WARDOGS servers are on the way
WARDOGS community servers come only from BULKHEAD's Approved Hosting Partners, which also get the server files: there is no public download. WARDOGS opens on Wilderack once BULKHEAD and Team17 make us an Approved Hosting Partner.
Plans will start at 8 GB, with 12 GB recommended for most groups.
