CONTINUED FROM A PREVIOUS .PLAN

WiT Entertainment continues doing absolutely stellar work on Minions of Mirth! When we asked for filthy dwarves, Magnus Blikstad really came through :)

It's really FUN playing this latest edition to MoM's family!!!

In other news, Minions of Mirth now has Global Chat that connects all live worlds together. This is also hooked up to our dedicated IRC Server so it's possible to chat with people in the game via any IRC client!!!!

Prairie Games IRC Server:

minions.servegame.com 6667 channel #prairiegames

or use the web interface at:

Web Chat

Additionally, I hooked up a SSH shell (with syntax coloring) for interactively modifying running World Servers... It's pretty damn cool to enter something in the shell like: player.gold = 99 ... and see the client magically update!!

You can also see the current ladder results if you look closely :)

Between the web interface for trading items, and the IRC chat, this is really peaking my interest :]

Are /msg's delt with ok? What happens if someone logs into the game using the player name "joe" but someone is already in the irc chat room with the name "joe". Does MoM register the nick (or player name) and handle that seperately?

/me summons a dirty dwarf.
