responding to eras2 :
1. i might be a n00b ... but your the all time n00b champion ^_^
2. it`s still a server even if the game it`s played in a browser
-> check what
Google has to say about servers
-> there a site just for you at
Just Fucking Google It
-> i hope this is not considered spaming

3. i`m allready working in a game development team and we`ll soon release our first beta ^_^
4. it`s all php coding in travian ... i know some php coding and maybe i`ll develop my own script but i hate working with variables and that`s why i choose 3Ds Max ( if you even know what that is, even if the name sais what it`s all about )
5. distroy your computer and go back to your cave

aperbag3
6. don`t make this personal. this forum is about making friends and for helping others ( at list i think so ) not attacking other people for asking a simple question
7. again a n00b must say : sorry for my bad english ( i`m talking about me now

)
now responding to tony2k:
all you need is an http server with php support (i prefer apache 2 triad), a database(MySQL is great if u want to run a dedicated server and most of the domain hoster offer free MySQL databases), a php editor ( i use notepad++

), php coding knowledge (there are a lot of free php tutorials on this great thing called internet) and of course a lost of patience and time
remember kids... google is best your friend... he helped me find RageZone
