Basilisk merge 7/18/2012

On Wednesday at 6PM EST (check your local time here (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Basilisk+merge+7%2F18%2F2012&iso=20120718T18&p1=179&ah=5)), Basilisk will be taken offline for about 2-5 hours. During this time, the code from Nova will be merged with the Basilisk code.

This means that any changes that were made on Nova, will now be on Basilisk.

If you need support please submit a ticket to http://support.swgemu.com or join our IRC #swgemusupport channel.
As always TC: Nova and Basilisk server status are available on our front page www.swgemu.com (http://www.swgemu.com) or on our IRC #serverstatus channel.

We apologize for any inconveniences, thank you for your continuous support, and hope to see you on Basilisk as soon as it's back online.

I only have one thing to say...

WOOT!

[DrSurge]

I just want Bazaars, Creature Looting, and Junk Dealers to stim the economy just a bit, it's real hard for fresh starts when you gotta travel by foot to your Terminal missions. Where's Gendra when you need her, I would love a complimentary XP-38. ;D

[Artemis-x-]

good news, love it

[AZIronman]

Rifle accuracy is working correctly in PVE but it's still borked in PvP!

[Wargon]

I cannot finally wait till all those people shouting there sales in front of cnet starport to be gone and maybe just maybe have a quieter cnet lol!

[Madatar]

excitement expressed

[thezallow]

Excellent stuff, look forward to the merge ^_^

[Ikox]

good **** !

[AbsynthXDraven]

Schweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They will then announce the waypoints of their vendors by shouting out loud at coronet starport, I fear....

[Nateallibone]

!!!!!! awesomee!!

[Sady]

You all are super amazing :)

[Lantern]

Awsome can't wait ! Keep up the Good Work !

[kiapan]

OMG, it just gets better and better! All of you just rock! I was feeling sad that I don't yet know enough about Pre-CU gameplay to be an effective Nova playtester, and I read about the need for more testing over there, so a merge could happen. Obviously, some of you stepped up and helped, where I couldn't. So, in addition to Hurrahs! to the development team, thanks also from me, to our Nova players!

Oh god, I hope that means we get bazaar and I can finally stop spamming in front of SP.

Great job devs, thank you so much for your hard work!

[Artemis-x-]

Great job devs, thank you so much for your hard work!

and stop spamming the trade forums too, kills me having to mess about after hitting "new posts" on the forums and seeing 95% of the threads a load of nothing usefull

[fireshaper]

Does this mean that Nova will cease, or will it still function as a test center for future updates?

[Vlada]

Does this mean that Nova will cease, or will it still function as a test center for future updates?

It means that work on the second patch will begin on Nova.

[Ikox]

when the merge happens tonight, does that also make the resources shift out to whatever is on nova ?

[Craigybbz]

This killed me.....laughing to point of tears. :)

[aucob]

This is a great day! I can't wait for the new patch! Thanks so much for all your hard work, Devs!

[Ikox]

Unless by accident :D

wait what , nooo i wanna sleep :(

[Craigybbz]

i reported it on mantis Crush. When you get to the reactor room ( where you need the 2 rods and the 2 switches to unlock the door ) i walk in and get kicked back out to the doors entrance and then i can't access the control room where the last piece of evidence is.
I get 2 feet in the reactor room it kicks me out then shortly after says something along the lines of " lockdown initiated ", the rods are removed and i make my way to the control room, it is still locked for some reason.

How long did it take you to get to the control room after inserting the reactor rods?

[Utso]

Awesome work guys!!@!

[Craigybbz]

i literally burst run towards it , it took about 20 to 30 seconds for me to get there , even cleared the mobs on the direct route it said it was lockdown about 20 seconds after i took the rods over, basically i walked in the door the rods were taken from my inventory and i got kicked out of the room almost instantaneously, i made a run for the control room took me about 30 seconds to get there but after 20 seconds it said the control room was lockdown

[stinger188]

Great news! Now I want to go home from work early so I can play before the merge happens!

You guys are pretty amazing, great news!

[Leoric08]

Thank you much Dev's, you're really doing a fantastic job on the this, and considering it's not your full time job, just amazing work!

[Emmoth]

Amazing Work :)
Looking forward to it.

Fully agree its difficult when you start ! lack of money and nearby mobs to expe [since all afk/macro people are already out there] i am also dreaming of the return of the tamable pets ^^ but thank you for ALL the huge work done so far ;)

Good work team! nice thing to come home to

[localhorse]

Thank you much Dev's, you're really doing a fantastic job on the this, and considering it's not your full time job, just amazing work!

I agree, very impressive work! It would be a tremendous undertaking even if it was their full time job. This is a level of service and communication I've come to expect from for-profit MMOs.

[Masis]

Congratulations to you guys on the first patch to Basilisk. We as players all appreciate your dedication to the project. Here's to many more to come!

[Groundpounder]

Has it been 5 hours yet?

[laminouk]

please wipe :)

[Rodd]

The amazing effort of the Dev team is mind blowing at times.

Thank you all!

[Threejoeseven]

Wait........ Wait i will! Challenge excepted.

[roocey]

Fantastic news. Definitely looking forward to getting back on Basilisk. :D

[jaguar34]

huzzah!!!!

[Payret]

Yay!!! Awesome work Devs! :)

[rwp389]

This is epic!

[candorus]

Hats off to the dev team for thier tireless work and dedication to this project . It's like most projects for long periods of time it seems like there is no progress and then all of a sudden it reaches a point and progress in leaps and bounds you are ALL amazing programers ( /bow3) hehe

[Housten]

space combat.... yaw-pitch-roll

[afaka bambata]

i think you guys are doing a great job at working out the bugs out of the game is there any eta on creature hander and bio eng being put back in the game

[Pery]

Thank you for the great job you are doing!!

[micasmith]

Great job on what you are doing BUT, I cannot heal anyone with /tenddamage, there are only narglatch, fambaa, or falumpaset lairs on the mission terminal out of keren, special attacks take way too much cost to use and I know there is definitely going to be more to come.

[scobey]

I can't do mission terms without a buff now... that is new... and my crafter is getting ganked by rogue Narglatches everywhere. Not really complaining, but I figure anything goofy you would want to know.

[farsight]

you all are truckin' right along. thanks for all the hard work!

[Wolfspirit]

Awesome job on the repopulation of the WDF looks like it was back on live so im thinking all the other repopulated areas are the same so thats great however fully buffed fighting any mob im doing more damage to myself using specials then the mobs are doing to me.

A for effort
A for the thought
D+ for the final result

[Solagel]

I can't get past the character selection screen, it just sits there with the message "connecting to Galaxy"

[micasmith]

I can't get past the character selection screen, it just sits there with the message "connecting to Galaxy"

That's because the galaxy is down

[Austyramz]

Is galaxies up right now ? lol im not sure I was on for about 30min then at around 8:00 it kicked me offline and cant get passed the character screen

[brando004]

took it back down for some reason

[Solagel]

the SWGEmu server status for Basilisk hasn't changed at all, it has be showing Basilisk as "online" all evening even during the merge, so I'm taking it that it doesn't
update often for 1 to know what the actual server status is.

[Mantequillas]

Since the servers went down the second time and came back up, tenddamage now works but for only 2 points a pop....

[brando004]

It says online now... wasn't before... maybe up now? They may have needed to take it down real quick for something, happens a lot with betas and alphas especially ones driven by a volunteer community... just got to have a bit of patience with them :D

[banksy23]

Is there a way to donate to the devs? I'm so happy swg is coming back due to this team. Best game of my life

[brando004]

Its on the home view of the forum and click the donate tab

[Austyramz]

Anyone know when it will be back up again ?

[Vlada]

soontm

[Austyramz]

Lol I hope so

[Babiikitten]

Hi Is the game up yet? It says the server is online on the login screen, but I cant get in ?

[Andy En]

Hi Is the game up yet? It says the server is online on the login screen, but I cant get in ?

I guess "it" is the launchpad?

Don't take those messages serious. They always say
All SWGEmu servers are up except:
Test Center: Nova

Even when Nova is clearly up...

You find a "more-or-less" accurate status right here in the forum on the "Home"- page!

[Babiikitten]

Ok :) thank you :)

[Mayumi]

This is AWESOME. You guys and gals are the greatest. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and doubly awesome when you consider the price! Thank you ALL!

[Kaelvin]

I am back from cryogenic hibernation. It is good to see the project is advancing just as planned.

[Flying Cat Man]

Hello, just here to say, very happy with all the progress you guys are making!

[Ascian]

I started SWGemu last week ... I bought SWG the day it came out as empire divided ... but didn't seriously start playing until after the CU on through the NGE ... I would like to take a little time to thank all who had anything to do with bringing back this wonderful game, which I have missed very much. You guys are creating this from the ground up and everything feels the same ... of course pre-CU is much more difficult ... but worth it I think. I only hope you're bringing back Jedi ... I realize being an NGE brat made it easy to become Jedi and people who had to work so hard to become Jedi we're angry and I understand that ... but take that out of the equation for a bit and think of Star Wars and the integral part the Force and its wielders plays ... Lightsabers are my thing and I miss mine ... I don't care if it's hard, if it's there I'm willing to work for it. Anyway I realize these things take time and am patiently enjoying the game again thanks to you ... so you guys rock.

[Snickers109]

Yeeee boi!!

[Aldea]

Wellll said sir!

[Chritchkid]

Wait... So it comes out 7-28-12? Why so long if your just merging servers? Also why has the test center server been offline for so long? I wish we could transfer our characters to the other server...

[MastaFlex8]

So when the server is down it means they're changing something on it?

[Vlada]

No necesarily, and even if they are its nothing a regular player would notice or care about.

If its big and if it affects everyone it will be announced.
