Wow Smokified, thats how I lost my sphere server too. The datacenter burned down from an electrical storm. Although it seemed that one of the co-admins had burned a copy of it to a CD, however nobody had the accounts file, so we could never get it back up and running. By that time we found RunUO and the rest is history
As for Nix and Westy, I support them 100%. I hope they fight for what is truly theirs and get all they can for it. Also I wonder if Irth has the same bank bug as Sphere does.... where you rename your horse as bank, put him near a banker, and then nobody can access their bank anymore
Haha go figure, stupid coders.
