Not sure who the GM/Admin is either, but I'd love to shake their hand, this place is a blast.
1) Bots have issues many places and servers. Stock code does NOT have them created properly. In addition, deletion of a bot or creating more than 7 on an account by someone else can mess YOUR bots up w/ no fault to the owner.
2) It happens. Maybe the owner isn't even online? Don't have to be in the game to do DB work. Perhaps this server isn't meant for players yet and we are on it? Main point is, its the Owner's server, not ours. We aren't entitled anything. Also, if you want your UI saved... log out. Third point, Fableds will be back, its a game, its meant to be fun, not a waste. If you view it as a waste, see elsewhere as a play area.
3) Perhaps they have a slower internet connection? Or perhaps his bandwithe isn't enough to handle 20+ as it was last night at peak. Again goes back, maybe its not intended for players yet? That or the load is too high.
All in all, this server is a BLAST, love it so VERY much. Best bet, make boxes not bots, then your gear will always be there!
Plus its fun just going out and hunting for gear, don't view it as a chore or work. Its a game, have fun.
Keep up your good work, mystery GM!
