Characters from Molecular Blue will be erased.
We\'ll have a new server as well.

Note that you will be able to transfer at least part of your collected crystals to the CB char. But indeed the MB chars are completely removed (in fact the entire MB database will be removed and replaced).

I do hear that they are going to let you reserve your old MB name & transfer it to CB so there is no identity theft but I am not sure when they would do that? I think they will? I Cant wait! It looks like its closer then ever... 8)

*steals monkeths food satchel, and while gorging himself among the jerky, he explains his main reason for loving planeshift*     Hraliss says: Food


So i hear that there will be new models for cb, is this true? Oh, might as well bring this discussion to a thread that matches it.

*hands back monkeths empty food satchel*

I think it means we have more than one server.  I also think those numbers are ping\'s.

The background looks nice.

Still the one server but good to have this option anyways for future.  Plus helps a lot in testing ( don\'t have to change config files or type in new server addresses )

And tomorrow, it will be EVEN CLOSER.

I\'ll try and clear a few things up.

Later, proabably about a week before the release of CB, they will give you the option(on the website likely) to reserve your character if you plan on playing still. On next release they will wipe out the momeory banks, after saving the reserved names, making room for CB.
They will also start using multiple servers, to prevent server drops and lag plagues. Each one will be able to hold a certain number of people before it sinks to MB integrity.
Though it is only a rumour, I\'ve hard that there will be portals to the other servers so you can travel in game to see the other people(though it would be cool, I doubt that).

I can say for sure this wont happen until Fragnetics gets so overloaded that serious lag is a daily issue on the server. So no, not in CB. SB maybe, but definitely not right away.

Gah!! SB?  What could it stand for??? Silicone Blue?  Saphire Blue?

For the portal thing... you could always just reload into another server right :)?

Maybe SB will be \'Somewhat finished Blue.\' v.v;

You could, but I\'m too lazy for that.

Acraig said: Still one server.

The selector is only for easy server switching when we need to local test / online test.

Somewhere venge posted the future structure of the server, and there we should have multiple server connected in a backbone and you shouldn\'t feel that it\'s on many servers, other than the faster connection.
But that\'s for the future

So... is this going to be one of those multi-server games in the future, like 13 different servers ?

Post by: Cybio Kingfist on July 26, 2004, 06:13:16 pm

Much later, apparently.

Planeshift wont need more than one server for atleast 5 years imo. As always, I\'m just guessing, but seeing as how Fragnetics can take a lot more players than there is atm, we wont need another one anytime soon (and yes, I know that there will be a new CB-server) :)

Post by: Cybio Kingfist on July 26, 2004, 07:51:33 pm

I don\'t care how many there are as long as it\'s stable(which is more than what could be said about the MB server).

The MB-server is very stable. However, the MB-code is not.

have the devs decided if the server going to be a hive of servers like eve with the one game world running on a few connected servers

or will it have multiple worlds on multiple servers like everquest?

\"In fact we do have some documentation. We mostly keep it to ourselves though. Here is one example (work in progress) doc which may explain some things to those of you who need to get your bearings in the code.

IMO a true MMORPG should be 1 world to make the feeling optimal
