Please Bring back the old code

[parmley86]

1. Ticking has changed significantly. At the top of each hour, the main game will be inaccessible while the whole game world is brought up to date with the new tick. During this period, you will be brought back to the lobby page, which gives accurate feedback on progress. This takes 2-5 minutes to complete currently.
By doing ticking in this way, instead of on-demand as kingdoms are accessed, we improve overall site performance considerably. Prior to this, the process of ticking all the kingdoms was competing for server time with thousands of frustrated players hitting F5 in their browsers, which in turn made the problem worse. Now, instead of suffering bad site performance for 10-20 minutes now there is just a few minutes of pure ticking, followed by good site performance.

2. A few provinces' data had become corrupted because there was an issue with training. To fix this in the short term, there is now a cap on how many individual batches of troops you can have in training at any one time. There's a similar new limit on the other schedules, e.g., learning and exploring.

This is stupid... Restart right now with the old code please. You guys made a complete mess of this!

[VT2]

Please do, and bring back Mehul while you're at it.

[Mad_Scottish]

Guys, these changes will only be temporary (I hope).

[Mansoor]

bring back the old code. run this as genesis. Shift when it is functioning again!

[coss]

just start new age under old code till you solve this beta as genesis because this is just a stupid teasing and brings lot of frustration

[Taron]

Depends what the intention is:
If it's to speed up the death of an already dying game, then it's going swimmingly thusfar.

Indeed, bring back the old code...
I've yet to see a deadline set that's been kept to by Omac.
The new code is a joke.
The solutions for problems with the new code are worse.
And with every attempt to force through the code and with each disappointment, surely the playerbase is going down the plughole, instance after instance.

I particularly like the fact that: Having had constant updates throughout the day, leading up to the time the game would come back online (a game of fanatics I might add). That they're surprised to get an influx of webtraffic. I do wonder how they'd have coped when the player base was what, 4 or 5 times as large?

I dont see the point of the new code they brought.... and it running like this, im seriously questioning if they know what their doing.

old code worked perfectly (compaired to this new one).
Also removeing something like som+som with new code, is just.... not cool, its been there forever in the old code, and it worked well, removeing something so simply will effect the intire damn game something im not sure you guys thought about before you redid it with the new code.

I had very high hopes for the new coded game you guys promised but... well thats gone down the drain.


PLEASE BRING BAC OLD CODE! AND JUST KEEP IT! you guys arnt up to redoing the intire game code apperntly so stop trying.

Reset asap & bring back the old code. Game is designed to attract players. Old code, old server are what the players want. New code is killing the game! Utopia is NOT a kiddie game! It is hardcore! People take Utopia seriously & are online to meet their obligations not solo players logging in when the whim hits them.

Agreed:

Dump this new crap on genesis (the test server and give us back the old code)

[JDcompy]

When players start talking about going somewhere else, it's time to listen to the players -- if it isn't too late already.

[KuhaN]

OP,

it's in the trash can.

[Nobody]

hey op, there really is not much that can be done at this point... as it is not actually up to them anymore, its up to the new owners.

[Kaunista]

Restart with old code, run genesis on new code til stable.

[TeeCee]

Stop whining please. I mean, how much harm is 1,2,3,4 or more weeks not playing doing? Besides that ur n00b kds are running empty that is ...

[Blitz]

Guys.. they can't get the old code runing either.. didn't you see what a mess it got in the end of age ? It would probably need the same time to make that old code run as this new one.
If they were able to keep the old code runing.. they would tried to get this one up.
