TWO AO THINGS |
|
Other than that the game goes up and down more than a
prom date, there were two tidbits released by Funcom regarding Anarchy Online. The first
was notes on a recent patch:
- Fixed a problem related to playshifting/zoning.
- Fixed a bug that made it hard for some users to connect to
the servers during peak hours.
|
Also, game designer Martin Amor released a "daily"
update regarding the latest patch, concerns of the players and the game in general.

DEV CHAT TRANSCRIPT |
|
Crossroads of Dereth has updated their libraries with a copy of last
nights Dev Chat regarding the Dark Majesty expansion pack for Asheron's Call. From what I
could see, most of the major topics were covered and a good deal of items were cleared
up. To read the transcript from CoD, click
here. In somewhat related news, it seems the newly revived CoD may
not be in the clear yet:
We
need your Support |
Unfortunately, we need your help.
Due to delays some of our business partners are having in meeting their commitments, this
attempt to relaunch the Crossroads Network needs your support to meet its immediately
financial obligations. Alex Macris, CEO of Warcry and the business brain making this
effort possible had this to say:
As you may have noticed, we have been running house ads
for EzzMedia for the past several days. These ads were supposed to be replaced by a major
corporate sponsorship. Unfortunately, that sponsorship has not been forthcoming, leaving
the Crossroads revival without a steady revenue stream. Therefore, we have decided to
being pursuing alternative sources of cash. In the future, that will mean merchandise and
special product offerings, but for now, we'll just be opening up to contributions from
you, our community. All contributions will go towards the network's bandwidth and other
costs, and any excess will be invested in better hardware and software, to make this the
fastest, most reliable network around. We appreciate any and all support you can give.
There is no set amount to contribute. We have added links to Paypal and Amazon.com, whom we're currently using to
handle contributions via credit card. If you're interested alternative methods of
contributing, please contact Alex Macris for more information.
Our immediate goal is to meet our bandwidth costs for this
month (currently at roughly $2,000). This should allow us sufficient time to get over this
initial hump and deliver the alternative revenue options we have been planning on. I thank
you again for your continued patience and support. |

FENRIS NOTES |
|
Today's update is, well, rather lackluster. I'm
feeling awfully sh-tty right now, seems like I'm coming down with something. I was
just going to zone out with some AO and then go to bed, but Funcom had other plans.
So here's the short of it: -Stryker has a new Comic up, go check it out right now!
-I'm putting a temporary hold on our AO page and guild right now until the game
settles down a bit. Hard to do anything with a guild when the server is going down
every 45 minutes.
-No new cam pick today, unless you want a pic of me blowing my nose or throwing
up.
Ahhh that's it, I'm out. Austin hugs to you all, goddamn... I *may* have
to miss work tomorrow. |
