NEW PLAYERS DO THE HOKEY-POKEY
by Hazed
We let the new players in, we shut the new players out. In, out, shake it all about...
Hopes were high that over the break Alan would be able to fix the bug that makes the game crash when new players set up accounts. At first, it looked like he had succeeded. New code went in, the restriction was lifted, some new players came in... and for at least 24 hours it looked like all was well.
There was a minor glitch in that the fix Alan had put in stopped the job boards from working, but that was swiftly fixed as well, and we all heaved a collective sigh of relief.
But we relaxed too soon. Hopes were dashed as the game crashed. And again. Clearly all was still not well.
And so the restriction on new players had to be put back, and Alan had to start poring over the code again, to figure out what the bleepety-blank is making the game crash!
That’s where we’re at now. I’ll keep you posted when anything changes.
