Unsupported.
Newer version possibly in the works.

Quick Lowdown:

What is Netplay Plus?
Using the provided scripts you can play RMXP over the internet. Version 2.0 made this extremely stable. For small ORPGS and usage for it's network abilities it is perfect, however, although it is technically capable of them, MMORPGs still need a good server admin and script debugging to maintain a working game.

Is it easy to use?
Well, as far as is possible. If you don't know a good amount of RGSS you are utterly screwed. Simple as.

Who made it?

Core Socket Class: Goldenaura
Netplay Plus: Mr Mo, "Me"
Server: Trebor
Support, advice and designs: Myonosken, Aaron, Sucidemanic

What happened to the site?
Era few issues with it, including the actual data centre getting lightning surged with shitty protection. Thusly we have no data beyond May saved to the best of my knowledge (may be a backup I forgot). At the moment I don't have time to faff around, but I'm sure I'll get back to it at some point. :( Update: I have a much newer backup. Just over a week old. Huzzah! - Holloway

Can you add xx feature?
No. Well not at the minute. Most features are just asking for work to be done for them anyway, so no.

Operating system - Microsoft? Windows? XP +
Processor - PC with 1.5GHz Intel? Pentium? 4 equivalent or higher processor
RAM - At least 1 GB or higher
Video adapter - 1024?768 or better video resolution in True Colour mode

Support:
Q: The server is shit.
A: No it isn't. It may be unstable on your PC, but that is because the current server is optimised for dedicated machines. Don't go expecting it to run well on the same PC as one you are playing on and talking on MSN with- some people have been able to do this, but very few.

Q: Can you add xx?
A: Again, no.

Q: Can I continue development?
A: There is actually a team set up for Netplay Plus 2.5/3 but you are free to apply in this thread. Make sure to state your experience and proficiency. If you wish to develop addons/ server rewrites please refrain from distributing them outside of this thread, unless you gain permission.

Q: I donated on the site, and now you've closed?!
A: Awfully sorry. However, your bonuses will still come. Just via PMs until we are back on our feet.

Statement for mods:
If you get anyone asking for NP elsewhere on the site, the best bet is to point them in here. I may get the domain to point here at some point, but not anytime soon.
