Title: MB server shutdown. *Waves goodbye*
Post by: Xordan on December 16, 2004, 07:23:33 pm
For those of you who havn\'t seen it, news today :)

First:

Quote
You can find on the races pages in the Rules section, the starting points that will be used in CB release for each race. All races are balanced to have the same total amount of points, trying to provide as much variery as possible. You will surely find one that fits your game style or your preferred character.


And more importantly:

Quote
The Molecular Blue server has been shutdown today and will never be up again. We wave a respectfull goodbye to him, since it gave us many great emotions. A new phase is starting and the new release is quite close. The new release will give us even more fun, so don\'t be sad!!

In the next days we will post the link to the migration web pages. With those you will be able to migrate your character name and his possessions in the database of the new release (Crystal Blue). The items and crystals will be converted to trias (our in game currency) at a rate that\'s still to define. The migration process will last about 5 days, then you will no more be able to migrate old chars, so try to be here in the next days, or delegate to a friend or parent (he will need your ps account, ps account password and be able to access your email).

After the migration is done, will will make few more tests, and then we will finally release. We don\'t know yet how much time will take for those final tests.


*Salutes MB as he uninstalls it*

:)

Onward to CB!!  :D

Edit: lol, beaten to it :P

Lol i beat you to it but now your post is above mine, bugger....
Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 16, 2004, 07:26:12 pm
Lol, yeah :D

Anyway, I was on the cb server when the mb server was shutdown if that counts for anything :P
Title:
Post by: ramlambmoo on December 16, 2004, 07:28:26 pm
Obviously being online when the server shut down means your a part of planeshift history.

I wish i did a print screen on the /who i did like 5 min before the server did go offline, would have been a nice souvenir..
Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 16, 2004, 07:29:34 pm
Well there was two servers at the time, I was just on the new one :D

And I\'m already part of planeshift history :P

Server shutdown immenent!
Pleas save Char details by exiting!

Post by: ramlambmoo on December 16, 2004, 07:40:15 pm
When the guy came online and said it was rebooting i was like wtf?  Does this happen every night at this time?  And i was left sratching my head for 30min till the news post came up...
Title:
Post by: Leiraine on December 16, 2004, 07:48:34 pm
I was just downloading the MB for the first time, and it tells me it cannot be downloaded :P. I want to play the game already!!! And now who knows how long i have to wait until i can finaly start >.< . The holidays are way too short to afford waiting, but i guess its cool to start off together with the new version!
Title:
Post by: Kwip on December 16, 2004, 07:59:10 pm
Two servers Xordan?  Does that mean you are testing, or that there were two MB servers one public and one the secret trove of those who do not want to be on the other one for whatever reason? ;-)

And me I had just joined when it shut down, talk about a surprise.  Though the only reason I was off was because it the server had been droping me all day, must have been forewarnings.
Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 16, 2004, 08:04:33 pm
I\'m testing :) Notice that I have no rank image. All testers have no rank image.
Title:
Post by: Kwip on December 16, 2004, 08:10:58 pm
OK thanks.

Smashing! :)

Post by: Shadowfalcon on December 16, 2004, 09:05:51 pm
This is awesome! Finally, CB is drawing nigh! One question though, How many servers will be hosting the CB download? I hope more than one, or it will take a long time for everyone to download. Eeep! WOOT! YAHOO! GOOGLE! ASK JEEVES! YES!
Title:
Post by: Bardialus on December 16, 2004, 09:08:12 pm

Title:
Post by: Frarda on December 16, 2004, 09:44:26 pm
Maybe you can still sell it on the merchant site... maybe.
Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 16, 2004, 10:44:37 pm
Merchant site will work until database delete akaik.
Title:
Post by: Lordbug on December 16, 2004, 10:53:46 pm
ah, ok.
Q: Is there an advantage in selling/buying items for the transfer?

another question: what is going to happen to the MB guilds? are they going to be transfered?
Title:
Post by: Xordan on December 16, 2004, 11:24:15 pm
If you have a certain amount of crystals you\'ll recieve a small item :) So yes, convert away if you can.
Title: Finally...
Post by: Zedane on December 16, 2004, 11:26:15 pm

*Just remembering that he only has a 56k modem and will not be able to download it at school because of winter break, Kwip breaks down into tears*

My happiest day but also the day where I have found so many worries:

     What will I miss if I am not on 24 hours a day?
     What will I do with me able to do almost everything?
     Will there be enough time for people to sit down and talk over a fire?
     Will I be able to reach friends across a land many times bigger than the current?

But no I must face it! *Kwip steps away from the comfort of the familiar, simple, small, and slow MB into the path of the unknown, complex, large, and madingly fast CB*
Title:
Post by: Darkblade on December 17, 2004, 01:08:29 am
And to think I was going to re-emerge MB.
I\'m pretty sure it\'ll take me four hours some to download, compile and hassle my dad into opening the \"Planeshift Port\"

\"We don\'t know yet how much time will take for those final tests.\"

Well you got laxed drug laws, a goverment bent on takeing over south east asian waters before the terroists do, strange mammals with built in pouches, you have a whole Continent to mess with unlike europe or asia which has many different countrys on the same piece of land mass, nice beaches, and stuff i can\'t think of or won\'t say.....

Thing is theres alot of things to like about where you live, you just ain\'t thinking about the right things to like. :D

Suprisingly I wouldnt mind this happening. Although taking over New Zealand may be a slight liability lol.

Well it\'s extremely sad to see it go. Can\'t wait till CB though.
Title:
Post by: Lordbug on December 17, 2004, 04:20:42 pm
When we had MB we were always waiting for CB, and now that it\'s gone... I miss MB...
I hope in CB we can have those long chats in the temple that we had in MB, to remember old times.

*Sells all his stuff*

Well, 1st thing I\'ll do in CB will be... er... dieing (I think, if ther\'s no penalty in it)

Would have liked one more goodbye at MB if I knew it would be the last time but the last place Mordaan was was on his rooftop perch.  I can\'t think of a more appropriate place to go out.   ;)

*sniff*

Post by: Bardialus on December 17, 2004, 08:07:24 pm
I had just picked an Emerald up and was on my way back to the temple when I got the message to exit!  My last action in the game. lol!

It was time for the server to be nice to me I think!  Either that or it was stocking us up for the exchange!

And what would that be?  Give us somemore to discuss as we await the CB release!

Post by: Androgos on December 17, 2004, 08:33:46 pm
From the FAQ at the mainpage (which also is in this forum a couple of hundreds of times)

I died and lost all my stuff, can I have it back?

After dying your char will travel in the Death Realm, and if you can get out of there you will have your items and money back.

Post by: Jagean on December 17, 2004, 08:35:45 pm
*Uninstalls MB* Goodbye old friend.

*Wonders when CB will be out* I think it will be out before the 22nd, because thats when i go to my grandmas for Christmas.

also downloading CB... 10% 25% 60% 99% ... corrupted file arrrrrggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was on about when CB is put out to download!


*Wonders why people keep saying they downloaded CB* If it is out already where can i get it?
Title:
Post by: Waylander on December 17, 2004, 08:43:53 pm
Bleh...MB is gone.....My friend for over a year, gone...just like that....no warning....no nothing.....

Okay....what I am really sad about is the fact I have about 100 diamonds in two different banks and didn\'t get the chance to send those over to my main char.....woe is me...

On a happier note CB is coming...Menki all the way....


...

...

But wait....nice timing....Christmas break means no school....it also means party after party after party...and work....and christmas....and.....bah.....I am leaving my friends for CB!

Post by: TravXl on December 18, 2004, 04:25:09 pm
god u guys have gone totaly off topic. on another note what do u think the transfer rate for the crystals will be do you think it will be like 1 ruby is 1 tria or the devs might think that is to much cos some people have like 200 diamonds so that is like 20000 tria. i think that it would be better to have the transfer rate being every 10 rubys is 1 tria it would be better that way and there would be no big advantages.

The rate will be VERY small. If you even get anything, it\'ll probably be enough to buy a cookie in the local bakery.

So it has been done, I bid you farewell, Molecular Blue, may your departure be peaceful, and may it be as you have foretold aeons ago, that after you there shall be another, another worthy to take your place. We shall wait, we shall watch, and we shall listen, and when the time will come we shall greet one that is knows as Crystal Blue, the third creation of Talad and Laanx.

Evil watch your back for Chaotic Warriors shall rise again...

*Kwip looks warily at Syzerian, how does he know what Kwip has been doing since he got droped as the server shut down*

I believe that they had other things to transfer other than just the characters, they also might need to test the process.  I do not know because I am not dev and will not question the devs because they are the ones that hold CB right now.

*Kwip images the devs holding CB out of reach from him if he misbehaves*

Devs are the greatest! They are my heros! I want to be a dev when I grow up! (or when I just finish learning some more programming language)  Three cheers for the devs in earnest though, without them we would not have a CB to be going mad over! :D

well it is your luck, the new version will be alot better and alot more complete, with a broader range of things to do rather than hunting crystals.  Not that that wasnt fun :P
