Serverside Patch on Wednesday 7 January (1.3.0)

Dear players,

We are planning to temporarily shut down the servers, starting at 9am GMT ( click here for the time in most major cities ) on Wednesday 7 January, for a period of approximately 4 hours (until about 1pm GMT), though it might take a bit longer depending on how things go.

This downtime is intended to install a small update to the servers and also to allow us to test the procedure for updating Ryzom servers in real situations. We appreciate your understanding in advance on this break of several hours.

As this is a serverside patch only, it won't need anything special from you (except patience ;) ) and you should not need to patch your game client.

Contents of this update:
- Detecting exploits / cheats. We remind you that any person found to be cheating will be banned immediately and without warning.
- Fixed some small errors in the French, English and German translations.
- Fixed the server crash when guilds become too big and in other situations as well.
- Reactivation of Kitin Larvae in Desertstock. You can dig there again ;) .
- We removed a cart that was misplaced in a portal in Zora.
- Reappearance of Kitin in Demon's Lap.
- Gone are the days when neutrals could (wrongly) take advantage of Teleport Tickets in Scorched Corridor!

Please feel free to let us know of any problem you encounter after this update in the Support Forum, or with a Ticket ingame.


Update @ 11.54am UK: The patch has been sucessfully applied and all servers are now open :)

Pardon me...would you kindly leave my cart alone?!?!?! :D

On a serious note - Thank you for making our world a better place.

Yay for patches, even if they are server side. This is a good gesture to the community showing that you are serious about updating content and game dynamics. I know there were alot of people that were hesitant of subbing if patches weren't going to be forthcoming. This is definately a step in the right direction.
