Well the only thing we really have to worry about where I live is tornados. And a tornado rarely ever happens here. Living in the foothills of the Apalachians protects keeps the tornadoes short. A month or so ago, there was an earthquake here in Atlanta. The epicenter was in northeast Alabama, and it was the biggest earthquake ever recorded in Georgia since that Mississippi earthquake in the early 1800s. (That earthquake made the Mississippi flow in a different direction for a while) The sad/good thing is, I slept through that earthquake. I thought I wasn't a heavy sleeper!

Never experience any earthquakes here. We've seen tornadoes, but they never touched the ground.

I live in the highest point between the Apalachians and the Rockys, so of corse obviously I live at Cambil Hill Ohio, in the city with Americas first concrete street, and the worlds shortest street, its a no brainer than that I live in Bellefontaine lol

now because that I live on a hill, tornados stay down to the vallys, there have been tornados near, but none have ever come in Bellefontaine, (near as in 13 miles away, where the vally begins) and earthquakes, nahhh, although the biggest earthquake in ohio history hit near here in like 1912, but we do get lots of thunderstorms lol

Did some of you try to write a small server?  Try sometime... It's kinda fun.  If this is for OP3, then the packet format will be easy to get, but if its to bring back Multiplayer OP2, well, you could ask Sierra.  (probably won't work, but it's worth a shot.)  If you write your own server, there would be no cost. (except electricity, and ISP charges...)

Hey, did we get new smilies?  Some of them look new.  Hmm, now I know how easy it is to get off topic... LOL

I think that the easiest way to write one would be a self-standing server, written in VB using a WinSock control.  But who would be willing to be running a self-standing?  Everyone I know here would want to be playing...  What a dilemma.  *dillemma, *Dilema... Oh well, I can't spell that. LOL.
