What's up with Zeth transfers?

[Jellydonut 2]

It's been three weeks since you made the announcement. AQ and ZG are out. Can we get some details now, like when?

[Myllz 8]

Soon™

I  feel you man. I would love another post about it from the admins as well. But sadly, it's all on their time.

I'm tired of seeing 1100 people online while I'm at work, then getting home to 700 people online. Fucking awesome server.

Maybe reroll Elysium? Since there shouldn't be transfers anyway.

Transfers are no easy task, I apologize that there hasn't been much news regarding this, but that is simply because there isn't much to say. It is still being worked on, but it is something that will take time.

I call BS. How hard can it be to copy and paste from the character database?  If you're waiting for the server lease to expire at the end of the month, then why not just say so?

Jelly you obviously are inexperienced with this. It's called duplicate names, duplicate guild names, and how exactly to deal with them. Before you call BS on a GM make sure you don't make yourself look like a tool and fool combo.

Transfer is not an easy task to do, especially when you give the possibility to transfer to whatever servers you want.

If we had only two servers, that would be easier/faster, indeed. (like nostalrius tokens)

@jellydonut here is a xanax to chill, pal.  i'm very positive this is also voluntary work so don't forget some people have their lives to attend to while they do this huge amount of free labor for us.  patience is a skill.

much love to the elysium team pulling the weight. :)

After that Op i hope and know that all will be correct and perfect. But make sure that jellydonuts account only get copy pastet and dont work after transfering :)

[Jellydonut 2]

Obviously you fools don't know anything more about this then I do. If you did, then you'd be able to cite valid reasons why it's so complicated. So far the best anyone has been able to do is duplicate names, which is (or should be) a non-issue - they just get an "x" added to the end, problem solved.

It makes little difference that people can transfer to multiple realms - they'll just be copying to multiple character databases. The process would still be the same.

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. How about you research the kronos merge before you open your mouth.

How would you deal with other unique identifiers, such as the characterID or guildID?
I'm not talking about names here (where adding an extra character could be problematic if it exceeds the allowed cellsize). I'm talking about identifiers.

This is as complicated as transferring every @hotmail account to a @gmail account. Should be copy paste right?

Plz give us the information about the merge as soon as possible. Especially if there will be limitation of how much supplies can u take from Zeth to Ely

[indi 10]

Anyone know how I can transfer to Feenix?

[Jellydonut 2]

Still waiting for somebody to say something intelligent about why transfers are so "complicated" beyond simply "they are".

How are unique IDs any different from names? If two (or more) would be the same, then you change some in a predetermined way. It ain't rocket science. Yes it's work (editing code), but effort =/ complexity.

Well, First of all, I suggest you install MangOS on your own computer. Then make 11 accounts on it, with 11 characters, and make them join the same guild. Then reinstall mangos on your pc again, on different folder, and with different SQL database names. Run that server, make another 11 chars & a guild with SAME NAMES as the first time. After that, see how long it takes you to combine the databases without fucking anything up. After you've done that, Multiply the time spent by roughly 1000, and come back telling how "easy" it was.

 

No, I haven't tested my example myself, but have been playing around with MySQL & MariaDB enough to know when to shut up with "what's-so-hard" - questions.

It is not as simple as a simple 'Copy>Paste' In due time it will happen. And as Zua said, people have other things to do. It's a free project. It's coming, please be patient.

In due time. Kinda like how the server has been down for a day now with no official announcement (supposedly a mention of it in Discord).  Let's face it, the dead server is their last priority.

[Hamblin 0]

??? There isn't any server that is down.

The server is not down and hasn't been for a while - we broke the server status page when we moved it to a new host and haven't reconfigured this yet.

merge us plz daddy, i'm quivering in anticipation

And the server page is still broken. Is that because you don't want people to see the meager population anymore, or are you so short on staff that you can't even fix that?

[Thari 15]

It's broken because it's broken since we moved it to a new host.

 

Once the person that has to do it is online, he'll do it eventually.
