Bob, I have a question for you. Did you run a server during the end of 2010?

I remember playing one, and that was the owners name.

 

It was named Rage-Scape or Rune-World

Well, today was my most unproductive day. Turns out I'm really sick. I went home, went to sleep, woke up 7 hours later, got some coding done, then slept again. Just wanted to note down what I did before I officially went to sleep. Hopefully I am better tomorrow. Takes dedication to get stuff done when I'm awefully sick. Here are today's updates:

9/19/14
-You can no longer melee Kree'arra.
-Adjusted the Agility EXP for the different courses, evened it out properly.
-Fixed the Combat Skills giving you a Defence Pendant issue.

Well, I actually got no content updates today. Reason being, I am sick as hell. I literally spent the whole day in bed. I haven't left my bed for 21 hours, unless I was getting food, using the bathroom, or showering. Like I haven't felt this bad in ages. Sorry I couldn't make it on. Although, I did accomplish two important things when I had the energy today using my lovely and convenient Chromebook from my bed. I will list these things below:

1. I migrated hosts. Many of you may have noticed the website was down for a bit today, there were some few minutes of my sql errors, etc. We have moved to a new host because of the down time we experienced on our old host. This host too has DDoS protection and should be able to host our server and website while maintaining stability. Now some of you might be stuck with the old website for a while because the DNS can take up to 24 hours to update. So please, if someone can see a page or file and you can't, don't freak out, it should fix itself within 24 hours.

2. Our 614 PvP is now up for beta. Due to the DNS updates, some of you can't use the auto cache downloading client for a few days, so you will need to download the zipped client with the cache in it. I will link our project thread (which you should follow!) which will have a link to the beta clients. I am still looking for ideas, and there will be a Google Drive for updates, bug reports, suggestions, polls, etc. If you are wanting to help the pking world grow (content or community wise) there is a skype group for it, so just ask for an invite and I will happily add you. I had some nostalgic memories pking with a few friends on this earlier today, although there is much work to do. If you want to relive the great experience of pking during the 614 revision, come try it out!

Project Thread: http://www.rune-server.org/runescap...-ultimate-pking-experience-looking-ideas.html

Please provide feedback on myself and the project on the thread if you have an account. I greatly appreciate any feedback, even constructive criticism because that can improve my work. Thanks!

Thread: http://elveron.org/community/index.php?/topic/233-migrated-hosts-and-pvp-world-614-beta/

 

Yes, I very much remember that name, Rune-World! I really enjoyed that server, so maybe I'll check out this one!

 

Sweet that would be awesome

Yes, another slow day. Kind of, better than the others. I am just so run down, words can't describe it. But, did manage to get some things done on my bucket list. Please note that I am limited, I haven't been on my monster laptop and have been running on my linux chromebook, which is perfectly fine for coding, but I was a bit slowed down because I didn't have some certain tools I had designed for windows that made my coding a lot faster. Plus its hard to think when you are so stuffed >.<

Before I go into updates, there is some news on the PvP Beta. We now have setup a google drive.

What can be found on the Google Drive?
-A suggestions folder where you can post suggestions and expand on your idea, here we can easily review your suggestions and give comments on them, mark them as completed, etc.
-A bug report folder where you can explain the bug and what causes it, where we can also easily mark it complete.
-An update log where we will be posting all of our updates.

For access to the Google Drive, please send me your gmail adress. This will give you access to make suggestion and bug reports.

I will not be broadcasting the updates for the Elveron PvP 614 due to the fact that it is only a project and there will be MANY updates. If you want to check out the day's updates, please refer to our official update log (or our project thread):
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L_Jpg7XUejJQiaCHkLEqan7cVgSGFZY-mULgYJ_x6-8/edit?usp=sharing

9/21/14
-Fixed the issues with claiming rewards in Dominion Tower.
-Reworked certain combat scripts for Dominion Tower bosses.

Looks like a dedicated owner/developer. I have to give it a try

 

Unfortunately, I am well aware of this lag issue. The host we got a few days ago, just isn't that great. I have purchased a new host that shouldn't lag at all that will arrive sometime tonight when I am asleep. I will try to set it up in the morning, if not tomorrow afternoon. Get ready for a kick-ass vps, thanks to the funding of our donators. Still recovering from my sickness, however I was well enough to get back into swimming and boy does it make me feel a lot better. I couldn't get a great amount done today because I'm still spending time in bed. However I would like to congratulate our new staff team on their promotions. Here are today's updates and the new staff list (we are now covering all time zones).

Administrators: Innocent (UK) and Kyle (US East Coast)
Moderators: Apollo (Netherlands) and Timmy (US East Coast)
Support: Bubblegum (US West Coast) and Light (Singapore)

Now we have people in the Australian and Asian time zones, the Europe timezones, the US timezones, all over the place. There shouldn't be a moment with no staff online to support you guys.

9/22/14

-Implings should no longer spawn outside of the Puro Puro arena.
-Fixed the Snakeskin armor crafting.

Great news, heard back from Jazzmine. He is currently feeling better and is almost done in the process of moving. He was able to get bug fixes done today in a hotel room and will be returning with us in two days. Most of my day was occupied with trying to figure out and solve the issue with the server wide walk issues and such. Think its fixed now. Here are today's updates.

We now accept bitcoin! So if you are interested in donating through bitcoins, just contact me. I am heavily into bitcoins now >.>

I am also buying bitcoins if anyone wants to sell any, paying with paypal as I just traded in all of my rsgp for bitcoins.

Sadly, I got into a bit of trouble and couldn't get on my computer, currently sending this through my phone on my dedi. Luckily, Jazzmine came back in time and was able to get things done today. Relieves a lot of stress from me. Here are today's updates:

I am very happy to announce a few things. First off, we now have an official Community Manager! Say hello to Envo (Valo) on his introduction which will be posted below. Here is some quick information on Envo. Envo is the current Content Manager for Runelocus and has LOTS of experience with marketing, community interaction, etc. He will be helping us with website development, social media, seo, community interactions, events, and all kinds of things. I am happy to have him as a part of the Elveron team. Secondly, there is a client update in which some blackscreen issues were fixed and copy and pasting has been added. Please update your clients to have access to these features, unless you are using the Loader which will automatically update. On a last note, I have integrated the Skype API into the server and found out how to do some fun stuff. This expands our possibilities for communication. Soon we will be able to link our skype accounts to ingame, right click to add people, send pms on skype from ingame, type in a command to call someone, and so much more! I am very excited about this. Anyways, here are the day's updates!

INTRODUCING: Our new awesome referral system. What better way to motivate players to refer their friends? This will give players an incentive to advertise, refer, etc. getting players on the server and growing the community. Referrals that are active and play a certain amount of time will reward the player that referred them. They can then save up their referrals for a wide variety of things like free donator if you can't afford it, advantages in the game, exclusive items, and so much more! Read the update log and talk to Evil Bob ingame for more info. Evil Bob can be found at home by the Player Owned House portal.

10/1/14
-Brand new, awesome referral system.
-Referral system checks for accounts on the same IP, doesn't count matching IP's.

-System to log referrals and IPs when being initiated during account creation.
-Keeping track of total referrals and referral points.
-Fail safes to make sure accounts are not creditted twice by accident.
-Awesome rewards shop and information system for the Referral System.
-Ability to redeem FREE DONATOR, gold, items, advantages, and more with Referral Points.
-You get 1 point per active referral once they gain their time amount.
-Fixed some issues with voting and database connections.

Hitting a high today, enjoy a nice exp bonus!

 

Amazing weekend, just amazing. I can't believe we hit 56 online and maintained 40+ almost the entire weekend, especially when we couldn't even hit 20 the beginning of the week. This has been an awesome weekend and hopefully we continue to grow. Need improvements or want to suggest something? Post on the forums, I'll always read and consider your posts

Now, the ULTIMATE MONEY MAKING GUIDE is now out for its first edition. When I wrote this with Jared on a Google Doc, it was 18 pages long with over 50 methods of money making. We hope that players can post more money making methods so that we can add more to the guide. This should clear up a lot of questions when new players join. This took many hours, so feel free to read it Hopefully we can help out the server a ton with this guide as it covers pvm, skilling, and activities.

Guide (WIP): http://elveron.org/community/index.php?/topic/332-elverons-ultimate-money-making-guide/
