AoC: Letter from the Game Director 12/05/2008
Posted December 5th, 2008 by Martuk
Age of Conan Hyborian Adventures was set to receive its first server merger this week, but due to some technical problems the merger had to be delayed. Today Ten Ton Hammer has acquired a copy of Funcom's Game Director Craig 'Silirrion' Morrison's 'Letter from the Game Director' in which he explains the reason for the delay and Funcom's plans on moving forward.
Basically, on Wednesday when we came to do the first live merges we encountered an issue with the structure of our data that we hadn’t found or experienced during testing. This issue caused there to be a risk, on some servers, under specific circumstances, of items having non-unique identifiers in our database. This in turn might have lead to some cases of player’s items not surviving the merge. It didn’t happen at all during our testing, and may have been (in the scale of all players and all items in the game) a possibly rare occurrence. However this was not an area where the team and I were willing to take any risks with whatsoever.
