Why the world didn't end?

CHEAT! Sk8 was faster, you reposted it just to earn karma :P

LMAO I don't need Karma :)

Haven't seen sk8's post.... looks... ahh a link. Lazy! Bad Karma for sk8! Bad Karma for you! Bad Karma for everyone!

 muwhahaha

 Actually - i had to laugh - I noticed Millamare is at Level -3 Karma! hahaha

That is some crazy good news.  Now, about that whole "4th of July event" thing...

Publish to PTS in August, but you notice he didn't say August of what year?

;-)   j/k Fracas.  Keep at it.  Glad to see you are trying to publish U content at the same time. 

Ok...I'm going to play the dummie here and ask a couple questions.

First is it says content is currently on QA....What and where is QA?  Second dummie question is .. What is Lineage U?

Ok....now everyone knows I'm not the smartest cookie in the jar....but cookies need answers too :-)

awww by publishing both at the same time.. we'll be missing some golden opportunity that episode has.. but episode U rocks... so many new features..

oh yea.. Episode U just changed the deathmatch sequence and made it more fun =)

I hear in epi 6 Dark Elfs are getting summons.....o.o     If i say it enough will it come true???????????

Seems fracas decided to turn a blind eye ever growing bot problem yet again, and string us along with more promises of progress, yay. This time he even went so far as to say the decrease in players is due to late content rather than adressing the real issues that push people out of their hunting areas and as a result push them out of lineage.

And yes, QA = Internal Test Server, which means there is a working copy of epU, they just have to find/resolve bugs on internal test, throw it on live test to stress-test it and resolve any other bugs the bots that run live test decide to submit, and publish to live servers.

id rather fracas put episode 6 now, then realse episode U couple months later

lol a couple of months later by ncsoft terms kould me a year or two. i have learned that if they give a estimete on things means its goin to be a lonnnnnnnnnngggggggg time b4 u see anything

What most people don't realize is that Fracas' post contained almost no substance whatsoever. It was a lot of platitudes and rhetoric, but nothing substantive. 

It should also be pointed out, that it should be no wonder why it takes them so long to do anything, if all of NCA's departments function (or dysfunctions...) in the same manner as their Support department and Unhelpful Desk.

the only substantial thing he said is epU is at QA -> IE internal test

 other than that, just blabber.

Damn, I was hoping a few more people would quit before Fracas gave people hope... hahaha

theres not much hope in his post... epU should hit public test in about 2 months, and NC doesn't consider bots a big enough problem to even mention.

I dont blame you for thinking that way... but it seems that everyone is to busy thinking about the cloud of bad that hung over the last year, to see the ray of good that shows in Fracas' post.

Its like you are all just ignoring it because you are too pissed off about the horrible things of the last year.

 Epi U hitting test in 2 months is a huge sign of hope that things are turning around. We are only at 1 and a quarter year since an episode release.  But instead of getting one episode after that huge gap, we are getting two. That will have us caught up. Over a year for one episode is dismall, a year for 2 episodes is better than NC has done in a long time. It just depends on how you look at it. 

 People are let down and disappointed with Fracas' post. I am curious what you would have had him say (that would be feasible) that would have made you happy to hear. Apparently the release of two new episodes doesnt cut it as good news. The news that new people are being brought to the team to help things turn around, doesnt cut it as good news. I think he said everything he could have said. And we all know what the reaction would have been had bots/cheaters been brought up in his post. 

 And it may not be a ray of hope for most users, but the mere mention of Mac Users was a good thing to hear for me. 

   If finally hearing from Fracas, and it being good news, is not what you guys were looking for to keep you playing the game, then it may not be worth it for you to stay because you will continually be disappointed. And whats the point in staying if its just a disappointment to be here.

Got Blog?

August, mid August, end August, or just plain we will see it in August? B

Good news =

 we have banned 750 accounts and deleted 25 billion adena.

oh, and

 we have found and tracked adena selling accounts, and all accounts that purchased adena from them are being rolled back to the nearest account save prior to the purchase.

 that would be a start.
