This is a discussion forum for the english DAoC server known as Prydwen
https://pryd.net/
Nothing unusual about longer than usual. Who are they comparing themselves to?The scale of the changes introduced in the new versions lead us to the conclusion that this patch process is going to be longer than usual.
Yes they could do that but would always be a chance it goes wrong on a live system while the mock test was fine. Cant be 100% fail proveHappyG wrote:Heh, as a serious gaming company, they could have a patch test server, make a copy of prydwen there, patch it to 1.78 and see if it works, before patching live servers. There is always a possibility something goes wrong on a specific server, but if all servers are still down, they simply werent prepared enough.
Funnily enough that's what we do. There is a stability problem with one of the servers. Until we can find what's causing it and whether the same fault is present on all servers we aren't going to open them. Currently we have several conference calls and IM conversations going on between our tech teams and Mythic trying to find out what the cause is. It's not a problem that will affect any data, it's 'just' a problem that causes a server to constantly crash.HappyG wrote:Heh, as a serious gaming company, they could have a patch test server, make a copy of prydwen there, patch it to 1.78 and see if it works, before patching live servers.

Naa if it was prydwen all the other servers would be upGahn wrote:Uhm let me guess .... it's Prydwen!!!!
Out of jokes if all other servers patched well i would sniff an hardware problem, since u implemented new servers (or so Erivoss wrote on fh).
