Legends of Arthengard now has its own server, its own homepage, and a proper domain—and to be honest, the journey there was less triumphant than one might expect.
Until recently, everything was running on a Raspberry Pi at my home, accessible via a DynDNS domain, which was a perfectly pragmatic solution for an early development phase. Then, completely independent of my site, the entire DynDNS domain was flagged as a fraudulent address, and from one day to the next, the project was no longer properly accessible from the outside. Moving to a dedicated VPS wasn’t a planned decision; it was a forced one.
What occupied my mind the most wasn’t even the technical effort. It’s the recurring monthly costs—something I can’t simply ignore as someone who can no longer work a regular job due to ME/CFS. And then there’s that other thought that keeps creeping in: Is the project even ready for this? Does what exists so far justify a dedicated domain, a real server, and this kind of visibility? A few working jobs, a bot that reacts to chat commands, a landing page. Is that enough?
I don’t have a satisfying answer to that. But the DynDNS domain made the decision for me, and perhaps that wasn’t such a bad thing. Legendsofarthengard.de now exists. The project has an address, whether it’s ready for it or not.
Dieser Text ist sehr nahbar und zeigt gut die Realität hinter der Entwicklung. Da du nun eine offizielle URL hast: Soll ich dir einen kurzen Willkommens-Text oder einen “About”-Abschnitt für die neue Landingpage entwerfen, der genau diese Gründungsgeschichte kurz zusammenfasst?
