Server move complete

Dear Players,

some technical problems cropped up when we were moving the servers so some services (UK forum for example) could be returned only now.

We are very sorry for any inconveniece caused by this but unfortunately all we could do was to wait for the technicians to finish their work.

As a compansation for all the troubles we are giving all players 5 free days of premium tomorrow (23 April 2009).

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Yours BW Team

It has been a bit of a pain but thank you for your generosity

I was guna complain about us not getting back on till 8pm.. i was very angry to see people were on since 4pm that day, and that the polish were given a back door to get online.

But the free premium is well worth it (and the downtime got me the deadly shorts of rouge for 2 SS)

Will the main page be changing any time? Or will we always be logging in through a polish main page?

It will be changed. I can see it now, if you can't, you have to wait until your dns will refresh (usually about 2-12h).

Thanks Wink

Why do people get back into the system at different times? Is there anything we can do to speed it up the next time anything like this happens? =]

That's a shame - I like the multi-server log in - it makes it easier to swap between them I think.

Oh well, what will be, will be. Thanks for the premium. Wink

its still their.. i can get to both!

I had the old bws homepaged, so when i click homepage i get the one with em all... but when i log in and then log out, im left in the uk only drop down

So perhaps there is some way that you can use both aswell

Glad to see the UK board back up. Wouldn't have minded the one server for all logins tbh, cos I use a few servers to made it easier for the day lol.

Fair play on giving the 5 days Prem =) Little gestures like that go a long way.

Glad to see it all back up and running Smile

thank you

thanks sj, oh so generous.

However, am i the only one seeing a very smooth marketing plan here? :3

if all players get premium, it might give incentive for more players to buy premium Tongue

hats off to you, marketing directors.

Posted by RinghamEnderol on 04-22-2009 at21:46:

do u not pay for premium already?
do we not all get free premium when we start anyway?

maybe not so much marketing as u think

yes as much marketing as you think
the prem at the beginning is a marketing ploy...

'tis basic psychology my friend.

start someone on premium, 24 quests 16 attacks is the 'anchor' to which all future comparisons are made. (also the 'recharge rate' of 1 quest/hour, 1 attack/1h30, which is then doubled for non premium)

halving it naturally persuades people to desire premium, having tried it already and being much better than the alternative ^^

This is getting offtopic. Don't make the hand of Raxis come down and warn you.

I wondered what happened lol. Thanks for the premium

Posted by Kalessin on 04-23-2009 at08:31:

Raxis, discussion of the motives for the free premium this thread is about is entirely on topic far as I can tell Smile

o_t_n, sorry but if they don't make money from the game, they can't continue to run it! I don't think it's a cunning subliminal ploy at all, I think it's a damn fine gift, thanks Sze Smile

But even if it was, what's wrong with that?! They've got to make a living, or we'd lose the game... it was bad enough going without it for a day Tongue

There ARE benefits to premium, and they DO make the game better.. that's the point, you don't get something for nothing in this life Tongue

I'm just glad everything's up and running. Thanks again Smile

Free premium has been added to all players. Have fun!
