As promised, the Legacy Worlds Beta 5 source code has been released. Depending on whether you are using IPv4 or IPv6, it can be accessed through its SVN repository at: https://lwb5.svn.deepclone.co.uk/ for IPv6 users, https://secure.nocternity.net/deepclone.co.uk/svn/lwb5/ for IPv4 users.

Beta 5 – Permanent shutdown
