Dev News #191 The new beginningsSat, 25 April 2020
Hello, Feudalists!
A lot has been happening this week. Godenland has been wiped clean, and players have poured into this beautiful world to claim their lands and build their settlements. Of course, as it usually goes in the game development, it couldn’t go without some small hiccups.
We have received a number of reports about server crashes and their relation to the monuments, and since then we’ve been investigating the issue in both, the code and the wipe script itself. During that time we have worked with the guild leaders and assisted them with recovery of materials and rebuilding their monuments. As we’ve been digging deeper and deeper into the code and server logs, after several hours of work and with new reports about other sources of the server crashes, we’ve finally got to the bottom of this and permanently fixed the issue, which actually wasn’t related to monument building.
We’re continuing on with the fixes of issues that surfaced after the wipe. One of those problems is the missing refund of God’s Coins, Decorator’s Kits and/or Believer Tools we’ve mentioned before. We understand how important this problem is for you and are doing our best to see the reason some of the players are still missing their items. The other issue is related to the issues with some of the fiefs that are acting as expanded while not being claimed by anyone.The problem will be patched soon, returning these fiefs to their normal sizes.
Last thing we want to share is some of the data from before the wipe. More specifically, guild ratings. You have all put in a lot of work to build your settlements and to raise your kingdoms. You have kept growing as you’ve claimed new lands by building new outposts and as you’ve conquered the lands of your enemies. All this was reflected in the guild ranking and we want to highlight the top guilds in the world in three categories:
