Can any GM here just be honest to themselves and to the players as well?

Is there a DEV team at gamez atm? What are the updates on fixing the bugs, crashes and lag?

if you dont want the players to think that you are after the money of the donators then might as well answer the questions about the crashes. Come to think of it if this server gets fixed and run smoothly again the more players the more donators you'll have guys, just think of it.

 

Not everything can be fixed right away, sometimes things take time. IE. This is a memory leak (sometimes) and we have to repair that first. And its not one simple fix. Its something we gotta fix, then fix another thing that attaches and uses that thing. =p.

Tis not simple.

Carl and Aeon are not in it for the money. That's for sure, Carl enjoys working on the server.


(DEV. Boxx. and zer0)

 

From what I heard Boxx and zer0 left.

Boxx left for being accused as ganji

zer0 for IRL issues or so.

 

Most people dont realize that fixing problems with the server involves sorting through hundreds of thousands of lines of code to find bugs and errors.

Also, one fix could break something else, and you never know until you try.

Working with code is never easy. Please have patience and understanding.

 

just out of curiosity, there is a source code for aion? or u guyz using ASM/hex?

 

ZP was just here a week ago, but I imagine RL issues trump working on a server with no pay....

I really hope that our Dev team here is not reduced to just Carl, the guy really needs some help to get the server back to at least 80% after the 1.9 patch...

at the moment I guess it is running about 50-60% if you consider it in terms of lag and crashes...

50%< server offline for more time than playable in a one day period, huge lag and more bugs than fixes
50-60%< still many bugs, server crashes and downtime
60-70%< good amount of play time with limited latency and crashes
70-80% <many bugs fixed, good range of server quests/instances/options, limited downtime
80-90%<most content working, very few crashes in one week
90-100%< all content available, no crashes, good population, the server is run by a GOD!!!

I would say at 1.5 we had about 70-85% but since 1.9 it has gone down significantly due to GM hassles and drama as well as server issues.

We all hope Carl can get it back up to this or even better...

this will take alot of work though

ALL INSTANCES
ALL PVP *impossible to get forts cause then no donations*
ALL QUESTS *or most of them fixed, at least campaign ones*
ALL SKILLS *both pvp and non pvp working properly*
NPC fixes *would have to get rid of free flight everywhere for this one, which nobody wants of course, but this is what bugs alot of NPC's into walls etc until server restart*
MANY MANY OTHER THINGS!!!!

So as you can see I just listed the basic, to run a server 100% is nearly impossible for private but to get it 70-80% I think is achievable. Some would say it is running lower than 50% at the moment but be fair it is private and it is better than many others
