Well Gents and Ladies,

I have that awful thing called work in the morning. I will see you all later.

Think about that class action suit, we would SO win! :mrgreen:

he goes to ljubljana University, odds are he'll be in the benches or in transit by then. but he might have checked the server before then.


as for finding pets: he has written a script that auto-shrinks your pets in case of massive log-out or crashes, they should be fine.

Yea, got up at 9am, went to school right away. From the logs i see it was an about 28 minute disconnect, starting at exactly 5:00 AM shard time. ISP issue - when they upgrade something they simply plug everything out and then when they're finished they plug it in. I guess they havent heard of reliability :/


Here's the network announcements if anyone cares to look when the shard is still online :) they tend to publish it at least a few days before a scheduled maintenance. Look for "Ljubljana" (that's my region).

Server ariving in a couple of minutes at gate 3 with latest fixes. Also running with saves on a ramdisk which hopefully will reduce save times, however not sure if that will actually work, as it's running on a virtual OS.

Ok it's loading now (5 minutes till the show continues).

Was a bug with encryption, the thing that enables players to connect by directly doubleclicking the client.exe file. This bug has been in for over 2 years but has only now shown itself. I've put two layers of protection against it and we shouldn't be hearing from it again.

I'm sorry to tell you that there will be an approx 40 minute revert though :cry:
