Hi RoR peoples !
I don't express myself very often but i feel it is important bring some light on the actual situation.
As you can see and undergo, we are experiencing an important shutdown period since 2 weeks.
To begin with, be assured that Return of reckoning will.... return (as soon as possible : read carefully).
All the story started with massive DDOS atack. To be honnest, RoR and DDOS is a lonnnnnnng story and we are attacked quite every days since a years (or more). Some weeks ago DDOS has won.
Because of that, we have experienced some DB issues ( guilds, loading datas...) and discovered some important issues in the project forcing us to modify part of the code ( i'm not a pro, so excuse me if i'm not very precise or accurate). Emu becomed unstable. The "alpha" phase is not just a word.
Actually we are investing in new hardware and set it up is harder than expected. Be assured the guys who are working on it know their job and despite this, have big headashe.
In the same time, team is still working on the project to improve your futur experience and make ROR better when he will come back.
Summertime doesn't help. Some are going on holidays, some have IRL obligations ( work, family), and we all have to deal with it. I don't need to remind you that RoR team isn't a professionnal organisation, and sometime time to work on this project is short.
This situation is stressfull for everyone. For you because you are quite blind of what happens ( Ror will come back? yes ? no?), and for us ( ror team), because we hopê everydays since a week to success to make the server up.
So i apologize if some of you feels assaulted by some staff answers on this forum. We try our best to be back to a normal situation, and answering 1000x to the same "can't connect" post everydays may wire up.
Until this banner
become like this :
Don't expect to connect.
We have put this BIG visual information to be the more visible as possible on the homepage. I don't know how it can be missable. Sadly it seems some who are looking "everywhere on this forum" succeed to miss it (and feel offended when a GM have some rude reaction).
So if you have a better solution i'm interested.
Now i hope you all have a better understanding of the actual situation. I wish all this will be a bad remembrance in few days. I thank you all for your trust and for your patience.
Yali.
