The Metaverse has been back up now for a couple of months and has been
remarkably stable. It's been crash-free all fall, and recently went almost
two months without interruption. (We had to shut it down briefly at that
point to see if it there had been any memory leaks. If we hadn't, from what
we can see, it would be past two months and running fine.)
Now all we need is to get all our programmers back. There are a lot of
characters out there who haven't been used in months and lots of junk
cluttering up the db. We want to rejuvenate the MOO and get people back
on. In order to help clean up older accounts within Metaverse, we plan
to start dropping inactive accounts on Jan 1. If you have an account
on Metaverse and have not been back in a long time...now is the time to
return! Also, old, unread mail will be deleted at some point in the
near future. No need to worry, we will give plenty of warning before
toasting your old mail... you can use our new @email command to forward
any old MOOmail to your email box, and save it there.
Jay is working on an off-MOO text object (Yeah, yeah, that's been in
progress for years, it seems, but we really mean it, this time...) and
we've got a new wizard, Kira, who's been busy. Cruella is another
wizard who has been around and has been busy as well. There are a lot
of new features. Events will be planned. Check out the MOO and
io.metaverse for info on what's going on.
Hope to see you soon!
