Hrin’s Updates: Weekly Colony Wars and V2.1.18 Patch Release Date!

Hi guys,

1) Weekly Colony Wars: Sunday Nights

There will be a weekly colony war held every Sunday, 2000hrs-2200hrs (GMT+8) starting from 29^th July 2007, Sunday onwards.

The colony maps will NOT be reset until the start of our commercial phase. On the first day of commercial launch, the world map will be wiped clean of all faction names and colonies will be reset to free for all. This is in consideration for some factions who are still affected by the ‘Declaration of war’ bug.

For the factions who are still affected by the Declaration of war bug, please report it here. This is the final call to all the factions who are still affected by the Faction leaders, please note that in the Declaration Of War Document, you will need to type in the name of the Faction you wish to declare war on and not the family name of the faction leader.

Discuss this here.

2) Latency Issue

Our technical team has been investigating the recent spate of latency issues and they suspect that the problem lies with the routing path of data packets since our bandwidth usage reports do not reflect any abnormal behavior.

In the meantime, our technical team has written a batch file to monitor this routing of data packets. For those still experiencing bad latency, please follow the instructions found here to submit your traceroute findings to them such that they may investigate where the problem could potentially be and execute the necessary follow-up action.

Discuss this here.

3) V2.1.18 Patch Release Date: 16^th August 2007

The patch for V2.1.18 is approximately 200MB and will be available soon for download. However, it has been password protected for the time being because the server side V2.1.18 patch has not yet been installed. Please do not attempt to crack the password and install the patch to your current client as this would result in game client corruption and will result in your current Granado Espada client being unable to run. The password will be released on 16^th August 2007 for users to install the patch.

P/S: This is not the date that we are going into commercial phase, so please remain calm. :)
