RESET RETURNS TO ITS TRADITIONAL TIME

by Hazed

Bella has rewritten the auto-reset code that has failed to work since Fed moved to the cloud, and the reset has now returned to its traditional time of 1.00pm server time. (That’s 8.00am eastern time.)

Unfortunately the game is being a bit too keen at the moment and on Saturday it reset twice, once at 1.00pm and then again an hour later at 2.00pm. Alan’s put in some debug code to find out why it’s doing a double reset. He’s also moved the time of the reset back a few minutes, just in case it’s something to do with the reset happening exactly on the hour.

You can check what time the reset is scheduled to happen by typing ‘TIME’. This tells you the current server time, and the scheduled time for the reset.

You can also find out what time the last reset was by looking at the text sent when you log on. It now shows you when the current game fired up:

Last reset at Sat Aug 4 14:00:12 2012
