Well, if you want people to join the mass test today, it would have been nice if you had mirrored tranquility before the mass test.

Removed post that were requesting activation.

hi, i bought Omega 2 days ago, how i can have Omega on Sisi too? I know you can do it by waiting to next mirror, any other possible ways to do it?

You will have to wait for the next mirror.

May I ask why? I remember in the past there was a thread in which you could post on and request a activation. Now that Omega/Alpha was implemented, it seems that it was expected that the commands to change status was to take over this process. However, if you're going to disable the commands, you should bring back the thread for activation. I understand that the /omega command was presenting itself with a lot of server problems, but you can't allow a select few ruin the experience for everyone. If /copyskills can access the TQ database, check data, and copy it back to Sisi, you can most definitely make a command or even a automatic update that checks a players account status and updates it on Sisi. There has been several posts about this, and yet its been MONTHS, and no progress or updates at all. The amount of work required would be minimal, especially considering you could copy most of the work from other commands.
At the very least, could you find a date for when mirrors will be taken, and properly release it ahead of time? This mirror was announced after they had taken it/were taking it.
Another easy solution I can think of would be to allow players that participate in the mass test keep omega status when they use the command. So far, the past 3 mass tests you have enabled /omega on the day of the test. The first, players kept Omega for a week (7 days - or so it seemed). The second, Omega was taken away from players that participated in the mass test within a day, and before players even received their SP. The third, players were reacquainted with Alpha within several hours of the mass test being over. At the very least, you could allow mass testers that are stuck in alpha to keep Omega for a week, as for they are active testers. Of course this could bring up problems with Alt accounts and such, but then again this would only allow Omega for a week.
I'm sorry for the long post, but this seems to be a long, annoying battle for all players that are stuck in Alpha, but are actively paying a subscription. Players with Sisi access undoubtedly have a unfair access to resources, fit testing, strategy testing, and fun compared to those stuck without, and are made to wait at least 3 months.

So basically we've regressed back years as far as support for getting on SiSi between mirrors, and done away with the activation thread, nice.

Good to see :thumbsup:




Edit: To add a serious contribution to the thread, you guys should get a /copyaccountstatus command active so people can copy their paid account status from TQ.

I've always assumed they don't have the TQ database cluster accessible from the SiSi cluster, and are probably doing some kind of internal RPC call from SiSi server < - > TQ server < - > DB/Cache cluster when you do /copyskills, instead of direct database access. So they could do the same thing for copyskills and make a copyaccountstatus.

If not, I believe they said they use MSSQL, which can do linked servers, and jobs. They could grab the accounts active in the last day or week on SiSi and copy the status from TQ (then it's only touching TQ as needed, scheduled for some kind of regular low usage time.)

But alas, I'm not going to tell them all the different ways they could do it. They obviously figured it out for copyskills.

Also I'm sure they don't want to just set everyone to omega, then free accs could just play full on SiSi. Better to copy status from TQ.

I am curious as to why I can log other characters onto SiSi. But not Sokoris.

u got to wait for the full mirror in June
