Bomook Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 i dont mean to sound like a !@#$%^&*, but a zone is nothing without the players, and the longer hs is down the more players it will lose I completely agree with your statement. I don't think it sounds !@#$%^&*bag at all. We are working (and by we, I mean Steigerwald and Dr Brain/D1st0rt ) to get the zone up as fast as possible, however, there are complications to the server, as well as a lack of free time on everyone's part. Making sure you do well in college, working at your job, or going out with your girlfriend in real life is infinitely more important than trying to get the zone up a few days early and/or keeping several players. As Deathmonger said, if Steigerwald was able to give an ETA, then he would. As far as I know now, there are problems with the directory server, but the zone itself works fine. I regret the downtime of the zone, and I know for a fact Steigerwald, Dr Brain, and everyone else do as well. But honestly, they would rather do the the things they need to do in real life first, before worrying about losing players in a game that they do not benefit from. Quote
nebulou Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 yeah, i understand that. it really sucks when things you need to do (college) get in the way of things you want to do (hs)... Quote
Evil Doom Posted February 20, 2007 Report Posted February 20, 2007 LOL evil check your spelling lol, i cant hardly tell what u just said...but thats ok ill get used to it :3 fixed sry it was late when i made the post I can't believe the total lack of consideration here for the host. It sounds like they had a total server meltdown, and it will be up as soon as possible, and if they had a timeframe they'd tell you. After being wrong the first time I'm sure Steig does not want to offer a new timeframe until the problems are solved. In any case, Steigerwald, the guy footing the bill for the server you addicts are whining about, does not "owe you" a timeframe as though you have some sort of service contract with him. I would appreciate the fact that he is hosting HS at all and chill. what ive been trying to say all this time thanx for agreeing i dont mean to sound like a !@#$%^&*, but a zone is nothing without the players, and the longer hs is down the more players it will lose People that find Hs as a "Home Zone" wont be leaving any time soon, as Sui said "patients" yeah, i understand that. it really sucks when things you need to do (college) get in the way of things you want to do (hs)... that is how life worx Quote
Shia' Tan Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 how would u connect if u did know the ip and port? saweet!! u learn something new everyday People that find Hs as a "Home Zone" wont be leaving any time soon, as Sui said "patients" wrong one Quote
Dr Brain Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 i dont mean to sound like a !@#$%^&*, but a zone is nothing without the players, and the longer hs is down the more players it will lose I disagree. I've never, ever made HS for the players. I've always made it for myself. I appreciate the fact that other people happen to like it too, but keeping a high population isn't my goal here. It will be up when it's up. I generally don't give time frames, because I'm almost always wrong, and players seem to take it as a personal insult (as they did in this thread, when steig gave one).

Deathmonger Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Brain makes another point I was going to make yesterday which is that players are all guests in the owner(s)' zone. It's true that they open it up to the freeloading public because flying around an empty arena wouldn't be much fun, but houseguests should not make demands of their host like "I demand a timeframe for getting HBO on our cable service".

FruskyFurret Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 comon cut the owners some slack =) Quote

Sharpflame Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Is Hyperspace just really unlucky or what... It always gets shut down for some reason. I wish it were one of those zones like trench wars (in no other way like tw lol) that has 100+ players 24/7 and is always up lol but hs would be flooded with players, would be cool though. Quote
Shia' Tan Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 lol, that would be hardcore. 100+ Quote
Deathboy-evil Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 100+ players 24/7 and is always up lol but hs would be flooded with players, would be cool though. That's been a goal of mine for HS for a while.. but in order to get to that point.. you need to do several things.. which I've been trying to do.. Quote
Shia' Tan Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 oh. like what exactly lol. u didnt say much in the way of info there but what if we did have that many players. i dont think hs is big enaugh for that. 30 players seems crowded. and u cant have more than 6 peeps on a team. that would be like 8-10 flanking teams. more if on priv freqs Quote
nebulou Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 i would reaaaaaaly like hs back up sometime this weekend.. Quote
Suicide_Run Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 Its already up. Come and play lol Quote
Steigerwald Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Posted February 23, 2007 shes ready. sorry i was to busy to do it so it was put off but brain got her set up. as well as smong on other things Quote
Suicide_Run Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 As long as its up and rdy to go, I doubt people will complain steig. =) Quote
FruskyFurret Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 oh my god. i just started playing today and on my screen it said in green "Player 99 books has given you $499890". I didnt notice that until nebolu told me to type ?money to see how much money i had. I was going to tell nebolu how much i had an how much experience i had, and all of a sudden it said "your money has been set to $0" Thats fair and all but i get dced a second later, and its a ban. Someone please help me! im innocent. Nebolu would help verify this story. EDIT:Sorry if this is the wrong place, just thought it would bring more people to help me in this situation. P.S i spelt nebuolu wrong, im sorry. Quote
