Bi-Weekly Update for 09/13/09 - End Of Summer Special

[Dybbuk Unknown]

Yup. Our group got straight up slaughtered out there on tat tonight... That was ridiculous.

What's the plan of attack, devs? A few tweaks to fix it, roll the server back and work on the patch more, wipe and hope it works right? I'm just curious as to how one would go about fixing this, as I have no idea myself.

[blatantlyobvious]

Created Fiekman and logged on in time to see "Connection Lost to Server"

Oh fate, how you torture me so!

You wont miss anything, server is getting wiped tomorrow and well cant really play a combat profession now.

[yellek]

If you stay on coronet its fine...i'm a medic...just need an ent to heal my mind wounds so i can actually use my med skills lol

[Dafole]

But i want to play in Tat

[Omegataco]

Yhea it will only piss you of and then a wipe comes tomorow anyways. I got 200 fatigue by fighting 3 worts lol and my wounds are so bad i cant play cause no medic and if i speced medic my self which i cant cause i have no credits so doign terms i must . BUT sence im in such a bad shape i cant and if id ie im stuck on cnet until wipe cause of no credits ^^

Did you not hear cRush say that medical centers have a passive wound heal for when medics aren't around?

[blatantlyobvious]

I plan on working on artisan first, so I would have been content going out and finding some resources.

Ah well.

[Dafole]

Did you not hear cRush say that medical centers have a passive wound heal for when medics aren't around?

Yes but if ya havnt seen it server keep crashing so it would take me around 3 hours or so to get rid of the wounds.

[Dudden86]

Stop *****ing already, please >.< It's a new patch, what did you expect? personally I'm really impressed at how playable it actually is, sure, dont die cause you will end up in the middle of nowhere on corellia, but thats a beta for you, dont expect a fully playable game.. Great work guys, keep it up

P.S. group missions are a priority for testing all you eager peoples.

[Xenomorph]

Wow what an update :) thanks so much emu staff ;)

[sonofdex]

I am so freaking amped, thank you staff!

[Amitrov_Derinth]

Whooo. finally back awake. :)
Looks like I missed the initial wave? Ah well, means everything wwill be running smooth once I'm unleashed upon the world. ;)

[YoniX]

is there any way that mission spawns can appear closer to their terminals? OR is there a way to start out with more credits for training?

pistol accuracy tends to be bugged, and when firing at some rills I have found that they will take quite a few shots before they actually engage in battle.

Yay I'm contributing to the community :)

Accuracy with novice professions was always terrible, and unless you hit at ideal range, you were more than about half likely to miss. Of course, I havn't seen it yet other than trying a purist pistoleer run before the update, so I don't know if it's bugged now... Bit about the rill's is funny though.

Life's always hard for the beginning adventurer. ;)

[YoniX]

yes I agree, but as I recall the miss rate wasnt THIS bad. Group missions need to be tested huh? anyone wanna volunteer to do some mission behind mos eisley?

As I recall if you hunted the crap out of that place some real baddies used to spawn.

:)

[Dafole]

So soon? you guys work hard :bow:

So how much Redbull and mountin dew have you guys consumed so far lol

Much better accuracy this time around, but I have found a bug with worrts. If you attack them they will not attack back and keep dropping combat. Just an FYI

[Joshino]

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/5937/ckc.gif

[Flylighter]

I found it entirely appropriate to applaud the coming return of the greatest game ever made, with an image from the greatest movie ever made.

[LdyCharmne]

As of this time, I am getting a "Login Server Unavailiable" message. Hrmmm.

[Lobreeze]

Server went back down, be patient!

If this was a Facebook status, I would "like" the hell out of it.

[Amitrov_Derinth]

What!? Creating a character, and somebody's already used the first name "Inger"

Somone's gonna die for that one... How else can I have Inger's Finger Foods!? :(

[Zeridian]

Gah, I finally got on and the server went down...

Anyways, anyone find it annoying that the creatures still regenerate instantly like in WoW? (if you stop attacking them)

[ArkonPhoenix]

Cant wait to get home tonight.

[gilfOG]

this update should have happened on friday, so we had all weekend to sit home and play : p

It was the Devs being nice, giving us one more weekend of freedom before we enslave ourselves to the glory of SWG, again.

[Rouge]

Lol, I've been waiting for my character to generate for about half an hour, how long does this take?!

[MarlonB]

Doubling the xp is nice ... but not doubling the dollars that drop means i can't buy skills :)

[YoniX]

/agree

[Keono]

yeah a little more credits would be very nice.

[blatantlyobvious]

This is exciting. Got on this morning before school for about 10 minutes.

Glad to see bugs are already being addressed.

Anyone know whether or not the wipe scheduled for tomorrow is still happening?

If so, will that likely take longer/shorter than it took for the update to come up?

[Tobel]

I haven't been on IRC since I'm at work/school but I read here that they (mods) on IRC were confirming the wipe -- as for time, I'm not sure about that.

[cRush]

The update has been up for awhile now. Log in - enjoy. *It will be wiped again tomorrow, but not again for some time after that.

[dizmull]

awesome update

[Lah Havox]

So question are the extractors working?

[Omegataco]

So question are the extractors working?

Generators and harvesters were added a while back and should be working.

[Ozas Darkdust]

Hah, I'd just like to point out how awesome it is that in one day this thread already has 37 pages of replies.

[Taspo]

People are coming out of the woodwork! :)

[shokurai]

just a tip for some of the newer guys , and i am far from an expert but if you get in a group with people that know skills you need, they can train you( like if you need unarmed II), so you can save money that way, so between that and the 1K plus rewards you get from mission rewards you should be ok, in the cash department, just don't pick a starting place that is out in the booney's where you cant get any help with teaching from other players

[Spectre33]

I gave up on doing missions when I ran out to my first mission objective and found it sitting 10m from a bunch of juvenile canyon krayt dragons. Luckily I had burst ready and was able to get away before they ate my face.

[Raxxus]

I hope create a lot of extractors, i hope that extractors work

[Omegataco]

Reminds me of a way I used to kill krayts back in the old days, I would get one on me and kite him into a bunch of creature lairs. :lightsaber:

[-Devil-]

okay to make sure i understand ... the patch has been applied but there is still going to be a database wipe sometime today / tomorrow? or has that happened already ...

just wanting to clarify before i put to much time in a char other then re-learning the controls hah!

[blatantlyobvious]

Sounds like there will be a wipe tomorrow.

Anyone else come across a problem with the game constantly freezing up?

I've been wrestling with it for the past two hours. Am freezing up within 5 mins of starting up the game (most of the time I actually load into the game frozen).

[blatantlyobvious]

Not sure anyone else did, but I just had a 4 hour website/server downtime.

[ShardFalcors]

Yeah. I did too.

[MelloOU]

Same. Wonder what they were doing...

[Phase]

The Chicago server got hit with a DoS attack, and the Login server (and website) was down.

[gustcloak runner]

I am having a problem at the login screen...says either i am miss typing my password or that another account is still on any help with this issue would be awsome

[Omegataco]

Login server may still be down.

[gustcloak runner]

so yall are not able to play either right now?

[Omegataco]

Nope. I'm not able to anyway.

[gustcloak runner]

okay at first i thought i had two accounts running but then i new i wasnt miss typing my password...so is this another wipe,,,cause if it is i didnt really get very far with my character lol...i thought i was the only one not being able to play or look on the forums....i couldnt load the forums or play it was very frustrating

[blatantlyobvious]

I wouldn't mind if this is the wipe they've been warning about.

Means I can progress a bit tomorrow.

[gustcloak runner]

could someone give me an update on why we cant play and why we havent been able to get on the web page?

[gustcloak runner]

IM pretty confused...are people able to play or....are we all just waiting again

[blatantlyobvious]

While nobody really knows, I'm thinking this may be the wipe they warned us of.

Either way, I'm going to get into bed and hope everything is better in the morning.

[Lobreeze]

IM pretty confused...are people able to play or....are we all just waiting again

Relax man, it's pretty obvious everyone is having the same problem.

[gustcloak runner]

lol my bad

[Neab]

sounds like a good idea

[YoniX]

I am totally psyched for when the servers come back up. Hopefully the wipe will be over and done with, great fine. What is this about re-wiping some time in the future? Are we talking weeks? months? I would like to know more about the wiping policy.

I play paintball and wiping is a very bad thing, here it can be good or bad.

[Spectre33]

The update has been up for awhile now. Log in - enjoy. *It will be wiped again tomorrow, but not again for some time after that.

Does this update include placing the high level mob spawns a bit further away from the starting areas? :?

[Vasov]

Nooo People stopped posting.. I was having fun reading for once... xD

On another game related note..

Anyone know if the BackPack fix was in this patch?
And why vehicles won't be implimented for awhile?

[Lobreeze]

It is a Test Centre. Wipes happen.

[YoniX]

okay, well for the sake of creating more content... I would like to know about this prohibition on vehicles please. I have seen youtube vids of people riding around on vehicles on this server, but for some reason, they are now not allowed. Why is this? can we get an "official" explanation on this please?

[Spectre33]

From the very first page of this thread... "Also, vehicles will be disabled after this patch. Not only is that more realistic to the SWG beta, it is also to prevent a serious crash in one of the other features caused by vehicles. Sorry for the inconvenience."

[Lobreeze]

Read the very first post.

[BooBoo123]

no vehicles is great! it's gonna be like old school swg! where you have to run everywhere wooooo!!

There is an "official" explanation at the beginning of this thread...

[YoniX]

Well, like I said, it was done in an attempt to create more content. Lets face it, for every poster that is out there there are a few people who just like to read. :)

[Lobreeze]

Is there any word on the wipe?

[Vasov]

I haven't have this much fun reading since I was active on the regular SWG Tarquinas forums...But that has been ATLEAST ~3ish years ago..


Oh maybe i missed this while reading, but is there a reason the servers are down right now?
And I don't want the obvious "testing" answer...I would like a better explination ;)

[YoniX]

Ooh, okay, I got a good one. Who here was in SWG during beta?
During Launch?
When the First Jedi killed that stupid Durni on correlia? (well he wasnt a jedi then, that was the trigger that unlocked his FS slot)
Who was there for the hologrind?
And finally when Aurilia went live on Dathomir?

[-Devil-]

i was there from pre pub 9 ... till about a year at least after the NGE hit ... even came back for a bit afterwards ... but haven't logged into it in well over a year ...

[gustcloak runner]

Yah i second the idea of having more informaton on the wipe and were it stands....
i like no vehicals...think what it will be like when they are released...lol...maybe eveyone will just wanna keep walking because they are used to it.

[KrytenAVFC]

O la la, mad props guys..

[YoniX]

I was in SWG since Beta (I still have the beta discs around somewhere :) )
What I would like to know is, who is going to build the town close to the krayt graveyard? I would not mind living there.

Okay, now for a tough question cuz the post on the first page has me wondering, Will there be Jedi? That whole thing about "do you feel it" I am guessing that that is the force?

If I have made a faux pa by mentioning Jedi I apologize.

[Spectre33]

I remember spending hours exploring each planet on foot when I originally played pre-cu. It was fun, especially when you would stumble across a cool unknown area/feature. Vehicles take that sense of adventure and exploration away from the game.

I agree vehicles did take away that aspect of it, I loved the big groups forming just to get to jabbas palace or something on foot or the the krayt graveyard fun fun!:D mounts were just fine tho...

[Labyrinth]

Is there any word on the wipe?
I heard it was going to be "tomorrow-ish." Don't think there's anything more to it than that at this point, as far as announcements go.

[gustcloak runner]

heard from who?

[axeman47]

Excellent work, team. Very exciting stuff. :D

[Zarniwoop]

I just want to say that I have never been more impressed with a development team, in or out of the "official" industry.

I so wish I could be part of this team.

[Labyrinth]

heard from who?
Dame, but I didn't want to hold her accountable.

[Guryon]

Wow. I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st and this wasn't a cruel joke.

And then I jumped on TC and was more gleeful to be playing a computer game than I have been in years. YEARS I TELL YOU!!!

It really felt like it did back when I first logged in. There was a bunch of players talking to each other, teaching languages... I went to the trainers and learnt all the novice skills, then picked up a mission. Ran out of town and there were creature lairs everywhere. It was a dream come true, honestly. Then it crashed on me, and I dont know if it was the client or the server but honestly I didn't really care. I was given a taste of something that I never ever thought I'd get to enjoy again.

I love you guys... :)

[Spade13]

Hmmm i could login and my chars gone-Is the wipe allready done ?
Anyone of you knows something pls ? :)

[Newsound]

this is SWEEEEEET!!!!

[marauder144]

They wiped?! YES!

TBH, I wasn't expecting this wipe until this afternoon EST. A pleasant surprise. I loves you devs. ;)

[ANewHope]

Fresh and clean server.

[blatantlyobvious]

w00t.

[blatantlyobvious]

edit: fate has once again played a cruel joke as the server is down once again.

I hope it comes up before school!

[corbaer]

No need to post every time it goes up and down... IRC serves that function much better.

Expect it to go up and down a lot the next few days, you won't be disappointed that way, and might find yourself pleasantly surprised.

That is life on an alpha test server after a major code commit.

[blatantlyobvious]

It's probably true that IRC is a much better way of getting information and whatnot, but I kind of like the community interaction of everyone getting excited as the server goes up and anticipating its return when the server is down.

[cRush]

The wipe has taken place. We will do our absolute best to avoid anymore wipes until the implementation of OR onto Nova (there is no ETA for this, so don't ask).

[blatantlyobvious]

Glad to hear the wipe has come and passed, but I'm sad to say that I'm unable to log into Nova.

Every time I attempt to connect, my computer crashes.

[badfish]

Awesome update! The game is finally looking like a more complete game, great work :)

[Spade13]

Well the servers offline again-BUT , and i think thats the main thing, Games is working very good.For sure it need some advantage here and there , but the "overall quality" is absolutly stunning.
And , thats another advantage , the server "online" periods are getting longer and longer.Remember yesterday , we had like 1 hour playing->Offline.
Today i had more than 4 hours to enjoy the Fruits of the hard work of the Devs.
SO-Every Day there is more and more advantage to see , and for this , the Server crashes are a very very small price to "pay".Specialy for us^^

To the Devs: I cant thank you enough dudes, you finaly made it , to reactivate Pre-Cu SWG and much of the Community.You ve done A GOD DAM GOOD JOB!
Thank you very much ^^

[Spade13]

Lol :D Server went up during i wrote this post :D :D :D
I dont want to see a" When comes Server up " post in this forum ;)

Have fun dudes , enjoi^^

[Spade13]

Allright Servers on but cant conect-i guess there is another DOS Attack ?

[Lobreeze]

Spade, stop asking. You dont need to triple post either there is an edit function.

[Zeridian]

Yeah, well he is right. I am still getting the bad password thing. Server says its up, and forums are obviously working...are they attacking the login now?

[Craigybbz]

will there be any updates between now and when you put the OR in? :)

[Lobreeze]

OR?

(May have heard of it, just know it as something else...or not know it at all) ;)

Object Restructuring

[Vasov]

Such as?

[marauder144]

It's the simplification of the code to allow up-and-coming Devs to contribute to the project. The name mislead me too when I first came here. I thought they were talking about buildings and harvesters. ;)

[Ekaika]

Yeah, well he is right. I am still getting the bad password thing. Server says its up, and forums are obviously working...are they attacking the login now?

http://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29808

The bad password issue is related to the login server being down. The login server and Test Center are on different boxes.

[Spade13]

Erm i where working , just got home now-i cant login to the server but forum say its up-Anyone knows whats the prob? As i said i was working so i dont realy have a clue what was going on the last hours.;) thanks for answering :D

[Nordrem]

I'm on but stuck on character creation :/

[Craigybbz]

yeah this update is huge but i was just wondering if we maybe had another big update in between now and the OR if it was around 2-3 months away :)

[Ekaika]

There are 3 possibilities when considering TC status:

1) Up - All indications report Test Center "Up" and you can log in properly.

2) Down - LPE hangs on "Connecting to Galaxy" indefinitely. Indicators show "Down"

3) Deadlocked - Indicators report Test Center "Up", however LPE responds like server down.

Deadlock, again, means that two processes are awaiting one another to finish. Simply put, it's a bug. As you faithful Emu'ers log in and start playing with the new patch, you expose new bugs, some of these deadlock the server. Our guys bring it down, check the logs, and attempt to fix it (unless they have class, a boss yelling at them, or screaming kids to tend to).

So, in this case, it's probably deadlocked. Chances are it will change again in minutes, and continue to do this through the next few days. No need to keep posting asking the question.

[Zeridian]

Yeah, Nvm me. I was still under the impression that whoever was responsible for the DOS attack tried again for the server. Now I know betta :).

You know, must be a crap load of bugs cause the server isn't up for more than 15 minutes at a time really...its nuts. I noticed after one restart that random spawns were less focused around main cities and there are now faction oriented random spawns. Any chance faction missions might make their way in later?

[Master Chief]

Our guys bring it down, check the logs, and attempt to fix it (unless they have class, a boss yelling at them, or screaming kids to tend to).



In short, the three main priorities are school, work, and family. Only those three cases override the priviledge of being here, working daily. Needless to say, the STAFF are constantly subject to potential setbacks, delaying things more than what you might count on. These people have lives.
Also since the server is undergoing such a fluxuation, half of my logic says it's not a good idea for everyone to mass-login, but the other half says that the more people that try, the more pressure the server has, and thus the more efficiently the STAFF can fortify the server.

No more wipe we guess, but who knows, if more wipes means walking in the right direction to a stable and functional server then why not, let's wipe the database every week!

Wipes are always possible in development, no way to predict that. However, once SC goes live we will make every attempt to not wipe the server. We're anticipating at 1.0 launch, we will be past the part that necessitates it.

As far as a transfer from Nova to SC, that will not happen. We will all be starting fresh, just like day1 in '03. =)

It is not in. It will probably be fixed/finish some time after the Object Restructure, which is the next big push the devs are working on now.

Don't forget merchant or politician as well. Of course those won't be of any use until player cities and vendors are in.

Aw so its going to be awhile... Darn and I was so looking forward to testing that... Oh well I suppose I can work on other jobs and just leave that open... Thanks for the quick reply!

[Master Chief]

Don't worry about it. They had a new patch with lots of content, but for some reason instantly after implementing it, the server is now acting goofy. I have heard no report of the problem being corrected so far, so stand fast!

Yeah, it'll be some time, but don't worry. There has been amazing progress already, considering that school is back in session for what I'd guess is the majority of the STAFF team.

[Raxxus]

I hope that this problem was fixed any day.
I like the news improvements implanted in this Update.

[Dakkus]

Sorry I have not been posting on this forum much lately. This is nice to see an update of this size. Congrats to the new QA members. Somehow my wife and 3 kids all ended up taking Chinese this semester so two nights a week I am home alone. I might use that time for testing on Nova TC.

Our community college upgraded to a State College so all of a sudden my kids and wife are now in a better college and it cost me nothing. I on the other hand get a free upgrade in the SWGEmu so our family is doing quite well :-)

To anyone who has not done so, please look in the links on the left and click BUG REPORTS under the support section of the links. Register there so you can report bugs. If you see someone has reported it, you can add comments to thier report. If you are loosing interest in playing on TC, getting involved with the bugs can add purpose to your gaming experience. Some people find bugs and never report on them or add to the existing reports the Devs have to go on.

Here is a tip that I do sometimes. I read the bugs on that forum and see what the staff ask to be rechecked. Sometimes a bug is only reported where it was found and they need it to be reproduced in other locaitons or planets. We have the ability to narrow down a problem for them so they can soemtimes get right to fixing the code. This gets bugs fixed faster because we do the repetitive dirty work for the code worriors. So even if you don't find bugs, you can go read the bug forum and follow up on a bug report assisting the team request for extensive testing. You can make a difference for a Dev. hows that make you feel to know that?

Welcome Home :)

Now about the update... thank you Devs, thank you.

Time for me to reload the testing build and start harvesting/crafting. I am no PvPer, nor am I any good at high level hunting, but I can get busy making items for the Players who are, time for me to get busy crafting itmes needed by Players who do enjoy combat.

... and it's time to start making droids (or at least the some of the components), I want to help SWGEmu get Droids working right this time.

I understand that Harvesters are not ingame, if I remember right they were pulled in June due to issues and were to be reimplemented after object restructure, so I will be surveying my tail off for now. At least I will get my survey skills built up ;) I will do the best I can at crafting, but I am not a combatant, which is to say I hate combat and avoid it at almost all costs, so my ability to harvest resources will be slow, but I will do the best I can until Harvesters are back.

[Novadog]

Excellent work guys, truly excellent.

[yellek]

Are you going to eat that?

Thrillingly, Magseal and other containers are now working and able to be sliced! Get to it smugglers!



--Team SWGEmu

Are the locked containers that drop from mobs ingame? I havn't seen any at all, and so far the only way to get the first slicing box is by grinding off of mag seal containers in caves which can be a bit troublesome sometimes.

[Tsunami]

I knew everyone was working hard behind the curtains! I'm excited to see how much closer we're nearing to a playable server. Of course, I'm sure everyone else here is too. Way to go folks!

[corbaer]

They do drop off mobs, but I haven't gotten any yet.

How are you slicing the magseals... they don't give me a slice option in the radial.

You don`t need the containers. I could slice terminals, without having slicing 1. Or did they fix this ?

I didn't bother trying that because I assumed that I couldn't. Thanks Aipeg!

Dang, I should have tried that lol. But sometimes the magseals are locked and sometimes they aren't it takes 30 mins for them to reset again I think

[corbaer]

The mission terminals don't give me the option... so I guess it was fixed.

[Aipeg]

The mission terminals don't give me the option... so I guess it was fixed.

Nope it wasn`t fixed, it works. Just target the terminal and then use directly a percision laser knife. I now know its a bug... didn`t know that, because I never played a smuggler in live.

[Valoram]

HOLY CRAP!!!!
First time I've been on the site in a few months and what a present to greet me! Yeah Devs, you all ROCK!!!!!

[SanaF1]

Guys, 1. You know that there with transport, it will be included?!
2. It has been written that all profession will work normally and why profession Commando it is left unfinished?! Namely it is impossible to use weapon Heavy Particle Beam Cannon, Lightning Beam Canno, Rocket Launcher and other...

[Darkhonor90]

This update has given me all the reason to start playing again!
Can't wait to get paid and play again!

Thanks SWGEmu

[Viss]

It's been a long time since I last posted in these forums. I just checked in from time to time to see the progress you guys made and I have to say I'm realy impressed. I've been following this project nearly from it's beginning (old black forums) and I am amazed by the playability your code has reached. I joined Nova this weekend to do some grinding and trying stuff and it's nearly like back in the days when swg hit live, except the fact that I know alot more about mmos today then back then.

BIG thank you to the devs, the community and everybody else involved in bringing back swg to us !

[washproof]

your doing a grand job fellas :)

[faceman7381]

Are the updates Bi-weekly again or as they come?

I have been asked this a bunch by people, so I thought I would post it here to see if Max or any of the others could post for the community.

[Drexx]

Awesome job guys... keep up the good work! it's starting to to feel just the old days. :D

Bi-weekly updates are still on hold. The OR is still in development, but making progress. We'll definitely let everyone know when we start the Bi-weekly updates again. Until then, we ask that everyone continue to be patient. Have fun and play on TC :)

[faceman7381]

Thank you guys!

I will foward this answer onto anyone who asks me :)

Thanks again for all your hard work!

[Ramius_Antillies]

Great job, guys. I personally am very appreciative of the hard work you guys are doing. Keep it up! :-)

[MikeCool]

The only one thing im worried about is the final TC wipe before version 1.0 comes out because i all ready started working on my TKA profession again and want to test it for only myself. I think i all ready know that Jedi is implemented and the unlock system for it and technically i do not know how that works atm. Does anybody know when that will come? Im just wondering because i dont want to be too late like it will be the last minute of this long road project. Thanks.

[Bandar]

i wouldnt worry to much about it, just dont go in expecting to keep it

[omg_user]

In the adjective and adverb senses, the prefix bi- applies to the week rather than to the events that occur, therefore giving the sense of “every two weeks”. Since the term is also used in the UK to mean “twice a week”, it is ambiguous there. For the sake of clarity, it is advisable to use one of the synonyms instead.

"Fortnightly Updates" would fix the ambiguity. Every time I see this section I think "twice a week." Hell, even semimonthly would be better.

[DrFeelgood]

Holy smokes! I had been reading the trac still, and I thought SWGEmu had basically died! This is awesome news! <3 <3 <3

[Wighar]

Great News ^_^

[disorder]

/orgasm

[LumioSoleth]

You guys are really awsome, I remember getting in on SWGEmu when it first started by some friends who quit by the time NGE hit, and I thought for sure this project was dead. I was really thrilled to see it was still up and running after all these years. Can't wait to see if i find old Bria friends online!!

Keep up the awsome work!

[Raghy]

thanks, been waiting a while for this!

[trasixes]

I remember waiting around for news for months on end... then the day came that encryption was broken. This project gains more steam every day, and that's an awesome thing.

[david665]

This is hands down, the best update post EVER. All the stuff that was included makes it sound like a live game is in the offing. I got super stoked reading it and made me sad I'm 1500 miles from my disks or I'd have it on my laptop as we speak.

I've got a super sweet spot for my retreat picked out, if I'm allowed to set a house there and no one has stolen it by the time I get there.

I'm getting amped up to get it on, Imp style......

[pgsparky]

Best update ever will be housing!!!11111111!11!ONE!1!1ELEVEN

[DarthTios]

No housing in whis update:)

[Omegataco]

Housing after OR is finished hopefully. :) Which all the speedhackers and exploiters have slowed the progress of.

Housing is finished?Hmm...

How long do u think SC will be around for? When is the emu goin to be live?

Read the FAQ.

[Varolokkur]

Read the FAQ.

the FAQ doesn't really say how long SC will be around for until the finished game comes out. :(.i bet alot of ppl are wondering that.alot of ppl will play SC like its here to stay but it will be wiped when the real game is released :(

[Vlada]

SunCrusher will be the real game, TC or NOVA is a test center and will remain a test server even when SC is launched.

As for wipes of TC/NOVA, next one is expected as soon as OR is finished. So maybe in a month or two, maybe more, maybe next year, but it will be wiped, over and over again whenever a major update is to be implemented. Dont get to attached to your toons, because one thing is for sure, while we are on TC/NOVA wi will be wiped at some point.

SunCrusher is a completely different story, that will be a live game and no or very, very few wipes will happen, (once in a blue moon).

Official Server Plans

We have been bombarded with this question as long as the project has existed. "Is SWGEmu going to host an official server?" We have always deflected this question with non-committal responses. Today we make the official announcement that SWGEmu WILL be hosting a server called "Sun Crusher". Sun Crusher will start out as the "Playable Test Center" and when the official release is ready, then it will be wiped and become the SWGEmu LIVE Server.

SC is starting out as a TC but it WILL be wiped.SO yeah sorry to say it but ur wrong.MY question was how long will SC be around for b4 the wipe? and when will the official Game be released?i guess i should have been more clear on that.

Asking ETAs are against the forum rules and guidelines, you will always be answered with http://i696.photobucket.com/albums/vv326/Yhor_emotes/thwhenitsdone.gif, or a troll equipped with a flamethrower (I prefer to not see open flames, but sadly I can sometimes sympathize with trolls who use them)

you have a misconseption about SC(SunCrusher), and the difference between TC:Nova. they are two whole heartedly different servers, TC:Nova is the Test Center, SunCrusher IS the final Release Server or the Release Client Server that the SWGEMU staff has dictated as their official private server.
