As from today Nevs010 has been promoted to Helper!

Congratulations, I'm sure you'll do a great job!

Network Lag

We are currently experiencing some network lag, this is only affecting players in certain countries but unfortunately I can't be more specific, although Europe seems worst affected, hopefully our hosting company will resolve this very soon!

I'll update here once I know more.

Update 17:40: Looks like the network lag was an unexpected side effect of a network change by our hosting company, they seem to have fixed it now!

Jackpot Winner!

Money Spreader

The maintenance now keeps track of the balances of players who's data is reset due to either not logging in for 60 days or more or being banned. Every so often (weekly for now) this total will be split equally between all players to help balance the economy, you will receive your share whether you are logged in or not!

For example:

Player 1 has a balance of $110,000 and gets banned.

Player 2 has a balance of $200,000 but has not logged in for 61 days.

Player 3 has a balance of  $90,000 but has not logged in for 61 days.

When the maintenance runs, the player data is removed and the total of $400,000 is logged.

At the end of the week the total number of players listed by /baltop is checked and found to be 1000, the $400,000 is divided by the number of players ($400,000 / 1000)  and then $400 is paid to every player, even if not logged in.

Hopefully that makes sense to everyone, the first payout was today and was $310!

Enjoy!

Down For Maintenance

The server is down down for maintenance as follows:

1. Full backup/clone - Done.
2. Clear out old data - Done.

Scheduled Downtime:

Date: 21/07/14

Started: 8:15 am (UK)

Finished:  09:30 am (UK)

Update: I had a short power cut whilst running the backup so it's going to take a little longer, I've added 15 minutes to the estimated finish time.

The server is now back up!
