Server Up! - Posted on 15 Nov 2008 by Barrage |
Yup, server is back up.
Look forward to an update soon. :P
Our internet was down at my appartment, don't know when it will be up. So, moved the server to my parents house. I may be coming to live here soon anyway.
Either way, the connection is a lot more stable here as I'm the only one that uses it. Same speed..8mbit.
Talk to you all soon. |

House "bug" - Posted on 25 Sep 2008 by Barrage |
Is now definately fixed.
Turns out our packet logging system, which we use to keep track of people in houses so we can hunt down hackers, was simply too backed up. :P It was trying to load a txt file over a hundred MB big every time someone did something in a house lol.
It would have taken me a long time to notice this was a problem if not for Tulkas, who was able to explain the bug in great detail, along with when it happened, and a timespan of how it got worse.
This is why we encourage people to be vigilant and very detailed. Its the small details that often help us truly find these bugs.
THIS FIX SHOULD ALSO MEAN: A decrease in lag, as everytime someone used a house, it would have lagged the game. Should also mean a decrease in lag in Lucca, as the keeps use the some style of map, and would also have been effected.
The update is now back on schedule. Remember, update 1.6 will be cutting out a lot of the every day lag we experience, as we are adding some better loading systems.
See ya in game. ;) |

House Bug - Posted on 22 Sep 2008 by Barrage |
I believe the house bug has been fixed.
Tested it with a few houses/shops and they load properly now.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I started a new job and they had me work a couple 12 hour shifts. :P |

Server Upgrade - Posted on 29 Aug 2008 by Barrage |
At great expense, I was able to repair my super computer.
Within 15 minutes we will be running the server on said computer.
This computer boasts dual core 3.4ghz processor, 2gb of RAM, 400gb harddrive, and much, much more. It even has a TV remote and can receive cable TV hookups. :P
This should eliminate the software lag we've been experiencing.
What does this mean to you?
Not only will we be the most advanced classic FSO in existence, but we will also have the best server machine (on a 8mbit line, no less!) in the field.
Look forward to a whole new level of gaming experience.
Also, we are in the process of staff reconstruction. The new, and current, staff, will be going through a rigorous training session to ensure they can handle your questions and problems WITHOUT having to consult me.
This means in addition to the most advanced FSO, with the best server, we will have the best player support team in the genre. I look forward to seeing you all in a few! |

Guild Town... - Posted on 02 Aug 2008 by Barrage |
at 5:39am this morning I completed the Honor/Silver and MERCENARY system for the guild town.
What does this mean to you?
1.4 is done.
And when you take control of the guild town, not only will the flags on the castle change to your guilds flag, but you and your guild mates will be able to spend your hard earned SILVER (gotten from killing in the guild town area) on guild MERCENARIES (Brawler/Magus/Battlemage/Spellsword) to help you defend it from enemy guilds. Of course, which level of mercenary you can hire also depends on your HONOR, which you get from killing SKILLED opponents. Mercenaries wont follow just any noob. :P
You can only yield so much honor, in this way, the noobs in your guild won't hurt you too bad, as once they've died enough they'll stop giving your enemies honor until they gain some themselves. :D
1.4 is waiting on some last details for the Knights of Lodis' guild equipment.
Once it's in, 1.4 will be released, along with a Macintosh client, so get your Mac friends to come play.
I'm a genius.
Goodnight. :D |
