Alright, this is posting to try to bring a few players who seem to have missed the point of the past 2 months entirely, and of the T4A patch.


The T4A patch was a complete upgrade of everything that the players do not normally mess with. The physical server, the software behind it, and almost every script that makes up the server itself. The worldfile itself also got a huge upgrade.

Because of this the shard runs smoother(connection has issues, they're getting worked out), faster, and is a lot more capable. And most of the bugs are gone.

However, there were quite a few sde affects, which i said there would be when we FIRST started this in a beta month, because 99% of the conversion was done by hand, even the worldfile itself had a lot of manual alterations that were done.

This means that the server is NOT currently behaving as we would like it to in the final run, and that most of the things that are different from T3A are NOT GOING TO STAY.

If it is not something we've posted that we've changed for a reason, expect it to get worked back to how it was in T3A in due time. It's a huge boatload of work, and with pretty much only me, echo, and broadband doing it, and you all can guess for yourself how the work there is divided up, it takes a LOT of time.

I'm sorry it's taken this long, a lot of stuff that should have been fixed last month was not even REPORTED until this month, which aggrivates me, but oh well, we'll deal with it. But there's only so many hours in each day, and all staff have real lives they must tend to, so even working full tilt we only have so many hours to put in.

So basically, to the half dozen+ players who missed it the first time i said this, and to three particular players who have had it pointed out to them personally and chose to ignore it, let me say it again.

IF you see something that has changed, and you dislike it, and staff have not said it was changed for a reason, EXPECT IT TO GO BACK TO HOW IT WAS IN T3A.

Not much was broken in T3A, and yes we are taking the time when we're going through all these scripts and updating to balance and fix the broken parts. But we aren't completely redoing everything, and most players realize this.

So please, use your brains. IF something makes no sense, ask for an explanation, and more than likely that explanation will be "We haven't gotten there yet, but it'll get fixed, be patient".

And if it isn't, we'll explain our reasoning behind changing it and we'll discuss it openly to either help people understand why and so that they agree, or we'll find a new alternative that makes everyone happy.

Once again: rock on, guys.

I can't imagine what level of stress you all are going through just for a "simple" free shard.

Good lord, just look at what you have acomplished in your free time alone! I think that it is sufficiant enough to throw on a resume to a real gaming company!

O.K. I'll stop kissing arse now but you guys deserve several coats of lipstick apon your butt cheeks.

Let it be known that I will still (respectfully) post some "stern" concerns every once in a while. However, it's nice to see that each salty poster is properly "schooled". I take heart in the fact that you guys don't take a good portion of your precious time to address every "sniff" and "whine" that gets posted. That simply means you are actually working on things rather than repeating yourself over and over again to the same questions or deleting posts where people talk about certain anatomical body parts. (Heh. Kids...)

O.K. I'm out of lipstick. Rock on, Obs.
