Here's my MSN conversation with Shane ( owner of Pokemon Vortex )
VeNoM says:
*can you update the news on vortex so we know whats going on?
Shane says:
*perhaps
VeNoM says:
*well if you do thanks
Shane says:
*now check the news
So i go check D:
July 14th, 2009:
I'm really sick of these transfers taking so long as they create even more glitches and problems, stacked up on the ones I have already on my agenda to fix. This is my solution: while I wait possibly a month for the money for a server to withstand the traffic, I am going to work on v2 of the site. No one will be able to get on until then. This will be the LAST delay. I am more sick of it than you are, trust me, and I hope you understand, just don't give up on us. Additionally, we have more than half what we need to make a server payment, so this is a legitimate estimate.
VeNoM says:
*thanks
Shane says:
*np
*please try to understand
*to go forward we must go backwards
*by putting ithe site to public, we will not be able to go forward with the game
*at the current time
VeNoM says:
*the slow server you guys bought was what screwed us over wasn't it ? i just hope vortex does get released though.
Shane says:
*the only person it really screwed over was me
*the server it is on now creates internal server errors every other page
*it makes errors in the game because it messes up our ajax on the battle map pages
VeNoM says:
*oh this sucks.. one last question , what happens if you pay the first payment for the new server and you don't get enough for the 2nd payment?
Shane says:
*The "payment" I'm referring to is 4 months + worth of payments
*possibly more, because i don't want to go into debt over this or anything
*but by that point, both of my ad systems should be making enough money to hold itself up
*donation rewards will be implemented for v2 as well
VeNoM says:
*looks like you have everything planned out
In other words its a months wait until it gets released to the public.
