Technical News
Posted by: marcovtwout | Posted on: 18-03-2008 @ 20:23
| Server population has been dropping lately because of connection trouble, high latency, freezes, etc. For weeks it was unclear what the reason for these issues was. After someone gave us a tip this afternoon, we discovered our host is to blame. Now we finally discovered the reason for these troubles, it's time to find a solution. *It seems the problems are finally fixed now, give it a try! Our long-time GMs Lambda and Iota (also from our old server) are assigned the Co-Administrator position. This is just another step in improving the staff structure, and sharing certain responsibilities. We assigned forum moderators to keep the place tidy, check out this topic for details. If you are still interested in positions for developer, there is room! The current developer staff didn't pass it's trial, we have room for 3-5 developers.

Expanding server staff
Posted by: marcovtwout | Posted on: 01-03-2008 @ 11:53
| During last week I received about 70-80 applications for GM or developer positions! This weekend we will be deciding who get's selected for trial positions. First of the month came, and everyone got their invite restocked. Be selective who to send it to, since you only have 1. ;) Here are the results of the staff additions! Game Masters: - Gremnok - Kappa - Kalika - Chi - Ekarlate - Pi Developers: - Highjack - Domukas First week or two is used for trial, let's wish them the best of luck. :) |  |
Staff Changes and Closing Registrations
Posted by: marcovtwout | Posted on: 05-02-2008 @ 23:04
| Today we hit the 1000 player online mark. Congratulations to everyone! :) It's a new month, voting lists have been reset. This month we will be giving out some nice rewards to those who vote, so watch the Top Voters page, and vote twice a day. All counts have been reset. The top 10 that voted until now can expect a little extra bonus as well. :) We removed a couple of staff members to do some cleanup, and create room for new members. Daede and Devildog are removed for inactivity. We also removed Requiem, Epsilon and Zeta for not putting the GM rights to good use, in cases even abuse. Soon we could have another round of recruiting new GMs and developers. Since the server reached a fair average amount of players, it's time to stabilize population. Open registrations are now disabled. We are now using an invite system. Users that registered before december 2007 have received 1 invite credit per account. You can find a link in your profile section to send a invite code to a friend so he can create his account. Invites will be restocked from time to time. The profile section has had a small make over. The protect-a-char thing is fixed now and your character stays protected also after logins. |  |
Updated to Patch 2.3.3
Posted by: marcovtwout | Posted on: 31-01-2008 @ 17:39
| Mangos officially supports 2.3.3 now so we have updated our servers. Again, everyone is asked to update their clients accordingly. You can update by running WoW from the Launcher.exe (just once), or download the patch from this link. After patching, you have to set your realmlist file again to logon.alphawow.net Update notes can be found here. Latest Mangos updates also includes a fully working Guild Bank, give it a try! To review on the past months, we're happy to see the server is doing much better now. With player counts seen above 800 last weekend, we are all back on track. :) |  |
