    If you don't realize that the old server version would be incompatible with our upgraded clients, then you aren't a very good IT manager.


    Actually, I am an exceptional IT manager, which is why I manage all IT services for a particular Federal Agency in a particular state. (no, I won't give details beyond that for security reasons) What you fail to realize is that each time your updater (what you are actually launching when you double-click the icon) is booted, it searches out the server for the correct game version and pulls down a patch if necessary. (Much the same as is done with Windows System Update Server, SMS, Patchlink.....shall I go on?) It's actually quite the simple programming feat to write a piece of code that forces the updater (different program than the client) to see a newer version out there and pull it down....regardless of whether the actual patch being puller down is newer or older than that which is currently installed.

    For future reference, don't try to sling a personal insult at someone when you haven't thought your argument through, or simply don't understand the processes and capabilities involved.

    EVERYONE STOP POSTING!! I HEARD THEY GET PAIDED PER POST! ITS A SCAM!!

    rofl. I love reading all the pointless speculation and thoughts that really don't make a difference. I trust that whatever the developers do it will be in the best interest of the community and am ok with whatever they do. For all you haters, you just need a faction that goes onto chat clients and kicks backs and relaxes.. JOIN NWO Sanc. server lvl 50+ TT, TW, FB... yeah the normal shat rofl.

    j/k b:chuckle

    don't really have anything new to update you all with. there's a bunch of stuff in need of fixing and a lot of folks hard at work getting it all squared away.

    enjoy your friday though. go out and get a hot dog and enjoy a breath of fresh O2. by the time you return back home maybe it will all be fixed.

    peace all!
    Remember, posting on these forums is not a right - It's a PRIVILEGE!

    At the risk of another wall-o-text from you, I'm going to have to disagree. Do you see all the BS going on in this board right now? I guarantee you a month from now this'll all be forgotten, or at worst laughed about.

    Some people are going to quit if there's a rollback. Some people are going to quit if there isn't. And some people apparently spend their lives on this board when they aren't on PW itself.

    But the bulk of us are decent people who realize that the GMs, devs and other staff are working like hell right now to fix this and the least we can do is be patient. I know for some of us it's a novel idea to actually have faith in game staff, instead of... y'know, bashing them at every turn because they have power and we don't. But you've noticed that darth and a few others have been here posting and trying to respond to the whole situation, and trying to spread a little light-hearted humor while they're at it. Sorry if you feel slighted that they personally weren't responding to you, but me, I'm commending them for the way they handle the situation as a whole.

    I'm Eltherian and I support this message.

    I agree.. though I would rather have a few dweebs have uber money and be able to play the game again than not be able to play because 10% of the people have alot of cash.. the ones that have uber $ will either blow it on telecoustics so they can talk ****, or they will get good gear, and then be stuck when they level out of it because noone else has the $ to buy it from them. b:chuckle

    ROFL that's soooo true XD b:chuckle

    Definition fail.

    File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a network protocol used to transfer data from one computer to another through a network such as the Internet.

    FTP is a file transfer protocol for exchanging and manipulating files over a TCP computer network. An FTP client may connect to an FTP server to manipulate files on that server.

    Ya I guess its ok, Lets turn the servers back on so people can exploit more money and such. I think having a bunch of people running around with 200m+ and people selling Gold charms for 1m is ok, I mean I can grind 20m an hour no problem. So ya lets do the smart thing and turn servers on so more people can get stuck in etherblade lake, Ya you guys are the smartest people I've ever seen post.


    ROLL BACK OR GIVE ME 200M++++++++

    Any update is better than no update at all, even if there's nothing new to report.

    I'm serious. This is why I love this game (among other reasons). The GMs actually give a **** about the situation. :)

    AHMAHGAWD! NO WAI! You just have to find the exit button and the door opens, or press control alt delete on your keyboard, should do the trick.
