Hello there everyone, and welcome to the slightly belated version of the weekly update. I apologize for the delay, as I was in the middle of moving to a new home. As many of you know, moving is just not fun at all and personally, I am glad it is done. Now if I could just make my internet connection work, I would have all I need.

Frelorn has posted this week's update:
Hello there everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend.

Let�s get right into things for this week. I have some good news and some bad news. We are going to start with the bad news, which in a way is related to the good news. The bad news is that we are going to have to delay the launch of the July event for one week. The new date set for the July event is July 25th. As we continued to test some new content we found that we just needed more time to balance things out and get some needed fixes into the game.

  Maintenance Cancelled - Friday, July 14, 2006 -  [ 2 Comments ]
Print News | Mail News
Frelorn has posted an update regarding the recent authentication issues.
After continued discussions, we have decided to wait to deploy the fix. Taking the risk of deploying a fix of this magnitude on a Friday is risky at best. No matter how much testing is done, something could still go wrong. If something were to happen over the weekend the impact would be greater than if we just wait to deploy the fix early next week.

We know this is not what most of you want to hear, but as of right now we feel it is best if we do this when we have several consecutive day to watch this rather than putting it live on a Friday.

We apologize in advance for any trouble this may cause anyone, as our intentions are to make sure that a fix of this importance is done correctly.

  Authentication Issues Update  [ 3 Comments ]
Print News | Mail News
Frelorn has posted an update regarding the recent authentication issues.
So I wanted to take this time to give you an update as to where we stand. Our continued testing and the downtime today has helped us locate what we think to be the problem. That is the good news. The bad news is that the issue is with some code that is very deeply imbedded in the billing/authentication system. What that means is while we know what the problem is; we are going to have to be very careful working on a fix. If something were to go wrong with any fix we try to implement, it could break the billing and authentication system even more than it already is. And we don't want that.

So we have the first attempt at a fix getting ready to be sent over to our QA department. While this is good, due to the sensitivity of the issue, it will take some time to test. This means as much as we would like it, the fix will more than likely not be in place today, but we are very optimistic that we will have a fix in place by the end of the week.

We greatly appreciate all of the help we have gotten from the players and everyone else who has been halping us get to the bottom of this issue. When we have more information, I will post it and hopefully have some more good news.

How do you feel about the Viamontian/Grael story arc?
It's the best arc ever!
I like it a lot.
It's average.
I've seen better.
This is the worst one I've played.
