    Short Server Downtime Empty Short Server Downtime

    Post  Lavitiz Sun Oct 07, 2012 8:57 pm

    So, Rotem and I had to make a TON of core changes to the source the last update. This was required not only for server stability and to rid of ancient inefficient code, but it was to prep the server for a bigger update.

    Now, this isn't just an update of bug fixes and interface changes. This is what I'd call a "content" update. Meaning spells, quests, and the rest of the additions are secret due to the intensity of the content. Come on, we need to keep you guys guessing. xP.

    Back to the point. The server will be down for a SHORT while so Rotem and I can sort out the spell issue, and several other parts of the code that are buggy now due to massive changes.

    I do have a general question for you all that's just for feedback. We're not doing this, bit I am curious as to how the community would react if we did.

    I was thinking we could just wipe SPELLS only. I feel like the time being spent into restoring spells has been too great and we could make a better impact with content updates if we spend that time working on the big update.

    There was only a few spells taught in that period, so you wouldn't be missing a whole lot. As for classes, I'll be trying to get a set schedule setup for all of you so that you know when you can expect them.

    Please leave us come comments and any concerns you might have!

    Thanks, Lav.

    its not to hard to just reteach the couple ppl that had spells, i mean if you wanna wipe spells you have to atleast give the ones you get from lvling and incendio back due to no one having those. so why not click that teach verb acouple of more times.

    The players who missed out on leveling spells can easily get theirs restored.

    However if we run around reteaching those who had learned something, we'd first have to make sure they really learned it. Not to mention there's going to be plenty of players who don't login to get their restored like that.

    Uh, Fiona sorry about that but Lavitiz posted that 3 months ago...

    On another note, I talked to Lav on the Byond messager and I'm not quite sure if this means that Lav canceled the game (I hope not Sad):

    "Skystone - Hi Lav, how's the update?

    Skystone - Lol, sorry Sad

    Lavitiz - Dead.

    Skystone - What?

    Skystone - What happened man?"

    End of HPANF? I hope not...


    Edit: I'm also surprised that nobody was complaining about the server being down and all. It really shows how awesome you guys are Smile.

    I would like to know why the server is off too. But I didn't, I thought that they are doing this server for us, they do New Year stuff and in some days we'll be able to play the game.

    I'm pretty sure that it is foolish of you to think that the game is closing: it was created 4 months ago.

    The server being down only supports that HPANF is down, however Lav something like dead really makes me think that the game is canceled.

    @Vsevolod

    The game has been in development since 2009. I'm sure it will be back soon.

    The initial topic was responded to ages ago, and it's getting off-topic. I'll make an announcement here soon.
