    Many of you have been asking which version we are going to use, and it's going to be 19xx this time around instead of the older 1299 or the more recent 18xx that we used in Vulcano.

    Turns out 1299 actually has several disadvantages:
    I'm sorry, while I completely agree in principle, your entire list makes no sense...?

    -Ver. 1299 doesn't allow more than 1500 users.
    Not a big deal because of subservers/zone changes (which aren't fully supported in the unofficial files), but it's not true; back in KO Crusade I tested increasing the limit, which really didn't take more than half an hour. It worked well, though caused a crash I didn't have time to deal with, with other issues at the time, simply because I patched one too many things (I patched something unrelated by accident), and was too busy with other issues at the time to run through the list to see which one shouldn't have been there. Otherwise, it worked fine without too much hassle.

    -Ver. 1299 servers are often chaotic on release due to the amount of people trying to log at the same time, which leads to unwanted disconnections and various other login issues that aren't present in 19xx servers.
    This is very vague and generic, but I can't actually think of any 'unwanted disconnections' or 'various other login issues' that affect 1.298 OR newer clients (/ servers). The only issue that comes to mind is the client spamming the server at the server list, but that still exists even in 2.0xx.
    It's a bit of a stab in the dark, but I'm going to have to assume you mean its reliance on its single-threaded separate-process Aujard setup in place of a multithreaded database request setup as your files are now using, but that's actually something you could have done with 1.298 if you cared to; the only thing needed changing was the main request handler. I haven't done this on the database-request side because it isn't a huge deal (so long as the procs are running fast, it's fast enough to leave alone), but I did make the requests themselves multithreaded, over TCP/IP rather than its dodgy shared memory setup.
    Just bear in mind that official files still use shared memory in the exact same way, I changed this, because the setup made no sense to me. While the shared memory setup suffers performance wise, it does actually offer one benefit -- preserving data in case of a crash, which you can use to ensure everyone's saved. To combat this, I just save more frequently and implement a crash handler to attempting saving on crash.

    -Ver. 1299 requires a server restart everytime the login server goes down.
    That's not a limitation of 1.298 / stock files though, that's most certainly a limit of your login server / custom stuff. I've never had to do that once with 1.298.

    -Ver. 1299 has more lenience when it comes to creating / using cheats.
    This isn't true either. If your argument is more you have access to implement more prevention, being you have access to the source code, then sure. But of course that applies to 1.298 as well.
    There's really only one improvement 1.9xx has over 1.298 in that specific department; (slightly) improved movement updates, making speed hacking so much easier to check for. Having said that, they also disabled the packets they used for their speedhack checks, so you win some, you lose some....

    *None of the above can be fixed in the 1299 version due to how old the files are, and the way its database is structured.
    Oddly enough, the database layout has never been much of an issue. For the most part, anything important is accessed indirectly, so you can change it as you please. That said, none of the above even relate to the database, so...

    There's a lot of reasons for using 1.9xx over 1.298, but not a single one of the listed reasons even make sense...

    The main reason is, they worked on the client for a long time and thus they force themselves to use it. They could use the old files that would still work, but the 19xx client provides some new money making methods (cospre items) so they decide not to.

    I mean I kind of understand that after working on something for a long time, it would feel bad to just throw it all away and stick to the old stuff. But I'm afraid that the older client is what most people prefer after all.

    I see that the replies about announcements have come quickly, I understand that server owners or regular players that play in other servers see us as a threat, it's part of the challenge and I understand it, thank you for your comments, but I know what I'm saying.

    I hope that someday I can read criticism from someone that has been able to sustain a server and keep a good reputation for so long like us, in any case, this is a free forum and your criticism is welcome, it helps us improve

    The 19xx version gives us improvements in the game's playability, not related to money making, because in the 1299 version you could sell PUS items with the same cospre characteristics, by the way, in the announcement it is stated that we won't sell cospre items , I believe some of you should learn the post again so you understand what Kratos is all about

    See you all tomorrow in the Beta

    twostars. do you realize that if you stopped sitting on this forum and typing pages of bullshit daily, maybe your server would already be finished & ready? I hope this time you wont just ban turkey ip to save your server from ddos like you did the last time.

    So... you're completely dismissing everything I said without even bothering to clarify any one of the points on your list, just because it was me who said something? Really? ;_;
    Well, whatever... I guess I shouldn't have expected any real response anyway...

    I was really hoping I was just missing something that you didn't explain well enough in your post though.

    I'd really like to have faith in at least one person (or well, one project, since Professor isn't a developer) working with the source, but when they post nonsense like that, it's really hard...

    I'm sorry I offended any OSKO fanboys who can't see the BS for themselves when it's staring them in the face. For the record though, I've never blacklisted Turkish IP ranges -- if they were blacklisted, it was done so automatically because the abuse was coming from those IP addresses, not because they were generically blacklisted.

    Jesus, people.

    Yeah, I get that. I wouldn't want to go back either. The reasons for doing so just seem so contrived though; literally not a single one of the reasons listed is a valid reason. Of all the compelling reasons to pick, lol

    Typical, "We failed even though we generate tons of money off you dumbasses who keep returning over and over after every single wipe, so we will do another wipe!"

    I think the only who wiped servers was you and not us

    Also we have disabled many stuff from our pus, so that argument of "money making" really doesn't work and i don't know why you care so much how much we could earn, also i dont get how a double face person like you have blood on his face to keep posting here despite all what you have done when i decided to trust you once, long time ago.

    This isnt about being a fan boy. I can compare you to the kids that watch boxing and say he shouldve done this or that while they havent even thrown a punch. You forget the excuses you made when you were a big part of nodramako. I genuinely hope your server is a success but overtime I have realized that you are mostly all talk.

    I recall giving Professor ideas on how to make money out of this and him rejecting it respectfully.

    Money making? Maybe enough to pay Netflix monthly, but certainly not a scam like most of the other servers.

    I got nothing personal against you, but OldSchoolKO has proven us nothing apart of big money-whore bullcrap over and over again, and that's exactly what you are aiming for right now once again. You had success no doubt on that one, but to me it's starting to be 1 big money-project and for me that's not what KO private servers should be made for.

    Yes, you're right about the fact that people criticize you while they have no idea about the developing thing themselves. And i admire your skills and what you've accomplished in the KO private server scene, but your goals is nothing apart of money, and you can't deny that.

    Let alone the fact that you couldn't care less about the players their work in your server, and the amount of money they've put in when you wipe their characters and items over and over again. I honestly speaking don't care about that because i know it's a private server, but i can imagine some people would really feel fucked over when they log in and see all their hours of playtime are gone once again.

    Anyways, i'm done judging you about how you run your server, i left this server long time ago and won't be bothered coming back at all as i have more fun in USKO, and i'm pretty sure it'll stay like that. Good luck with your new server Kratos.
