Slacking? Yes. To come: Updates!

[Vanderlay]

I know most of us has been slacking a lot, well at least me.
Reason? Well i don't know.. I guess sometimes we all just need a break sometimes.

Bad news! For some reason i mixed up the dates, and it happen to be that the practical training starts in 2 weeks! I'm sorry to say this. But we will keep on working with the servers when we got time over..

Good news tho!
As I believe many of you know already, me and Talaturen are in the same class in school and now(starting at Monday next week), we have something called "Practical training" which means that we will go out and work for 3weeks.. Get some job experience etc..

Well, I spoked to our principal and managed to arrange so me and Talaturen could spend those 3 practical training weeks working with out OT-Servers!

This means the following:
We will spend 5-8hours/day working with the server.
15days total working days.
A LOT will be fixed!
Hopefully all bugs will be eliminated from our server when these 3 weeks are over.

Any ideas, suggestions or reports would be really useful to report now, as now we got plenty of time(hopefully I've written down all the bugs thats known already)!

Haha, kinda nice deal.

Altho you really should get serious practical training, working with other things.

 

[Chris]

Sounds really good. I'm not very active at the moment either, but you all knew that when 'hiring' me. Anyways I'll do my best to script some during this weekend and possibly the upcoming weeks.

Our school would not accept this if wouldn't be serious.
We have written an working plan etc, and they have looked into it and accepted it. Also, me and Talaturen goes in a computer school, so It's like real practical training.
Also, our programming teacher will see our work and etc, he will be our director.

 

[Yew]

Keep up with the good work! :thumbup:

 

[josejunior23]

Monsters:

* You should now be able to obtain Ankh from Monk.

Really Nice ((

 

[richux]

Lol! Well if I had ot like this, I would spent 5-8hours in day fixing bugs and making it more better. Doesn't matter if it would be simple day or some project. And bugs like-exori con-thats just lazyness. Ofcourse you don't have to spend all your life working on this ot, but still u could be more active.(no offense)

We don't have the time to spend 5-8hours working on a OT.
We end school everyday at 16:30, and we gotta sleep as well as we start 8:30 everyday.

Also we have dinner, freetime and outside life as well..
And believe me. Work 5-8hours a day with an OT everyday, and you will get bored easly.

 

[Urban Banan]

Just awesome!

Ah, cool. Nevermind then.

 

[Ilyin]

All I have to say is :
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYY

 

[richux]

@2up

WEll yeah, 5-8hours is too much and even now u won't spend so much time on ot. But like 1/4 of all theese things that are written there could be done in 1 day. U could just do them instead of making "to do" list. Anyways I know I haven't done so much in ot's to flame you, so chill...cya

 

[krille09]

I got something to say!

Pits of inferno dragon lords and dragons!

 

[Ullez]

Fix some stuff on rook like places where we can bot rots hahahaha jk
But more spawns, and fkn bears-.-

 

[Eckepecke]

Great to hear! :thumbup:


A few more things you can hopefully add is:

More spawns in poi dl's and fix the buggs in the Annihilator. As it is now, if you die in there the demons will still be down there. So when another team comes down they will have to face more demons than they usually should.

Reason for why we have a todo list is because we can now easly keep track on what needs to do etc.
Also we have a little secret project coming up.
More about that will be announced later ;]
