After talking about it back and forth for a while, I think I have to agree with Unixmad - if the players can't be arsed to chip in, we don't need the freeloaders, no matter how much they contribute to the community. Hopefully we'll have it set up in such a way that everyone can upgrade easily in time - I don't reckon he'd do the freeloader wipe before the phone thing gets set up, but if it comes down to that or shutting down...=_=
The phone thing - apparently there's a company that'll set up the 800 number and the voicemail and everything, all the automation, for a monthly fee. Since they track the calling numbers, they can hold people responsible for their own phone bills.Finally getting to the levels - as I understand it, all I have to do is set up some special warps or NPCs on the blank houses, and instead of it sending you to a static level on the main server, it sends you to a "pw" house, some player's personal storage area. Hopefully it'll be automated too, so I don't have to change it every time someone leaves the server and deletes their house and all...there is a finite amount of space on Classic, after all. For those houses there will apparently be another automated system by which you can bring your classic stats in, but can't bring anything out...sorta like if you remember the Mantara bug where you could bring the trees out...like that, but intentional this time. ^_^
Not sure if there would be server-select PWs, but I imagine there could be player-house PWs...
