damn, this is pretty useful.
this is nice, indeed

So I think we've sorted the problem with RTB4 killing the master server with a range of measures. The only issue left is the RTB Connect system hiccupping when large volumes of people are connected. It looks like this is still going to happen occasionally but it won't bring the house down like before - people will just need to reconnect. I'll be looking into that next.

Thanks Ephi.

Ikr, Blockbot should still be there

So a little update...

The connection issues seem to be behind us now. All the measures put in place look like they're working. We've just hit 350 concurrent users which is the highest so far with no issues so I think that's a positive sign.

I've had a load of good bug reports so I'll be looking into those and hopefully releasing a 4.01 patch sooner rather than later to sort out a few usability things that are confusing people along with a few more urgent issues.

Some people are reporting server joining hosting issues and blaming RTB for this but I haven't found anyone who can reproduce this yet (myself included) so I'm chalking that down to update hysteria for now.

BlockBot is also back in General Discussion to make sure everyone behaves.

Edit: I'll also be removing the ability to change your pirate scallywag mode in 4.01 so make sure you've set it to what you want because you won't be able to change it soon.

...are you going to tell us what it does at least before you do that?
