Scheduled Downtime with Next System Update


sirlonewolf

Recommended Posts

The system update for today's release will be slightly different from the usual format.

 

The game worlds will still display the system update timer with a 10-minute warning as normal; however, after the 10-minute countdown, all game worlds will be temporarily shut down rather than rebooted, to allow us to make some necessary changes. These changes will require around 15 minutes, after which we can restart the game worlds and you will be able to log in once more.

 

We have done everything to ensure this downtime is as short as possible, but, if this takes much longer than expected, we'll keep you informed and make every effort to bring the game worlds back online as quickly as possible.

Like Jagex have said before with something, what might be a 'big' update to them won't necessarily be a 'big' update for us. I think it's Clan Chat upgrades amongst other things but it may require changes to the core of the game to handle the data or something?

 

I could be right or I could be horribly wrong (wouldn't surprise me) but people shouldn't get their hopes up too much. I'm personally looking forward to what today brings!

HAHA that's what i was hoping too, then i saw that and was like awww :(

Maybe it has something to do with the strange power and the new area?

At first I thought - "Ooo, this could be big!", then I realised we really shouldn't read into this much. It could really mean anything when you consider the technical possibilities that could warrant a reboot.

 

Still, am interested in seeing what it is - and also, glad it's update day! :)

For everyone that still thinks this will be the new skill: every time jagex says something is not coming out they have held true to their word. They have never said something would not come out and then were like "GOT YA!" :P

 

Im thinking the same as Jon Arcane (some posts above), seeing it requires some updates/setting changes to the servers it can be anywhere from graphics changes, to the way stats and information gets uploaded from and to servers, to changes to chat systems (as they are processed via different servers than the game (iirc).

 

But it could as well be a preparation for a future update where we wont see anything different today, we'll know in about 2-3 hours :)

Thank you :) update could be anywhere from now till 4, although I reckon between 2-3 today, atleast I hope so, gives me chance to do my lectures and hit the pub! :lol:

 

And this is on the forums:

 

Mod Nexus -

This update will contain technical stuff hence the need for a bit of time to change things behind the scenes, and there's a fair handful of content bundled in with the update.

 

When I say bundled, I mean placed carefully! ;)

Sorry, but this made me lol irl! Poor Jagex! They can't do anything without all of us screaming "new skill".....

 

Back OT, this probably does point to an integration of new friends management servers... But I can't wait to learn all the other things we'll be chatting about :)

Definitely a clan chat rework as one of the things.

I would love to see the option to merge CC as well as something to notify or auto connect when theres space.

 

Sounds interesting, I just want the hexcrest bug fixed more then anything though.

I don't see why so many jump to please be the new skill and then read its not and like aww when Jagex already said the bonus xp weekend was a treat BEFORE the new skill as high lvls in all skills aid it. Therefore logic dictates that this weeks update BEFORE that weekend cannot be the skill

I'm kinda surprised no one has said anything about a quest yet. Maybe the new quest will involve the new area?

 

And from the looks of it, it looks pretty big. Probably a master/grandmaster quest if it really is one.
