This is just to note that downloads of the now infamous Warthog Jump movie from Rampancy.net have just passed 17,000. And not to worry, we won't be pulling this mirror for any reason as long as there is demand.

This is just a short note to apologize for the rather prolonged period of inactivity here at Rampancy.net. With Acrappa away handling family matters, and myself on a three-week vacation and now just starting at a new job, time and manpower to pull the reins of the of the site back into control just hasn't materialized just yet.

cybio signed up on Rampancy.net on December 6th, becoming the 200th registered user since the new site opened in mid-October. Since then, Rampancy has been visited 38,210 times and served 55,849 pages.

We at Rampancy.net welcome cybio and look forward to our next two hundred users.

We have decided to mirror the two official PRASP maps and Leadfeather's new one here on the Rampancy server.

• Pepper Heights
• Tides Of Rhianon
• A Place To Stand

For the record, these are all .tag files compressed with .zip, so Mac users should be able to download the files and use them when Myth III is finally released.

RampancyHL has returned!

We've put up a backup for the Rampancy Hotline server at hotline://rampancy.net. We don't have any of the old files there yet, nor the accounts, but the server is running.

With the Xbox's launch and Halo's release now upon us, we know there'll be some sharp divisions on the site, especially between those who will be playing Halo on an Xbox these coming weeks, those who won't be able to get their hands on one for awhile, and those who are waiting for the PC and Macintosh versions.

So as not to seem to be at all biased, we've added a Myth III Reviews page as well.

We've added a Halo Reviews page to the site, including all the known reviews of Halo since press started getting complete or nearly complete copies of the game.

Zinfandel and rolf have been kind enough to submit reports to the Myth III User Reports area (especially rolf).

Rampancy has opened a new area in our Information section for user-submitted reports on Myth III.

Well, not so much as a return as a change of address. Our regular domain name, rampancy.net, now points at the new server. Everyone appreciates our readers' patience during this rather impromptu beta test; but at the very least it made sure we got the site rebuild done before the Xbox launched, which otherwise might not have happened.
