Happy New Year!

1000th post!

Also Happy New Year!

Happy New Year. :)

Wasn't breakfast free? Can't we exchange breakfast for a ration?

There were free bread and water for breakfast, you could stuff some rolls in your pockets and take it as food if you want :), not full rations but better than nothing :)

Do we need to find Burne? Velox already did and we are all going to the same place.

Not really but others in your group expressed the desire to do so.

Repost from RPOL Announcements:

New Server

Please be aware that we will "shortly" be moving RPoL to a shiny new server in a different location (Silicon Valley, California).

RPoL has been running off it's current software for about nine years now.  The operating system is out of date and no longer supported.  The hardware was upgraded once, three years ago, but the hard drives are the original and one has failed.  It's time to move to a newer operating system and newer equipment.

Our current host (NetDepot) has been very good to us but pricing has unfortunately increased for a modern equivalent of what we currently have.  Additionally virtualisation allows for a dedicated-like experience at a fraction of the cost.  In this instance 19/52s of a fraction, or around 36.5% of our current cost (if you want to be all user-friendly about it).

We'll be going from 3 GB memory to 8, a faster CPU (though less cores), and storage will be nice and fast on SSD (rather than 9 year old spinning disks).  Initial testing is promising and the new server looks very fast (up to 4 times faster for a very complex page), though take that with a grain of salt as it's not under any load at the moment.

Due to the fact we have to move a lot of data between locations there will be some downtime while the new server is updated with the latest from the current.  I will do dry runs before the final migration to give you a better estimate of the time it will take.

I'm not sure when exactly.  NetDepot have informed us they need to move our server in the next few days so it'd be nice to get it done by then, but I don't think I'd have sufficient testing by then to be comfortable to pull the trigger.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just want you guys to be aware of this situation, I'm not sure when it will happen but if you come by the site and it's not working please remember they are migrating to new servers and try again later :)

Little under the weather, hope to update tomorrow.

Getting married this Saturday, so will be slow to post and might not post till Tuesday.

Congrats and thanks for the heads up.

Note to Self owe XP for Monstrous Spider encounter for Velox group
Note to Self owe XP for Giant Frog encounter for Ailishi group

I'm beginning to wonder if the only enemies in this module are frogs and spiders... lol

Sadly you'll find out there are other things in the not to far future depending which way you go.

In reply to DM (msg # 315):

Are they done with the frogs? How far out is the other group? I am game for having them catch up and join us.

They are at the frog pond right now :)
Looks like they are stopping to eat too :)

Hmm, well in that case we'll keep on keeping on. Until we find our Aspirant I can't see Velox sitting around...

In reply to Velox (msg # 318):

I'll get a post up to move things along. We can field dress this thing and move along.

I'm enjoying the banter around the campfire :)

My mothers birthday today and my brothers tomorrow, will be away a bit, will update probably Sunday :)

In reply to DM (msg # 321):

Is there a map available? If not, am I in melee with the bandit leader or the average bandits?

I've not made one :(

I can try to get one ready but will take til Sunday night probably when I have time :(.

You are near the average bandits, Furnok is beside the bandit leader :)

Do we have expectations in terms of posting rates during combat? Milander hasn't been online since it was announced that it was his turn.

EDIT: Nevermind.

I don't know what do you guys think is fair, 48 hours?

In reply to DM (msg # 325):

Do we have to post in exact initiative order or can we post in groups.
