Mothandric · Post by **Mothandric** » Fri Oct 21, 2005 3:11 pm

This is an announcement to let you all know that there will be a guild DM event on the Mikona server Saturday 22/10 at 1600 GMT.

It would be greatly appreciated that players who are not involved with this event DO NOT log into the server until the event is over to avoid lag.

I will post in this thread when the event has finished

Thankyou for your cooperation and respect for the enjoyment of your fellow players.

Kairal: maybe a good time for a field trip to a Wilderness locale? A change of scenary can inject some fresh creative energy into any guild meeting.

If you are all desperate for a change of scenery, maybe you can all populate the underappreciated Kuras or LeOr servers

But but but.....That's blasphemy

. Dragon mountain is in the M'Chekian wilderness we can't have the dragon relocate to Le'Or, there's way too many trees for our Master to land

. And Kuras.....well....with 10-15 members attending it would be rather expensive to book a roundtrip to Kuras, not to mention it's a long way for the Dragon to fly (won't fit on a ship)

Moth, we have a DM event scheduled for 20GMT in mikona as well. If this is a problem, please get ahold of Game Extremist.

(I know how events can be quite long)

Do servers ever get reserved for non-guild players, or is that a privilege that only guild playersr eceive?

Mothandric · Post by **Mothandric** » Sat Oct 22, 2005 12:35 pm

The only time that announcements like this are made are when there are DM events involving a lot of players. The event may not even be related to a guild. The reason for making these announcements is to avoid the server lagging heavily and thus creating an unplayable environment for all involved. These announcements are made at the discretion of the DMs. Sometimes no announcement is made at all, it all depends on the number of players involved.

Players cannot reserve a server.

I hope this answers your question.

Anyone who was in Mikona last Saturday, when we had a player's speech (where 30+ people showed up, and were all in the same area) followed by two simultaneous DM events (one guild, one non-guild) will tell you that warning people in advance of such events is a good thing. My one-hour event took 4 hours to do. The event involved absolutely zero combat - just players talking to NPCs. Lag was horrid, and I crashed out at least seven times (I stopped counting after that). It must have been just as bad, if not worse, for both the players involved in the events and those who were unaware and logged onto Mikona to find it in the Tenth Hell, better known to us as Lag Hell.

In other words, what Moth said - hearing in advance about an event on a server helps to make sure everybody has a fun time and that nobody gets trapped in that Tenth Hell.

If you think lag is bad as a player, try the DM client.
It's ~much~ worse, up to the situation where it gets near impossible to continue an event properly.

Do you want your DM to crash out and not being able to reconnect due to lag, while his buffed uber monster gets out of control and annhiliates your whole party?

Bear with us folks, we are not doing this to spoil your fun, we just try to coordiante it so that all can enjoy the game.

[complete hijack]Oh man, I crashed out a few times while I was possessing a horribly roided-up The Ravager in combat with PCs. Those poor bastards...[/complete hijack]

Attention please:

The server will be reset before the event and the player password will be changed while the event is on.

Psyco will post here when the event is over to let you know that everything is back to normal.

Thankyou for your cooperation

If those I know are having problems give me PM.

Mothandric · Post by **Mothandric** » Sat Oct 22, 2005 4:21 pm

The server is experiencing technical difficulties, please bear with us and an announcement will be made shortly when it is up and running

Haven't we chained him to the garage yet? I mean chaining him to his inlaws place would have been downright torture but a garage is ... well a garage. We could could do that couldn't we? *goes off to check alignment*
