DragonKnight #1249 During the scheduled patch tonight Darkfall Community Manager, Brannoc, was kind enough to hop into IRC and answer a few pertinent and not so pertinent questions. The full interview can be found in the Darkfall General Forum HERE
<@Brannoc> I shut the forums down because all they were doing was crashing and preventing us from getting information out
<@Brannoc> so...there's the love!
Junkoe: hey brannoc am I alone in that my account is not inactive but I was playing before servers went down?
<@Brannoc> no Junkoe
<@Brannoc> if this were all a big scam I'd be saying "haha suckers" and drinking
nox_: are you drinking at a bar?
<@Brannoc> I should be
Sceleris: can you understand alot of the frustration?
<@Brannoc> of course I can Sceleris, I wanted to be playing by now too
<@Brannoc> no one is more disappointed than we are
<@Brannoc> playing would be a LOT more fun than keeping the forums and irc channel shutdown to keep you guys from crashing them
<@Brannoc> we Must have a way to communicate with people, we couldn't keep the forums online, so, I took the forums down
RixuS: Brannoc, did they ever diagnose the issue of accounts that *were* active, but suddenly *stopped*?
<@Brannoc> that's on the list, RixuS
Etherwar: maybe put up the forums but disable new posts?
<@Brannoc> still uses a lot of resources, Etherwar
<@Brannoc> far more than this method
[AOD]glockjs: Any news on the Credit Card issue?
<@Brannoc> which one, Glockjs?
<@Brannoc> there' at least 3
Ssly|-W-: brannoc, know anything about the progress of creating more servers to handle the demand?
<@Brannoc> I don't, Ssly|-W-
ShockWave: Brannoc i repeat do you know when the remaining ppl who preordered are getting in?
<@Brannoc> there is no ETA at this time
<@Brannoc> no ETA for new orders either, but that will come after the patch and after the pre-orders are all fixed
<[AOD]glockjs> Brannoc, Is there a prob with debit cards with a CC logo that is known?
<@Brannoc> not that I've heard, glockjs
<[WSX]Chrismon> Brannoc are you aware of all the clans that got their citys via exploits?
<@Brannoc> I don't think ALL the clans got their cities by exploits, Chrismon, but we'll review that, last I saw not a single one had exploited
<@Brannoc> I really am highly doubtful of any major exploits taking place, maybe some pathing issues or guard tower issues
<@Brannoc> but I was playing earlier and didn't see any guilds with big cities fucking with bugs
[WSX]Stig_Arius: Hey Brannoc - are they considering a wipe/reset - anything like that? Can you say whether it has even been brought up as an idea?
<@Brannoc> I don't know, Stig
Deharakk: Brannoc: I suppose the devs never considered a system of ordering that just queued us to recieve orders upon release?
<@Brannoc> I don't know, Deharakk
Kompressor: Is macroing a bannable offence?
<@Brannoc> not my place to state the official stance on macro'ing
<@Brannoc> but that's common sense, not an official stance
<@Brannoc> I'd say a common sense answer would be that...if you're not macro'ing to exploit the system or for commercial gain...you'll be left alone
Dragon456: Brannoc, is 4-legged running still coming?
<@Brannoc> I don't know Dragon456
[MC]Butch_T: What about non charged people
<@Brannoc> non-charged people are still on the to do list
Zaffa: @Brannoc Do you know if prepaid credit cards are accepted for orders?
<@Brannoc> I honestly don't know, zaffa
Ssly|-W-: brannoc, do you know if the over-filled chaos stone bug is also being worked on in the current patch?
<@Brannoc> I don' know ssly
