We have a new test server up which we would like players to test with us.

We blocked the offending IP addresses, and also applied a patch to our logonserver.

~gremlin

We've now upgraded to 2.4 - you MUST have 2.4 or 2.4.1 installed to access tru-wow now. To do this, use the wow launcher and let blizz update it. When you are finished change the realmlist back to www.truwowonline.com and then MAKE THE FILE READ ONLY. To do this, right-click on your realmlist file and then check the read only box. For some reason Mac users don't have to do this :D Well I didn't anyway.

NOTE: the new area is not spawned - this is the same across all private servers. Also since NCDB has now gone underground, there are no 2.4 items in the database. Changes appear to be various talent fixes, and chat now looks silly >.>

Have fun ^^

~Niiam

servers are currently down whilst we update to 2.4

we'll keep you informed :)

~Niiam

Yes, thats correct. Tomorrow we will be rolling out the 2.4 patch.

This is just a reminder to download the patch so you are ready, we do not have a specific time for rollout yet, as Niiam and myself need to figure out a time we are both availiable together.

~gremlin

Yep, we are back online.

Hardware upgrade was a success =)

~gremlin

I'm currently spawning the high level herbs that never seem to be in the DB - So far, I've put Netherbloom in Netherstorm, and Silversage in Winterspring and Azshara. I'm still doing it, it's going to take a while though :P

~Niiam

Well.. Despite our ups and downs recently we have been going strong =)
The player base has remained steady and we hope for it to grow! So get those votes in.

Might note on todays update:
Fixed Battlegrounds! Yay! Since people were wanting this for a long time :P
Added the announcer spam thingo back so new players see the info.
Fixed a few crash thingies.

Thats all from me for now, Enjoy your experience on Tru-WoW!

~gremlin

Sorry to say, but this is in fact normal. This is a result of mob armor being added in a recent patch. Have fun everyone :P
No-one has any reason to complain anymore.

~gremlin

The firewall is now setup, so everything ingame is A-Okay.

The bad news is we found out MySQL (on Linux) was related to the save issues. So we pulled the plug on pretty much the last thing to remain on Linux and moved the database over to the Windows box. The problem is, with the new firewall, we don't have the ports forwarded yet to this new database. So web based things that need the database will likely fail. Sorry folks, but it's how the cookie crumbles. It should be fine by tomorrow again.

Update: gremlin has informed that it's working. But if you made an account between around 6pm Eastern American time today and 11pm, and can't login, please remake it.

Just wait for us to resolve the issue, please.

We still have two things to do before we're fully set up:

1) The firewall has been ordered but not set up by our host yet. There will be some brief downtime for when it will need to be set up.

2) The webpage for character transfers to the new PvE realm will need to be made and put up.

The realmlist SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE changed. It should remain truwowonline.com . HOWEVER, if you encounter troubles connecting, please use this address instead of truwowonline.com : 74.52.245.2

That's all from us.

Well, the next milestone in development for the ascent team has been achieved.
A collisions system has been implemented, which basically means mobs aren't ghosts anymore.

Thats all from me.
