Varlyndria: Ascension - Coming Summer 2013

[killinhurts7]

Starting zone is down.

[Drakiyth]

Varlyndria: Ascension is down for maintenance while we try to find the bugs that are causing some of the crashes. We'll be up later today.

awww damn, just got home from work. was psyched about playing =P

[Drakiyth]

Removed all buffs from players in the database since older buffs that don't exist anymore were causing major crashes when getting buffed with a newer spell.

The EQemu Launcher now properly works with Varlyndria: Ascension.
Please make sure to use this version of it:

Server is coming back up in a few minutes.


• Fixed Bind Points - Players can now bind anywhere aside from the PVP zones.
• Removed a script that was causing massive lag when players joined the server. This also lead to players not
leveling up to 70 as they should when entering the server.
• Removed all buffs from all characters in the database. Older buffs were causing severe crashes when combined
with almost any buff spell that exists.
• Added the Witch Doctor lieutenant back in the starting area, he was accidentally removed.
• Fixed Nexxrn's augment to not have augment slots.
• Fixed the Deathguard path quest.
• Fixed the EQemu Launcher - Please use this version:

• Removed Booming Voice line from database. It's not needed anymore.
• Guards can no longer be targeted or accidentally aggroed with AoE.
• Fixed the Epic 1: Soulrager's Claw of Ghostly Force to be Beastlord only.
• Donator Dice can be used by all classes now instead of just casters. This was not intentional.
• Donator: Symbol of Planar heroes can now be used by all classes and not just casters. This was not intentional.
• Players will no longer infinite zone loop at the Permafrost Entrance.

What is preferred client for the server? SoD?

[Ozium]

yeah lag monster is back again, not even 50 on server so it's code somewhere sucking cycles or it's running on a one-legged hamster !

he updated the spell file DL and see alot less complaints/crashes

[jabedoben]

When I try to create a character it doesn't do anything when I click on the button. Only thing that works is the one that logs you out.

[Drakiyth]

Aye, we are still trying to work out bugs and get things playable. We did some recent adjustments today so hopefully that helps. You can play and create a character right now just fine. The server was in bad shape earlier today, that's why you couldn't play.

[Greyn]

Is SoD the preferred client?

[Drakiyth]

Varlyndria: Ascension will patch the following clients with the 1.71 launcher:

SoF, SoD, UF/HoT and RoF

Endless apologies for the lag/disconnects/crashes lately. We are trying hard to get everything working good. I just ran a Ccleaner on the server rig and may of found most of the problem since that thing hasn't been cleaned for over a year. So far so good on stability. *crosses fingers* We have secrets, natedog and other techs that are looking into the issue when they can. For now, get on and enjoy guys. Hopefully things get better soon and we stabilize. It's open alpha afterall so didn't expect things to go 100% smooth at launch with this much custom content.

Don't let the word Alpha prevent you from playing though. Characters will not be wiped as the term is mainly for stability and current content available.

[Tenyen]

Don't apologies , you do a great work with your server.

continue in this way

Heh, Server rig isn't going to magically become slow like that.

At most you should have to run a defragmenter.

Issues will reside on the server side but they will either be in script or in source and troubleshooting where that is - is the fun part. (NOT)

Still can't create a character. Clicking on the button does nothing. Anyone else have this problem? I'm using Underfoot and have used the official EqEmu patcher.
