Also, the default server thing is a glitch in the data. Those server populations do not double overnight, it's essentially just counting every login from the default server twice for some reason.

Well that explains a lot.

I will never understand why Severlin feels the need to draw a line in the sand whenever hey trips up. He's really like a 13 year old girl, trust me I know.


  There are few things more important to incompetent bosses than appearance. I often imagine The DDO section at turbine must be damned close to "The Office" With Severlin as Michael Scott and Cordovan as Dwight.

Turdbine should bend over backwards to encourage smart people who contribute to their game for free

They would have probably just banned him.  Cheesy

There is some bending over going on at Turdbine HQ, but I doubt it is backwards.
  

Fuck Off, That is all

I've talked to the guy that owns DDOracle in game. (Sadly, he doesn't play anymore though.) Logging out to swap character does not count. You have to actually close the client and reopen.

Also, the default server thing is a glitch in the data. Those server populations do not double overnight, it's essentially just counting every login from the default server twice for some reason.


How does he get the data and why can't Turbine stop him?
Are the login servers secure?
Doubt Turbine would want it out there.

- He is using the old ( deprecated ) API... while the DDO related APIs are obsolete and useless, the GLS related ones are still working.

  Turbine gave us ( players ) the APIs to get a lot of interesting data ( if we bothered to ) long ago... then they deprecated them, then after
a power outage, the server hosting them was dead.

- The login server is as secure as any server visible on the Internet.

- Well at one time they didn't care since they gave us the API...

Turbine did stop him, in their own inimitable way. They made the game so  boring he quit  Embarrassed

As to not wanting it out there, well, it's complicated. A successful company wants it out there, seeing others are playing a game attracts people. Look at how many games build in the Steam API "hours played" feature.

It's only when a game starts to flag that those login numbers become a problem. And by that point, admitting your game is so bad you have to hide the numbers makes it even worse. It's like a stock getting de-listed on the NASDAQ, when it happens it's hard to get investor confidence back.

BTW, a server merge is a similar two edged sword, it sends a clear "this game is dying" message with better press coverage than your last expansion pack got. Yeah it can temporarily boost the concentration of players, but it's clearly a move of desperation and getting just about anything else to work is preferable.

We live in the Facebook age, trying to hide behind "vast and mysterious" doesn't work anymore, it just marks you as horribly out of touch.
  

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

My thoughts on the whole server merge thing is this. If nobody wants to play with your retarded as now, what makes you think a merge is going to fucking help you anyway?

Exactly this. The reasons people aren't grouping now are not ones that a server merge will fix. And at this point, there are probably more people who really care about PvP than about PUG grouping. Turdbin, applying the wrong solution to fix the wrong problem.

He who, SeverancePay? I think all he ever watches is recordings of speeches he made into a camera. Voltron is too much creativity for his brain to handle (and no, that's not praise for Voltron).

Good question. I forget. Let's just apply it to whoever thinks a server merge will slay the lagmonster.

Hi KNN, did you know that I can prove that you are lying or if you are telling the truth (no chance) in just five easy steps?

As long as you willing take part, I have made all the needed  arrangements with Strake to conduct that 5 step test in a way that will not only guarantee your privacy and anonymity. But also sort things out once and for all, I made the arrangements just in case you tried to come back.

So what if even with Strake's guarantee you still refuse to take part in this process?.... well then everyone here will finally have 100% proof that you are a delusional fantasist. 

But if you do take part and are proven to be telling the truth it is safe to say that you will pretty much own the Vault, no joke it will be all yours because I know for one that if you are telling the truth (near impossible) I will be choneing immediately, as will many friends.

Let me be very clear, as of right now those are your only two choices, your only two. You willingly take part in a very simple process or by trying to avoid the truth you will be outed as a joke for the umpteenth time and laughed out of the Vault by your own hand. 

To be fair I'm going to give you a several hours to decide, I will check back later, tomorrow morning. 

In the meantime I'm going to ignore ALL AND ANY POSTURING that you will no doubt engage in right after I post this, none of it matters to me, I only am interested in seeing this settled once and for all, you and your racist ignorance tire and bore me.

To that end I will ignore all your characteristic nonsense until I post a brand new thread in this forum tomorrow  morning. In that thread I will ask you for your decision,  giving you the opportunity to publicly either agree or refuse to take part in the simple 5 step test. I won't be entertaining any stories, excuses, abuse, I will only be looking for a yes or no answer.

Additionally you can PM me if you have any questions, and let me know your intentions or concerns you may have. But come the time I post that thread asking for your answer it will all be on you.

-Agree and we will be able to complete the 5 easy steps by the end of the day all while maintaining your anonymity.

-Or, refuse and every single person here on the vault will know that you are a liar terrified of being exposed. And I would guess that you will be given a rather nasty and embarrassing Vault title and Icon.

Play time is over KNN, it's time to put up or be a joke forever.


Thank you for your time.
