Mega Man RPG Prototype Community

Hopefully this one will be a better hosting provider than the last one... I'm really looking forward to the new server as the game could get much better with more memory. I can't wait! Once again, keep up the amazing work!

Wait, you're paying to host a game you won't get any monetary benefits from?

...I mean, respect and all, that's really admirable, I don't think anyone would ever do that. On the other hand, it does make me kind of scared to think the game could be lost forever if suddenly the funding gets cut for whatever reason.

Nonetheless, as much as I wanted to play MMRPG today (And probably the days after it), playing a much more efficient MMRPG later sounds much better. Keep on keeping on, Adrian.

He may be paying for this. Yes, no one would do that, but that's what drives me to support this project far more now that he's actually taking more of his time, effort, skills and currency to provide us to experience a project he would had chosen to keep all to himself while not paying a single penny. It's heartwarming that he decided to switch the hosting plan instead of just completely shutting it off just for us to continue playing this outstandingly wonderful game. Thank you so much, Adrian :) and hopefully this project and the community behind it continues to grow and prosper for the future to come!

I'm quite new to this game and it would be a shame if it ever stoped and I really respect you for everything you've done and hopefully continue to do.

Aaaaaand we're back! For now. :P The server was really easy to set up and as far as I can tell the speeds are a marked improvement over the old one. For the time being, I'd like to ask that you NOT try to break the game. If a bug occurs naturally then yes, of course, report it. But please do not forcibly try to break the game for a little while - I want a fair review of this new server else we might have to move again in the future. Yes, I am paying for this out of my own pocket, but honestly there are few things I'd rather spend my money on. This project is my entire life right now and I absolutely love working on it. As long as I can continue to afford it, I will keep this game online. And if the day even comes where it has to be taken offline, I will absolutely make the source code public for someone else to take the reigns.

That out of the way, I've fixed a whole bunch of minor bugs and implemented several suggestions that were made before the shutdown. I obviously have not fixed everything yet but hopefully I will be able to in the coming weeks. I also have another robot to add to game/database from MMX100 - Plug Man - and he's been waiting in the queue for a while. Hope you all like the new features and let me know what you think of the new server! :P

*cheer* *cheer* *cheer*
Yay, the server's back up! This will probably be a big improvement, but I haven't actually played the game yet... Anyway, I'll probably be playing for the majority of Sunday and Monday (I'm sick so I can't really do much) and thank you so much schools for giving me Monday off.

Welcome back, liking how the new coloring system works, but maybe you could apply it to threads as well?



For reference cause I'm bad at words




It is also really great to see how lively this place has become, usually always when I visit here these days, there is at least 5 people online at the same time.

I return!

Ah, it's good to be back again. Three days of silence wasn't easy, but I did it. I think it was really funny when Adrian was the only guy online, meandering about the community and answering questions. Like a guy alone in a room talking to himself. Huh? Huh? ...I'm the only one who found it amusing, aren't I?

In any case, yay, we're back in business! Now I can get back to playing the video game.

I found it amusing, CF :)

Again, kudos for your unfaltering resolve at keeping this alive and prospering, Adrian. They do not go unnoticed.

Question, sometimes when I try to access the page, I get greeted by this message:



What does it mean?

its happened to me too

Same here.

@Brorman : Some threads have their colours hard-coded with a certain colour. All the stickies, for example have specific colours assigned to them. Specific user profile settings have lower priority than thread colour settings. All other non-sticky threads should abide by your preferences though, so there's that. :P

@CHAOS_FANTAZY : I knew someone was watching me! The Google Analytics data showed that several people were lurking around while I was previewing and bug-testing in admin-mode. Felt kind of weird going around answering questions and fixing bugs in silence, but but it was a necessary step in preventing save file corruption. :|

@MegabossMan : @QuickLikeQuickman : @TheDoc : Thank you all very much, you words mean more to me and the project than you know. The work can be incredibly long and grueling at times but knowing others are having fun with the game makes it all worth the trouble. ^_^ Thank you!!

@Brorman : @megaprotobassman : @MegabossMan About the error you posted, the MySQL server was crashing when it's memory got overloaded and I had to keep restarting it. Luckily I have complete control of the server to once I realized what was happening I created a swap file for memory emergencies. It hasn't crashed again like that yet so it should be okay now, but we'll see.

I know there are still a lot of issues, but I'm going to be spending the next few weeks lurking on the website and watching for error reports and user behaviour. I might not add much in the way of new content for a little while, but I'm going to be trying to fix the errors that are within my control and then smooth out some of the rougher edges after the move. Thanks for dealing with all the game's quirks and for posting in the community! Reading comments and honestly one of my favourite things to do before bed. ^_^
