Shards doesn't have what I like. I would like more accelerated xp and more expansions.

Thanks tho =)

jesus fucking christ...tried running one of my own servers for just the wife and I and this server/etc shit just aint for me. I followed their idiot guide to the letter and can't get the shit working.

I keep getting stuck on "Failed to connect to the database" "Error 1251" blah blah..it suggests upgrading the mysql, but shit, thats the version they said to use..

It's like trying to build a goddamn nuclear missile with a team of auto mechanics that speak different languages.

Oh well...any accelerated xp servers out there? lol

which one was it you have trouble with? Shards?

[Ouchyfish]

I was able to connect to shards with no problem. I ran into problems trying to set up my own. They make it sound so easy but man, it wasn't for me lol.

I have a whole new respect for people that deal with that SQL/server bullshit.

dealing with a database if you've never done it before is a pretty steep learning curve
