The Hacker Project - a free online game

5 hrs til someone can activate the 10th Rev....what do you all think....should I allow this??  Do we think Emi is up to date with what needs to be done with this game???  Speak now or forever hold your peace.....Tick Tock...Tick Tock...   :bodyguard:

I say prevent it

the new mission is bugged

ip database still needs adjusting to make usable

malware virii code not activated ? or said completed - unless i missed it

new user timeout emails on forum and game not implemented

huge list of tasks and possible solutions given to emi still not even acknowledged let alone implemented.

i say the users should make a list of demands :P

theres my 2c

I'd say prevent it for as long as possible, to prevent bugs with the new content...

Ok...I am hearing from the Pro-Faith people...wheres the voices of the Pro-Rev people???  I know your out there...you keep installing Rev Virii and nuking my server.....if you don't wish to reply in forum then message me ingame and give me your 2 cents....maybe someone will persuade me to give up my quest of the bug free round three......anyone????      :bodyguard:

Lol Im tired of this round...I say go rev!

To be honest, im torn. Im too am tired of this round, but like you, i really want a bug-free round 3.

I do have an idea though. If this round was to end soon, how about we have a 2-week testing period with ALL the new features implemented fully, during which time i would suggest it doesnt take up gold players' days, that way, people wont be complaining and everyone gets what they want, i know two weeks isnt long, so its not gonna kill anyone :)

I hope you take this suggestion seriously titam, as i mean it sincerely, There are lots of people here who are willing to help find/fix bugs, and those of us that are online nearly 24/7 (with nothing else to do for now *lol*) would gladly do a two week tester, because in the end its helping make this game better for ourselves. I know i know, im not trying to speak for other players, i wouldn't mind it at all, heck..im suggesting it, and i know there are quite a few like-minded players here, so im sure im not the only one who would.

I myself say end this round I mean there are always going to be bugs as long as the game keeps changing.

With what has been changed in the game this round it has totally changed the game and how it is played. It is very limited now on ways of making money. I have servers that can do tons of research but without the income of a farm it does not do any good. I am at a point where doing research is not cost effective. By the time I get a decent income going on servers the ip's are going to change. and I will have to work from ground 0 again.

There really has to be a way to set up a base income (a farm) to substain research and hardware upgrades and as of now that is not going to happen untill the next round. the robber software will not be there untill then.

I do agree with you Gin that the round should be ended by the players the ones that are active in the game. I do not think that major updates that change the game play should be implimented in a current round. If Emi wants to make changes it should be at the start of a round not in the middle of one. If he wants changes to be test he can have another server to run them and put some players on it to try out the changes.

The only way to stay with this round as I see it is to reset the server back before the fraction update. I do  not think that is going to happen so we might as well move on with what we have and start a new round.

Thank you Cookie....I can't say i'm gonna change my mind but you have indeed weakened my resolve with a rather simple and logical argument.

I do wanna hear from Emi thou in regards to the idea Damascus presented that this round end and then a 2 week rollout of round 2.5 to test all the to be released round 3 updates and just make sure they are as solid as he says...in which case Emi can do a manual reset and let the real round 3 begin.....What do you think Emi? Sounds like a fair idea to me.

I can agree with that as well a beta test for a couple of weeks to work out the bugs would be nice.

I personally think Titam should do as was suggested almost a year ago.  Create a 2nd server as a test server.  Heck he can even port all of the current rounds data so the testing is done from current power etc.

After all that is how serious MMO's do things.  And I would like to think Titam wants this to be a serious MMO.

he has a test server already set up - but as yet only 2 updates were sent to it.

no idea why he doesnt send loads there for testing and announce the location so those interested in helping could help etc.

9 of 10 revs activated... What are you going to do, Gin? Wait for emi's answer?

Revelation day
10 of 10 installed

Well you have my answer.   Congrats to everyone in the Top 10 and see ya all next round.

Good luck to everyone in the next round I guess...  :12:

Means I'm starting to play actively, since I came back a month ago....

Yes lets hope to have a round free of major changes

Congratulations to the Top 10!

I'll be testing and testing this last 24 hours to make sure there are no bugs in R3.

Once the new round starts, I'm going to start our advertising campaigns and get the new players to play. Hopefully, I can do a basic group update with ingame group boards so you can organize your groups in R3.


I'm sorry we can't do the beta testing that you wanted.

So why not do a round for a week while you impliment and finish updates so we can check for bugs and then do a manual reset and start a real round???

So you're putting bugs into the code  :shifty:

Smooth  :13:

Why you cannot do that beta testing?

Pleae, give us a reason.

omg  :laugh: no bugs no bugs  :5:

It's simply time consuming and most of the players will not understand why a new round has to end so soon. By the end of the two weeks, no one will want another reset.

I was meaning around why not giving access to the players to the beta server and implement there the new fuctions. What around 2 weeks from implementation in beta to implementation on live game?

The beta server could have increased rates for all the game mecanics, to allow quick growing and full testing of new fuctions.

x10 on all tasks time for the beta server would not be so bad.
x10 on all hardware for the beta server would be just.... cool!!!

You could disable the rankings, the fall of fame, and the ingame messaing, in order to optimize DB usage.

Way to join the beta server:
-PM you ingame so you copy our user/pass to the beta server
-Periodicly user table backups from DB where server, messages, ranks, hpd and soft are cleaned. then a script could fill the gaps ;)

What around it, siremi?

Uhm...

A new round i wanted for sometime since the faction update, now i get it and all because of the once installing Rev:D And my last 0.1 that were ready to install:D

Well first round= Pro faith
Second round= Pro Rev
third round= Pro ????

Congratz to top 10

And let's have a good new Round 3:D
