Training is now optional
« on: Saturday, August 09, 2014, 02:21:04 AM »
We have an important announcement today!

After much consideration, we have decided it best to remove the training requirement for playing online. The training was originally implemented to retain the authentic gameplay and as a deterrent for banned users creating a second account before we had manual account activation.

Taking a look at the information we have as far as player statistics, it was shocking to see how many new accounts never completed basic training in order to play online. By removing the training requirement, we are hoping to boost the number of in-game players substantially. If you know anyone that has uninstalled or given up before finishing training, please encourage them to come back and enjoy the game.

A mass email will be sent out shortly to announce this major update.

ELiZ!

The problem is, newer accounts can't play.
It looks as if they're not activated.

I already tried adding the accounts to the activated list manually, but it doesn't work. Teddy tried another one of his accounts and the same thing happened. BTID was 843335
It seems like all accounts made after activation was required are not being allowed to play. In other words, all the accounts that were manually activated can't play.
zork's BTID is : 840410

Sorry about that.

When I said that training requirement is disabled, there were also a rather radical change on the backend of the Auth server and how it handles accounts, that was causing the problems. I could not test the new component before we went live.

Mr_Gunman-GB Fortunately for you, The Barnyard doesn't play every day mdr, I'm sorry, I didn't mean any disrespect, I was joking against Joe, who comes to complain in the chatbox, rather than on the server mdr
Mr_Gunman-GB 3D [ASSIST]
CLLC, 30 players.... So that translates as 20 players, plus 10 Barnyard guys who only ever play once a week. AAT get 20 players most of the week. ;)

I judge such people on my server..I don't like it when someone cheats in any way..and there are candidates who kill me in an impossible way and so for 20 years
Showtime 3D [ASSIST]
but i won't judge
Showtime 3D [ASSIST]
i think there's no huge cheaters but sometimes i have a feeling like some have no recoil, automatic shoot on burst rifles or something like that because having 30/3 score, killign me 3 times in a row with single bullet is weird
Nicotine 3D [ASSIST]
