  1. These are all nice and good, but not for everyone. Remember that Metin2 is now about 10 years old, which is quite a long time, just a very few games make interest in such a long time. Computers are getting better, game productors are also getting better, and this game also have to take its part in this competition. 

    I also remember that time when I was a newbie and every little thing excited me. But that time is gone. The standard gameplay bores me so much that I can't play more than an hour on a server, and a lot of people feels the same. 

    Of course there are many people who always liked the standard gameplay and they won't change their mind, but most of the players are changing. Veteran players who get bored by it leaves, and some new ones are coming instead of them. The number changes just a little. 

    But what about those veteran players who left the game finally? Wouldn't they come back if they'd find something that is radically new for them, and which could excite them like in the old times? Many of them are waiting such a server like that. 

    I and my team are receiving many letters from our future players containing their personal opinions about this topic, and many of them finished with Metin2 a long time ago, but they are still waiting for us, because we are making a totally newschool server with such unique developments which most of the oldschool servers wouldn't accept, because these don't fit for the oldschool gameplay. And I think it's totally allright.

    We need oldschool servers just as much as newschools. Everyone has their own taste; who likes the standard gameplay will visit the oldschool servers, and who wants something radical will play on the newschool ones, and this is the best way. The developers are also preparing their servers to their own image, and their audition are having a very similar taste like theirs.

    We don't have to discuss so much which one is better, I think there isn't a better one. Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages, and both of them can be really successful or also can fail early. Everything's up to the developers and the way they imagine and make it.

  2. Not sure if it'd solve your problem, but you could try with these functions (from Mijago):

    mysql_query = function(query)
        if not pre then
            local rt = io.open('CONFIG','r'):read('*all')
            pre,_= string.gsub(rt,'.+PLAYER_SQL:%s(%S+)%s(%S+)%s(%S+)%s(%S+).+','-h%1 -u%2 -p%3 -D%4')
        end
        math.randomseed(os.time())
        local fi,t,out = 'mysql_data_'..math.random(10^9)+math.random(2^4,2^10),{},{}
        os.execute('mysql '..pre..' --e='..string.format('%q',query)..' > '..fi) -- für MySQL51
        -- os.execute('mysql '..pre..' -e'..string.format('%q',query)..' > '..fi) -- für MySQL55
        for av in io.open(fi,'r'):lines() do table.insert(t,split(av,'t')) end; os.remove(fi);
        for i = 2, table.getn(t) do table.foreach(t[i],function(a,
            out[i-1]               = out[i-1] or {}
            out[i-1][a]            = tonumber( or b or 'NULL'
            out[t[1][a]]           = out[t[1][a]] or {}
            out[t[1][a]][i-1]      = tonumber( or b or 'NULL'
        end) end
        return out
    end
    function split(str, delim, maxNb)
        if str == nil then return str end
        if string.find(str, delim) == nil then return { str } end
        if maxNb == nil or maxNb < 1 then maxNb = 0 end
        local result = {}
        local pat = "(.-)" .. delim .. "()"
        local nb = 0
        local lastPos
        for part, pos in string.gfind(str, pat) do
            nb = nb + 1
            result[nb] = part
            lastPos = pos
            if nb == maxNb then break end
        end
        if nb ~= maxNb then result[nb + 1] = string.sub(str, lastPos) end
        return result
    end
  3. I think they didn't surpassed the 8th episode, but it was superb season finale nevertheless. Until the new season comes out, I'll read out the Feast for Crows too, so I'm curious how the TV episodes will affect me after having got to know the story.

  4. Well, I didn't want to offend anyone, sorry if I did. It just happened me many times that a lot of people were working on creating just the same idea as I and my team did.

    For example on our previous server (that was the simple SY, years ago, and just a really few people were working on it from my current team) our only 'bigger' feature was that we made working 7th skills for all classes. Unfortunately in that time we didn't have the right knowledge to make enough good client protection, and during the beta test someone stole the skills' client files from us. They put them onto their running server's client, and said that they are the first Hungarian server with 7 skills (even if they weren't working perfectly at all), and we just stole their ideas. Unfortunately most of the players believed them.

    But it's not the only time that something like this happens. Perhaps this is true only for the Hungarian mentality, but on the biggest Hungarian dev forum we often read topics which are discussing how they can also create our ideas that we were posting pictures about. Sometimes they succeed, more often not, but it doesn't change the substance.

    So this is why I'm a bit sensitive to this thread. I never said that it's impossible that someone thought about merging these maps before us, I'd be surprised if we were the first ones. But I've never seen any server who's already done it. That's why I don't want anyone to also do it before we start. Sorry again if I hurted anyone with my last post.

  5. It's so sad that many people don't have their own ideas, they rather steal anothers'. As far as I know, the merged map1-4s are made firstly in our upcoming project called SY2, and we don't really like people stealing our ideas. We are publishing pictures about them to keep our future players excited, and show other developers why they should join our team, not to give everyone else new ideas. I don't mind if someone thinks them further and create something more unique and awesome, which becomes very different than the main idea - we've also done it many times. But just copying others' work... Well, it's just patronizing attitude in my eyes.

  6. The season4 finale starts in today at 9PM on HBO. This episode will be 66 minutes long, and they are promising the most exciting season finale ever. I'm really curious about what they can show us after 'The Viper and the Mountain' episode. What do you think? :) (please avoid spoilers)
