Release Notes 2010-12-02

Bring me my broadsword

Good day fellow denizens,

Today's main update feature is a login queue. Sounds simple, took a long time to write for reasons far too tedious and technical to get into. I had to mess with a lot of low-level things to get this to work, so there's a good chance I broke things in the process that I didn't catch during testing. As usual, please let me know if you encounter something weird.

I have also shuffled a bunch of tables and indices around in the dataspace, which should hopefully alleviate the strangely heavy load problems we've been seeing.

Agents will also be pleased that the Internal Bug is actually fixed this time, not just fake-out fixed.

Be merry!

We're aware that private messages and broadcasts are not working correctly. Fixing now.

Whirled of Lights

Hey all,

I told you there would be exciting bugs! This update squashes some of them:


 * Private messaging should once again work!
 * Admin broadcasts should once again work! What do you mean you don't care?
 * You can change states and actions in your Avatars and something will actually happen.
 * A few other control-related things will work better.

The biggest remaining problem is the weird lag in moving around and group-chatting. I don't think that's a database issue. I'll look into it later, right now I am beat.
