    I disagree. The issues sparkie listed are content related. The quote I listed is scalability of a a update and your right you cannot QC when thousands more login.

    However when going form QC to live production there should not be any changes made to the environment; otherwise, the testing that was done become invalid not matter how 'small' the change may have been. Clearly whatever update PWE is performing QC on is not the the same update that is being released to its user base otherwise these content issue would have been identified beforehand.

    I can only guess the reasons for these oversights are:

    1) There is no QC being tested by PWE.
    2) The test environment for the QC is not a clean install of the new updated content.
    3) The live update coming from PWI is not the same update PWE performed its QC on.

    I'm sure there are other options but even if its just these three the responsibility all falls on PWE. They are the final line of defense to insure a good product is released to its user base and they continually fail at the basic roll.
    4. Things just go wrong when you factor in thousands more people than before, for some reason.

    Sparkie has said in this thread that these issues didn't show up on the testing server. So you're free to disagree, but the evidence supports that sometimes stuff just goes wrong.

    And honestly, for a case of Murphy's Law, this isn't that bad.

    Please do not panic.
    This is just some bugs related to usual christmas expansion rush. But they now have some experience to deal with it.

    On a sidenote, if I download the huge patch and there finally is a rollback, will I have to redwonload another huge patch ? Still don't know if I upgrade tonight or not.

    How can the forges work properly on the test server but not operate under the same properties on the live server? That makes absolutely no sense. It's an inanimate object; strict line of code. It should have no difference whether there are 5 people on or 500. By that logic, the test server may show that I'm a Barbarian but on the live server I'm a cleric?

    We get different builds of test servers. The one we had, did not have the wrong forge. This was a change made by China (by accident) that made it's way onto the live build last minute, in which no one caught because it wasn't an issue when testing.

    You could bot for an entire year and not make enough to buy one of the +10 orbs they let people keep. Seriously, have you ever seen someone botting? For that matter, they integrated a bot into the game, and then punish people on the possibility they might use it?

    So only SOME people are able to hyper fc. I demand a roll back. So you have some people that are able to run and hyper level in FC while the rest of us are just screwed. This is a huge unfair advantage for the people that are unable to do so. Therefore that should warrant a rollback to prevent others from gaining on this unfair advantage of hyperleveling. Please fix this.

    Is rollback a rumor or confirmed? That's the only thing i'm concerned about. If it is confirmed, how far back is it going to be?

    Flying AFK I used to earn 2 mill daily, not even paying a lot of attention because I was busy, studying.

    If you don't want to play to earn your things, you better don't play. That is how it works.

    You can log into whichever character you please. The Pill won't be fixed until we get a small patch, so you won't have to worry until then. (I'll update everyone when that happens)

    It is true.

    Far in game - more time to play for common poor players.

    Real time or real money - players choose to spend.

    Will the Illusionary Stone be mailed to the first character we logged onto today, or the first one after the patch that fixes the stone, or something else?

    So what about the real r9rr for the new classes and the sage/demon skills? Will they take a bit longer to be implemented or have they been there on the test server built? Important would be to know if the actual r9 molds for the new classes drop in WS. Else I could safe quite some time.

    We need an answer to the rollback problem asap....people are wasting their time doing stuff while you guys decide this. I want a roll back. It is confirmed there are some people that are able to hyper fc while others cant. This is a huge and unfair advantage and needs to be corrected. Please dont take all day to decide and let us know soon.
