With the new server here it will soon be time for further server testing. You may see two versions of the same module up on different machines, two different mods, or possibly no mods at all.
This should just be over the next week. Direct connections may be changing as well, so please check the forums and this topic every now and again for the latest news.
Cheers!

I am closed testing the two servers running the exact same copy of FRC. This will only be up for about another hour. I am just seeing which has a better ping.
Cheers!

Hmmm... I probably shouldn't have just logged in and reloaded the module because I thought the password was stuck then. Sorry about that. (I hope it doesn't screw up your test.)

For testing purposes the server port will be 5122 today. Please alter your direct connect port if you wish to enter the server this way.
Cheers!

The server IP address for direct connect will be 65.16.91.133:5122 sometime later today. This will probably only last until tommorow unless we see radical improvement in server performance. In the latter case this will be the main server for FRC from now on and the old server will become the secondary.
This will also determine how deep we need to go on the server split. Please use this new direct connect IP until further notice.
Cheers!

Anyone else having trouble connecting to this IP right now or is it just me? It appears down to me.

The server seems to have crashed... but on the bright side before it did it had wonderfully low ping and seemed to be pretty stable.
I unfortunately put it on a NWNX2 restart program and I hadn't disabled Dr. Watson on the server computer yet so I doubt it is coming back up tonight.
I will get it back on in the morning and please do use this IP.
Thanks!

FRC will be down this morning while I upgrade the server and take care of a slight error I made yesterday while importing characters to the server vault. I hope to have the server back up by noon on the new IP address.

I would assume that would be Central Standard Time. But that is just a guess. |

Everything I say is in CST which is GMT (-6).
Anyway, server is up and ping looks deliciously improved.
Cheers!

Ok this is a problem. With the improved ping I noticed a couple of things that really disconcerted me.
1. Firing missile weapons. I always used to aim ten to fifteen feet behind an advancing monster, knowing that they would slide back and run into my arrows, darts, or whatever. Now I consistently miss because they just keep moving forward.
2. Actions happen immediately. When I click on a location, I expect to wait 3 to 5 seconds before I actually start moving. Now, I just move there immediately! What the!!! I need that time to prepare before actually moving!
3. People in the inn appear immediately. I used to run over to Kale's bar and grab a couple of bottles of beer before he got there. Kept me in free drinks. Now, he shows up right as I enter the inn and I've had to pay for all my drinks!
This immediacy is making me dizzy!
So who do I complain to about this?
P.S. Y'all are awesome.

Am I the only one who can't see the server? When I try to Direct Connect, it says Incorrect password, but it's nowhere to be seen otherwise... not in Favorites, not in History and not under Roleplay. It happened after a reset, so perhaps the DM who reset the server would know what happened? And it was doing very well, by the way.  |

All maintenence is done for the time being. Hopefully there will be few interuptions in the near future. Thanks for your patience though. |

I must say this... I've just played for some time and with 14-16 players online at any given time I'm actually getting ZERO lag... yipee! Good work, you guys... or guy. Whatever you've done has sure helped.  |

Laurk sent me a message saying that the lag beast has been slain, and that FRC is stunning. I am stoked to hear that you heeded my advice Justi and got it all figured out before I came back. Thanks again for all your ball busting work amigo, and that goes for all the other staff members who work so hard to make this place kick rocks! |
