I am quite impressed with the latest version. The developer has done an excellent job, and I am very pleased with its current state. I am, however, displeased with the fact that I cannot remove the default maps from its auto-discovery. You’ll note “eagleworld2_the_end” is in the list, which I will not allow anyone to go to. Instead, for boss-raiding, we will use the “theend” level, to make our lives easier when typing /world. Oh, well. I’ll have to do more digging around and see if I can effectively remove it from Dynmap.

Consider yourself signed up! Plots are on an as-requested basis, so we’ll get you hooked up in the Heights.

Melany answered you below. And yes, she’s correct.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I also have to say, I love your way of putting it.

Thanks for answering! This is correct, except that users will need to have their rank reassigned when you log in the first time. This will be for security reasons, as I have too many privileged users that are inactive. I want to only reassign users their rights on an as-requested basis.

Note that NOBODY will lose their rank. In fact, a decent amount of you will probably see promotions when you log in the first time. This is only to lock down the server and keep security tip-top.

Consider yourself signed-up. The invalid server key thing is just something I’m getting on the current transitional prod server. I don’t think you’ll have the same problem when we go full prod again.

However, if it is what I think it is, occasionally the server will not authenticate a user if you attempt to log in multiple times too quickly (such as if you log in, crash, then log back in right away). It needs to fulfill a timeout window before you can log in again. In that case, just wait 2-3 minutes and try again.

Ok im going to answer this for you but im not 100% sure im right. When you log on the server right now it is vanilla. You do not have a rank or anything. Until the server is back up to where it was you don’t need one.
The server was set so people could test. When eagleworld is fully updated you will still have your rank.

Hi Pete,

I keep getting some sort of “invalid server key” error when I try to join. I wait a few minutes and it usually clears right up.

Also, sign me up for Ironforge as well, please!
