ABIOGENESIS CANCELLED

Michael Samyn's picture
We had to cancel ABIOGENESIS because our servers can't handle the amount of people that showed up. We're very sorry about this. We're flattered that you all want to attend the show. And we wish we could have massive parties like this. But apparently we can't.

We'll need to find a solution for this if we're ever going to do ABIOGENESIS again.

Because im not particularly bright right, but i was wondering.

Now do the servers handle the site as well? because that crashed at the same time. And if they did handle the site, maybe when there is an ABIO you could shut the site down to free up more space? Or does that not work....

First, thanks again. Too bad

First, thanks again. Too bad it couldn't happen, but ah well.
Second, I have one idea...you could make them all surprise abios. That might or might not help.
But if you wanted to make them non-surprise, I guess you'd have to find another way, yeah. Sad

It's okay Michael and Auriea!

It's okay Michael and Auriea! We all had a blast dancing and partying BEFORE the party! It was literally a party before the party! <3 Thanks for trying and hope you can get it fixed so we can have massive parties like this! 8D

I think you'd have to have surprise abios if you want to have them.
Too many people who never regularly play show up just for the abio. Sad
I was hoping I could actually see one for once.

Aw, mann.
I think, when we have another Abio, we need to ask who all wants to attend over a week, make a list, and separate them into two or three groups, depending on how many people are in the lists, and then have the first group go into the forest and have the abio, then the second the next day, and so on.

Real shame but thank you for the attempt.

With over 140 people it would to be split into at least two separate sessions, but three would be better cause there will always be people who do not fill out the list or just show up randomly :x

A small community is great, but it's these very obstacles that make the game grow and expand ;3

I also agree with what Vcg said about a better server, though they cost more money..

Well, thank you for trying, and I'm sorry it's just not logistically possible. If I wasn't jobless and struggling to pay rent, I would donate towards a bigger server fund. I truly hope to see one of these events someday!

Well, I really was looking forward to it but it is alright, it was crazy party-before-the-party. Couldn't you limit the amount of players that enter on the days you had Abiogenesis so it doesn't go overboard?

Perhaps some better servers

Perhaps some better servers are in order for events such as this? I'm certain it would be better, especially if you wish to run such events in the Future.

I for one would enjoy a more powerful server first before any new additions to The Endless Forest comes, new pelts, etc. places to visit can wait in my regards. We need a stronger server :3

we're having our own

we're having our own mini-abio party at de drinkplaats.

If you're reading this and in game then head over.

And that means actually come dance with us, don't sit on the edge like a weenie because you want to show off your set. Eye Take it off and join in the fun.

thats kinda why i

thats kinda why i thought...maybe if the servers of the game and site were linked, the site could be shut down...but im probably talkin nonsense.
The Soul Of Souls

I'm certain they get enough

I'm certain they get enough donations at times between games. Or have we forgotten that Donations are there?

I'm sorry to be a spoiled sport in the sense but it's something that I mill over a lot. Setting aside other things for a better server and saving up for one isn't too difficult unless you make it difficult.

Then again I'm likely being the idiot I always am and putting too much thought into things like usual.

Ah well :'c

Ah well :'c

D: Oh no. All I can think of

D:
Oh no.
All I can think of for a solution is
1. A better server - but that's stretching the budget :S
2. Having more than one Abio so as to split the numbers - but then it's not a community event...
I don't know. > Thank you for trying. <3

I really don't think

I really don't think donations alone are enough to support the cost of a new server. The one they're using right now is itself a donation.

Yup, on making one of my

Yup, on making one of my games the question of a server came into play, too.
I think ours was around $40 monthly - which was a lot!
And of course, that server I imagine was much weaker than The Endless Forest server.
So it's probably very expensive, sadly.
I do agree though about looking forward to new pelts and a server, perhaps one sunny day :3
That's not to say it'll happen, but hope is human! (laughs)

Lets not turn this into a server argument <3 yes they cost money etc, but that doesn't stop it from being the only real all-rounder solution to the capacity problem as TEF grows in popularity, as people are simply pointing out, not demanding it be so (;

Thanks for trying though M&A! I saw 137 people connected at one point, that's got to be a record, and I loved seeing the house at the drinkplatts! It's great to see so many people on making their own Abio, I'm still only at half picto-spread haha.

Catch you next time <3

@ Vag: Agreed, it's not too much to hope for such a thing. In the end I'm certain that SOMETIME there will likely be a new server IF everyone puts their mind to it. It's a thought to consider.

That way you won't overload the server since our normal 20-60 will only be on.
