OMG THE FISH RANKING SYSTEM BROKE FIX IT FIX IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how many fish ranking updates have you seen since this expansion came out? yeah thats right.

Hostel

they are fixing real problems, like the strange activity on the warhorse hoofprint, or maybe the fact some people are getting into the new areas unreleased early (see banned guy in another thread)
but yeah, its not a fishing fix, and probably not a botting fix, or a sea fix, its just some broken stuff in the new areas that people like... and more 3kings drama threads

Real problem? Hoofprint was a glitch. They always fixed those rapidly

Note: I didn't actually use the Runic Portal to get there, just thought I'd give it a shot. That's the entire conversation, except for the last line which I didn't capture, because he disconnected me immediately afterwards. I believe it was "I will now remove you from Vana'Diel."

[Vobent]

Question. How would one go about breaking a zone?

The developers would not be working on that particular copy of the zone; they would have a master file somewhere on a test server or not even attached to the server. So even if you could do something that is potentially harmful to the zone, the damage would be undone the next time the zone is reset and all of the variables are set back to their default values, like say during maintenance when they actually make the zone go live...

The issue is, we have no idea of really just how FFXI is coded, only rough ideas via hacks.

Who's dumb enough to not backup their software for when it breaks? It's just like backing up important files on your HD for when it crashes. It doesn't take a genius to copy stuff onto a CD or another HD for safe keeping.

PS. Raineer, your sig made me lol

[Ichthyos]

I don't think it's an issue of the code they've written for the zone being irrepairably damaged. As someone already pointed out, they mess with things on Atomos until the code is ready to go live. What I think Danuve was referring to is that there might be some state of Nyzul that wasn't supposed to be toggled until people have legitimate access to the zone. Like, if the ToAU enemy forces had started prepping for Besieged before we had access to the boat quest, we wouldn't have had the Astral Candy when it started.
