Update on the update?

[~Insider Trader~]

Can we get an update on the forthcoming updates please? I understand admin has been put back by the MGM nonsense but its pretty harsh to get our hopes up and then go silent for months.

I was looking forward to a bit of change here, would be nice for something new & different after so long.

[Caprila]

Unlikely he would post here

Best chance is likely to ask at next week's IRC meet

[~Insider Trader~]

even if admin doesn't cancel it I can't make it due to work & timezone issues.

It's like staring out the window with the light on the porch waiting for Harold Holt to return. (Look it up if your not Australian)

due to some peoples attitudes and actions admin rarely to never commits to and timelines or deadlines.

Hold the phone..... there's actually talk of updates for the ascended server?

Hold the phone..... there's actually talk of updates for the ascended server?

In one of the chats, admin spoke of a 'massive overhaul', that would take 'months' to complete and would 'stir things up a lot'.

<adminHere> same with launch of BC to 'live' not 'beta'\
<adminHere> both hopefully will be done next few days
<adminHere> or weeks at latest Smiley
<Caprila> ok Tongue thanks

Side tracked on 15th, by update on att/def and bugs.

Will try and ask again this week

( He has to do BC & alliance function updates, BEFORE he starts on ascended, hence relevance. .)

[Juliette]

[2009-10-07 17:29:58] <Caprila> how is the updates coming admin :O
[2009-10-07 17:30:05] <adminHere> still moving. but slow
[2009-10-07 17:30:25] <adminHere> i am in the equivalent of a programmers 'writers block' but getting through slowly...

Is the answer I got last wednesday...

[Juliette]

Indeed.. hm.
Thanks for the update.

[~Insider Trader~]

I'm not surprised he has writers block given the current situation lol.

For the record I don't mind if he screws me over with whatever the update will be. I've had my fun chasing down the top accounts and would like a more active server even if it takes away the benefits/advantages I have now.

Many people argue against updates because they have "invested" too much in a particular area. MS's is one that comes to mind. They tend to forget about the "dividends" they've received by way of better farming, better defence, better deterrance amongst other things that have accrued to them over the time of their "investment." And the argument heads down the path of "I want a refund or I'll quit". Well if you get refunded then you've gotten all those extra benefits over the years for free haven't you?

So in light of that, I'm putting my hand up in favour of a broad-based update. I can honestly say I would not be the slightest bit upset if the benefit of my 1 Quintillion dmu "investment" in my account was wiped in an instant, because I've already enjoyed the benefit of it over a year, and I would love to see a more active server.

Take a chance admin, take a risk like you used to on this server back in 06 & 07. Don't be afraid to stir things up a bit. You'll may cop a little criticism from time to time from some noisy people but those who love to have a little fun here away from the (relatively more) seriousness of main will appreciate it if you make the effort.

Fully agree there, *Raises hand*

because I've already enjoyed the benefit of it over a year, and I would love to see a more active server.
Can't honestly say that tho, the last year has been boring as all of ascention has been for me. It just been one extreme to the other. maybe 6 months of enjoyment out of the 2 1/2 to 3 yrs on ascention.
