[QUOTE="Ysold, post: 1365361, member: 173930"]The ore nodes in Whiteguard Foothills are quite hard to see and target. Other scenes with the same layout (Twins Foothills a.o.) have ore nodes at least double size..[/QUOTE] I just checked the ore nodes in Whiteguard Foothills and saw they are the...
Brittany Estates released with several empty buildings for some reason. I don't know why but it bugs me so every so often I go back and add a few props. I was the one who added those barricades to block the upstairs, so at least there's a hint of fiction supporting why they're so empty. Added as...
Not every NPC who works with wood will also be a carpentry merchant. This is the case here in Tanglemire. (Also, unlocking an NPC to be a merchant after a quest would require new tech.)
Update: Had a meeting with the data center folks Monday afternoon. We discussed a number of topics, including what options they have for us to reduce exposure to this kind of outage. The RCA offered by the ISP indicates that a third party was responsible for taking the circuit down (between...
Thank you all for the kind words! Though it is true that I was up and actively working on the project when the connectivity went down, I haven't (primarily) been working nights for well over two years. My responsibilities started requiring that I interact with "day walkers" after I actively...
Service was restored at 06:54am CT, I have spoken with the Austin data center and requested an official RCA (Root Cause Analysis) for the outage and advisements as to what can/will be done to increase the resiliency of the Cogent PoP (Point of Presence) and the monitoring of the handoff. I...
I reached out to the Data Center. Cogent has dispatched at technician to site, we do not have an ETA at this time. Will update again as soon as we get more info. Atos (Chris) and Undone (Bobby) are on standby to go to the data center.
We lost connectivity to the Austin Datacenter at about 1:38 AM. the data center said they didn't see an issue, so I spoke with Cogent Communications (the backbone provider for our internet and they advised that the router circuit to the data center is down. I called the data center back and...
Thanks so much, everyone, for the wonderful compliments and interest in the process! I'm so glad you like seeing some of the behind-the-scenes-efforts it takes to bring things like this to life inside the game!

Salutations! I'd meant to post this a bit earlier, but alas life seems to get in the way (honestly, I've had my nose pressed onto FAR TOO many different grindstones, and it's been difficult juggling everything)! But I've been wanting to create THIS particular item for quite some time! Back in...
[QUOTE="KnightRider0070, post: 1362304, member: 55703"] Sometime in January, this spawn rate was reduced considerably. I used to be able to find at least 1 gold dragon a day, sometmes 2-3. Now I am lucky to find it [B]once a week[/B] on regualar visits to the breach. [/quote] No one has changed...
All of the wyverns in that wave battle were initially "normal" wyverns, but a long way back about half of them were converted to "wave battle" versions that have slightly different rules (different loot, different experience, etc.). I suspect you're unable to tame the "wave battle" versions and...
Thanks everyone for a great event! I have to say that I really really appreciate everyone who helped out with food prep and grilling and cleanup (before and after :D). Looking forward to doing another player event soon. Prolly shouldn't wait until 2044!

[QUOTE="Elwyn, post: 1363489, member: 160002"]So anyhow, now that I've been playing it for a few weeks, I can confirm that some of the guards do indeed get "stuck". Often it's the same ones in the same places. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I think of it as that they've nodded...

I spoke with Paypal about this since more than one Player has indicated they have had issues. They re-assured me that there are no issues on our side, this is entirely within the PayPal system. You should have been notified that your transactions were blocked for security reasons. They...
I have had one other player advise of this error as well. PayPal is denying the purchase for some reason. I see no failed transactions on our side. The other player also indicated that his bank saw no attempt from PayPal to complete a transaction. So it's not the bank denying it either. If...

I agree with this. Will add this to the list of enhancements. Need to create the tech that will automatically send a server message. Posting a thread in announcements about the unplanned login outage.
