Dear Players,
Please accept our apology of not being more proactive with the release of information to the JX2 community regarding some of the issues we faced during the past month. We promise to improve our information management and to be more on top of the complains.
Regarding the issue of the WAR not starting
The issue is as of now not resolved by the game supplier Kingsoft, and as of today we can not predict the error. Normally the war event is started by the system at the scheduled times.
No manual intervention is needed by the GM or technical staff to start the war and no command exists to start the war if the system fails to start the war automatically.
Currently we suspect that the main reason for the failure to activate the WAR is a overload of the NPC due to several hundred players trying to access the same NPC at the exact same time. We are working with KingSoft to replicate the error and to find a solution to the problem.
Regarding outages or server under maintenance error
We have already set a long standing maintenance window every week Friday morning all servers are shutdown to do maintenance work and server upgrades. Please be assured we schedule every upgrade or needed work to occur between 2am to 7am Friday morning.
If there is an error any other time; this is due to a unexpected software or hardware failure.
Usually the problem can be fixed within 30 minutes after it has been detected, we therefor seldom post about the issue in the forum since the issue can be resolved very quickly once detected. However we will reconsider this and try to provide more information about outages on our www site.
Regarding Norkor Phnom
Up one opening the new world last week, we had such overwhelming demand that the system got stuck handling thousands of players try to register and play in the new world.
One Friday the 5th when we opened the world; new account registration jump 1000% (one thousand per cent) and until today is still around 200% higher then before the opening of Norkor Phnom.
The issue with not being able to go to certain areas in Norkor Phnom has been resolved and we have manged to improve the server load to serve the thousands of player wanting to play in Norkor Phnom.
We apologies for not carefully enough considering the demand for our new world and we will improve on this for future launches.
Thank you for your support and understanding
Regards Mike Gaertner
PS: My apologies for my absents in the forum during the last few weeks we have been busy restructuring our data center and to add much needed capacity for the increase in JX2 usage.
