sheesh

They nerfed slow & steady dungeon xp. And i believe they did some other tweaks. Obviously pushing people toward questing and away from grinding/doing dungeons. And the dungeon que scene have been suffering since.

Fun was detected.

The game peaked in 2023. For those who have played, you know this.

this.

Should be a pinned post in some section of the forum.

Written by a goblin ideally

but yes i thought about this actually - but then i thought that in times of AI this is kinda obsolete.
Why actually not though - perhaps it would help the community and the server actually (by virtue of leadng to more donations)

Done:

I hope that helps

TWoW did not have x2 baseline. With Warmode and Rested XP I think the max was 2. Which is the same as it is here. Exposing yourself for being uneducated, clueless and yes. You are pathetic for trying constant relogs during this time. If WoW is the only game you play, I suggest broadening your horizons instead of crying you can't play.

We had x2 XP on Tel'Abim actually. x2 baseline, x4 rested. The reason they changed it from x1 is because the server wasn't getting much more than 400 people. When i joined it was x2 baseline, so i was shocked that octo decided to make the pvp realm x1.

It's because they weren't taught to use ballpeen hammers effectively in their DDOS attacks.

Which means, the tool should be used on their balls and their peen PRIOR to attempting said mischief and it won't only collapse the servers, but also the devs' secret comm networks, and even these forums will slow down. The ultimate deadly trick.

A friend told me after testing it himself and he's all fine, even sent something like "OOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWOOOOWWWW" which apparently strongly relates to Octowow.

In my Opinion if RMT is involved the Server will die pretty fast. But yeah there are atm more urgent matters to solve. Today i was playing from 12-22 (EU Time) and i had probably 50 disconnects, some shorter some longer but its umplayable atm, no groups form, BGs unplayable...you can only quest and hope ure not dead after DC!

The RMT bans can be permanent for now as far as I am concerned, other things are now more important, like keeping players here.

No, Nord didn't. And he's not on the PvP server. Think before you become incendiary.

The oldest report is from yesterday. Is it possible that some trash is on the server?

yikes

@Kestrel

Maybe you should also consider using a modern library for server-side asynchronous logging, such as **spdlog**.

I briefly looked through the leaked code, and it seems like the server queries the database every time a player performs an action in-game. This can potentially be blocking and cause unnecessary database load.

I would recommend changing the architecture so that player data is kept in RAM while the server is running. Instead of writing to the database after every action, the server could update the in-memory data and periodically flush the changes to the database (for example, every 4–5 minutes) in bulk.

An old and not particularly well-optimized MMORPG server project might be useful as an example:

https://github.com/Open-KO/KnightOnline

In this project, user data and other important data are loaded from the database when the server starts. After that, the server works primarily with the data in RAM. Changes made by players are applied to the in-memory data rather than immediately writing to the database. Every 4–5 minutes, the updated data for all players is written back to the database in bulk.

This approach could significantly reduce the number of database queries and avoid unnecessary blocking during gameplay.

example of what i try to mention :

https://github.com/Open-KO/KnightOnline ... zerApp.cpp

check function bool EbenezerApp::OnStart()

every info loaded at start like item properties etc, so server just find and use them from RAM, same for user info and many other things.
