i'd like to play vendetta again. just been waiting for a reset. could i get an estimate in when that'll be?

edit: some generous people have donated some money to me so i'll try to play again.

Devs said next week to me.

Sweet. Nothin' like starting from a bus with 0 credits after everyone gets a week's worth of headstart from you.

=b

I'm sooo looking forward to that reset... yeah.
- arc.

There *might* be one more money bug... I'm not sure though.
After all money bugs are solved, then it's reset time.

Why not just wait for the dynamic economy before resetting?

Edit: 9600th post in General!

well the sooner the better anyways, it's getting crazy, nukes are going off as if they are sunflares. Besides they could have 2 resets, the first one they reset everything, the next one they reset only the money, so if any bugs are found then the money will be taken away and the bug will be fixed.

agreed.

"Why not just wait for the dynamic economy before resetting?"

Thats what we are waiting on. There is no point for a reset until this is put into place. If it was to be reset it would be a few hours/days time before someone would be stinking rich again.

Actually, we're waiting for the Money Bug issues to be completely addressed. This requires a new server, which is currently being architected by Andy. I'm not going to reset anything until the existing exploits are solved. This may also cooincide with the new Dynamic Economy going into effect. We hope so. The hingepin is really the money bugs, though. Until that's fixed, we will delay the release of other gameplay features that are reset-dependent (like the economy).

New server... As in new hardware, or a software recoding?

I win!

Hey guys, put up a "buy Guild a Server" Paypal donation goal-o-meter. We contribute for each component as it's needed.

Yes Cause we are all millionaires =p, but if i could afford a server i'd definately donate it to the development of this game, but i can't. =/

Can I use my Venedetta acount for donations cause Hoax is pretty well off. He could float guild 10 or 20 mil for a server ...

/msg "BountyBot" send "guildsoftware" 10000000

Software, not hardware. The current server code sucks too much to fix, so I'm starting over in order to make all things server-side more efficient, more robust, and more powerful. For instance, a "the server will restart in 30 minutes and counting..." script.

But it's gonna take some time.

What happened to all the server backend changes in 3.3.0? Were they all for naught?

Rogue, coding never gets lost or is wasted. Even if one goes in a completely wrong direction, the process of doing that teaches you something and shows you how to code it better next time round.

The 3.3.0 changes are great, but had nothing to do with the piece of software we refer to as the "server". They were the rewriting (or creation) of the Sector Daemon, which is also part of the overall "server" as far as you guys are concerned, but in actuality is what controls the sectors, docking, AI, etc.. not packet routing. We hoped to leave the "server" daemon untouched, but it needs too much work.

You can say that again. 9 Crashed today. All the roids vanished, station was gone, I became invulnerable. I'll fill out a bug report in the morning.
