Posted July 24th 2013 - Updates usually take reboots to take effect.



Galene broadcasts, "Getting a lot of petitions asking about reboot so broadcasting for all you mates: You updated your client when you logged in last night-that means a reboot is required for that update to fully take effect, aye. Sorry!"

Menoob greeter chats, "that is new. didn't know update mean reboot"

Galene greeter chats, "For general information, most bug fixes won't fully go into effect without rebooting the server. Some will. As an example:

Remember that the server is just a computer. Sometimes you add new programs or updates to various programs on your computer. Some of those do not require you reboot your computer, but some do, yes?"

95% of the time, for the update to fully be installed, the server has to reboot. [Other 5% of the time] It's more, they're not that "deep" in the system. Updating your chat engine probably isn't going to change sensitive system files that are constantly in use, so it usually doesn't require a reboot right?"

But if you installed a windows update for example-that's probably needing to change files you are using all the time-so it can't change that without restarting and closing those files."

Aphrodite greeter chats, "Doubscribing does not protect an account from being purged due to inactivity.  Only buying doubs or sub time with real money - it doesn't matter the price, any purchase."


Posted June 11th 2013 - Greeter privilege stripping for complaints/suspensions is automated

Sparklette greeter chats, "A friend of mine lost her greeter privileges she claims after being reported or something, she's wondering how can she gain them back"

Galene greeter chats, "No, there is no appeal for that, mates.  There may  have been long ago in the past when we did that manually, but it's all automated now.

The game code itself controls it, a suspension results in 6 months before you can greeter again. (The idea being, a greeter should always be aware of the rules and always following them-since you represent the game to new players)"

Madcrash greeter chats, "Adding on to that, what if it was a false report/blackspot?"

Galene greeter chats, "We have the ability to remove blackspots if they are misused so they do not affect greeter status.

But you don't have it removed for a "false complaint" since the complaint itself doesn't remove greeter, only the suspension does, and an OM actually investigates before suspending."

Rayche greeter chats, "can someone help me get to Admiral island?"
Rayche greeter chats, "Got it thank ye. I am experienced on Cerulean not on this ocean"

Queendaggers greeter chats, "the rules for greeter chat are the same for all oceans"
Rayche greeter chats, "Aye to help greenies. I am technically a greenie to this ocaen"

Galene greeter chats, "Not sure how long ago that chat was-it's to help players, but not in a way that gives them an unfair advantage simply because they're a greeter.

So it's nice to whisk somebody sure-but it's unfair to people who don't qualify for greeter if greeters can get free whisks there-while those who can not greeter can not get free whisks."
