About The Pokémon Moon RPG
This RPG -- known as The Pokémon Moon RPG (TPMRPG) was started by Cless (not the Cless from Pokédox) and his partner, known as Xyphon on June 2nd, 2007. The Pokémon Moon RPG started as a version referred to as "Alpha 0.1" (created when I was twelve years of age), however it was not too good. It was my first attempt at programming an online RPG (though I knew PHP since the age of nine or so), and it was somewhat plain and horribly coded. The layout was disgusting, everything was messy, and it was not too unique. Anyway, roughly two months after, we had upgraded to "Alpha 0.2", which had contained more unique features, neater coding, a better layout, and the sort. However, it was not too amazing either -- some of you may remember Alpha 0.2.
A month or so later, within September, we knew that Alpha 0.2 was pretty bad, and therefore, the majority of it was re-coded... this was referred to as "Version 0.3" (we changed the term "Alpha" to "Version"), and it was somewhat amazing; it had several unique features, cleaner coding and content, etc. Eventually, the new generation of Version 0.3 came; Version 0.4. It was generally a version alteration with additional features and layout changes, and it stayed that way from Version 0.3 to Version 0.6.
Anyway, Version 0.6 was amazing... however, it started to obtain numerous downtimes as we had reached 10,000 users, due to the the fact that when I programmed that SQL query overusage (SQL is what stores all user data, Pokémon data, etc.) would cause lag or overload the server. This in turn made the server continuously die -- we had to keep upgrading servers, and eventually, the cost was too overwhelming to continue... the only thing that kept the site up were advertisements and donators; my family is poor, and thusfore I could only pay for part of the server.
This was our first site redo... afterwards, "Version 0.7 X" was developed. At first, the lag was still half there (though it was lighter on the server), and everything was improved nearly tenfold. It lasted until Version 0.9.5 X, and everything was amazing (it also contained 25,000 users)... by Version 0.9.5 X, I found the source of the continued lag, and lag was nearly terminated.
With everything that had occurred, my scripting abilities had improved overwhelmingly, and I had messed around with the mathematical formulas, though they had screwed over... so that also taught me something. Anyway, I decided to redo the entire site -- this was the second redo.
That leads us to the current version (started July 24, 2008)... where certain javascript components were added, scripts were advanced, the CSS stylesheet was improved, new things were added, and much more.
Anyway, Xyphon and I developed this RPG as we wished to give users a unique online Pokémon RPG experience -- one that combined fantasy RPGs and Pokémon RPGs. This in turn expanded possibilities enormously; mining, fishing, berry picking, Story Mode, minigames, etc.
This is all generally a summary of some of the events that had occurred over the past year or two, however countless more things have occurred, though explaining all of them would take too much time and would be somewhat pointless.
