OK,  \"little kiddies\" don\'t get all excited over the new toy.  We need to acted as grown ups and not get all giddie.  More than likely it will be back up by tomorrow morning, and I would reinstall the program, and then wait for the updater to start workin again, before, updating the program..  :baby:  :rolleyes:

harkin, you don\'t seem too happy today.  I am in a good mood and am not complaining what so ever.  I would help in getting this working if I had the time, but unfortunately I do not. :)  I am patiently waiting for the fix to be produced. :)

They aren\'t making a new updater per say.  They are actually going to be updating the updater with the current released binary.  That way we can actually play.  The current updater file is the development version for the server side.  That is why, in linux, it removes the psclient binaries.  Because it was the server updater not the client updater.. lol..  I would say by the end of today or tomorrow there should be a final say that would tell everyone to reinstall / update again to get the latest. :)  Plus with the latest, from what I saw, they are adding some extra really cool stuff. :)

EDIT: I was able to start a server with the update-code command..  I checked the code for the server and that is exactly what I saw, as it caught my eye.  It actually only showed the server stuff and not the client stuff. hmmm... :)

Barney Porn site.  That is funny.  I don\'t believe that they will ever dissapear seens how they have a lot of friends and want to do this for fun.  They will either 1. keep working on it or 2. give it to someone else to work on.  I don\'t think they will ever throw away 2 or 3 years worth of work.  This is a good thing to put in a portfolio for future jobs.

And another thing.  They don\'t want to get paid for it, as they consider it a hobby, something fun to do..  Besides if everyone that played this game, paid 10 dollars a month for instance, they would get about 30,000 - 300,000 dollars a month.  That is a lot and they know this..  That is why they want to keep it a hobby, in my opinion.  They know that this would make them have to warrant the crashes and provide technical support for it..  Which really isn\'t what they want, they want to provide a game free of charge, nothing more, nothing less, I believe.  I love their intentions..  I wish I were as skilled as they are.. :)

I don\'t mind waiting.  Will more than likely be one more day or so till they get it back up and running.  But hey, I think this game is awesome as far as the screenshots.  Almost reminds me of Everquest or something similar to that.. Besides, I think RPGs are the best thing that could ever come about with games.

We\'re lucky to have anything for free in this world right now. :)

Oh. And I\'m sure there are many private test servers that the devs personally use. Still, mistakes are made. After all, they are human.


Of course.  That is why I was making a suggestion, nothing that needs to be done of course, as I think that this may cost money, and then we will all be mad at the people who suggested it..  I like your intentions as well.  They are nothing but good.  When the game finally comes back, I will have to find you and have you show me around the game a little as I will be a new commer.. :)  But hey, we all start somewhere.  I am a very fast learner, which programmer isn\'t.. ;)  But anyway, I can\'t wait to try this out.  I hope this game stays free forever. :) that would be awesome..  I can probably get everyone from Dell to start playing it. ;)

I agree as I am an old programmer, well web developer, but hey, I do some programming, as far as .NET and otehr things.  That is why I stated that.  This way we can have a server that has the latest updates and one that is running the old.  That way if the updates are messed up, then we can revert back to the other server and still play.  Kinda like a testing server, as that is how I have done it in the past and has seemed to be a better alternative.  I am not dogging on anyone if that is the sense that you got from my post.  I know how difficult it is to build a game and will more than likely never do it myself.  Takes to much time and effort.  I love what they have done so far and I think they are gods for what they have as far as what they can do.  I appreciate everything they do as they have put hope into Role Playing Games.  Especially keeping everything free.  I LOVE it!!.. :)  My intensions are not all that bad, just something that they may implement sooner or later. :)

EDIT: I was thinking on a test server so that they could work out all of the bugs and then pull the update to the regular server..  That is what I was meaning..

This is true.  There will be problems until they finally release it as a beta, I believe or get another server to run with the latest and greatest and another to run as a backup incase the latest and greatest goes down.  :)

Here is an update message from the server administrators.

2005.02.03 Updater Upsets
 

As you may be aware we are experience some problems with our updater. We are working as hard as we can to get it fixed so please be patient while we work though it. Thanks!


So therefore, we will just have to wait till they get all of the bugs worked out of the latest version. :)

This of course may not work in linux or in the mac version, but the windows users may have some success. :)  I say good luck to you guys and I will sit and wait for results. :)  Or the issue fixed, so that we can play with the latest client. :)

EDIT: Hey Chaos, are you able to play the game at all.. Or is anyone able to play the game at all??  Just curious, as I probably already know the answer to that question.

This is a problem with all versions.  I tried the linux, mac, and windows version and they are all doing the same thing.  Supposedly, they came out with the update for the client and have not updated the server to meet its specs.  When you update in either of them it will kill the psclient files and will delete them in linux, and the mac version won\'t update at all, from what I saw.  Just a side note.  I am happily waiting for this to come back so that I can start playing.  I have 20 friends I work with that are going to start playing when this issue is fixed. :)

So where do we get the cvs version again??  Also, what about the windows version.  It also does the same thing and when you update it, it downgrades the updater and hoses the game.  Just curious.  I tried it on both machines.

EDIT: Nevermind.  I forgot, that you can get it from the server.  This is a direct quote from the server administrators.
