Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

Server wars did happen, and there was a message stating that the server would be going down. But that has nothing to do with save messages. Perhaps those messages were in that font and that is where the memories are coming from - blurring it with a save message. I don't know still swear it existed ...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

lol I like that people who do absolutely NOTHING for this shard try and bring someone down for trying to help things along even if I AM in the end wrong. What have you done for T2A lately crew man. But I am done. I thought people here were a little older but it's pretty obvious this is not entirely...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

There is no hostility, and calling me a troll isn't going to help your case any. I simply pointed out that your claim is not supported by your evidence. You have posted clearly and obviously incorrect information every time you have posted in this thread. You know it, I know it, everyone else readi...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

However this is pretty substantial proof that anyone who claims to see no message is incorrect. No it isn't. That doesn't say anything at all about a save message, just the normal "system is going down" messages like everyone has been saying. Please stop digging now. why the hostility? I ...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

Its really nothing personal. The gray text is simply hard to read and easily missed. Agreed, I actually have an official prima UO guide from 97 and it looks to me there is a clipped off piece of the save message in one of the pictures but its black and white so it is hard to determine the hue; but ...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

Since there is nothing era accurate about any of these changes, can we go back to the yellow text? I am constantly missing the "we're saving in 15 seconds" message because it blends in with the other system messages. Here's a grep from the T2A client off of the CD. I don't see anything ab...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

I appreciate that you took the time to pursue accuracy, I'm just not sure this is accurate. Thank you my friend. I was just trying to help honestly - I didn't want to argue. However this is pretty substantial proof that anyone who claims to see no message is incorrect. In UO, like every other softw...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

Ok, then I could be off but whatever again I don't care I don't feel the need to argue over it. It is a save message, I apologize if I was wrong. You can say all the stuff you want but there is no doubt that around 12est there was a message that was EXTREMELY similar to the one posted I even said th...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

Server-lines, as I called them, were definitely around after 1998, I didn't start playing until mid 1999, and they were still around well into UO:R, and even AoS, on Atlantic / Siege at least. server lines were still there in 2003 when i quit. wouldnt be surprised if they're still there. As for the...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

Yet another important discussion which ofc should be addressed asap. Its game breaking!! I almost left the server, because the yellow text was not era accurate! Fortunately the save message got changed before I quit! Hahaha seriously funny man. I know it is a save message but the point is accuracy ...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

Yeah, the only stuff I see relating to "world save has been initiated" from some quick searching is all sphere. There is no indication that world saves were ever announced on OSI servers, just the "servers are going down shortly" message. It seems really unlikely that this is fr...

Re: Server Save Message - Does this matter?

If the save message was ever there, it was definately removed well before late 1999. Server down duping was rampant, leaving in a "saving now" message would basically have been a "commence duping now" message. Un-true this problem was corrected when servers became more capable a...

Re: World save in-accurate for some reason? Attn Derrik

The font and hue change went in this morning along with some other minor changes for whcich I haven't yet posted patch notes. Thanks again for prodding me into getting this changed. Glad you added it - it really does bring the old world save feeling. A+ man, I like the revised code as well much mor...
