End of Summer Update

[cRush]

Just take a look at the Trac Timeline (http://trac2.assembla.com/swgemu/timeline) and the speed at which we are committing changes to the OR codebase. Things are moving forward quickly.

That being said, we aren't going to take time out to code non-essential hotfixes like putting a superficial limit on cities per planet. When we code it right and commit it to OR, it will make it to NOVA. Properly.

Good job, but leave out the blue frogs. They just ruin half your testing.

You know, this would be a definite game changer here. I ground architect one brick at a time. Using resources I gathered, making a brick at a time I thought I was gonna die when I made my first guild hall by hand on day 5. Eventually, I had four structure factories going 24/7 (three almost always making nothing more than bricks) but getting to that point was a huge grind.

No gungan head statues either.

Put everything out without blue frogs and you will immediately solve the problem with too many cities being placed.

Give us a day to throw a party, then just do it already. The sooner the better, you'll have lots of enthusiastic testers if you put the OR in now!

How long will the Blue Frogs be up? Blue Frogs ruin the fun. I understand we have to start out with them but just curious how long the will be up for.

Blue Frogs will be used for us to focus testing, like avoiding the grind to BH so we can kill all the Jedi real quick Things are on the BF now just to be there with little focus, but that will change as we move along.


And to some others, we want tons of things like cities all over to stress the server so it is more stable.


We will do our best to communicate what we want tested and make that match with the Blue Frog. Most of the time we don't want people wasting days of grinding to test something when we need feedback quicker than that.

Wow... Great news! Thank you all.

I hope this actually went out after I got booted tonight because they are actually doing it. Be nice to start from jump with everyone, a new economy, and a sprint for prime lots for cities. Plus with buildings everyone may spread away from cnet and you might be able to find people on other planets.

It's been exciting watching trac for the last couple of months (guess many of the old TC code modules(?) did work in the OR with just a little gussying up?), and it's great to see a long list of developers pitching in again. Thank you so much, all of you.

These games have been a passion for me for over a decade now, and I now really do think I might get to play one great MMORPG again before the whole industry cannonballs into the cesspool of dumbed down mediocrity. Again, thanks.

Well with Crush saying permission lists are added to houses, i hope that OR is coming sooner then later. But i wont hold my breath or maybe i should lol.

[smakman]

Can't wait!

[CovertCabbage]

Kudos to the team for making such good progress.

[HoseHead]

Thanks for the update.

Cant wait until the OR is up full time.

[Arsonist]

Awesome progress guys cant believe its gone this far since i first checked out the emu.

So from what I've read, the OR is due early in September. However the servers seem to be down tonight (Sunday, 8/22) is there something going on tonight that I missed?
