Because I was randomly checking forums after I left, I've decided to post some stuff that's been around. Why do people still play? It's a private server. People want to level faster. But with no updates, it's become harder to choose the option to stay or leave.
Back on topic, I was reading this interesting topic that Suichiro made not too long ago about updates. I ignored those other threads about updates new people come into the server saying "When's this coming out? When is that and that coming out? Soon? If so, when??". But what Suichiro said here wasn't any of those:
" If most of you noticed when PiL applied the "urn" patch*, it messed up everything...supposedly, but what happened was that the server's settings reset back to default...AKA Ogplanet's setting. Now i had a crazy idea, that maybe if PiL and gamepirate's dev team could take note of the server's current settings on it, they could apply the same settings again after putting the "urn" patch.
In other words before urn patching, take note of the server's settings AKA (not so effed up pvp damage, not so effed up eva and acc, and...well basically the way the server was before the patch), i know most of you might think updating this server is impossible and hard or what ever, but i think that Gamepirate is just being lazy, or probably doesn't have a proper developer team.
Now anyways if you guys also noticed a year ago before the bootleg patch* was removed, EVERYTHING was the same as when the urn patch was applied. Except that the bootleg was actually a semi legit update. The only thing left for PiL to do after the bootleg update was to manually code the vintor/coliseum* INTO the server afterwards. Since PiL has the server's client and Server's file it shouldn't be that hard to code it in. "
*Urn Patch: Recent "update" on the server, which didn't work out.
*Bootleg Patch: Another sort-of-important patch in which you had to do some procedures in order to enter Vintor's Lair.
*Vintor/Coliseum: Vintor is a boss that was the only update we had as useful so far. (Aka Bootleg Patch) Supposedly, we were supposed to have Coli by now. Unfortunately, there hasn't been any news we'd get it anytime soon.
Where was Suichiro when we needed him? I have to agree that this private server is lazy, but I do understand the coding team (?) has other things to do in life other than coding. (Even though they haven't done anything but the Urn Patch and Bootleg, as well as minor updates)
Suichiro also believes, and I believe so too, that there isn't a development team. I suppose the only "Coder" Team we have is from the Cabal side, which wouldn't work so well. Here's some other thoughts/opinions:
" It's just a matter of implanting the files with correct coding. And also it's true that gp latale does not have a dev team from what I've heard, that is, I mean if they did then what the hell are they even doing, its like they are just sitting around watching without trying to attempt anything."
" I thought they used to but then they just gave up/ left apparently is what I heard like a long time ago. "
" Well I know from semi experience that with a leeched source such as this one it doesn't nessessarly take a ton of skill to like fix everything but just takes alot of time to understand how the previous programmer did what they did."
" If this could be done then they would need to get back the EXACT same files we used for bootlegging..and bootlegging would have to be re-enabled, but then again before anything PiL would need a test server to test this before making it into a client for people to download..or patch...Basically we would need to get the files from the new latale, then we'd have to put it in gplatale then pil has to manually code it in the server file then release it."
" I've tried my hand at coding latale.
It isn't hard at all. Had to code my own server files which aren't even halfway done.
Since i already had the encryption, i started working directly on logging in, creating a database to store the information on the server.
Success.
Collecting the correct packets in the game to fix && handle movement of all sort, warping, anything.
Not finished but not hard.
Why did i stop?
Got bored."
" PiL .
You say it's very hard..
BUT There are people here besides me with knowledge of coding, you can ASK FOR HELP.
You guys need to let go of your " pride " and see if anyone else can help out, nobody here is stupid,
Even player's with no coding knowledge can help out "
Then, our dearest admin logged in and wrote this.
" Players, First, I want to say!!! Thanks for your opinions.
About the patch of urns, it was tested in the test server and we didn't have problem. Now we are working on this problem and put again the patch of urns.
About bootleg, we are considering the idea that allowed this dungeon.
About development team, GP has the same team by latale and cabal. The code in this game is very complicated. Everything is very hard. It takes much time and effort to make a change here.
My ideas in short time are: patch of urns, allowe the vintor/coliseum INTO the server. "
This- is a change! I'm not 100% sure this will happen with experience from the server. If there's a development team, I believe they are small, and code when they feel like they want to. I have to say, it's a small chance something like this will happen, although it is a big change for everyone who plays and played before. Pil may not have the best grammar, but she's trying her best. I've seen her log every day just to do her job.
See you on the next post!
