The anger coming from some people or the disrespect towards the team is disgusting. I think that the Team
does a SPECF*CKINGTACULAR job of running this server, and giving us the game we all love. They are people too, and they do more for us, than some of us do for us.

Ok guy-that-came-here-last-month, tell me more about how great everything is around here.

Don't like downtimes? Go pay 15 a month to play a bad game like WoW.

And I can tell you unequivocally, for the budget they have, the downtimes are very minimal.

I know companies that spend an order of magnitude more and have just as much downtime.

25 hours and counting. I understand it's maintenance but, I'm starting to feel like I did back in the day. As the server lay dormant to me and not knowing what little things might be lurking on the other side, I can't help but wonder, once again, "What is going to be broken when they finally DO bring the servers back up? What did they break during the "fix"? How long will it be taken back down to correct those mistakes? And how long will it take to correct THOSE mistakes after that? Am I going to be rubberbanding everywhere? Will I have to do the last 2 hours of XP grinding again because they rolled it back? What did they break now?!" But that was when SoE was running it, right? ....Right??


Soooo many comments, but I will just stfu..... Okay, I won't.
It's Alpha, not the finalized game.
It's a volunteer project, and the devs aren't getting paid for the stuff they do in their spare time. I have seen games that have worse community and support and everything, that IS actually commercial. You can pay for SWTOR and try to file a ticket. By the time you get an answer, you already forgot what you wanted in the first place. And the answer you get is about as helpful as the advice to connect your computer to the internet before attempting to log in on the game.
This is a great game, which is worth waiting for. Years, if needed. I will ALWAYS wait for this game. Yeah, I had also plans ingame, and I was chewing my nails all week about my city update on sunday. So I missed it. OHNOEZ! Well, go cry a river. 25 hours, and it's gunna take 10 more, I bet!
I bet you haven't donated once, ever.
If you had read this forum thread, you'd know that it will take longer, and why, and wouldn't come crying now at 25 hours. Try again tonight!
Looking at your profile, this is your first post on the forums IN TOTAL! Okay, I'm nobody to judge, I'm always reading and hardly writing. But using your first post ever to complain? Oh, please!

.... I'll just stop now. I wish ignorance could be extincted by castration. I'd have sooo much fun out there.

Yeah, I hope you were not thinking that I was mad, or complaining. Just the opposite actually. Just sick of people acting like games should not have maintenance. It's required, like restarting your computer every so often. **** happens, We have to deal with it..

Like I said, I don't mind the down time, and for being awake only 2 hours today, I've gotten more done than I normally do, when the servers are up.
So its a nice little break.

I mean there are like 8 people working on the game? You are right, the down time is so minimal for that many people, they work their asses off, for us.
Expecting multi-million dollar maintenance times from a private server is not realistic.

Is there a point to being rude? Its been 2 months since I have been back. The only thing I stated was this was the longest down time I have experienced. And yeah, they do a good job here, that is my opinion, and coincidentally the opinion of thousands of other players.
So excuse me for my account age being almost 2 months old. SO SORRY that I played SWG from release to death. And finally decided to do this one.

My girlfriend just kicked me out of the bedroom, I am guessing pollinating her more than 3 times in one morning was out of the question. I need the server to come back up, before she cant walk tommarow, Help her please.

I think his only point is that it's great for you to throw out things like "be patient" and "great job" etc etc but you're talking about if this is a hardware issue etc... We just went through a hardware and server upgrade so many of us know that's not the issue and sometimes it's just about normal maintenance :)

In short, everyone calm down and enjoy the free time and we don't need to over-analyze this whole thing :P

Someone mentioned something about hardware, and me not being familiar with the hardware I asked a question about. It was answered respectfully and I appreciated that.
I am in no rush to have the servers come up.
Just chillen, and finished Skyfall.
It was an OK movie, but there are going to be more? I thought Skyfall was the last of movies to be made?

I personally don't know much about server hardware, but 2.00ghz seems prehistoric to me. My computer is currently running at 4.6 ghz.
Server CPUs (like Xeon with multiproc support) a bit different that desktop CPUs. Less clock rate, more stability (extra error recovery, ECC memory etc).

Everyone says they're sick of all the whining and crying and complaining, but I honestly I don't see much AT ALL?! Am I blind or something? Maybe 1 or 2 posts in this entire thread have slightly leaned towards a little bitterness. 40% are random chat. 30% are about hardware and what they're doing. The rest are people saying stop complaining? I don't get it.

Person 1 : Stop crying.

Person 2 : Me? I'm not crying - I was just asking about how long it's going to take? YOU stop whining!!

Person 1: Wtf? I wasn't whining. I'm making an igloo. People need to stop complaining.

Person 3: Yeah man. Go outside. People need to stop their crying and realise it's a private server.

Person 4: Hey guys, guess what. I just read a book lolz.

Person 5: OMG it's not their fault server is down. Read another book.

Oh gods, I'm watching my husband play SWTOR next to me while I write on my RP-stories...
So there's this guy writing in general chat: "That aint possible, they have 5 healers and the others are making too much dematch."
So I snatch his keyboard and go: "They do what exactly? Dematch?"
And he goes right back: "Yeah, dematch. Ya now, like, kill you."

*Cough* Right. That is the reason why I never read big city spatial on swg, or any general chats on whatever game. It's full with 10 years old that have eaten their dyslexia with the biggest spoon they could find.
I'm a horrible person, but yeah, I'm extremely allergic to bad spelling, even though english isn't my first language, I'm trying my best to keep spellos to a limit.
Dematch - my new word of the day! Reminds me of the endless list of reasons why I only paid for SWTOR for one month.

When I heard ****** bought them, I was shocked at first.
But after some due thought: There are countless of star wars fans all over the globe. Yeah, ****** is a huge-*** company, but even they cannot afford to ruin Star Wars movies and make them for 5-year-olds from now on. If they really bring a ****** sing-along-music-scene, that will be the first and only ****** produced SW movie I ever saw. And I'm very sure that a lot of people share this opinion with me.
So I'm hopeful. Probably there will be things for kids, like maybe ewoks? Yuck! But however, SW is an adult-thing that children just happen to love as well. They can't ruin this without killing the spirit. I'm sure these will be good movies. Pirates of the Carribean was a good movie, funny and happy ending and all, but without a horrid music moment.
Stay positive!

Oh, and just to point that out. I am 26 years old, and in the past couple of weeks, I have watched a lot of old original ****** movies, for the shiz and gigz. And I could still sing ALL the songs with them, after like 15 years.
I dig these moments - in some regards I can just allow myself to be a girly girl, even when I fix cars for a living.
Just saying, IMO these "moments" have nothing to do with star wars movies, and are not tolerable in them. If I want cute ****** songs, I can watch Little Mermaid or something.

Well if you look at every single movie ****** has made, including Pirates of the Caribbean (which I like too, dont get me wrong), they have a tendency to take away anything that is semi-R rated. Not that Star Wars was ever close to that aspect, but it does have a very adult-trended fanbase and it will probably be the acting that will ruin it (just like it ruined episode 3 for me).

I am staying positive, because I love star wars to death, but I also hate ****** to death, and mixing those two will make something that isnt my expectations, I can almost guarantee it.

But im still going to read the books and play SWG regardless haha

piya
02-25-2013, 05:14 PM
My saying, but I am absolutely willing to give them a chance. They can't afford letting Star Wars die - as in: what it stands for. It's so old! What, going towards 40 years? They can't suddenly change the themes THAT much. Sure, we'll have to make a few compromises, but I haven't lost hope just yet. I know what you mean by semi-R rated. Yeah, but also, Star Wars' most intimate moment was a kiss?
I usually like ******, even though I haven't watched any cartoons that are younger than made in 2000. And some of the real movies are very good, especially the ancient ones. (Homeward Bound?)
To bring it to the point, I'm not putting my high hopes in it, but without ****** we wouldn't get any Star Wars movies again, probably forever. I'm going to give them a chance without prejudicing first. If the movies suck, I'll gladly admit to that. If they don't - the better!

Don't forget that ****** owns Touchstone Pictures and uses it to release more mature pictures - like A Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy - which happens to have a PG rating. Guess what the original Star Wars film rating is? You got it, PG.

Yes it 2.0Ghz, but you cannot relate that to a desktop. This server has 2 Processors with 6 cores each running at 2Ghz. Its is running on current comodidty server hardware. Also, the current process is limited by the disk subsystem not the CPU anyway.

Remember these are 6-core XEON prcessors with hyperthreading so in essence they can process 24 threads at the same time. Definitely not a CPU bottleneck. Most likely the HDDs are causing the bottleneck.

How can you complain when these people are putting their "Play time" in life into doing this for us to enjoy in our "play time". Even if the server was down for a week youd have no right to complain. Its free. They also have lives..unlike some people it seems....who have nothing better but to sit here and act like its the end of the world. A few days without SWG is better then the years we lived without it after CU. So until you are putting your spare time into doing the EMU project. Dont complain.

If you went for years without playing SWG don't blame anyone but yourself. I will agree that the CU and NGE versions weren't as good but they were still SWG and better than anything else out there and by the end of the game they had addes so much new content that was actually better than before that the only negative thing about the game was the 12 professions and lack of item decay. Overall game play was actually better. At that point the game was no longer NGE but post-NGE. The only time I have been without SWG since beta was the time I choosw not to play on the Liberator server because of how broken it was. I hate not being able to play but am willing to relax and be patient while they perform necessary maintenance on the game. I may have to play LotRO for a while. Haven't played that for a few months.

There is certainly this one good thing about the long server downtime :D
I kept saying "I need to write that down sometime, but I have so much to do with my city and decorations and everything", when it came to re-writing the story of my RP Character Milari.
Now I have made an excessive use of the time off, and went through and corrected roughly 80 A4 pages. Yay! :D

Lol, well yea you have valid points. But when ****** is our ONLY choice, of course we will give them a chance. Im just guaranteeing it will suck :)


Probably, but then again it's not like the last four SW movies haven't sucked in their own right, (yes I include ROTJ when Lucas first sold out by replacing Wookies, a fight that would have been truly epic, with teddy bears for the "cute" factor). So in a way ****** has no direction to go but up. Plus if they actually capitalize on the potential we could see a SW TV series and some spinoffs.

Oh gods, I'm watching my husband play SWTOR next to me while I write on my RP-stories...
So there's this guy writing in general chat: "That aint possible, they have 5 healers and the others are making too much dematch."
So I snatch his keyboard and go: "They do what exactly? Dematch?"
And he goes right back: "Yeah, dematch. Ya now, like, kill you."

*Cough* Right. That is the reason why I never read big city spatial on swg, or any general chats on whatever game. It's full with 10 years old that have eaten their dyslexia with the biggest spoon they could find.
I'm a horrible person, but yeah, I'm extremely allergic to bad spelling, even though english isn't my first language, I'm trying my best to keep spellos to a limit.
Dematch - my new word of the day! Reminds me of the endless list of reasons why I only paid for SWTOR for one month.

I am the same way.

You know it will suck but you are going to give them a chance. There is no logic in that statement. If I know something will suck I don't waste any time on it and I especially don't waste money. ****** has done a great job with the Marvel movies and I am sure they will do a good job with Star Wars. Remember, even though they own Lucas Films, Lucas himself chose who will be running it and in charge of the movies. I a very positive that the movies will be goodas long as Jar Jar doesn't make an appearance. I am also hoping that the failure of SWTOR will cause ****** to relaunch SWG with a new graphics engine so we can continue our journey. I had every reward available in the game and want all of them back.

It all makes sense now. In edit 3 of the original notification (on home) it is mentioned they are reloading to 'recover space.' That usually means Defrag. Defrag takes a variable and immensely long of period of time to read, move, rewrite the data in contiguous blocks, and then zero each individual empty cluster on a hard drive. If it is done by 10pm Eastern we are getting off lucky. The good new is, if that is what they are doing, it speeds up later access, the game should run much smoother, less things like rubber banding and such.

There aren't really and stupid clowns in Ep7-9, if they stick to the books. So maybe the fate of having another Jar-Jar will pass and spare us.
Ep1-6 were really close to the books, so I'm hopeful in this regard, haha! Especially because I loved these books, and movies inspired by books but then doing it all wrong (Harry Potter, LOTR etc etc) usually disappoint me.

Also, I don't think I claimed to know all. But It has the been the longest downtime since I've been around, and 1 full day out of 2 months,

So if I am a kid, then you have wrinkly balls and can hardly walk. Right? Right.

You do know that there are others who have been on the forums as long as you? Did it ever occur to you that I talk to those people?

I like it :)


So you want comments on it or something? =)
You shouldn't trample on things others are proud of. But I don't like it, just not my style.
Always a matter of personal taste though, you can't actually do it wrong. If you like it, /thumbsup!
It's not badly done or anything.

No problem. Try reverting your history too for a better effect. I wasn't entirely sure if the erased text at the bottom was intentional or not, but a border will leave you with a nice transparent fade to the forum's background. It's like being forced to color inside a line.

lol, Look! Someone who misinterprets a post and then feels like he needs to be a "Hero" and turn their words around on them and make it look like they said something negative! ....As he hangs from the nut-hair of a programmer in their defense. Go figure. That's original. Read it again, my little sheep. See if you can find the part where it actually states anything negative towards the "EMU project" OR even the "complaint" ABOUT them. If you do actually read it again, you'll see that it merely brings back the "memories" of what "SoE" used to do. Notice the use of quotations. But for someone like you, maybe instead of the quotations, imagine little thought clouds around the words. And yes, you can make the letters different colors.... Then you'll say to yourself, "OH, I see what he meant now!" Well, maybe you will.... Then again, probably not....

I have like I think 6-7k Credits I belive I have that ebcause I almsot had enough for my first set of buffs! \o/

I have a couple of grinding armor composite sets sitting around in my house, you can just have one. It's not a big deal, really. I'm sure there are others that can help too, a grinding suit costs between 35 and 50k. I make 700k with one buff length mission run, if I'm keeping on it without running afk all the time.
So don't worry about it. Give me an ingame name and I'll shoot you some.

I usually just buy buff-packs and then buff up friends. I'm nobody you'll ever find at Theed or C'net or somewhere, buffing public. And if I did, I'd charge, too.
So if you grab buffs, you either donate whatever you can afford, and if you're broke I'm not crying if I get nothing, because I am rich enough ingame, and it's not like it costs real money. All the billionaires sitting on their credits for the good life, and buff docs ripping off people for 20k a buff, because it has Janta comps in it... Ah well...
It's worth whatever people are willing to pay. However, be nice and contact me ingame, if you need anything. I can probably provide it.
If you want to do me a real favor in exchange for free buffs, move into one of my pre-set houses and declare residence at my city :D

Deal. I have an RP city on Talus, but I'm always looking for people who just join for the citizenship and votes. And seriously, creating a town with a handful of friends and their army of alts, isn't exactly the point. I have a hospital at town, as soon as the server is up and I can place it, so this is also where the buffs will be.
My IGN is Picha. I can't offer you a guild, except you're a RPer and like our idea of XTS (search official sw wiki for it if you're interested), because I'm doing this RP guild with my friend, while he's the guild leader, I am mayor and city decorator.

Let's talk details at some point, not in this thread, it's hard to keep track. But consider it settled, you can have a suit, and I also provide a house plus 10k maintenance on it, if you declare and vote for me. My doctor will constantly be in town at the local med-center, so I just have to log him in and out, if somebody needs buffs.

Yeah, I founded the Black Sun pirate Outpost "XTS Outpost" on Talus roughly 2 weeks ago, and ever since I am madly recruiting friends and all their alts to come join me. I'm currently at 47 citizens, and in theory ranked up to 3 yesterday. Couldn't check it out yet for some reason :D
So yeah, I'm running an amazingly decorated RP place, south of Whitefall, just north of the swamps. Whoever is seriously interested in the city, send me a mail to Picha ingame, and I'll get you the waypoint.
According to my plan, I will have 55+ citizens by sunday, when I will in theory rank up to 4, if that's currently possible, and also get my first throw-out on politician XP. Working for the shuttle port, as there are currently 13 player shuttles on Talus, and the cap should be 15, so I am hopeful.

=) Whoever wants to know more, give me till tomorrow, when the med-center will be up and running and decorated, and then you can come visit ;)
My friend/guild leader Valkore is also planning some kind of Opening event, even though we already had lots of RP in town.

Woot, yeah, I'm spamming a bit, but I am also pretty proud of what we did there in so little time. Even my beloved SWTOR-playing man (yeah, I still love him, regardless this fauxpas) has lent me his account to move his characters to the city for additional citizens >_>

Thanks a ton, guys. The thing is, I'm german and it's 11pm and I'm probably asleep by the time the server comes back up. So actually, send me PMs, if you are serious about joining the XTS outpost.
And while you're at it, please let me know a couple of things, because I'm madly obsessed with planning the city layout.
1) Are you a RPer and want to have a home in the IC-center of the city? Or are you looking for a home to use for storage purpose only, because these houses are in the back of the town.
2) Don't be shy, if you have demands, state them. It's a completely fair deal, if you join the city just to do me a favor and get me a vote once in 3 weeks, if you also want something in return. Aka, free buffs, when I am around to give them, or whatever. I am providing free small houses plus 10k maintenance. I can also keep paying for it, if you inform me. All I want is reliable people who don't abandon their houses for good without letting me know.
3) How many characters are you bringing? ^^

I've always wondered how far / serious RP'ers go. Example, if you're RP'ing a hiking expedition, with all the gear and a scoutmaster or some such. A jolly jaunt across the hills if you will. If a krayt suddenly appears and eats half your team, do you suddenly start RP'ing a krayt enhanced T21 wielding master rifleman with full composite, or do you continue being the hapless and helpless survey expedition team til someone rescues you?

Bleh that doesn't make much sense but posting it anyway.

Its wonderful to know that this game gets the attention by the devs that is needed, there are many times and mostly at random where the big cities are just too laggy, Theed and Cnet as examples. Hopefully this reload clears up the HD space and stuff stays smooth for a while.

piya
02-25-2013, 09:25 PM
Well, we don't have Krayts on Talus, but if we go hiking together and make it an RP event, think of it as producing a movie, and the players are actors. Say you go hiking in an area where Krayts live, you don't want in with a hat and sunglasses on and then suddenly get surprised. Chances are you're prepared to kill the damn bugger. If it kills half the team anyway, that means half the team will need medical attention :D
It's different, and depends on the crew and on the planning. Usually RP is amongst players and storyteller props on live. Creatures and NPCs *usually* don't merge in. But going on a roleplay Krayt hunt, obviously includes the Krayt.

No idea how to explain it properly. I've been roleplaying for years and years, and there are always people making fun of it. But as said, I expect tolerance, in return for my tolerance. Everyone enjoys the game their own way.

On behalf of my wife, a couple of friends and myself, THANK YOU. Your time, dedication, professionalism, PATIENCE, skill and perseverance are all greatly appreciated. After giving up entirely on Corporate gaming, you've given me something to hang on to--a community of gamers that appreciate a game so thoroughly that they are willing to rebuild it themselves. No other action could communicate your dedication as effectively. Again, many thanks.


To the programmers that participate (each and every one of you)...

On behalf of my wife, a couple friends and myself, THANK YOU. The rate at which code is commited is wonderfully encouraging--I've seen heavily-funded Corporate game projects take longer. You should all be proud of yourselves.

To all involved...

On behalf of my wife, a couple friends and myself, THANK YOU. An online community without people is not a community. That being said, whether I get along with you, or not, whether you even care, or not, you are all important. Without you, the server would feel lifeless...I play this sort of game to interact with others, good or bad, right or wrong. The entire spectrum of playstyles, desires and expectations are what bring games like this to life. Losing any one aspect of the player-base would merely detract from this. Even the trolls and elitists have a place.


All of THAT being said, I have a question for anyone on "The Team".

Since I have had no problem with paying a monthly $15 subscription for games (I've been doing so for the last 14 years, in one game or another), I've pretty much decided to budget for that amount to put towards the SWGEmu Project. My question is this--Since the donations taken in monthly are usually more then enough to cover current costs ( I hear there is a surplus--correct me if I am wrong), what do you suggest I do with this budgeted money? Should I just set it aside for that rainy day when the project needs a quick infusion of cash? Are there future, scheduled expenditures I am unaware of that I could save my donations for? Or, perhaps I should just make the monthly donation and let you folks decide?

Again, thanks to all involved. :icon_biggrin:

I'm sure the team could do with a pizza from time to time... :P

Seriously though, I would *expect* the surplus funds to be saved for either, a shortage one month, or upgrading to better hardware. But I'm merely (wildly) speculating.

You know it will suck but you are going to give them a chance. There is no logic in that statement. If I know something will suck I don't waste any time on it and I especially don't waste money. ****** has done a great job with the Marvel movies and I am sure they will do a good job with Star Wars. Remember, even though they own Lucas Films, Lucas himself chose who will be running it and in charge of the movies. I a very positive that the movies will be goodas long as Jar Jar doesn't make an appearance. I am also hoping that the failure of SWTOR will cause ****** to relaunch SWG with a new graphics engine so we can continue our journey. I had every reward available in the game and want all of them back.

Give them a chance meaning I am going to watch it and not be entirely stubborn until I view it at least. Better translated?

Okay guys <3
It's as good as midnight here, and I will now watch Final Fantasy VII, see if it's any good. It goes roughly 2 hours, so if I manage to stay awake through the whole movie (On laptop on the bed), I'll check back here and see if the servers are back. If that is the case, I will send waypoints to all that requested them, as long as they gave me their IGN. Keep sending me PMs, if you want to join the city. There's free armors, and free cookies, if you're good.

I know, I've been dealing with SD-O already. Vorlen is a friend of mine, and we had some cool RP the other day, along with 6 or 7 troopers, too. Been looking forward to more. However, I'm semi-watching a movie ( I actually thought I could move my focus away from the forum for 2 hours, haha! Ignorance! :D ), but either way, even if I'm still awake when the server comes back up, it won't be for long. It's past midnight already, I'm in GMT+1.

30 minutes ago we were at 50GB out of 340GB. So it might take a while longer lol.

Rough guesstimate... 50GB left

so doing the maths, ETA is roughly 11:15PM EST 2/25 providing there are no other roadbumps or hiccups.

I don't see how the ETA is 11:15 EST his first. Didn't he post they where at 180 around 7:30 am? Now we are at 290 as of 4pm. Going off that math the upload should be done around 9-10 EST.

Not sure if this has been brought up, but when adding the edits to the front page news (which is super helpful) it would be equally helpful to enter the date and time of those updates so we have an idea of what's going on timeline wise.

Thanks :)QFE

I'll shut the lights off now and go sleep. My alarm goes off in 6 hours, and I'll be up and awake just in time for the server to be running stable for a few hours :D

Just for future reference you should put time stamps with your updates on the home page rather than just "edit3" etc.

have to agree, the update edits are lacking much information.. It wouldn't hurt to time stamp, or even have a thread dedicated for maintenance!

Which completely negates the point of having a post on the home page... so you don't have to come search through 33 pages of posts? I was going to add that to the post but figured that was obvious.
