Should be fixed now, and your army returned to your city. 17 players were effected by this issue. Many apologies for the inconvenience caused. Best wishes, GM Stormcrow |

Attempt 1 repatriated stuck armies to their home cities, yay. Players then report that they were still saying that they were "in motion" and couldn't be moved Attempt 2 set them to be static and not in motion Players then report that they were under "reinforcing" orders rather than "defending" Attempt 3 set them to be "defending" and not "reinforcing" Third time's the charm, I trust... |

Oh, and who was the eejit, in the nicest possible sense of the word that
is, who thought: Hmmm, problems with things post patch, and Oh Look! GM Stormcrow's test account on Live (Sigurd) has dropped his New Player Protection temporarily to test things during this time of crisis, I know... I'll send a bunch of thieves in to his city during this window of opportunity and see what I get. I saw them inbound and magicked up a small number (some 2K or so) advanced thief units to protect me, and I hope you learnt a useful lesson

Date Posted: 17 Mar 2010 at 22:30
yvw Braque, and we appreciate the positive feedback! We always make sure we're around when we've just patched something major, purely for things like what just happened. The nice thing is we have logs of most everything that happens, so we can always make things right when they do go peculiar post-patch (after fixing the root cause, of course!) |

You, you get something? Clearly management deserves the credit here, simply because I delegated the exposing onto you does not mean the credit is any less mine. I shall take the prize.

no, no, no, i simply want to do everything i can to help the noble diabolitcololol, honest. I'm sure sc wont mind me trying to scratch his mammoths? or can i just send caravans for fertiliser to increase my crop production? lets face it, the old windmill does bugger all. |
