UPDATE: Dado's Blade BBS v2.0

Post by BizKit »

First of all I'd like to apologize to everyone for the inconvenience. I'm sorry that all the time and energy you put into your characters is now gone. I really am. I hope that everyone will create a character again, but if some don't that's just the way it has to be. I look forward to seeing everyone, new and existing!

I completely reset the realm on Dado's Blade BBS. The realm had been used once before for a few weeks and I made the mistake of just deleting all the original characters and sweeping the realm thinking that would be just like a reset and I was wrong. There were numerous problems with lim's and whatnot so to fix any issues that were present I just completely re-installed/reset the realm.

I also got rid of the stat changes and the sysop character that was used for quests/recovery missions. While I like being able to help with certain things, the super sysop character was just a problem waiting to happen.

Ok gang, there's an "outage" in my area and they're working on it. The automated thing at COX says it should be fixed by 3am central time, but the tech I spoke with on the phone said there is currently no estimated time of completion.
My current down speed is 1/10th what it should be and my upload speed is 0.01mbps. No wonder we're having connection problems!

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone. Hopefully it'll be back to normal again by morning!

Hang in there guys,
TheSysop

Ok gang, it looks like the connection is stabilizing and things are mostly back to normal. BUT proceed at your own risk as the connection is still wavering. Hopefully by the end of they day COX has this completely worked out and we can mud care free again.

Well guys, things couldn't be going better over at Dado's Blade BBS. We have over 60 active accounts and the realm is thriving!

Just a small update... We are now running the Lair Mod! With the realm steadily growing in size, it was a much needed and welcomed addition.

Come check it out!
