Hi there. I lost access to atherounge3 account since I don't know email of it and thundernikk don't tell me my email, just ignoring me. So I asked to give me this account. So, I would just duplicate the message from our discord server, which actually also would explain how I lost account (I was logged in from host)
Hi, guys. Well, the full situation explanation about what's going on. Our host machine had 2 SSDs. We mapped it as C:/ and D:/. We did not set up partitions, so it were separated disks. C:/ for databases and OS. D:/ for other. GameServer directory was located on D:/. Same as everything else, like patch, auth, etc. We had daily backups going to D:/. The thing is that it just collapsed yesterday at early night. Completely collapsed. And as you may know ( or google it ) SSDs are unrecoverable. We could restore data, if it would be HDD. But, unfortunately, not SSD. Since databases were on C:/, we made fresh backups after booting up. Latest arcadia, latest auth, latest billing, latest telecaster (if you had some rappelz server experience you know what these databases for, right?). But the server itself is gone completely. We don't have scripts, don't have emu, don't have anything, only database and source.
TL; DR: (Or didnt understand)
In simple words, we got only latest data in our hands, which we can not do anything with. We can not run a server, because server itself got collapsed.
So... We have to do everything from scratch, unfortunately...
But well, since I worked for new engine for long time and already planned to transfer server to it, we have less to do. But since I planned to change Inferno, I think it would have a bit different looking. And we have much more experience now, so I think that we would make it faster.
I think that I will collect all the data of people who donated and how much and they would receive some bonuses at the reborned server. Also the people would receive some sort of "playcoins" which would be regarded time they spent on Inferno. And I actually would like to NOT keep auth (accounts) database. Since it's using old MD5 hashing, I would like to change it to SHA2, which is much better, so means you would have to register anew as well.
Also, we planned to make epic6 server, so the idea is still here. Like Inferno + epic6. 2 separated servers.
The inferno in my plans would be non-epic-bound server, with a lot of changes. Like my own "game vision".
As of this, I mean changed some balance, perhaps even adding master class, but as skill-talent tree (like in World of Warcraft). Professions system (World of Warcraft reference also), some pets, mount system (I want them to give stats as well), items overhaul (Removing dura gear but adding unique items instead of that) and such things
Well, perhaps I would even rename it? Or we would name Inferno epic6? Epic6 would be just epic6 with some of our additions
We are happy to hear ideas and suggestions for both servers / say something that this is oppurtunity to fix or balancing and mistakes in the past. And we glad that we actually have such wonderful community we worked with
