Guild of Maintainers: Forum

APB!! APB!! Calling all Maintainers! The cavern has reopened!

Finally, the event we have all been waiting for! Cyan has opened an URU Server... details here:

We hope to see you in the Cavern again very very soon!

Welcome home everyone!

-Nynaveve, GoMa Webmystress

P.S. The Cyan servers are a *bit* overloaded with anxious Explorers all trying to get an account at the same time, so please be patient if there is not an immediate response while trying to create your MO:ULagain account.

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C !!!



Thanks for the heads-up, Nyn.

Yay!

EDIT: I wish I'd kept my MOUL files. Updater approximates my download time to be 150 days

/me falls over in hysterical giggles. THAT SUCKS! And the old files won't do you much good; all of us have to download the new ones. Mine is reading 9 hours 11 minutes 20 seconds, and I think its been stuck there for 2 hours.

Main point is - Uru is baaaaaacccckkk.

(Wonder if it would be appropriate for a Canuck to do a rebel yell?)

I haven't forum watched like this in Ages. That's right; it's time to start capitalizing "Ages".

I have a feeling the servers are going to melt before even 20% of the explorers can get back into the cavern. Cyan will need as many servers as Gametap had online for the cancelled MOUL version to handle the load of explorers, and I don't see that happening for awhile since this is relatively new.

I'm hoping the open source community can finally step into the breach now to help releive the server issues. (Heaven knows they've been preparing long enough, as can be seen over at Openuru.org.) Things will really start to cook when they get the OK to open up some fan-run servers to assist with the load. I'm really curious to see how they'll do ti too - maybe some kind of "server cloud" model.

I'm also looking forward to finally getting back to testing ages for folks. With Uru open again, the interest in age design and testing should see a nice spike over the coming months.

No matter what, we are now in the middle of interesting times.

The open source community will not be helping until Uru is actually open source. Trust me, I know how the open source community works, I've done enough stuff in that community to know.
