Game Stable?!?!?!

[Morieta]

Hi All,

First of all, we're glad to say that the game is back up and things are looking stable. We put the game back up in a paused state last night at 8pm GMT. Ticking resumed this morning at 11am GMT.

Over the last few days we've been fixing a problem which caused the server to grind to a complete halt. This wasn't because the server was overloaded, it was because of a software bug. The downtime was spent isolating this bug, coming up with a solution, implementing and testing that solution. Since last night the server has been busy, without showing any signs of coming to a halt.

Some of you have seen 504 timeout messages and the "Oops, something went wrong" page. We're well aware of this. There are bugs to be fixed, performance improvements to be made, and we have to deal with the scipters. So right now, we're moving onto these tasks.

The maintenance page will appear from time to time as you bring you new code updates. Typically, this will only last for 5 - 10 minutes.

Thanks,
Sean & Brian

We cannot attack, som, cb, and you call this STABLE?
Stop hunting the friggin non-existant scripters from your wet dreams and FIX THE GAME ALREADY!! It is NOT stable!

Do they even understand that we're only getting the oops page when we make an attack?

This is hilarious.

lol, time to play Dominion instead if it still exist!

[Morieta]

Are you kidding KuhaN? I don't think these idiots even know it is a game that you attack each other in!

"The maintenance page will appear from time to time as you bring you new code updates. Typically, this will only last for 5 - 10 minutes."

hmm

Yes I understand there is a bug with attacking. I'm working on it now. Stable means that the server is not coming to a halt as it was before.

and wtf does this mean Brian?

think there's about 2K players over at kamikazegames ...... not too sure haven't played since ORKFIA first came out.

It means you'll see the maintenance page now and again when we're updating the server with more code updates. Code updates that will improve performance and fix bugs.

I played Orkfia for some time but can't say it's even close to utopia (at least to what uto used to be).

No its not stable...

you have 0 clue on anything.

a halt? you realise clicking every little button in the game takes 1-3minutes instead of the max 1 sec it should take? that little diff is actually a complete halt as you need like 15 minutes per prov you look at as target you idiot.

[macsean]

So first the server is shut down when it ticks (5 minutes), and now we have the 5-10 minute maintenance thing too?

[feebee]

and this..
We are currently performing routine maintenance on the server.

Brian, you've got to admit so far you did nothing to improve the game except saved some ghettos from getting farmed oop because no one can attack :)
