I installed it earlier today without any major issues. I did notice a discernable slowdown of the entire site after the installation when performing RPG actions (creating test characters and performing test battles), but as I say, from a functionality perspective everything worked perfectly.

After about 20 minutes of commencing testing of the RPG hack (with only me and one other user online) my webhost suspended my hosting account. I contacted them and discovered that the CPU utilisation on my shared server had gone through the roof from the moment I installed the hack (they named the particular RPG queries and tables that were generating the problem). :ermm:

Luckily enough, I'd taken a full site backup prior to installing the hack so reverted to that and everything is now back to normal and my account is, thankfully, unsuspended.

I'd like to be able to perform further testing by cannot take the risk of reinstalling the hack and losing my host. I also noticed, when visting a demo version of the hack on a previous poster's site, that I experienced a very slow response and a number of timeouts when using the RPG menu.

I'll keep an eye on things and see how they progress as I'd really love to be able to integrate this into my site but cannot in it's present release.

Wow....
