9Dragons Servers will be up tomorrow (Thursday)  

Posted by RedCross in ,

Some news for new 9d players:

"Hello All,

My update today will be short and sweet...

9Dragons Servers will be up tomorrow!!!!!

This is indeed, big news.

I will post more information on what to expect tomorrow when I come into the office (which will be late, because I am anticipating staying late if need be)

Again,
we do not have the account database, so the servers will be all fresh and clean for people that want to play again. This means, yes, you will be starting over, for at least the time being. I still have hope to get the Account DB in the future, but no one wants to wait for that to happen before we start playing again.

Historically speaking, there are errors, problems, issues, etc...with major launches like this. I will let you know WHEN the servers are up, and I expect you to hit them fast and furious. I do not plan to leave the office, except for food, until the servers are up and stable, so I have incentive to make this happen!

The Item Mall will not be available for at least a few days, possibly a week after launch...sorry, you won't be able to buy immediately.

What I suggest you do instead is reform your friendships, organize your leagues on the new servers, and try not to steal other people's mobs when questing.

I will post tomorrow what exactly you need to do and what to expect. Such as when you can download the client...etc...

The exact time of the servers going up is unknown, but our target is around
6pm (PST)"


Which is Thursday morning. I still have a bunch of storage accounts to claim... now i believe im doing that for nothing. i wont bother to start all over again with no equipment, no money and with all G1 noobs crowded on each clan base and quest mob.



more answers from Hyperion:


"When can we download the client so we can play? Tomorrow, I'm guessing around 3pm? Ill let you know when."

Be ready for super slow transfers 3 hours before server launch



"We will be giving EVERYONE a bunch of free IM stuff in the very near future....as well as some other secret plans that will come in the near-mid future."

Thats cool for those who still like to keep playing



"That and we did commit to doing it, and really, Indy21 is the one in charge of that issue, we are ONLY their megaphone to the players about the user DB."

Moving all responsibility to the Indy...

Worth to add that 3pm PST is a midnight in central europe, and 6pm will be 3am. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

well, it was expected that they'd throw it on indy. Acclaim did the same. It's easier to put it on the Asians so that if it starts stinking, they don't have to put up with American laws

As i said in that topic, it makes much more sence for G1 to start from scrath... Funny thing, thats what i said from the start also!

Well since the majority(more like 40%of total players and 45 or 50% of active ones) of us have ss they would have to make a backup if the DB doesnt come, but anyway if i dont get my char back il try and realy make a law action.
