Future for Basilisk

02/12/2022
The SWGEmu Staff


We have come to the point that we no longer see the need for Basilisk as we did before. Finalizer have taken over as our main test server. Today we have made an popup message in-game on Basilisk for the ones who remain there, but mostly for returning players who have had a break from the project.

Basilisk is no longer our primary test server
We are no longer pushing updates or changes to Basilisk
Basilisk character names will be reserverd until 03/18/2022

Basilisk will eventually be taken down. Expect to hear more about that soonTM​.

It was obvious this is where it was going when Finalizer launched, but I didn't think it would be this quick.

How long before it's taken offline? I think I need to start making lots of archival videos.

What about taking Bas offline 10 ears + 1 day after it was launched? That way we can say it lasted "over 10 years"?

First character created on Basilisk was 06/11/2012 at 15:55:43. We will see. That would make me a liar though :p

Nope, you'd be good by over a week!

There is problems with having Basilisk going though. We will get more of the issues we had last week, where the disks for Finalizer got full. More people join the server so the issues will come again sooner than before. We would not have that issue if we didn't also run Basilisk. Basilisk also take human resources even though we are not updating it anymore. So, even though it would be a nice sentiment that we get 10 years and 1 day, we might not be able to do that.

I think its best. Good decision imo. Lets focus on finalizer and get to 1.0.

Good. Toss Basilisk into the trash. It has grown into a train wreck anyway. IMO Finalizer will be much better.

It needs a proper send-off though!

Put a bunch of blue frog character terminals out everywhere and let everyone go nuts and degenerate the world into chaos for a while before pulling the plug on it. Seems like a fitting end to it.

giant funeral pyre, and we can all walk into it 1 by 1?

or perhaps we all can share a bowl of sleepy punch, and wake up on finalizer? :)

You will have to wait and see. I will not ruin the surprise our ECs and QA have worked hard on to make for us ;)

This might be a dumb question, but I am going to ask it anyway. lol With Finalizer obviously having more active updates done to it's code will the code for Basilisk still be available for those who based their custom servers off of it? Asking more out of curiosity as I figured sooner or later someone might be interested in it. Thanks in advance.:)

The last commit merged into Basilisk's repo is here (https://review.swgemu.com/plugins/gitiles/Core3/+/refs/tags/basilisk-final).

That said Basilisk has always had certain internal changes to address scale and combat other issues, that code will not be released.

Oh awesome. That should be helpful for anyone who needs it or wants to take a look at it then or needs to download it again. As far as the internal changes go I totally get that. I personally wouldn't have thought any of that would been included myself, but it's good you elaborated on that bit. Thanks mate. I appreciate it.:)

enable blue frogs on basilisk and get rid of nova.

enable blue frogs on basilisk and get rid of nova.

Can't be done, Basilisk is burning 30Gb of RAM, 600Gb of Disk, and an untold amount of log space and offsite backups.

Plus the newer code will NOT WORK on Basilisk with the older objects, we ran into numerous issues when we tried to merge the latest onto TC-Prime with Basilisk code. That combined with single digits real players has sealed its fate.

Basilisk is a resource hog for zero value.

I *only* log into Bas to keep our guild from going to elections. A guild of what was 2 active players who are both on Finalizer full-time now.

With all the issues and distractions Bas causes the SWGEMU team, you have my vote to pull the plug. I played on it for MANY MANY years but Finalizer is where it's at now!

I'll be playing Basalisk until she dies... not sure where I'll go afterwards. I'm praying that we could possbily have two servers on launch, one for the 1-character purists, and one with 3-4 character limit for those of us who wish for at least a little more flexibility to be able to experience more parts of this incredible game we all hold in our hearts.
