In Tequila, click the options button, then type -uiskin 2 into launch parameters.

And today's post of the day goes to...

'sup?

Usually, zones aren't actually full, they're draining. There's a memory leak in mapserver instances once they've eaten up about 2 GB of RAM, so to prevent this we close off the map at 1.8 GB. It doesn't open back up.

Nemesis plot.

Regrettably, you are correct. It's been a busy month behind the scenes, but we hope to get back to doing events Soon™.

If I'm correct, this is just the standard respec glitch... try relogging and hopefully that will bring back slotted enhancements.

I would note that we're not really in the business of limiting options or significantly changing how the game works to appease a subset of the population. Also, I feel reasonably certain that your idea isn't actually possible; presumably the SG cap checks every character in the character db and doesn't check the auth db, which it would need to, since handles don't exist outside the chatserver. Rewriting the code in such a way would presumably be a horrific pain, and there are many other things our coders would rather spend their time on that would improve the experience for everyone rather than cause a riot. So, no, we're not going to set up joining SGs by account.

Until the situation gets settled, I'd say General Discussion is fine so long as CoH stuff doesn't get crowded out.

Yes, I was there, you know. ☺️ I asked about a generic "off topic" forum some weeks ago, and it got vetoed.

And if you do, perhaps we should call it Comic and Hero/Villain Culture?

I believe there are plans for red and goldside themes, we just want to get the blueside theme in a state everyone is more-or-less happy with first.

Part of your issue, I imagine, is that PMs here are stored as mini-threads. Because of the comically barebones way SMF handles PMs, every PM you had there is now an individual mini-thread. I suppose I'd suggest going through and seeing if you have any quote chains and deleting some of the excess there. When Cipher rises from his slumber, I imagine he'll look into it - a lot of the issues with limits are just default settings we didn't change.

There are database issues with raising the cap. Apparently, even the raise Paragon did up to 150 very nearly broke things, so it's not particularly likely anytime soon.

There were some unforeseen issues, but regardless of what the future holds, we're no longer planning to return to SMF now or in the future.

The official announcement is here, so go post there instead!

Alright, new new (maybe add a couple of new's...) plan: we're sticking with IPB for the moment and will be making adjustments as needed. We will not return to SMF at this point, but we may migrate away from IPB if things get too troublesome. An official announcement with more detail should be forthcoming.

Alright, as it turns out the call has been made to move back to SMF. Don't anticipate that any posts from the past day will be kept.

We're moving away from SMF entirely (to Invision), so yes.

Posts and accounts should be fine, barring a massive catastrophe. I cannot make any promises at this time about anything else (though I am trying to obtain clarity there!), so save any PMs that you're really attached to. EDIT: PMs should also carry over.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Our first priority is ensuring that everyone is able to play - and because of some networking issues at OVH, a fair few people, Cipher among them, find it difficult or even impossible to do so. It's my understanding that this issue needs to be resolved in some fashion before we proceed. Moreover, any development would be carried out as a side gig. People have actual jobs they need to attend to, not to mention families and other hobbies and so on, and all their hypothetical labor would be unpaid. Labors of love tend to move in fits and starts, and this one, I suspect, would be no different. I'm not usually one to preemptively lock threads, but this one has already stirred up fire and fury, so I think I shall. You're all free to start another thread on the topic, just in a, hm, less inflammatory manner.

7/19/19 EDIT: go, hunt, skull kils.

It's alive!
