I've tried listing everything I could think of that i've tweaked to this server to make the play experience a little more enjoyable. Server uptime is for as long as I leave the computer running. There may be instances where the server will need to be shut down for a short time, just so I can restart the pc. As far as random disconnects go, they should hopefully be very few if any at all. I keep the server current with what DSP has so I'll do routine updates to the server at least once a week. At that time, a server message will be displayed after logging in letting everyone know an update is to be expected and the server will be offline for a short time. I've also created a discord server: https://discord.gg/rQjzkpA for anyone to that wants to join there.
I'll edit this post as needed if more tweaking needs to be done to the settings of the server. Look forward to seeing everyone ingame and have a great day!

Just wanted to give everyone an update on the progress of the server and a little insight as to why the server recently got a major overhaul. I downloaded LegionDark's source code, just like I'm sure a lot of people did. It wasn't my original intention to incorporate that code into Vana Skies. I was just going to use the code to setup a personal/solo private server. Well, a couple of players seemed interested in having the code implemented. So i setup a poll to see what the players thought and it was a majority decision to go ahead and pull the code in Vana Skies. I held off from updating the info here for a few days to see if I could even get the server setup. Thankfully, Teo helped out whenever I had a question and much props goes to him for everything he contributed.

One more thing, the original list of tweaks in the post above, A lot of them still work the same as before.
A couple of things that needed to be edited was Rudra's Storm since LD has it setup so you don't have to quest or have a certain weapon equipped. You just need the correct amount of combat skill
The code for the Royal Jelly bcnm was removed as it was causing.

STATUS UPDATE 2: Forgot to mention from the previous update. If you had a character from LegionDark and would like to continue using that character, I'm able to do imports of that data into Vana Skies. You'll basically start right where you left off the night before LegionDark shutdown. I have a channel set up on the Vana Skies discord server specifically for this with guidelines pinned to make the import process run smoothly.

STATUS UPDATE #3: Pull the latest from DSP's master branch this morning into Vana Skies server. Everyone enjoy and thanks Teo!

Server is officially closed. Thanks for playing.

That escalated quickly O.o

Good evening everyone,
After many months I have decided to re-release my server, Vana Skies! To anyone wanting to connect and play, the server address is still the same, --server vanaskies.ml
The discord server is still actively used for the most up-to-date information, https://discord.gg/7YaRaQb which includes all of the major adjustments to the game server.
Thanks and have a good night,
Juggalo
