April Testing!

[erikbreau]

Server is up for testing.
Europa II: the Dark Age can be found in the Tech-Support section.


Currently, there are only quests in Hellenath. These include:

• delivery quests.
  
• material fetch.
  
• find an NPC.
  
• kill/hunts.
  
• discovery.
  
• mystery.
  

I have also added some spawns in the surrounding areas of levels 1-4 and 5-8. They are set to respawn every 300 secs (5 mins). Let me know if that is enough.

I am also VERY interested in the traffic factor. We have limited bandwidth (120gb with Rogers) and I am wondering what kind of usage player testing will generate.

Bad news everyone.

Last night at 10:17PM, the Europa server desktop stopped functioning. I am in the process of trying to figure out why, but until then, we have no SQL database. I would need someones expertise to get it set up again. I doubt Brian Meyer has the time, or inclination, to help out on this issue.

IF you know anyone who can take an hour or so on Skype to help out, then that would be great. Until then, the server will be running on the backup computer (ironically, it's twice as powerful at 16GB RAM, lol) but it will have no persistent journals, dates or PC location.

Also: I am hoping that next month, in May, I will be hosting the first of Europa II's DM led story plot games... yes, that's right, like we use to have in Europa I. Although, not all the systems will be online, such as the 4 guilds and the library systems, all the spawns, material spawns, foraging and career systems and merchants will be up and running. The show moves forward. I will be posting on the E2 posting site details once I get from Quebec in early May (business trip).
