We had like what, a dozen servers back then? It'll get there and likely scale with the community.

Better to limp along on the path to recovery than to have died for good 7 years ago.

Maybe post in the AT threads?

We're not at the point where Live vs Test can really be a thing yet. Especially since these servers may not even be in the same country right now, let alone the same team.

Eh, I don't like bothering people for things I can find a way to do myself. That and I remember doing it before in OG where it could take a whole play session before someone bothered to respond or even be on the same server.

It was used quite a lot for those with smaller, more private/casual SGs that would have thematic groups. So like with mine I'd have a 2nd account with an alt per SG whose sole existence was to allow you to add more alts from a single account into the Same SG. True, many would PL a toon to test out powers, so in our current state that wouldn't be all that fair with resources, but the SG add wouldn't take but a couple minutes.

Any clue how to trigger a second instance? Back in the day you could simply click the exe a second time and login with a 2nd account, but IDK how it works with this Tequila thing.

Yes, you Must get onto the server.

Not likely, they seem to go down for emergency maintenance and that's not a brief time. I was in the middle of just that as I got Almost into the tutorial but the game glitched and wouldn't let me go either way. What you CAN do is save some time by making the costume while offline in Icon first and simply import it afterwards. That said, icon is missing a bit like weapons, shields, etc.

I spent an hour or so working on the base as soon as I got the nerve to try recreating my SG. The server went down before I could test it in player mode.

IIRC, @Global has nothing to do with Character names. Odds are the issue is simply everybody "dry-hugging" the server at once.

*sniffles* This was the Only game I'd ever played (ok, so I really didn't MMO beyond GW before hand) where I would get to witness/hear of families being created and even children being born. This was one of the few places where I found an outlet for creativity. I can't draw worth crap, but I seem to be able to stor/RP pretty well. I hate things like Minecraft, but the base building was epic. It kept me from sinking in tons of money every month on stuff that would fizzle out or I'd get bored with. The only downside of it coming back is I have a ton of that kind of stuff on my consoles waiting to get finished. >.<

Back then and since, there was a lot of "Only popular in the West" type games that floundered in their home market of Korea. It would have been cool if they'd just drop the home market and let the other flourish, but as the previous person stated, other things were happening and all negotiations failed at that point.

So a thought occurred just now as the 2nd server came online (can't wait to see the background on that). A lot of us have deep ties to certain servers, SGs, etc as well as regions of the world (this isn't a USA only game!). Back in i2-ish I believe I chose Pinn because it was an East Coast / USA server (unless I'm wrong) and only occasionally "wandered" onto the other servers for the rather silly notion of preserving a small group of my character names (that I NEVER had trouble creating!). Going forward, we're likely to see a new world of i24/i25 and new servers. We're already sitting on two completely non-OG names, so how important will it be to try to rebuild the old on a stable new platform? Should we bother or simply stick to specific OG chat groups? Overall, this all fits great into the lore in general. :p

There "might" be, but it'd be easier to make a new one since it's all free*.

This, it happened a lot when switching characters back then I remember if I was too quick.

Because I'm quite sure somebody's self-PL'ing/SG Inviting by now... How does multiple accounts work again? I know it has something to do with a 2nd account and instance, but I forgot how that worked or if it even works on this current server. EDIT: It seems that the current setup makes this easy, so long as you've made another account. To trigger another instance simply press Play again and it'll launch a new one. Mind you, please try to limit the time spent in a 2nd account until we have green/yellow server loads to be fair for others.

And Obviously SGs are working

Bases are up, but it's not quite the way I remember as there's a TON more extras and it doesn't restrict where I put things (by type).

*sips on something strong* Yo!

I understand where you're coming from, but like someone else said, it's too easy to cheat that way. And to extend upon the costume thing, that's why we have the Icon app!

Best way to handle something like this since there's a lot of Feels related to this and it's one server instead of however many we had.

Moral of the story (and life): D.B.A.D. (because D-Bag was already taken :p)
