CHAINMAIL is the continuation of the popular 'Seviss Isles' releases. This beta build has known issues, but is provided as a public release so that World Builders and DM's can preview some of its new features (some are still under development). This build is stable and may be used as a playable Persistent Virtual World (PVW). Please do not report any bugs or issues regarding this build. Because Karl has been *very* busy, he hasn't been able to upload the changes I sent him which fixed a few MySQL support issues that are broken in Beta 8a (as well as a couple of other minor things). If you are using the Bioware DB for your PW, there is no need to download this. Please do not leave comments here - continue to use the main CHAINMAIL page at http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Modules.Detail&id=3856 to do that. This release is being posted with his permission.
