Evening EZ players!  Grin  Cheesy  Cool

It is the tail end of summer, where most emulator servers get slow as people finish up enjoying the summer doing other things. In a few very short weeks it will be fall, and everyone will be getting the mad itch to play again!

Double!

  • The weekend of September 1st - we will be doing DOUBLE LOOT - so mark your calendars!
  • Friday September 1st (Thursday at midnight) through Tuesday Noon CDT
  • We will also be running the last years Halloween event for the LAST TIME during this weekend. We will have a brand new Halloween event this year
  • If we hit 1,000 players - we will hit TRIPLE LOOT for the remainder of that day, we want to stress test our new server  Grin

New Server Hardware and Datacenter

I've moved EZ to a new Datacenter with some big-time upgraded hardware, so between all of the server code updates recently and new hardware, everything should be buttery smooth!


  • 5Ghz core clock, DDR4 memory, 2 x NVMe SSD's in Raid
  • 2x faster core clock, 2x faster memory, and 13x the read iops

Changelog

  • [Water] T5 and zones with water will no longer have NPC's sinking to the ground during combat
  • [Netcode] has been very stable since the last wave of changes (see previous update)
  • [FixZ] Smooth out close combat npc/pet hopping
  • [Position Updates] Bulk updates when player has moved far enough - eliminates client ghosting on rez/gates/summon as well as npc ghosting
  • [Position Updates] Always send position updates to group members - even when in raid
  • [HP Updates] Resolved an issue when a player is swapped to a group in a raid - mana and endurance shows empty to group members
  • [HP Updates] Resolve issue where clicking self in raid window would make characters health bar go down significantly

Are ya'll coming up with a new event for Halloween Event or are we doing away with the events all together?  Also is this last event going to be during the DL event on Sept.1?  Huh

Why when I create a Halloween expedition for, "less dangerous road" will my toons not follow?  Also, I tried to download the file prompt when I loaded in it took me to a page that said the file was no longer available.

I just re-logged as my pc was slowing down but can't get back in. Assuming login server is down. Anyone know when it will be back up?

Did you make a group/raid and have the leader talk to Mr. Halloween?

Is there anyway we could leave snownose and the holloween vendors around so we can turn in our candy and or other items whenever we want?

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it. May God have mercy on your soul.
