Just to let everybody know, we have changed to that intermediate plan I mentioned. So far so good, the navigation seems to be much better. Let’s wait for the next FastTicker tick before taking any conclusions.

A little question, sorry if it was said somewhere :

If you win your national cup without being in the league in the places qualifying for an international cup , does it give you a place there ?
I believe it’s not the case for the moment is it ?
I just won the national cup in "medium ticker " but I’m in second division :p

Hi all,

I just registered and tried to join a team in MediumTicker, but when I click on “Manage this team” I get an error like this:

NoMethodError in GameController#manage_team
undefined method `season’ for nil:NilClass
RAILS_ROOT: /rubysoccer/config/..

+ a whole lot of other text. And the same happens for all teams.

Is there something wrong or is it just me?

Cheers!
Mika

RubySoccer has been pretty unstable these days due to our server change. The main reasons to that change are the several restrictions we had on our previous server, where we were not free to install everything we needed, had some random restarts (which occasionally ocurred during the ticks), misteriously defined cpu share and non-acceptance of paypal as a form of payment.

On this new server we tried to use a different configuration, which looked pretty good in the beginning, but once the ticks run the overall performance was totally compromised due to the low amount of memory available. Unfortunately we have moved back to almost the same configuration we had in the previous server, even though we have more room for changes and growth in the new one.

That said, we’re having a hard time deciding what to do. We’re planning to improve our plan so that we have more memory available and therefore a better navigation performance even when the tick is running and also faster ticks. Ideally we should upgrade to a plan twice as good as ours in order to benefit for all the changes we’ve made for that improved configuration, but we’re not willing to pay for that at the moment, so what’s probably gonna happen is that we take an intermediate one. Hopefully that should be enough for now.

Our game is free and will remain this way, that’s part of our philosophy. Donations are there to help us paying our server and domain costs and improve the service in the future when the game becomes more mature. Let’s put the numbers in the table so that everybody clearly knows where we stand:

-total expenses with servers and domain: US$114,70
-total donations (paypal taxes deducted): US$70,38
-number of donators: 5
-monthly expense on our current plan: US$20,00
-monthly expense on the intermediate plan: US$27,00
-monthly expense on the ideal plan: US$36,00

In the future we’ll have a donations page to display this kind of information.

Remember, we’re not here asking for donations, even though they would certainly help improving the game experience, all we want is make it clear for everybody where we stand infra-structure and financially-wise so you can understand all the unstability we had lately. We’re looking forward to fix that as soon as possible.

Let’s go play and have some fun! :-)

p.s.: Wow, this got to be the longest post I’ve ever written!

That’s the ideia Philipp, it’s just a matter of adapting the match logic to accept that one of the opponents is not defined yet. :-)

Cheers!

I’ll talk to Danilo so we can decide what to do.

Thanks for your feedback guys, keep posting your opinions.

About the links on messages, they should be working if you are accessing the game using www.rubysoccer.com

Let’s see how this server works out, we still have the option to go back to the old one.

Cheers.

the match dates for the post-qualification rounnd are already fixed, right? Why don’t you integrate them already in the schedule (with opponent “not defined yet” till qualif is done)… So the directly qualified team manager could already define the formation for the matches. otherwise it’s just too short between annoucement of CL matches and the matches itself – worst case: default is used.

The game is on development so I think we must accept this kind of situation. We must understand they are making this changes for the best of the game Torres.

Anyway, we also have the option to program the squad for all maches in the season…That would prevent this situation.

Cheers

I know that this is a free game and that you are trying your best Gabriel, but this kind of problems are ruining the fun of the game. I hope that at the end of the season I won’t miss this 6!! points.

Hi Gabriel ,

Sorry for the other post , I did not see this one before…
Same than Tiago for me :

About the new server, I think that it is worse than before. All pages are very slow and I got many errors.
In fact I must try again the same page every 5 mn sometimes more often…
Little thing more : the links in the messages of the mail box are not working anymore and are puting me out of the game
Cheers
Fran

I’m sorry Torres but there is nothing we can really do at this point. You’re probably not the only one who was not able to connecto to rubysoccer, for a certain period it was reachable only using the ip addres, the regular address (www.rubysoccer.com) was unavailable. Reschedule all the matches for those who are in the same situation as yours would be a great time consuming task as we don’t have nothing to do that “automatically”. I hope everybody who had this problem can understand our side.

Cheers.

You don’t see any matches cause you’ve qualified directly for the second round. In the future we’ll display the unplanned matches even when the opponent is unknown.

Cheers!

Hi guys

I don’t know if anyone else have had the same problem, but I want to complain because I haven’t been able to connect to rubysoccer for two days (I guess that it was due to the new server) The problem is that I have played two league games with my “B” squad (and obviously I have lost both).

I’m sure you’ll agree that it isn’t fair and that something must be done.

Cheers

Hi!

I don’t know if you are aware but it is possible to, step by step, increase the maximum wage you can offer for a player… it’s just a matter of trying many times, with different values. Please fix this, so this good new rule may have the desired effect!

=)
