Wow.... Free trials. Hope There'd still be some free trials available when I start VPS hunting. ^__^

Perhaps I can translate the screenshots since I'm an outsider to this convo. Though roughly, summarizing it.... It's basically the scammer trolling the victim for giving him 10K Phillipine Pesos, which is locally considered a lot. (roughly 200 to 250 USD depending on the exchange rate. The average poor man's monthly wage could be somewhere around 6K PhP.) If you'd need a phrase by phrase translation, I could provide that too. The severity of the situation is that.... If he has got the money already, he could've just disappeared silently. No need to add insult to injury. Could you share more details on how he operated? I think he'd be the type who'd change names after every successful con. (Icluding new e-mails and FB accounts, etc.)

Yeah... I used to use those too. ~_~ But I remember I had a dynamic IP back then. Changes every time I reconnect. (I was even asking GMs to try and IP ban me just so I could find out if I can still connect to that RO server. lol.) Anyway, I remember Hamachi gave us some static (non-changing) IP addresses... Or I could be wrong. It's been a long while since I last used it. And I'm sure people with similar concerns would appreciate the guide.

I remember we did something similar before but we used https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/

Ahahaha, I remember on pRO the 50p Prepaid card -8 Hours of Awesomeness Lol. I remember I had some of these cards as some sorta good luck charm in my wallet until that wallet was stolen. >.< Anyway, I still remember back then whenever I lacked bus fare money, I could sell 1 Unripe apple to a random classmate/schoolmate and it would be enough to get me home. But the most unforgettable RO experience definitely was the uber extreme lag back then. (Around 2000 or 2001) Would take me around 30 mins just to get from one end of Prontera to the other. It was enough lag to make me quit. ~_~ I was practically paying for 8 hours of lag... and the P50 just wasn't worth it anymore. ~__~

Something like a sampler? Now that would be interesting. Anyway, years ago, there was this thing... Something like Fusion... Forgot the exact name. Though the size, I remember the installer I had was a 2-disc one. (CD, not DVD) Maybe around 1GB total or up to 1.2GB. But it was an easy to install Off-line RO. Problem was that it was very unstable. (Or maybe my PC's specs were just too poor to run it properly. XD)

At first look, it smells kinda shady. I just didn't click any further than the main page since stuff like these could possibly have some stuff hidden everywhere. Anyway, if the intention was to find a real online source of income, I could suggest a few things. But we better discuss it thru PM as it may be against the rules of RA.

I'm wondering. Would the learning curve for Git be easier compared to SVN? (Assuming the one to learn was a newbie like me. ^__^)
