Since I updated the distribution method, which no longer gives ownership of mHUDs to the players (I continue to own them even though you use them), I've opened up the Vorago once again and am letting it run for free for a time. Find the terminal by the ramp, get an mHUD, find some weapons inside, and blast away. It's beta-ish, but as far as I can see, is working.
The Vorago does not work in any way unless you have an mHUD. It will completely ignore you. Also, like any PVP game, performance is key, so shut off everything you don't need (trees, object detail, whatever).
You can win money playing. Not a lot, but hey it's free to play. Read the rules you'll see.
It's in Varney. Look in CTL F (find), go to Places, select Games, look for The Vorago.
Missions are still offline (they are solo play). I'm updating the distro mechanism for them over the next coupla days.
Good luck. Pray I don't see you first with a grenade launcher (remember grenade launchers require you to hold down the mouse key to build up force...don't let them drop at your feet they do scatter damage and BOOM).

Good stuff! I know the Vorago has been in development for quite a while. I'll have to drop in and take a look.

Actually, it was up and running a long time ago. The unannounced changes to the scripting environment, problems with the asset servers, and a variety of other SL things beyond my control, just made it not really feasible to run. The game uses just about every facet of SL development from llSetText to teleporting to physics, so when something goes wrong with anything at all in SL it's bound to effect The Vorago.
I have been testing it lately again though, updated the distro model for the core game piece as I have heard on the vine that some players are attempting a variety of hacks in the game, and all * seems * well.
Then again you know how SL goes, works today broken tomorrow.

It's all working, but I added some debug code to a couple of the weapons so that I could see some data, and later couldn't change it back because the sim started going nuts (thinks were ghosting rampantly, avatars couldn't move, etc.) and I don't have the time to wait around for the reset.
You can still play, just ignore the bullet spam if you see it.
