and it going to be a great one. The rates are 10/10/7 so they are low, but not too low. Be sure to check them out if you're interested.
 
The reason why Im blogging about it, is I will be using the ragnarok online server's method of scripting NPCs as an example while building up the NPC system for my 2D RPG tutorial series. Unfortunately, I did not keep decent backups of my blog posts and didnt back up the database before the server move so I will have to start from scratch, which is perhaps better now that Ive changed some of the ultimate goals over the course of the last 2 weeks.
 
If you want to look ahead and look at some samples of what I will base the NPC system on, you should look at eAthena (the SVN in particular at files in the /trunk/NPC? folder) which is the open source server project for Ragnarok Online.
 
Hopefully I can have a tutorial or two up here tonight, so hopefully there can be something worth looking at this blog for again. ;)
