Perhaps hire a less skilled developers/QA staff (therefor less paid) and hand over to them the dirty work without compromising vital code and be insured against any attempts for a infrastructure security breach?
I remember when i had a Tandy computer back in 1989 and this game seemed so impressively huge and deep.
Lol i didn't EVER beat it, and it still has a place in my heart. I know its not an RPG, but this is one of my favorite old time games, Amongst with Leisure Larry series.
I am Bulgarian living in Bulgaria right now. I am as happy as any of you about the ditching of ACTA by our government. But! They change their minds twice a day. The position of the other European governments against ACTA, I think, is based (to a certain extent at least) on principles and integrity. Our government is silly, uninformed, clueless and it may easily jump back on the ACTA bandwagon if put under pressure. They were clearly ready to force the ratification of ACTA on the Parliament. What changed their minds was the protest wave -- the government are populist and easily bend before protests. However, they bend easily before anything. So, let's wait and see...
the funniest thing is that the minister who took responsibility for signing the ACTA treaty early said on national television that he is under a lot of pressure to sign lots of paperwork everyday (around 100+ papers on a weekly basis) and he said quote "i'm sorry for not reading this document throughly, before accepting to sign it - my team of experts said it was nothing to qworry about it"
They are truly clueless and they admit it, lulz.
Some curiosity:In Bulgaria and also most other eastern European countries there used to be a funny practice amongst ISP's:Each internet provider used to have a NAS/LAN server, accessible only to subscribers/customers, loaded with warez, pr0n and movies, in a catalog type of way, year by year.
This was way back in 1999- 2005. So You basically see what your monthly fee is, now much Mbps you get up/down, and also what kind of "bonus" warez this particular ISP has to offer, lol! I almost canot believe this was the de facto standard for many years!
After some time the laws got changed and the ISPs were forced to quit this practice. But then torrents came in place.
So what i am thinking is - we have at least a dozen trackers that are registered/hosted in Switzerland, Netherlands and other locations, like offshore islands or that Transnistria in Russia, where our local Bulgarian/EU laws do not apply.
The servers/trackers themselves are configured to answer to requests only from Bulgarian peering IP addresses. So basically those servers remain unseen for the rest of the internet, including authorities, unless you use a Bulgarian proxy.
My humble guess is that this kind of "localized" trackers will never go away, also i know for a fact that in Russia they have the same private trackers, DC hubs, and other p2p based ways of sharing warez.
Just my 2 cents on this subject - i don't really care about the Filesharing hosts like MegaUpload, WUpload, Hotfile, RapidShare and so on, because they want money, because they have their pages bloated with ads and because of the crappy CAPTCHAs. Yeah.
Overclocking can be beneficial and safe, if you invest in good cooling and a reliable PSU.
Details:
My main rig has been sitting overclocked (prime95 & furmark stable) 24/7 from late 2009
CPU overclock - 30% (original speed 2800MHz, ran at 3500MHz, BUS overclock - from 266MHz to 400MHz), overall CPU temp rarely goes above 40C - 42C under load, even with this 'crazy' clocking, and a slight over voltage as well.
Here is a screenshot of EVEREST's Overclock tab
So my point is moderate OC wih proper cooling can be quite useful even for 24/7 systems, with proper cooling of course.
Also most new CPU and GPU processors use some kind of dynamic under and slight overclocking, especially true for mobile cpu, so it is not "st000pid" if you do it the right way.
It's just squeezing more performance out of the hardware you already have, without risking any short term or long term damages.

hahahah i wish i had some points to mod as +1 funny

I love SeaMonkey (ex Mozilla suite) and i would never ditch it for chrome or whatever other browser because of my beloved SeaMonkey :)
