Update (4th Sep 2010)
I'm going to work on getting the website up and running and just do the best I can with my limited knowledge of html. Then we'll launch the shard.
If you begin building a character from nothing now, you can keep the changes once we launch.
Update (27th Aug 2010)
We've been up for 2 days straight now and all is running smoothly still. Not many of you have been logging in, but I hope you keep the faith and stick it out. What we're doing now will be a tiny fraction of the time the shard will be up and running, so any help you can give by logging on and playing around is useful.
Update (25th Aug 2010)
Shard's been up again for about 4 days and not crashed, so it's gotta be something to do with players using the scripts.
What I'm going to have to do is get you guys playing on the shard again, on the copy of July's scripts, and introduce script changes gradually, to see what crashes us.
You'll all be able to log on using your old user/pass now. Wait for an Admin in-game and we'll boost you up if you want.
Update (22nd Aug 2010)
I restarted the shard today after it had been up for 3 or 4 days, I can't remember exactly. It booted up fine afterwards, although there were no players logged on during the last few days except for me, so it may be an issue with a script or something.
I'm now re-compiling the newer scripts and will leave them up for a few days too, until atleast Wednesday. On Wednesday evening I'll restart and we'll see whether it was just an issue with time, or a particular script, that's screwing stuff up.
Update (19th Aug 2010)
I've transferred across a backup of the Factions scripts from July. I'm going to leave it up for a few days and see if it ends up behaving like the scripts did when they crashed for us.
For now I'll leave it without anyone but me logging in, just to test it. At a later point I may do the same thing with the more recent script set.
Everything needs to be tested now, we can't have a shard that needs restarting once a day.
(In the meantime, download the new Required Files and checkout the sexy new log-in screen I created)
Thanks for sticking with this guys. We *will* get it to work eventually.
