Ci's / Server Crash's - Endless Ages

WarMinister · 05-24-2008, 10:19 PM

I 1st started playing this game in beta 7, played for 5 yrs straight and dealt with ci's the whole time simply because i was crazy about the game. I maxed out 3 chars (ci's included) and quit the game (not because of all the ci's) but because of all the changes that were made that upset alot of other players as well and caused them to quit. I always hoped they would some day bring back the old EA and make it more stable and make it more enjoyable to play without all the ci's. Well, I just came back to the game and the ci's are just as bad if not worse. It's just so sad that a game that is as awsome as this is that it would be so unstable after all these years. After leaving i began to play a game from the phillipines (on the other side of the world) i played it for 2yrs and guess what not a single ci the whole time..hmmm
Now im sure there will be a few of you bash me for this post like.. (hey man it's free so don't b**** about it) free or not i prefer to enjoy my game play especially when it comes to a game i became so addicted to, so save it!! I've been playing for 2wks now and actually enjoy some of the changes such as some of the quests and the changes of the spawns for the quests, but the ci's are driving me crazy. I just don't understand why it has to be so unstable after all this time. ok im done b******g just had to speak my mind is all.

If you're referring the the many CI's these past few days, they were necessary. The server had to be disconnected in order to implement updates that fixed lighting, the instancing system, the launcher, and other things. =)

CI's were pretty common in Booster, even more so than now. Most of the time, it's not that bad. They usually resume and don't require relogging in. So far (in Reborn), I have experienced very few CI's that do not resume and were not due to updates. I understand how CI's can be quite annoying, especially if you're in the middle of a dangerous area, and die because of the sudden spike, but it's bearable. At least with the fixed instancing system, your body will still be there for you when you get back. =p

Also, we've just became aware of some bad memory on our server system and are getting it replaced.

thx for replying jason but how hard would it be to implement a message that would move across the top of the screen saying... server will be closing soon please log out now? It's not just the ci's im refering to, there's been times the server has gone down for updates with no warning. The game i played from the phillipines (not saying the name) had this type of message. I mean, there's times you can have some insane mobs on your butt and you don't always have the time to look at the chat box "for" a warning incase there is one. Just a suggestion. Thx

Generally that type of message should show up in your chat box, however due to some unforseen reason Aaron has told me that there is no notification.

Instead i've been going in game manually and announcing it to the mainworld in hopes clannies and friends will tell each other.

Its all I can do for right now until Aaron fixes the /broadcast command.
