Posted December 10, 2014 It was expected, at least I expected problems. Problems are being fixed, and we don't have enough information to tell these devs how. I'd suggest to just cool off and lets see how a tough release looks like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2014 This is EXACTLY why I won't buy premium time in advance. Recent 'direction of development' and the chronic lack of bridges has made me contemplate another extended sabbatical from Wurm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2014 Oh man I get it, problems come up, but at this point they are just shutting us out of the game. That means they should be able to do the same work they are doing now in their testing environment. The rest of us that just want to play on our freedom or epic servers should be able to do so. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Seriously, after Archeages fails, this is really lightweight stuff, itll all come out in the wash. Last DT we had on AA was 3 days..and that was just for addin a patch. When they did the actual opening of a new continent, nearly 3/4 of all the players could not log in, and if for whatever reason you got DC'd you couldnt log back in. And this is with not 1 but 2 AAA companies hitting it with all thier resources. So really...lol...as terrible as it seems, this is really lightweight bug stuff. Itll all be fine in a few.

Posted December 10, 2014 Ohh the challenge was a forum stress test? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2014 So I believe the problem lies in that No server can be up if Golden Valley is down... All servers are linked too it.The Problem I am guessing they are having is actually getting the portal to work from GV too Storm and they cannot test and fix this in an offline mode.They have to physically restart GV over and over again each time they make an alteration to try and get this to work.... However this is just an educated guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2014 They named it after a space shuttle... (pretty tasteless, I know - also not totally accurate) In prep for the new server (which 90% of the player base doesn't want) and the new update for the rest of the new content, I've been depriving myself of RL sleep, to consume as much of my SB as possible, on all my alts. *Sits back and wait for SB to magically refill* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Maybe if most guys did not spam on local they would've let us in the servers while they are doing their stuff hm? I mean first it was the bells and now the server. Edited December 10, 2014 by ownerpure5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 10, 2014 Hi everyone As suggested, this is an issue with the connection and portal between the storm server and the golden valley server, thus the need to take the golden valley server down which will affect all servers. There were also a few issues regarding skillgain on other servers that needed to be addressed, which have unfortunately caused further downtime. I understand there is frustration while waiting for the challenge server to be brought online and I ask for your patience, the development team is working hard on resolving all issues and getting you back in the game as soon as possible.

Posted December 10, 2014 Well the issue is its bothering all servers when this is split from the rest does not make any since really other than what he said up there that its connected to GV which sucks for the rest of us trying to play the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2014 As suggested, this is an issue with the connection and portal between the storm server and the golden valley server, thus the need to take the golden valley server down which will affect all servers. Retrograde This was my main concern with the launching of the challenge server, that it would somehow negatively impact those others who play the game who have little to no interest in it. Now here it is plainly spelled out by a staff member that this issue (and perhaps others in the future?) will prevent game play on every other server as well. A sad state of affairs indeed. Hopefully after this new server is up and running it will no longer effect any of the other servers in this manner, preventing others from playing on them. =Ayes= 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
