Invite fixed

@sandsaroundtyr thank you so much!

Ping me in reddit (check dark sun sub, thread about my DSO server project) or discord (crt0 at dark sun discrod)

Of course, no. DSO require server part to work. That only means, that DSO, from beginning, was technically win16 application. And its requirement for W95 was mostly marketing and TEN frontend limitation.

@@sandsaroundtyr thanks for the clarification I've heard that it still mostly needs an initial state setup from the server but then most things are peer-to-peer, is that actually what you found with the emulator you're developing?

@@RedstoNeman0 You absolutely right, DSO client needs global initialisation from server at initial connection stage. That what is already done by server emulator. About DSO's "peer-to-peer" part. This is completely incorrect, if we use this term in its modern meaning. Because DSO network model (on basic, transport level) is fully centralized, and relates on DSO server. But yes, DSO server have methods to delegate world processing (per region, for example) to any client host. But even in this case, everything remains strictly centralized, all communications go through the server. There are no direct connections between clients. All dispatch functions done by server alone. If we use less strict terminology, we may call this model as "proto" hybrid peer-to-peer. But it still technically centralized model with classic clients-server roles.

Thank you! I continue working on project. Hope that someday all DSO and DS fans will have chance to return to Tyr for nostalgy and new expereince and adventures! I already started working on sub project to rewrite original DSO client as open source crossplatform project.

Hey there! I was part of the Sacred Silver Blades and the Temple of the Four Winds. :) Do you recall your character, friendo?

Ahh, never thought I’d run into someone from SSB on a TH-cam comment section, but here we are! Small world! In DSO I was a half giant gladiator named Clobber (very imaginative, I know :p). When we moved to Everquest I went by Kabalyero, and in WoW most folks knew me as Gath (not to be confused with Goth). My forum name was always Somulo though.

@@Bsomulo I *think* I remember the name. I had a mul named Xander which was my most popular. I had a lot of friends in KOI and remember they had their guildhall on a silt ship instead of in the guildhall building in Tyr. I moved onto EQ and still do Project 1999 there often. I was telling somebody the other day about the viciousness of PVP. During my time Nocturnal was the deadliest PVPer in the game. I explained the arena had two areas... A sparring one and a true permadeath one that deleted your character. No game I think since has had the guts to have permadeath like that. :) I remember some fun chats with the admins Alex and Vorplex as well.

Exactly! Also, looking for anyone who want to help with project to revive DSO. Anything may help, from older DSO client builds and various tech docs/info to partiticipating in debugging/coding/analyzing/documenting data.

And again, thank you! I would be very glad to have you participate in DSO ressurection, this project really need more manpower.

Sure! Currently it is too early for even an alpha test, but process is going. Thank you in advance!
