How does one apply to become a server, and what does it entail? I have a cable connect, 128 ram, one gig processor, etc. I don't presume to have the skill with somerset to build, or the flair of imagination for a DM, but I was wondering what happens to your comp if you are a server. Can I still plays in areas outside of the server? How long will the server be up? anyways, thanks in advance.

you apply to be a dm, one of the requirements is to provide a server with 99% uptime 24/7.
You cant provide a server and be a player, due to the danger of hacking up your character.
