Incoming Update

Ladies and gentlemen of BGTSCC.

Joy and jubilation is called for on this day. A new update will take place this weekend. This is one of the largest updates that has been accomplished on the server in over a year. This update will include new classes, skills, spells and other goodies for your playing enjoyment. QC, DMs and the Design Team have been testing the content for the past two weeks on Server 2. We believe it is ready for full deployment.

However, as with all updates, there could be some glitches and hiccups. With an update this large, it might be difficult to pinpoint exactly what is causing an issue, if any issues arise. Therefore this is also a warning that if any major, game-breaking glitches do occur we may have to roll back the server to a previous state of existence. We have backed up the current server as well as the character vault. If a rollback does occur there will be no refunds of xp or items gained during the time the new content is in game. We do not expect anything to go wrong, and would exhaust all other corrective measures before initiating a rollback in any case, but apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

A big thank you goes out and is well deserved by all of those who have worked long hours on bringing this update together and all of the content that is included. We appreciate all that you have done to make the server a better place.

The BGTSCC Team.

There will probably be a brief down period while Duster stages the update, as is usual with updates. I don't know how long this one will be (there are quite a few files and a lot of moving parts).

Duster or Rasael will release the patch notes once it's been implemented.

If you post elsewhere, it may get moved to this thread.

Nothing like a like environment to fully test stuff that would otherwise take 2-3 people weeks to test. We appreciate your cooperation and patience as we move forward with new content.
