Leftley, I hate to be THAT GUY, but, I firmly believe you should someone recreate the game, or remake something very similar to this. In the matches I've played, we worked as a team, most times bolos would carry the most of the ore while smaller creatures would be on guard. I've heard you lost the sources, which is in fact very sad, but I'd be honored to play another game like this. ^.^
I wonder what the possibility would be of getting one of the BYOND admins to decompile all the games' files for someone to continue work on it, perhaps with Leftley's permission? I have the host files and would love to add to this and streamline.
