Will there even be a genesis?
Lol
wol is too much for u?
will there be a utopia again? because this is more like chaos or hell than utopia.
if they have to open up gen in any form of what we are experiencing now, than **** i hope there isnt any gen
you wont see gen until wol works properly
Why didn't they make it the other way around?
It should've been, 'you won't see wol until gen works properly'.
If they just asked for our opinions before making key decisions, it would really save their own asses.
they did :s people wanted wol
LOL Bishop, really, they did?
Hahah, good one, I'm really laughing my ass off right now.
go look back through UT and you'll find it

Hi All,
The attacks against Utopia over the last ten days or so have left us with no option but to permanently retire the old code. Genesis has already ended and WoL ends at midnight BST tomorrow (Wednesday).
This turn of events has forced us to change our plans for the roll-out of the new code. In this blog post we want to clearly specify the new plans so we all know what’s happening next.
1) WoL will restart next week on the new code. We will import all Accounts, Credits and Kingdoms into the new code. When WoL freeze period starts on the new code all transferred accounts will have the option of re-joining their kingdoms from the previous age. WoL freeze period will start next week (targeting Wednesday 21st) and WoL will end 12 weeks later (middle of January). Freeze period, protection and tick time will all be normal lengths.
2) The new age of WoL will be primarily based off age 42 as per here. Undeads will NOT be there. However, we propose re-introducing Avians for this age. Adding a race is quite self-contained and can be done relatively quickly. As a starting point for a discussion on what mod values Avians should have please see this thread.
3) Bug reporting will be done via the forums. The current bug forum section will be cleared (existing threads will be archived). We’re already receiving more bug reports every day than we can handle, so we need to change the system. Bug reporting instructions and etiquette will be posted in a sticky in the Bug Reports forum.
4) Genesis will not restart for the time being. The original plan was to start with Genesis on the new code, but due to these attacks we’ve had to take down WoL. WoL is the lifeblood of Utopia and must remain available. We are left with no viable choice but to run WoL on the new code first.
The new code will remain in beta. While this is nothing more than a label, it is an indication that some aspects are still a work-in-progress. We will continue fixing bugs while WoL is running, but we will be deploying those fixes less frequently and will give advanced notice of any significant scheduled downtime.
Thanks,
Brian
Who made the choice? Were we asked anything?Quote:

Cheers,
I'm pretty sure there was something in UT about it - but ill be buggered if I'm trawling through pages of threads to find it. Also, i could be wrong :D perhaps someone with a better memory than me can confirm but I'm pretty sure there were several posts about the fact that if we were left with just gen people would quit asap.
Yes there was, but if you really think you call that 'asking for our opinions', then you are very wrong imo.
The old code could have been kept running, seems that it was running faster and more reliably than the new code. Restarting Genesis and keeping the old code running would have been a sensible decision, if the alternative was risking the launch of largely untested code (on a large scale, which Genesis could have been used for).
I have to agree with Catwalk, WOL should have stayed with the old code, seemed to be working properly...
and Gen would have been another good round for testing...
how the hell did it "seem to be working properly"?? we had aid that disappeared, provinces being able to hit others 50 times in one hour, thief op runs that consisted of 100 ops. It was by no means "working properly"
its amazing how quickly people forget. rose tinted glasses are indeed ftw it seems.
by properly he means better than it is right now.
the game lags like hell, but at least its the same for everyone.
The reason they stated for taking the old code down was "to focus our efforts on the new code" = we can't really be bothered to keep the game running, we'd rather just be done with it once and for all. I played the last week, it wasn't horrible.
Bishop, those were very minor problems. The problems we are having right now are HUGEEEEE in comparison to any bugs we had before.
Here's another idea: Set an official end date for chart purposes and keep the game running after that. I think people would have preferred that over launching improperly tested code on the main game.
This forum isn't the proper means to ask people's opinion. It's inhabited by people who are disliked by the rest of uto.
Magma, I don't think anyone is capable of determining who's disliked by the whole community.
how is everyone on the same page? explorers got a full day of oop, the lag sucks so much that hardly anyone can look for targets. the current way the game is running, it favors non-attackers.
