Yesterday I posted a request for updates on a few issues that affect Unity on the GN forums. Luca responded quite promptly but alas, he was unable to provide any new information.
I have copied the questions and answers below
Would you please provide an update on the following issues?
Shard status seem to constantly show "online" and population "low"
Security certifiacate for horizons.eu.istaria.com has expired
Web access to the stocks of items held on Imperial connies
Plot reclamation of expired accounts
Dear Player,
nothing has changed about the issues listed in your post since the last communications made during the past few months. If we had any news about them it would have been made public already, but the recap where we stand:
The shard status stopped working after the consolidation process and this is due to the non-propietary coding of the login website which has not been developed by Game Network Online.
The security certificate hasn't been updated yet as we (Game Network Online) are not the owners of the domain.
Web access to the consigners would require a different kind of website for the game (which again hasn't been developed internally). This is planned and currently in concept, but not with top priority level.
Plot reclamation. We've been asked by David Bowman to wait for the process to be complete before we can run the same process on Unity. It will start only when a precise plan can be set for the European shard.
I'm afraid I'm not saying anything new, but hopefully this will satisfy your curiosity.
Take care,
Luca
I would be grateful if Tulga could shed any light on a possible resolution to these issues, in particular the security certificate and shard status issue.
Regards
