Hey People,

So the "PK Channel" hasnt got the best of reputations with it wiping everyone, but the good side of it is that that channel is pretty lagless.. I guess the bad outweighs the good though so...

I'v figured out a method where I could Add MORE Channels for leveling and atleast 1 channel for PVP and these channels would be hosted on the same dedicated server meaning no delay in data to the database = A much slimmer chance of being wiped (Same chance as s1). Also, there would be way less lag if everyone was split up across the channels and addtionally if 1 channel gets "Spiked" (Get a conenction error) then you can simply go on another channel and play.

There is a downside however, I would need to create a patcher to start each channel. So for example if you wanted to go Channel 3 you would need to quit the game and start up "FlyForHero Channe 3 Patcher" . This would patch 1 thing in your flyff folder and allow you to access channel 3, however once your running through the "FlyForHero Channel 3 Patcher" you will not be able to connect to the other channels ( You would need to quit flyff and start with a different channel patcher ) .

I dont know if you guys are to lazy to go ahead with that but heh, its better then getting wiped. I would need to fully upgrade the dedicated server so it would be able to run so many channels on the same device, SO I dont want to upgrade and then see no ones actually using the other channels.

I hope I didnt make that to complicated >_>

Leave your thoughts about this idea, if your for or against.

Eh O.o .. if we did do a event on a certain channel we would make an announcement which all channels could see so everyone knows whats going on, and less lag yush.

hmm... considering that the only drawback would be quitting flyff to start up a different channel patcher file, I say that this idea would be a terrific idea! I think that if there are more channels to choose from, people will use them (although I can never be entirely sure of that). However, I can say that I am open to this idea and that I would personally make use of each channel (I like the idea that if a channel gets spiked, I can always keep playing on a different channel, that would be a life-saver). Anyways, its a good idea so you have my support! Go Dex!
