Update coming.

[LARAGORN]

All torrent discussion is now to be posted here

[Mordaan]

Does anyone know if the new version will be posted on all or most torrent sites not just bittorrent

Torrent sites?  The tracker used with be on laanx.fragnetics.com.  The .torrent file will be available here.  Just download the .torrent file and open it in any bit torrent client.  utorrent is probably the best.

[ThomPhoenix]

What's the point on using multiple trackers? It just slows things down.
Bittorrent doesn't need "mirrors", that's the great thing about it.

i have a question that i have not seen yet for those of you "old timers" who have weathered the shifting sands of new client downloads.  when this happens will the characters be "wiped"?  i saw hints that we might not appear where we left off.  does this mean we will all start over? or does the database retain the character stats?

I do believe eventually there will be one major wipe ... meaning everything goes. Stats, skills, weapons, trias, experiance, etc. 

[Myrthe]

then my logic is reversed on the klyros. but it would still be good to get farmiliar with the race that you plan to use after the wipe.

[peeg]

No wipe directly with the update.

<.<

But there might be one at any time  One day you will login and you will have been deleted :D:D:D

*more evil laughter and evil stuffs*

So, no wipe yet.

Thank you Devs for putting up with some of the crap we give you.  I do look forward to any additional ifno you put here. 

As well I am not recieveing email notifications to the replies (I know that was a side note)

Is there a way we could get a daily update every 24 hours or so?

Question: Are all the clients (Win32, Linux32, Linux64, Mac) coming out at the same time? ...personally I'm concerned about the 64-bit Linux client.

Answer about more info: It's one of the features in PlaneShift's development - until the update comes out there's little news about it  ...if you're REALLY interested what all's coming in, read the SVN changelogs. You grow to like that "feature" as well ...it's like the devs giving you a present and not tell you what it is, until you unpack it - the (positive) surprise and anxious anticipation are part of it all

[Myrthe]

Just to give some insight about how things normally progress here's the normal steps we go though.

1) Main server is stopped.
2) All componet source code is updated ( cvs/svn )
3) A full rebuild is started of all components
4) Database updated from an upgrade schema ( thank god for that, since database changes are a total pain )
5) A test client is packaged including new artwork/levels/sounds/whatever
6) New data is loaded into database for new items, equipment, quests, etc.
7) We test on the new server to figure out any obvious issues
8 ) An 'official' client is packaged
9) Data is placed in the updater system
10) Server restarted and released to the playing public.


Right now we are at around stage 5/6

this was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in page 14 but i am guesssing we are past or on step 7 seeing as 1 person has been seen in the server frequesntly and it now has stopped. i assume steps 8 and 9 can be done within a few hours. does this mean that it will be done rather soon(next 12 hours?)

[Karyuu]

Testing the server also requires making the fixes for found bugs, and these don't have to be done with a person -on- the sever As acraig mentioned a while back, we were/are having an issue with portals that needs to be addressed, and there is some work with the camera that dfryer is trying to tackle. We're not done yet.
