ADMIN

Hello, As we already announced before the start, the first Castle Siege will be held tomorrow (30.03.2019) from 17:00. But, there will be no rewards for winners, except the experience with our custom CS system and the advantage of being defenders on the next CS. All the CS rewards are progressive and each week will have one of them released. Because this first CS won't have any rewards, and because there are 5 guilds that wants to participate at it, we decided to leave our OldSquad slot at CS for the Guild with the most signs of lord registered. So, instead of 3 participants, there will be 4 participants at the first CS, the guild with most signs will get our place and will start as defenders. With that being said, the sign of lord registration is extended until tonight at 00:59 (Saturday 00:59 server time). Start putting up signs if you want to join the CS, as one of the 5 guilds won't have slot, based on the number of signs registered, while the one with the most signs will start as defenders! Cheers!

The VIP has been delivered! It looks like the problem didn't appeared again after moving to the new machine, despite passing the previous record of 510-515 online when it started to happen (553) . We're still monitoring things out, but so far looks good. Cheers!

Good luck with your guild and hopefully see ya at CS.

Maintenance is over, everything is back and running. We hope that the problem is fixed now under the new machine. Only time will tell us. Please let us know if you find anything wrong after this maintenance via PM or facebook page. As a compensation for your patience everyone will receive 2 days of Hunter VIP - Phoenix and Silver VIP - 50RR & NonRR (will be activated this evening so everyone can join back before activation). Those who already had a VIP active will get an extension of 3 days. Cheers!

Welcome back and good luck!

All scripts are back up, CS server is up (and you can register for CS). Also during today the Goldens +3 will be released as well. The biggest part of preparation for migration is almost done, we are still running tests on the new machine to make sure everything is ready for the move. It will take place today at around 13:30-14:30. There will be a ~10-20 minutes maintenance and you'll have to manually rejoin the servers (reconnect won't work due to switching machines). Cheers!

Hello, Since yesterday at around 16:30 we've noticed that our data server kept failing for around 4-5 hours, every 20-60 minutes. We've been troubleshooting the problem for the last 24 hours along with our devs and our host manager. Unfortunately we tried everything to find and fix the problem (and we thought we did it, as it stopped yesterday evening) but it seems that it appeared again today. We've also turned off 60% of our scripts/systems in the process of troubleshooting, which will be back shortly. We also noticed that it happens only when we reach a certain amount of players online (around 510-515). So we have blocked slots at 505 for now (and it seems that it stopped) and we'll manually disconnect AFK chars (dead players from cities) when the limit will be reached. Our only solution left is to migrate to a new machine on a fresh windows as it is most likely something from windows (nothing else left untried or unchecked). The migration will take some time as we have to configure the machine and reinstall everything we have for all of our servers. We're really sorry for the discomfort created but be sure that we're doing our best to make sure that you have a great gaming environment. There will be some compensation for this situation but we'll speak more after we make sure everything is fine. Thanks for understanding and for your patience!

This things are isolated cases and have nothing to do with our server/network (check online players, there are players from first minute of server without a single reconnect or disconnect). In your end can be lot of things: packet loss, high latency with our server, bad dns (use google dns), limited bandwidth, isp problems, etc. If you can't hold 3 accounts then don't play with 3.

You compare fresh top servers that use "Online players: + 500" on website with no fake online 4-8 months old servers from oldsquad? Wait for phoenix and you'll see real population, not fake one.

The last surprise that Phoenix brings to our community is a brand new redesign of our website! We really hope that you'll enjoy it and please let us know if you find anything wrong (there are still some details missing or wrong, but we're working on it). Cheers!

And why is that? Because no more donations / enough people after x months :). Everyone can dream of 1-2 years servers, but useless if they leave after few months (you're the same case). Idk why ppl talk about years when they play few months no matter what. Play how much you want, we find our own ways to survive despite leavers. Yes, we release new servers so we survive. We don't depend on anyone at all, whoever wants to play will play, we will do our things no matter what people do. If we consider that we can keep a server up for more than 8-12 months we'll do it, if we consider that we want to release new servers we'll do it. It's our own time and work and we decide what we do with it depending on how things work, not anyone else's decision :). Ppl are here to 'consume' what we offer and that's it. If they don't like how we do things or what we offer they'll find other things, in their place will come new ppl from marketing and on new editions, everyone is happy.

CW mobs have same stats like similar level mobs (for example, Condras). We can't balance mobs DMG around EE, that would mean defence would be useless for all chars except EE. But, because we increased Def from AGI for most classes and because EE doesn't have anything to raise her survival, we will give her the soldier buff automatically even after level 250+ (for EE's only, based on the same EE rule like for PvP). No, we nerfed DMG buff more than DEF buff, as the dmg it matters more when it comes to PvP / Hunt / etc. between ppl with buff and people without buff. Also, dmg was nerfed more due to other reasons like global pvp dmg increase, etc.

After the rework of spots/mobs Kalima is nice. The advantage is that you are safer from PK compared to other maps. Spots/drops/mobs are the same like any monsters of their levels. Not sure if I can do that with ww ring, but I'll try. About CW - mobs should be better after the mobs rework (you can test). Also ingredients drops were boosted a little. It is already, on NonReset as well, but only for BC and DS it's possible and you also lose the event participation, you can only come back for the exp/drops after reconnect.

It's funny how you still trash-talk here. Do you see any of our servers closed before 8-12 months? That is LONG-TERM. We can control how much server is online but we will never control how much people CHOOSE to play. Keep trash-talking and I promise you're out from here. Kisses.

Welcome back @aveee

Hello, The Public Test Server for Phoenix has been released. You can download the client from here: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/2919-phoenix-downloads/ The documentation for commands available on test server can be found here: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/2921-phoenix-test-server-commands/ You should know that the characters/skills haven't been touched yet (so chars settings are similar to nonrr for now). Also some things aren't finished yet, as we are still working hard to finish everything before the grand opening. But you can test up to 80% of content, so enjoy!

Thanks for your wishes! Really appreciated

Helpers are needed as they are. Why? Because server is designed to be progressed in a full party, and after some time the amount of new people is low, so much harder to have a 24/24 party of newbies in order to progress.

Hello, start by reading this guide:

Set multiple of 5 value on helper settings for buff.

All fine here. If error persists contact us on fb page and I'll make you a patch.

Again, let's talk shit because why not = ). I understand that you have some personal frustrations, but I'm not forced to swallow them. Of course that the offattack access was only added to make VIP more attractive under the circumstances where exp for VIP was reduced. Ofc that I argued about farmer-bots, it's the main reason that I don't wanna see autopick abused no matter what(not even hunter got it). The VIP attraction is the 2nd reason. I'm really amused by you and your friends for how trashy you speak about VIP price. 15e? 20e? It's 10e like always, in the conditions where you STAY AFK 24/24 FOR 7 DAYS. In any other condition where you play at least few hours per day, you can reduce its cost a lot. (even to 0 if you are hardcore, like ppl proved so many times). Again talking without any clue, you compare WoW and other MMO's that had millions of players where 100% of them were paying with a private MU server with few hundreds of players where 5-10% of them are donating. You have some real problems I guess. Prices are high because they can be reduced/cut to 0 just by playing (which no other game offer this). Sure, you want lower prices? No problem, but we'll remove any credits from game/web and leave vip/credits for donors only, with a lower price. It's my last reply for you, I lost valuable time already handling your frustrations. I can accept anything but trash-talk. Gud lack.

Uhm, so you're arguing with yourself, firstly you said it's "PAY2WIN" feature, now you say it's the same like any normal player. So, what is the "PAY2WIN" from it? If it's the same like any other player? Ofc there is nothing P2W in it, LOL, but you have an economy advantage if you have it. Simple, you are a casual that plays only AFK? Np, you either pay the electricity bills like normally or donate and get your offattack access to save up. We're not changing credits/vip systems except to what's already changed. Take it or leave it.

All services are back functional. Some chars got stucked as connected but we'll fix it tonight (if you rejoin yourself it will be fixed for you). Let us know if you have any issue. Everyone will receive 2 silver vip days as compensation (starting from tomorrow morning). Whoever does have it already will have an extension. Thanks for your patience!
