News on next update

[Pip]

How come it is still possible to register a new account when they are all going to be wiped anyway?

I think perhaps it would be a good idea to post a message on the site and cancel account creation until the wipe is complete and the update ready to go.

Well devs are probably had other things on their mind, and didn\'t think of this. They probably thought, ah it will take only few hours...

is the wipe going to delete our accounts?

The curent characters are incompatible with the new progression system so this is one more reason for them to be deleted entirely.

PS. Read the player\'s guide before creating your new account because it will really help

Ya know... I have no idea...    The MB to CB import actually had a physical move from one server to another, and migrants brought their characters over, manually.  Unless they kept a backup of the MB database...  um...  good question...

This have been covered in this thread before but here it goes again:
Before the Chrystal Blue release there was the Molecular Blue release.
The migration from MB to CB alowed the players to keep they\'re money. The same migration step will alow characters from MB to start with money.

Yes, the point is, they\'d need to have the old db lying around somewhere.

If the current characters are incompatible, how come the old MB characters can still be \"migrated\"?

Just the names and the tria they get are stored for migration.  You get your money when you register your new account with your old name.

I guess it is only an inventory migration, that was the answer i got from a GM when asking this question.

By the sound of it het propably do have it lying around there somewhere in the backseat.

And i also do hope they keep the migration process open for a longer time than a week this time around.

Well last time it was only an account migration. Only the character name was tansferred.
And a conciderable amount of tria\'s and \"the ring of the past \" (or whatever they called it)

[pigottsm]

so we will only be able to get tria if we had some from mb?

[Pip]

Thanks for clearing that up guys.

Now I understand.

I wish us poor CB account holders could migrate too:)

During the good MB old time, people used to hunt crystals.
Then when CB came, Crystals were transformed into trias and \"ring of the past\".

The migration will certainly be the same kind of migration.

well i think its quite wrong myself, allowing people to transfer tria from a game that nobody can play anymore (giving them an advantage) in the game ,since mb was shut down before 2005. a migration of characters sure (but tria?) that just seems a little  wrong for everyone else who was not able to play in 04.
 Was the same migration done for Atomic Blue to Molecular Blue?
but anyways i just think its wrong to give them tria .items they can not sell wouldn\'t be so bad.
Ofcourse i doubt any character who played on the mb server would be happy. but its fair isn\'t it? After all i have seen potions,rings and swords migrated along with tria, why can they just (migrate) the account with nothing in it? Us non mb players who have been playing for months may feel cheated or left out
