    Does anyone else think world saves are way too frequent? It literally feels like they're happening every 15 minutes, which severely interferes with the flow of the game.

    I am not trying to moan, I just feel like it's happening too much. Can't it be like every hour?

    This is the exact reason. It could stand to be bumped out a bit IMO as well. Either way, pick your poison - you get slightly shorter saves more frequently, or longer saves less often. There are a lot of items in the world to backup.

    The saves wouldnt be longer if their spacing is stretched out, afaik. Less frequent saves would be great.

    It really messes up with macros when they're this frequent.

    While they do seem frequent, I never felt they interfere with my gameplay. Could be worse and have server restarts, that would create some havoc with macros. I wouldn't oppose a longer delay if it doesn't cause Chris any backside issues.

    Something something old ass game something something dual core was amazing 15 years ago.

    Given time I'm sure I could figure out a way to just have streaming replication and negate the need to have world saves, only the world exports. But honestly even if the world save times were cut in half i doubt many would feel the pain we do with 8-10 seconds.

    Oh, do you make the changes? Sorry, I'm quite new here :)

    It's not so much about that... it's more to do with macros in razor. The world save interrupts them massively because if they are every 15 minutes, the macro will get confused when the save commences and there will be a time out of 5 minutes, meaning I'm losing a fair chunk of time for skill gains. Do you have any tips on how to alleviate this at least?

    r click things like "wait for target" and set the timeout (in seconds not ms). If you doing something else that can timeout but you cant set it (i guess things with gumps probably), then just do a simple if "save" in sysmessage statement before them and if its saving or that 15 seconds until save message is present trigger a pause through the save then continue.

    im not so bothered about the frequency, but more about the length...
    i mean ppl hoarded gazzilions of TRASH just for when CUB would be launched (soon).

    go on test server and the save takes barely 1 second (compared to 9+ on live server)


    i see this solve in 2 ways:
    not wait for cub & trash EVERYTHING that is realy trash
    launch cub and hope those non playing vets with the gazzilion of trash, clean up.... for starter.


    i wouldnt be suprised if cub starts & the trash doesnt get cleaned up because the owners dont play here no more but houses are refreshed for eternity.

    I don't mind the frequency too much as I have been in quite a few rollbacks due to sever issues. UOR seems pretty stable so could be pushed back to 30 min and wouldn't be too bad of a do-over if it ever happened. Then again they aren't all saves, some are data transfers to backup.

    I will say that when I started on Dec 02 the save time was 8 seconds, it is now 9-10... I blame it on CuB stashes. :)

    We could, uh... we could put a naked girl on the flag, with, like, big whoppers. And she's sittin' in her doorway, and you're walkin' through town, and she's like, "Hey, stranger, come over here." And you're like, "What do you want, woman?" And she's like, "so you can come in and have supper at my place." And you're like, "But I'm a good Christian man with a wife at home. I can't be hangin' around with strange women." And she's like, "I ain't gonna bite you, mister." And you're like, "I don't know..." But then, all of a sudden, the rain starts commin', almost as if God himself is pushin' you toward her doorway. So, you go in, and she's sittin' down and she's got a hot meal, and it's been a long time for you've had a hot meal and a cold pillow. So, you sit down, and she takes a napkin, and tucks it into your collar. Now, it's been a long time for you've felt the fingers of a woman, so you're gettin' mighty excited. Then, all of a sudden, her sisters come over, and you're like, "How many sisters?" One sister. Two sister. Three sister. Four sister. Five sister. Five sisters come over. So you're like, "Oh my God, I gotta get outta here, the devil is temptin' me." But, then, all of a sudden, her clothes fall off. And you're like, "What? How did that happen? A woman's clothes just fall right off her body?" Then your clothes fall of and you're like, "What? What's goin' on here?" Then an earthquake happens. You both land in the tub...

    Wait... what...?!? What happened?!

    no backup for 30 minutes... it was all a dream...

    Not sure what game you're playing there. Only time I ever get my pants removed by a woman in this game is when [A] comes in for a surprise attack and literally takes them from my corpse. ^ Sounds like a good time though.
