Hi all,

We hope you all enjoyed the Triple XP event!

Next week we're going to be taking a look at all the game servers and see which could be upgraded/replaced to improve the perfomance of the game. As well as this, we're going to be looking at adding an additional caching server to reduce the amount of 'caching failures' seen when the game is busy.

Finally, we are going to be implementing many improvements to the Ultimate Fallen Sword Guide on Monday :)

~ The Fallen Sword Team

Thanks Hoof! This is good news indeed!

I was pulling my hair out during the hunt with all those cache failures ;)

Event was awesome, except for the all the thieves, and PvP protection didn't work that well.

pvp protection works EXACTLY as the description states. You keep less than 10k gold per level and ya can't get hit.


Hoof/Cows. - Great Event. Sure there was a bit of lag/errors. 95% of us hunted through it. Was fun as hell and exciting. Look forward to some other events like this.


I expect we'll see cave beasties now? 4-5 new LE's would drop the overflowing MP quite nicely

The wiki is outwith their control but the official guide was down too so that's something for HCS to look at.

For the rest it seems i was very lucky, lag was just slightly above normal levels and only had a few caching failures. Did notice an increase in caching failures on SS2 too though. Maybe have a look at separating the two more. :idea:

Did have some 0 xp 0 gp fights even when there was no other hunter around :?

It sure was nice but i can't help feeling like i cheated or something :oops:

Great even indeed. Made me level up too. Levelling up sucks. => please no events like this for at least next 3 years.

What does that mean? Either people could attack you while you had PvP protection activated, or they couldn't. What does didn't work "that well" mean?

Just made it intime before the lag and cache got bad last night, so I counted my lucky stars. The event was a breath of fresh air and I managed to gain a number of levels putting me near level 600, so that cheered me up.
Had to chuckle because we went through the levels so quickly that we forgot to hire Mercs for any Elites that we may come accross and yes, you guesed right as there were no Mercs for hire or if there was, they were of poor fighting qualities. We learned a lesson for next time not that it was too much trouble to skip them and come back later to finish off an Elite for a quest anyways.
Overall was nice to take part and thanks for putting the event on :)

Edit: Just like to say it was so wierd to only move 4 spaces and gain a level. "But I haven't moved around the rest of that map yet killing creatures"... so wierd "Chuckles".

I loved the event, didn't get home till midnight and couldn't help myself but to play. Wiki was down and I was at the starting levels to get into xindy so I had to figure out all the quests on my own and I loved it! Thank you HCS for the event and keeping me up long past my bedtime:)

Hey all,

I had a huge problem when FS guide map / quests broke down, was stuck in dark realms and wasted some stam moving about hopelessly and aimlessly, on top of the lag issues, other than that i need to say :-

THANK YOU HCS :D

You did a wonderful job on planning this event.
