Hey All!

Now is the time you have been waiting for, we are putting up a new update shortly – the floodgates are open for logging any and all bugs. Please note that the servers will be down for a short time and we will make a post when they are brought back up.

Just as a reminder, please take your time when logging a ticket, making sure you are as clear as possible which makes it easier for us to locate and reproduce the issue. For those who are unfamiliar with reporting bugs, the easiest format to do is the “Where, What, and Expected Result” method.

- Where: Location in the game where the error is happening
- What: This specific error occurs when “this happens” or performing an action
- Expected Result: This is what you think should happen.

Known issue for this update:

In the Portal Well: You will have to Wand all of the crystals each time in order to open the Portal to the Majestic Realm.

Happy Bug Hunting!

Yay!

(I assume the /dumplogs command is not available since we don't have a KI)

What kind of logging? Will we have .elf files again now? If so, how do we turn on the logging?

Hmmm, /dumplogs might be available. Haven't tried it.

Also, one more note. With this build you will be able to play multi-player. Everybody that types in the same name in the Realm field will share the same game instances.
BTW, this field will be renamed to "Domain" in the released product. Realm will be what we used to call in UruLive an Age.

Thanks,
Chogon

Any hints as to what the Realm names are?

So, if I and someone else type in "Rutabaga", we will both be in the Rutabaga Realm? Will there also be lots of veggies? Cool.

Will logging work on the MQOLauncher download itself? I can't get beyond that point.
If so, how would I turn that on or will I get a .elf log by default?

Sorry to appear dense (or to BE dense) Chogon, but do you mean that we should time one of those three Realms in the REALM field of the login screen if we wish to end up in the same game for multiplayer testing? And if not, what should be typed in that field?

I've got the new update but can't get authenticated. Believe me, I'm the Authentic Zardoz!!! Probably just jumping the gun ...

No, the Realm field on the login screen is mis-named. It should be "Domain". So, to play multiplayer, everybody that wants to play together has to put the same identical text in that field when the log in.

To play by yourself, leave that field blank.

Ok, so I think I understand - at this moment we can type whatever we want there so if I type Blorfloog and someone else does then we will end up in the same instance...

If anyone else wants to join me.....happy to see you in um the Blorfloog instance
