We are still looking into the current issue which caused the server to freeze.  We don't have an estimated time for the servers coming back up yet, but we'll let you know as soon as we've located the cause of the issue.

 

You guys are awesome, thank you for being so patent.

 

Any latest status?

ooooh... is it just me or did he just tell us they still have no idea what's wrong? Not to mention having no clue how to fix it yet.

 

 Have you ever heard the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it?" Should've just left iRose alone... I still remember having to login spam because there were 6 exceeded channels... so many people playing that you had to wait for someone to log off to get their spot.

 

Gravity has systematically run off more and more users with each subsequent "improvement" implemented. Every time there's a server update you lose members.  Seriously... the user count is now so low that you're talking about merging the 2 remaining channels. Xita and Eldeon have become ghost towns. Goblin Caves and Luna Temple are abandoned. 

 

I love this game and have been involved in it in one form or another for over a decade. I even paid to play this game..for a couple years. Stop trying to "improve" something that was fully 1337 long before a lot of these kids were out of diapers. Please stop trying to "improve" this wonderful game before there's no one left to play it.

 

part and parcel of time and simply games moving on. Some of these improvements are what some players want.

I remember Atari and pacman, space invaders. Games in the past, were so much simpler and unsophisticated graphics.

I don't recall having internet in those days. 

Over recent years there has been one big explosion, games are capable of so much more now and i think RoseOnline should at least harness as much as is possible without losing too much of the Rose we all love.

 

When your saying don't update, to me, that's like taking me back to the 1970's and Folk telling me to keep my black and white television, as opposed to moving on to a nice fancy color tv.

I understand some people don't like change (I'm one of them) I don't like the upheaval of it all.

I'm hoping that once the dust settles, the game we know and love will once again come out bigger and better than before.

....and will be loved by more than one generation, but by all. For that to happen, change must come.

Might be I am an old player (one of those that fallan in love with the 2004 version), might be I am quite old to play games (I am 37), might be Naughty got the point really really well... thing is... I completely agree with your above post.

 

I admit, it's like you have been able to read my mind... thanks for putting it such simple and effective way (and in a proper English... as I am really bad at it...).

[xwillstoakux]

Wow...servers are still down something must have been messed up badly? does Warp Portal not keep any backup data on site? might just be quicker to restore older data and re-do the whole maintenance as we heading to 48 hours downtime now...and thats quite bad for any MMORPG....

[beachbabyc]

SO bored with Rose down, lol....Don't know what to do without it 

[Denaomina]

  I am not trying to flame or be mean at all but you say these are improvements players want?  I don't see many wanting account / items bound to each character and needing to farm or buy IM to move them to another character and in some cases they won't be able too from what I can tell.  The game isn't becoming bigger and better at all, it's a storage modification and a different control mechanism of the drop table using a roll system.  Oh can't leave out... additional IM items and paying for more storage space and drop modifications.  I too peeked back into the game and started playing some again but find it to be kinda what I see others saying ... a ghost town.   My experience taking a toon I didn't have leveled and leveling it the past couple weeks has been finding most just run bots, most all that I partied with turned out to in the end turning on some bot thing of some sort.  At first I thought it was people playing but after about 15 min it seemed they where all afk.  This happened not just one time but basically most all the parties I joined while leveling up.  

 

  The game being down like it is doesn't help keep players around either so I can see how many are frustrated.  If they are at a point they can't figure it out, the best solution would be to take out the patch and do a roll back to the server state it was in before it was all added.  Then take the state of the server with current patch and apply it to their sandbox testing server and work it from there till they can find the cause of the problem.  That or let many give up and call it quits for good on the game.  I know there are die hards out there and will accept it and that is fine too, but I'm glad I only casual play this game.

 

  I know the staff is trying and being so limited on a few trying to figure it out doesn't help.  They are put in a tough spot and turning money is they end goal but there is too much more developed and better backed games out there to compete with.  I do feel for them, but given where they are at in this moment, I would think the best solution would be to return it to the pre state it was in and try and reproduce it using a full copy of the current game server, then implement it again when the bad code or calls show itself.  This might not be what some want and I know many want the inventory abilities added but at what cost.  Change is needed but it needs to be positive, currently this was already negative and just getting worse with the downtime due to a coding problem somewhere if I where to guess.   

[beachbabyc]

Naughty I understand change must come but why so many in such a short amount of time?  I feel that almost the time I get used to one change you are already making another 

[nvrsydie]

i was wondering..... what is the use of PEGASUS? they did a lot of testing before this...

[hjvg]

i was wondering..... what is the use of PEGASUS? they did a lot of testing before this...

 

there are a lot more people on the live server then on the test server. there are Always things you dont notice in testing. and then every server is acting a little bit difrent.

and also the total down time of warpportal servers did not help this maintance.

 

i think gm`s are doing wat they can tho fix it fast as possible.

[Krizalis]

I wonder.. if they able to reproduce this error/fault/issue in Pegagus.. and then try to fix it there while they roll back to v 508 for Draconis/Leonis and let us continue playing first? wouldnt that be a better solution?

[ganjen]

SO bored with Rose down, lol....Don't know what to do without it

you can always go to the coke museum, or maybe lake lanier to chill or stone mountain is always a good idea ....

so agree, so many players rejecting the bound items idea, yet the devs not listening. Than why ask our opinions ???? Waste of time ... Its all about the IM babyyy ... Pay more ,,, more and moree soon zulie is available at the IM stores

Like a few things in life, it's a case of give and take. Gravity have every right to do as they please to the game. All we can do as players is attempt to advise them.

Propose, suggest, negotiate. We wont win what we want every single time, but we do some of the time.

I am content for it to be like that. 

I'm sure we all have our own personal views on how we imagine the game should be. Some how we all have to mix that all up and get along.

I would not like to be in Gravity's position, imagine trying to please people, from all walks of life, from all over the World and of all different ages.

Just think, there are husbands all over the world, who struggle to just please one person aka the wife. Imagine that x 5000

 

Naughty I understand change must come but why so many in such a short amount of time?  I feel that almost the time I get used to one change you are already making another 

 

Just so there is no misunderstanding. I am a player just like you, i just volunteer some time to Gravity to moderate.

I get what your saying, i too feel like i cant keep up with the changes and i do get frustrated with that.

There is a plus side to it all though, it's clear they are going to update/change the game, the quicker they do that, will be the quicker i can get back to enjoying the game and for things to settle back down.

It's like i'm going to be given an injection in the butt cheek and i'm all ready, eye's tightly closed, cheeks clenched >.> sooner it's done the better!

Yes!!!

 

Hope devs don't take my opnion so negative, but this bounding is the most idiot idea i've seen lately. Just an stupid addcit to justify one more item mall incoming. And as you said, lot of players reject this and they don't give a s****.

 

What wold be interesting, turning char/acc bounded faith items once its equiped, things like these.

 

And so... omg, the weekend is already running on, and nothing about the server get up???

[Leeny]

I'm assuming they messed up something bad and don't know how to fix it.

why servers of yesterday can not be resolved,I can not log'in for 24 hours?
