Announcing Lyros Shard, the new MOSS shard run by Lyrositor!
Lyros Shard is the second known shard to combine MOSS (server) and H'uru's fork of CWE (client) to deliver gaming access to open-source Uru, but also the first invitation-based shard! Indeed, due to various constraints, Lyros Shard is not available for a massive use, and so signup is limited for now to Lyrositor's closest friends and a few other willing community members. That being said, if you do manage to get an account onto it, feel free to use the Internal client to navigate the world of Uru, as long as you don't intentionally try to break things or corrupt the game.
What to know before you sign up: Lyros Shard is hosted by Lyrositor on his own server, in his own house. As such, it may not benefit from the best uptime (in comparison with MO:ULa, TOC, Minkata or Gehn for example).
Nothing special has been added to this shard ; it simply is a recent build of MOSS with a recent build of H'uru's CWE client distributed for access. For now, at least.
Judging from rather basic testing, everything should work, except for:- Bugs in the server or client software (this includes physics bugs for example),
- Sparklies, which have not been activated... yet; stay tuned.
Other things might be buggy, but haven't been noticed yet. Personally, I have experienced two more-or-less big bugs so far (aside from weird physics occasionally):- Relto link-in bug, in which the camera zooms through Relto to fall beneath it (a known bug, I believe),
- Stair climbing bugs (another known issue, if I'm correct).
Where to sign up: currently, Lyros Shard is invitation-based. If you already have an invite code, you can navigate to Lyros Shard's homepage to create an account with your code. Make sure you use an e-mail address when signing up!
Where to download the client(s): download links for both the External (read: standard) and Internal (read: fun) client are available on Lyros Shard's homepage. Installation is fully automated, although you should read the warnings and notices on the homepage before proceding.
How to get invitation codes: codes are limited in availability for now to friends and people I trust. There are currently 5 codes available for signup, so if you feel like testing on Lyros, sign up quickly! If you would like to request an invite code, PM Lyrositor either on the MO:ULa forum, the OpenUru.org forum or the Guild of Writers forum.
Problems? PM Lyrositor, on any of the afore-mentioned forums.
For Chogon:
Code: [b][url=http://uru.lyros.net/shard/]Lyros Shard[/url][/b] is an invitation-based shard run by Lyrositor with no special additions planned for now but with the purpose of helping community members, including Lyrositor himself, document MOSS and CWE through direct use of the software used. It also allows the use of Internal clients to connect.
