Explanations
Thanks for posting the bugs you have found. I realize that the database needs worked on. It is the new database with all the up to date fixes that I could find on these forums. I think that in the process of applying these updates something went wrong along the line. I was thinking about backing up accounts and such and starting with a fresh DB and see how it goes. As for the bugs that are occuring with the server binaries themselves I have applied just about every source code fix I could find as well as including the AA fix and such. While I can apply source fixes and re-compile the server I am by no means a developer that is able to come up with fixes on my own. I just patiently wait until they are released by the devs and I have been very happy with that, devs are doing a great job. As for management being on the server alot please realize that myself and the others do this in their spare time. If you require alot of support when you play then this server is not for you nor is it for you if you want the closest server to eqlive. Myself and the others on this server are doing this for our own personal enjoyment and learning. I love eq and I am happy that I get to run my own server and play for free but most of all the new knowlege I have gained in the areas of networking, database management, and source compiling. Don't take this post the wrong way, I will continue to do the best I can to get this server working in a manner worth playing on alot. I am currently trying to learn how to go about fixing the server code myself as well as being able to come up with fixes for the database on my own. This will also take time considering the 2 1/2 hours a day I get to spend on it. And yes I know that this server is not the best, never said it was in the first place. I will say this one last thing before I end this post. The guys I have working on my server have been doing an excellent job considering the limited experience we have and you know who you are. Thanks for the time you have spent on this server and I hope that you will continue to do a great job in the future.
Thank you all for your time and I wish the best to all of you trying to run a server as well.
Thank You All,
