LoTC 2.5 Transitional Information

[ShadowoKing 86]

Wished to do alot more on Asulon but seems some people ruined that. Like this backup idea, would keep us not leaving and something different everytime. Question, has it started now or preparing?

Once the Adyton Island event has concluded, the races of aegisfollow the fleeing villagers through an eastern opening in the fog opened by the villagers.

Damn it, Kharajyr not coming sadly I understand.

Wow...the map is gone...I can't believe it...

[Beneh 227]

I would also like to ask how the DDOS issue will be tackled , as it could easily continue into 3.0

[Dargene 51]

Thanks for the update cant wait for 3.0, interested to see how transition will work.

[Zezimus 1523]

Kind of a buzz kill, with no final event and all. But it's not your fault so it's all good. Hopefully the one who caused this is stripped, cuz thats irresponsible mayn

Oh, I'm sure there'll still be a final event. As Native said, we do still have some sections of the Asulon map saved.

As for the build server, progress is steady but we're getting there. Whenever the time comes for its release, I'm sure it'll be well worth the wait.

By the nine, why can't a server just have some peace and quiet...

[Blundermore 2741]

ShiftNative check your skype chat at some point as I've sent you something that may help resolve the issue. I stress that "may" is a stretch of the word.

In all honesty I could care less what has just happened. As long as 3.0 is solidly made then I have no complaints. Also concerning the Islands, Is this something the event team is making on their own to surprise us or is this something the players can give ideas for? I think it would be nice if the community could pitch in a little so the staff can get a little help rather than them working none stop with stress building up because some part of the community is full of people complaining over every single thing they do not like.

Plus just backing up the staff by saying "nice job cupcakes" doesn't feel like we are doing enough of what we all are capable of doing to help.

Also is ts down or is it just me?

I just hope that 3.0 will bring more players into the server. I've noticed the number of people on the server has been lowering each day it seems, so perhaps when 3.0 comes out we could make a nice trailer to post on YouTube? I'm guessing mostly older players who quit will come back, but I'd still like more players than less! Also, another question...I've seen a lot of posts about making a new trailer for LotC, but why haven't they been finished?

[Vulkin Frostbeard 58]

Indeed hopefully a lot of the old players will come back. Some of the new players are just outstanding and have great potential (Keep up the good work new players) But I would like to see an increase of some of the old players come back cause some of them made the game a bit more fun in some way.

Also I also think a trailer would be really good indeed and hopefully would help if it was released sometime around the release of 3.0

[Song Druid 1486]

Right. So I was deliberating actually being the bearer of bad news here, but I fear these questions should be addressed else we still be in the dark about the future of LotC.

While I appreciate and am impressed by the quick work of creating the 2.5 and hastening of 3.0, we are clearing up an effect of the main issue, mainly the malicious and almost constant and regular DDoS of our servers. My question is, what is going to be done about the main issue? If the attacks persist, regardless of 3.0 or not, it will ultimately push players out of LotC as the attackers want. What are options we can explore? :(

[Kardel 1054]

*lesigh* Oh well, bye bye alchemy tower. . .

[Eledyr 85]

Well hopefully we learned something from this, namely that creating back ups is a necesity.

Also I fear that I have to agree with Arik, a solution needs to be found because otherwise the server will never be reinstated into what it was before. (I know that finding a solution would not be an easy task)

[IrishPerson 693]

So, we lost Asulon because someone did not back it up on a hard drive?

I will not rage even though I think this is perfect reason too.

How do you intend to stop the attacks? We are driving people away because of this?

Also just an idea but why not finish the current things in 3.0 now and then let us into the map. Then us the player base may "make" the rest of it and allow us to roleplay?

or

Find a reason to leave Asulon and in the rush we find ourselves in Aegis and we try to recover and fix it all. However when 3.0 is ready the undead can start to ocme back.

Just ides.

[Fengric 68]

That's pretty unfortunate.

Though I am thankful that you have taken the time (As you do every morning) to give us the information we wanted. We know you and the other admins shift are really dedicated to this server, so thanks for the update, at least now we aren't in the dark
