Instance reset

Post by Flambard » Sun 11.09.2011, 09:50

Both game servers are now running new instances.

Sorry about your saves. There was a power failure that resulted in save-file corruption, and our back-up mechanism turned out to be broken. Thus, after serving us for many years, the flagship instance is retired. Yeah, the reset should have been epic, and instead it's pretty lame. Nonetheless, enjoy the fresh world!

shit... Guess we will never know if I would have kinged with my Egoless High Elf mage...

May come back to the game in a few years. But I think for the next few years, I should concentrate on other things. Like passing actuary exams and having a life.

I remember that older versions had deeper dwarven towns(1250 or so and you could use tele level scrolls).
I want to know, if there will be a restart with the newer version or not, before i travel deeper.

For the Ironman server, there need to be specific files (server.level.0.0.20 and such) placed in /lib/save to have the dwarven towns generated. Probably missing...

I've just double checked and there is a town at 1k ( and at 2k).

Thank you, its now implemented.
The char directly logged into the town level, but at a dead corner.
Phase door has helped to find the way to the shops so.
