Is there any chance of you raising the ping limit/removing it? I live out in the boonies, with satellite internet being my only option. I get good download speeds (1-2mbps) but my ping always hovers between 800 and 900. It doesn't affect me, it doesn't affect other players, no issues in FPS games/RTS/Other PZ servers, etc. it's just that high because it's satellite.

Server is back up, now updated to IWBUMS Build 28 :)

 

I've also added some tags to this topic as I saw I had forgotten to do so earlier (oops).

 

There's still a few things that might need testing, but you should be able to log in and play. Some players are having trouble logging in still, and if you find yourself to be one of them please let me know through private message, and I'll do my best to help you.

Ping limit is new to me, and to be honest I'm not sure how to set it or change it. I'll look into it.

I've died 2 times almost instantly because all of a sudden the hordes just turn and run towards you (I would think they heard a gunshot or something) but when it happens once every 5 mins it begins to get irritating and I can't roleplay or anything because I need to stay where I am because of the huge number of zombies, and I need to look for food because everything is looted clean.  :???: It really takes a lot away from the roleplay when there is THAT many zombies in the town, I mean I would understand it if there came a horde by (and I think that's also the lore you went with) but I can't even stand still and write a note or anything because they just run in and kill you (and you can't clear them out either because there's no weapons beside spoons (which isn't that great))

So I'll be waiting some time till more than half of the pop of zombies is killed so I might be able to roleplay. (and I get that it's survival and all, but have you tried to start a new character and see how long you can survive? because it's almost near impossible) :-|

There are places that are near-zombie free, you just need to look around for them. :)

The zombie-count is a thing that's constantly up for debate - people have very different preferences, some want a lot of zombies, some want very few. So unfortunately there's no way to make everyone happy. Recently there were zero zombies because they were killed off very fast. Since then, the town has been overrun, so there's a lot of them right now.

When the stable build is released I'll balance it further, and hopefully the spawn system will work better, so there will be a steady stream of zombies and loot, rather than just what's there upon reset.

I understand the current situation,

though I must agree with Liva:

 

I planned to reside in the warehouse @ the NE edge of Muld and there were 200-300 zombies surrounding from all sides.

That would take at least 10 shotgun boxes to deal with. So, the sheer number is un-"realistic" as is the effort needed.

Even if the initial struggle to claim the property is deemed as fun, if those zombies were to respawn in the immediate area, it would prevent that site from being a valid spot for RPing. And for the maintenance to be the same ammount as the purchase of the property (in blood) that's overly expensive real estate.

PvPers want PvP, and since you can outrun a horde, "Insane" zombie pop is not needed for them. RPers want to take a breather and hold a conversation, so tedious ammounts of zombies doesn't help them. Lastly there's PvEers... may appreciate the "challenge" but the charm wears off if a player kills too many hordes out of necessity and gets bored.

 

Not to mention, I've been to servers with "Beastly" specs and they "suscept" themselves to lag for the sake of "Insane" zombie pop.

So yes, zombie respawning needs some work, but at least for now I would refrain from "Insane" zombie pop on any server due to ^.

 

P.S. Still wondering where most players reside in, Muld or WP? ;o

Since the last automated restart script was lost in the recent Hard Reset, right now the only way to restart the server is for me to manually go in and press the button. I check as often as I can, but it's not the optimal situation. However, I'm in contact with fragnet and they will look into getting a new script for the server tomorrow.

If you're arranging something special like filming, I'd be more than happy to help you make sure the server is up. Just let me know in advance what time you plan on doing your thing and I'll let you know if I can be there. :)

 

If you can't seem to connect even when other people seem to be able to, please contact me through PM and I'll do my best to help figure out what the problem is and find a solution.

Lol why did I get a warning, i wanted an rp session this server was down and no one else was on the other one.

 

If you want to discuss it then PM me.

 

You got the point because regardless if the server was up or down, you shouldn't advertise a server in someone elses thread. It can be considered an attempt to hijack/derail the thread for your own purpose. Just because the server might of been down at the time, doesn't mean you get the right to attempt to direct people to another server.

 

Don't continue this discussion in this thread.
