I don’t like the removal of the automatic server restarts. Now non-premiums will not be able to get in as often.
Don’t worry. All these changes are part of rising the player cap.
It better be worth it.
It will be better than “worth it”.
Thanks for being such a good server owner, Cay! :)
Sweet, no more restarts, this’ll be interesting.
Yeah I thought so too. It’s a bit of an experiment but I believe the server could actually run for a week before a restart is necessary.
I’d have to say that no restarts is catching everyone’s eye xD
XD
Goodness Cay, always working hard…
Awwww man.. No more server restarts? It’s going to be impossible to get into the server now. D: It’s already impossible to get in on weekends, because all of the younger players are out of school. And I’ve noticed that premium members are still counted in the server cap, which isn’t the greatest. When I log on and see that there’s currently 158/150 players, it just makes my heart sink. You should make it so that the server cap only includes non-premiums, or raise the cap up to 175, or even 200. These are just suggestions, though. XD Other than that, everything looks awesome! I found that I lag a lot less with the recent hardware changes, but maybe that’s just me!
Ahh! I suppose I should have read the actual sharding update first.. XD; The updates look amazing. Thanks for working so hard. :)
What does reportRTS do?
ReportRTS was the help system (/ticket)
