Things going up...and down.

Ok, so all the mushy welcome back stuff aside, I’ve actually had a nice reception. All the comments have been positive, and I’m pleased to see people asking me questions about the blog whilst online, and to extend on that point; due to popular demand I’ve added a chat box to my website on the right hand side so people can freely chat about the game and anything they want whilst online or checking the blog, but please don't let this chat box discourage you form leaving me a comment.

Anyway, now on to the down, and mainly speaking, the test server. It seems as if arvid was all pretty much all day and all night going around the server cleaning up, depending on how warranted this was form vult-r, this is quite a weird thing to have happen seeing as the admins aren’t the most helpful people, and now it seems as if test server is down, a reboot? A rollback? HAVE THEY SHUT IT DOWN?! Unlikely, in my opinion he's just been going round tidying up the server of idiots, and it now seems as if they're taking a break in order to get everything up to scratch, there may be some hardware issues or glitches which need checking on, and after all it is the weekend, what better time to do so. It seems farfetched that a new version would just pop up out the blue, so i'm willing to rule that option out.But what i find quite weird is that the test server online player list lists some people as being online, so the general consensus is that people that we're on at the time are still online, whereas people that have logged off cannot logg back on, although this needs confirmation, it seems as if that is the case. So if this were the case, a logg in barricade, then what is it for? Obviously, i don't have the answers, no-one but arvid and vult do, all we can do is wait it out, so please everyone try to remain clam, I’m sure everything will be clear soon.

Another down would be the latest hack going round, in which these 'dupers' can replicate skins and in occasions items by warping packets after dieing in arena to go to a special area in which all people's data resides until they respawn, in doing this you can actually gain someone else's paperdoll once you scroll out of there. Of course, i have no interest in learning how to do this, and for thee good of the economy i don't intend on telling you lot how to do it either, but it is a problem and maybe the fixing of it is why arivd and vult have temporarily shut test down in order to perform some tests, after all, that's what the server is for.

By the way, if anyone still wants to enter themselves in for the prize draw (100k) go to the first post of my new regime (don't send me flowers...) and post a comment there, we currently have 5 people in the running and only a couple days to go =0.

Thanks
