    DEV's could you please look into this and maybe have an ingame error report instead of a client crash o we can manualy quit the game to desktop.

    I wish we could, but it is not our client and we cant change the source of it :). What most of us devs do is use it in windowed mode.

    faction- starting with the negative faction removes some choices in gameplay. To gain faction will be a mind numbing grind

    This is the same as live....

    We are currenly working on adding the 3 new classes also so this makes us have to do a balancing act, so in order to add them you have to change some things. Factions are currely having a lot of issues once this is worked out factions will be alot closer to live.

    It sounds all good and proper, until some players decide to kite these high level mobs into low level players, since they are low level zones.

    I think adding some more higher level content to some mid level sectors could be ok, but I think it's probably best to avoid the sectors in Sol, since these are actually pretty busy sectors with new players already.

    I'll also note that there is still a few high level spawns from the mid level sectors that are missing still, like the CL 50+ Red Dragons at the base near the RD gate in Inverness, althoguh I'm sure people would go mad if that missing spawn was re-added, lol

    We could also add a max kite distance from the spawn and make it at lets say 25K from the spawn it will go back to the spawn.

    Hey Everyone,

    There are some changes that were made to buffs. We would like for people to go on the PTR server and test to see how it all works. I have moved over every account that was signed up before this time. The main testing goal is to see if 1. The server will not crash 2. See if buffs wear off in the correct amount of time.

    Thanks,

    David

    No we do not have any one shot installers because of the ownership of EA we can not really do that. What you can do is download the installer from Ea and then just run the launcher and it will update all your files to the current version. We should be coming out with a new patchier soon to go from the demo version of the client to the latest version.

    Thanks,

    David

    Added PTR forum info.

    Hey everyone,

    As some of you may know we now have put up a public test realm for people to play on. This server is going to be used for the developers and players to hopefully work out issues before patches are made to the play server. This may not always be the case, but we are going to try to move most big changes to the PTR (Public Test Realm) first.

    On a side note about the PTR, we will not promise anything with your characters. We will be wiping any time we need on this server. Many of times what we need tested will be handed to you when you create a new character (Items, Levels, Skill points, etc.). We will announce any major bug testing that will be going on using the launcher.

    The last thing is since the PTR is running on the same server as the Developer server it may not always be online. If we need to free up ram for testing it may be pulled off line until we need it for testing. This server is not a “play server” but a server for testing.

    The address for the PTR server is ptr.net-7.org. I am going to try to keep it up to date with the newest accounts on the play server so that everyone can log into it. As we decide more of how we are going to run the PTR server we will let you know.

    Thanks,

    David

    Addendum:

    Please direct your attention to the PTR forums HERE for updates and announcements regarding the test server, as well as to discuss testing and to post bug reports.

    I never ever said the Devs sucked... ever. but if we are going to read between the lines, pretty funny when something only slightly negative is posted, well the old how would you like a closed test? Sort of sounds like a threat to me?

    Actualy soon as I get the time we are going to set up another server for everyone to test on. We will be asking you guys to come over and test before it moves to the play server. This will be more like a public test realm.

    Don't refer to GMs, They mostly do testing/tickets overall from my understanding. Good Luck getting a Dev to do a poll about 'content' they are usually very quiet about it, then just go "Okay, I'm bored lets upload this content." then a week or 2 later they end of up nerfing it due to much, made it very hard due to low player base. Or just to many bugs (such a engine not coming back on from ten-gu)

    Ouch...We work very hard to try and balance things out. Sometimes things get broken, but we have a VERY small dev team...unlike WOW and many other games, and they still get it wrong. It is very hard to work on an MMORPG.

    Even the advert thing sounds a bit fishy.

    Some people coming into this for the first time might be disinclined to download something that will spam advertisements -- and there's a risk of losing existing players.

    I usually avoid stuff that looks like it contains peer-to-peer, adware or malware on general security principles)

    There will not be adverts on the launcher :) I would hate that lol.

    Remember back in live you were able to pay money to get more credits and bonus sp? The extra credits may not be that important to most people but I guarantee the bonus sp anybody could use. Make it scalable, $5 donation gets you 2 bonus sp, $10 gets you 5, etc. Make it a rule that the bonus can only go to one toon so you can avoid the "hey, can you give 3 sp to this guy and 2 to that guy and...."

    While this sounds great for donators we really cannot do this legally. At some point we want to come up with a way to reward the donators for keeping the play server up and running, but we are not sure how we will do this yet.

    The one thing all these projects have in common is a UI that allows the addition of content. This emulator doesn't provide for that. I think it's a

    reasonable assumption the server isn't complete without the content the database contains. Therefore, I'm of the opinion the scope of the "work" with regard to the Creative Commons License encompasses both the source code and the database, and that means everything should be public. If you can show me another open source project with the same configuration, using the same CC license, with part of the IP closed source, let me know. I might change my mind.

    Have you looked in the tools dir in the svn?

    Hey Everyone,

    I want to stay out of this but I do have to say a few things. One of the things I hate about posts like this is as a dev I feel like everything I do I get attacked for. Every day I get on here I end up reading about a post where someone isn’t happy with something we are doing. Myself I just want to code and get things working. Once things are working we can release all of what we have and be done with it, but instead I am replying to messages like this and not coding. For the people wanting to get this project done having all of the devs have to defend every move we make isn't going to move us any faster.

    Thanks,

    David

    P.S. Posts like this do not motivate m:):(

    After you submit a ticket all replys goto your email address that you put in. Depending on the problem you may also be contacted in game if you can get in game. As I said before I have even helped people in game asking for help. Most GM's do this but if they are busy helping other people they may not be able to help you in game so you will have to goto a ticket and wait for a GM to be free.

    Thanks,

    David
