Is there a reason that presents haven't been spawning for a little while?

It's been over two years since I noticed "Hey, I only have one requirement left for Lunar Diplomacy". Just finished the quest last night.

Lunar magic is cool, except that it's useless unless you have at least level 96 magic :c

I doubt it. Maybe to Windows 7 and/or 8 users, maybe. But I honestly doubt they'd put it up for free.

At this point it's in largely in Microsoft's interest to have everyone updated to the latest OS. This is why it is very likely that Windows 10 will be free. If not completely free, at least free as an upgrade from anything that came after XP. The reason for this is that Microsoft is changing how their company makes money; from selling their flagship products (Office, Windows), to selling services through their main products. They are doing this so they can compete better with Android and Google in general, which so far has been kicking their ass in phone and tablet sales because it doesn't cost the manufacturers anything to load Android onto their devices.

Alright, another question is where is the VPS located? I'd like for it to be somewhere on the United State's East Coast.

I'll probably be buying one around Jan. 8th when my VPS expires.

The purchase page allows you to choose the deployment location of your node.

What about people who use hosting services like CBM or w/e?
They cant inject their servers because they just cant. They dont have that kind of access.
The hosting services should auto-inject the antidote.dll into all instances of BL they run.

Good thing BlockNet deploys every server pre-patched! That's why Gytyyhgfffff's server was protected.

On the highest one, Which I would get if I bought this service; you're saying i'm paying $15 month for one server on it's own node and a second seever costs $8? That's $23, I might as well continue hosting my own $30 VPS that can run 3 servers if that in the case. Correct me if I am misunderstanding this.

You would be correct there. The dedicated node literally is your own VPS node to work with. That's why it costs about the same. You do, however, get the benefits of the VPS being managed for you. If you're using a Windows VPS, you'll see a massive performance increase on an equivalent BlockNet node.

I'm sure you saw one in demonstration, shooting down an aircraft/UAV. If you try to tell me that we have lasers that can shoot down warheads from a balistic missile I am going to shoot you in the foot.

We have actually had them for a long time.

What we don't have in full production yet is electrical lasers that can do the same thing. Firing chemical lasers like the MIRACL costs tens of thousands of dollars per use.

So, if so. I would have lost nothing, but would have destroyed "BlockNet"?

How would losing $100 'destroy' blocknet? Honestly, you're nitpicking at the most unlikely situation here.

Is the name "BlockNet" trademarked? If not, what if I were to buy the name and sue you for using a profitable service under my name.

Buying the trademark would cost you about as much as you'd be awarded in damages if any small claims court actually decided to rule in your favor.

It means it's located in California and that if you wanna take any legal action it has to be in California. At least that's what I think it means.

Anyway i'm very interested in this and might be making a purchase soon. Is there a cap on how many users you can take on right now? Also is there an artificial limit on the player slots you can have?

Capacity isn't a problem, I can deploy new nodes pretty quickly if demand becomes high. Currently there is one US budget node, and two high performance nodes with one in the US and the other in Europe. Dedicated nodes are deployed manually when someone orders one.

Can you help clear up the pricing here.

It looks like you're charging for additional servers each month.  The extra $5 for setup seems to be entered correctly, but $15+8+1 = 24, and I am not paying for a server that I will not get.

Pricing should be $21 for startup and $16 for regular monthly payments.

It looks like you entered that you wanted '1' additional server (beyond the first). Just leave the additional servers field blank if you are only hosting one server.

Edit: Actually I see what you mean now. I overlooked that and it should be fixed now, just enter the same stuff as before.
