RPGStars

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you knew what happened to rpgstars.com. It won't come up anymore, it goes to some GoDaddy page.

The domain has expired... and, unless Chile renews it, it will stay that way.

 

[Warmachine]

Okay, I was thinking that was the case. Thanks.

Might be the death toll of that site.

I think so. Chile seems to have moved on in life. I don't blame him though. I hope the best for him.

does no one find it odd that its been a year since hes posted. I heard nothing of the site closing, no good byes nothing. Last thing was working on a testsite for gw and working the quirks. If you ask me that seems odd he would let his 'baby' rpg stars die at least not without telling someone.

If hes moved on in life thats great but personally, I would like to know if thats the case.

I contacted GoDaddy in order to figure out a way to recover a potentially lost domain because the owner is unreachable. There is however little hope that a friendly takeover can be done without the initial owner's agreement.

The domain will most likely end up being for sale and the first buyer wins.

It was through Rpgstars and Chile's efforts along with the rest of the staff that I was able to participate in Arena.net's Guildwars alpha testing during it's development and to meet Mike O'Brien and Patrick Wyatt and Jeff Strain. Developers who I had followed from my fandome of Blizzard and StarCraft and Warcraft.

Being able to meet them really gave me a sense of perspective on possibility and I believe it contributed to the determination I found to get into Computer Science and pursue a degree.

Though I don't spend much time playing Guildwars anymore I still think it's a great franchise and I will remember fondly the Rpgstars forums and Chile and his positive character.

I also want to extend my gratitude to the Rpgstars staff and their hard work to keep Rpgstars going. I hope no one was personally hurt or offended by this turn of events. Should Rpgstars never return.

I don't mean for this to be an add about Rpgstars but I figure since Chile was so close to this community at one point that he and some of the people who were in Rpgstars would stop here to read this.

If any of you wan't to meet up on StarCraft 2 sometime (when it comes out). I will try to be on as Adovid-- UsEast if there is one.
