Good idea, Raz. If I may ask, Is there a specific time that registrations are open? Or is it random?
Registrations will now be opened and closed at random for you
This may be part the cause that why only 3 people are on, and the server isn't working. XPI believe there are only three people on at this moment now because it's probably staff testing out the game to see if they patched things up with the server before letting the whole lot of users on again. The server has been acting up so they probably want to avoid the chaos of letting us on again when things might not be fixed up yet.
no, not more maps, just adding on to the current ones.If you mean by increasing the size of current maps it still will have pretty much the same effect as adding more maps and as AppleBloom stated it would just add to what the server already has to handle. Increasing map size would also mean that some users who download the game will have more lag. Sure more people would be able to get on but that still means alot of floof on one small server.
Idon't see my post I put up in this topic. I said this is a good chose, but I just have a question. Please do not think me stupid for asking, but when the game is back up for all allowed on again, will users that have been here for over years have a certain amount of time to play each day or are the ones that newly register going to have to wait a few days before able to get on?Your question is not stupid at all Felicia it's only a bit too ahead of what's going on right now. Razmirz is just placing a small lock down period for new registrations into Feral Heart in order to test out how things with the server will cope now in terms of the sudden over growth of new Feral Heart users. All these new comers along with the old ones in game are really stuffing up the server and pushing it to work harder without a doubt. No one knows for sure yet if they have any other future plans like what you're wondering about. I'm sure this action Razmirz took is to avoid what you're asking about... but who knows what the future holds for Feral Heart. The staff might decide if things get chaotic to do that. It's all up to the staff but as of now we shouldn't jump to ahead of our selves.
This is actually a test due to an upgrade the server had this morning the new limit may not stay but on the upside bad tokens seem to have been reduced drasticlyJust recently the persons per map limit was lifted from 200 to 300 and Raz stated it was going to be a test to see just how the server can cope with it. The 300 limit was never official I guess and they probably decided to lower the limit now to 160 to test the server a bit again and see exactly when the problems start. I'm sure they will slowly start to bump it up again once they figure out the "OK" number. It's been probably only about a month since they bumped up the limit last to 300 and since alot of people have been able to get in but this constant server problem seems to be following since the bump too.
Wait, wait, what? I'm not so sure I like the sound of this...
That would be a good idea, but there are already too many members it wouldnt really help.Wait, wait, what? I'm not so sure I like the sound of this...I would think a better way to sign up would be by invites only or something, personally.
since I believe no one can access the forum to read this or any post for that matter unless they have an account.
This thread doesnt seem to be very local, I tried checking it in the board and I didnt see it, you have to be linked here to look at it. Or maybe its just me.Yeah guess I'm not the only one quite a few other people that I RP with tell me the same thing. I respect what you said Red and know we shouldn't keep this conversation up here so forgive me for doing so with this final post but maybe you guys should look into this because I'm curious about this now because I know it's no problem with my browser either. I usually have no complaints about the forum or the game but when i do finally it's always for a legit reason. But anyway thank you for the straight forward answer. I promise not to add on anymore to this subject.
Great idea! I was wondering why it said registrations closed. xD

I just noticed that O.O
I've been registered for a while, But have been able to get onto the server all day, is this normal?No one has been able to get on the site or game today. The forum has just come up again it seems in the last hour maybe but now the server is still being worked on so that we can get in the game as well. Refer to the link:

Oh... but how many hours will you be aloud on?
Server seems to work well now.
Is this why i cant log in on the game??? :o
IT'S A HORRIBLE CHOICE!!! Don't close/re open it. LEAVE IT OPEN!!! Maybe you should just not let some people on the game because SOME people are on almost what feels like 24/7 every time I log on they are there.

I have to tend to Agree with those that say they dont like the idea, Sure its a quick fix to the lag, but why not open a donations page and upgrade the servers to Handel more people. I would gladly pay a few bucks to help upgrade the servers so Everyone can enjoy Feral Hearts. it doesn't even have to be a permanent Donations page, set a mark or goal of the money you need to upgrade the servers to sustain a certain amount people at once, the once that goal is reached you can close the donations. Repeat if needed.
No rewards need to be given imo though with Feral Hearts Rewards for donations dont really effect game play.

This is actually a really smart idea, I think the admins should consider this.

It has been discussed many times that FH will never take donations.

So instead they deny people to right to play till they open up Registrations? i dont really find it fair to the incoming players, or the pre existing players that have friends that want to play.

;A; I dunnoffff. I agree that it's making the servers derp less, but I also have to agree; it's not really fair.. 'A'
FeralHeart isn't Allowing new players???
>:UUUUU
I have seen a few more people now that also share my opinion about this idea. Every time I log on to Feral Heart it says the "no registration" thing. I just don't see how this will help, and no one answered my question. Does creating accounts, coming onto FH for one day then never using the account again cause lag? Does creating accounts in general cause lag? If not then I don't see how this will help lag. And even so, I don't think we should stop members from coming just for the sake of the servers..I mean, I only really get lag in Flourite, or in maps with a lot of objects and people in it. If you have a bad computer than that would be the source of the lag. This just doesn't make sense.

The main reason this is being done is to help the servers as said several times.Who cares? I do not believe that it is the only way to fix servers. There wasn't any updates for client for 9 months, and it is still full of bugs. Why should I think server software is better? The only thing I hear: "Do not ask anything, ur god Kov is writing The Code for you. Just wait". I don't believe in this anymore. I want to know why server is too slow, is that a hardware or software problem, and what else can be done. And I want to know how much code has been written so far. Maybe there is a reason to keep everything in secret, but I don't see any.

So nice to see such positive feedback from you floofs.
One side note for the user who asked about a game update (too lazy to scroll up and quote it); if you can get in contact with Kov, you let us know. xD
A topic I keep seeing cropping up... while Its notice to see you all want to help I'm going to have to ask that you all stop discussing the generation of money for the servers/staff for a number of reasons which I won't be stating here. Anyone who's going out of there way to make some extra money I ask you to stop immediately if anyone has any specific problems or questions you can contact me directly by pm. Any further threads/posts regarding the topic will be removed by staff.

Why not just take donation polls and see if you can raise enough money for a server upgrade?
perhaps if you could raise enough money ( x>$7000 e.i. ) you could buy a server and host Feral Heart; although hosting your own at home is not the greatest idea due to redundancy purposes and bandwidth allocation, let alone potential environmental issues (power outages i.e.)
Heh, My friend keeps saying they're never open and he can't make an account. So I don't completely agree to this change. ;/
We'd gladly want to see new maps in the game and it should really have more locations for the players to go to, but currently there's some things hindering that leaving us with what we have.
And making a map itself is not really the problem, it's getting them inside of the official game that is.
Yea she's got a point. If you had a donation center and you raised enough money, you could use it to get better servers and inprove feralheart. You could get new designes for charictars, more maps, better servers, and even more space for more players! Just a suggestion. ;)
I say do a sweep and get rid of inactive players and maps that have not been used in years. That might clear things up. Also, if people are willing to donate the money to get a new, bigger, faster, server I wouldn't back down from starting a donation box or somthing. Please, do something!!!! I want to be able to log on to the game when ever I feel stressed and decompress with my friends.
As stated prior, money is not the issue. The game is pending an update from it's programmer and until we see the update there is little to be done.
I say it again, money is not the issue.

....I think this is the reason why I can seem to log into the game now :-\ even though my connection is perfectly fine.. its been happening for over a day now :(No, this isn't why you cannot log in. The server is currently down for everyone but it has nothing to do with this thread as it's rather old.
I actually feel that this is more of a restriction of members because from what I understand is that for example, and I don't mean this rudely, that while you playing the game with a friend, an that's probobly the only time that day you can get on on the certain day. And all of a sudden you just get logged out of the game and can't get back on. I'd find that to be inconvenient for I know people will end up not liking this and make multiple accounts, if my idea is correct. If I'm wrong please correct.

It isn't a restriction on playing times in game, it's only a restriction on signing up as a new member.
They need to change the text color for character reset.....I can't see it without highlighting.Not sure why you're not able to see the reset option unless you highlight it but maybe you're having that weird problem that sometimes happens to the forum that makes the modules' normal colors change like so:
That isn't the problem I'm having. It's black text against a black background. I've tried Internet Explorer, and there's no change.They need to change the text color for character reset.....I can't see it without highlighting.Not sure why you're not able to see the reset option unless you highlight it but maybe you're having that weird problem that sometimes happens to the forum that makes the modules' normal colors change like so:

If that's the case try changing your browser. You can also turn off compatibility mode if you're using Internet Explorer. Either way the forum color change problem usually sorts itself out after a little while. However if you need further assistance try posting here for help:

Hope that helps.
As I said try posting your problem in the help thread of the forum in the link I provided above since this isn't really the place for us to continue this. Maybe someone else will know another solution to the problem you're having and give you further advice there. You can also try clearing your cache. I wouldn't recommend Internet Explorer so try experimenting with different browsers as well as updating your system and adobe etc. Goodluck with it I really do hope you get that sorted soon so you can have a more pleasant time using the forum.That isn't the problem I'm having.

But every time i look at registrations, they are closed. I live in the US and Im not sure when I can Register, any comment back please?
As mentioned several times in this thread alone, the times are at completely random and all you can do is keep on checking back whenever you can. If an open time is missed, you can just try to catch the next one really.Unfortunately it's all random Elena and you'll just have to wait like everyone else. I'm very sorry but may I ask why you want to register again? You apparently are already registered because you are writing here. If you do not really need the extra account try not to make it because all these extra accounts are saved on to the server and that is partly the reason why things are so stuffed up here.
Does anyone if it has been open/how many times it's been open since this news post?
Registration is open quite often, actually. It's at random times, so the staff doesn't choose when it's open and when it's not. Hence, no reason for timezones to clash because it doesn't open according to any timezones. I believe having it closed most of the time is working well so far, and we aren't going to be changing it any time soon.

What I don't get is why only one person runs the server. I think it would be more stable if more than one person ran the server. Like if the server was ran on more than one computer I think it would be a lot more stable. This is just my opinion.
My friend finally managed to catch it when the registration was open, and her activation code was broken. :I When she tried clicking it again later today, it wouldn't even give her access to the site. Gah.Yea that happen to my friend too wish it would let her join :-\
Well thats just down right unfair.My friend finally managed to catch it when the registration was open, and her activation code was broken. :I When she tried clicking it again later today, it wouldn't even give her access to the site.

omaigawd I FINALLY got in!! Yay! :D It took me two weeks to get on at just the right time. Totally understand, though. And I look forward to be another regular of FeralHeart! ^^xD Congrats, you've made it into the game. If you ever need a helping hand/paw, you can ask me or post in the Help threads. ;w;
Have you guys thought of upgrading the servers? Maybe add a donation button so you can pay for the server by donations? I mean more members are always good. There shouldn't be a need to cut that number down. Just means FH is getting more popular.As said before:

Well I wasn't trying to make money or anything. Just don't like seeing 'restricted' anything as it will stop FH from growing in away. I'd actually like to see this place grow and prosper. The many crashes has made me stop in the past and I know servers are expensive. I'm not trying to say FH should get money or anything and I know its up to the owner to do what they want with FH. I don't pop on the forums much (obviously) so I didn't know that was such a touchy subject.
cool, but my friend want to register and its all days,all night closed :/
well instead of this idea why dont you guys make servers. everything well be the same. just why not that idea cuz if one server has amunt of people theres another server. you guys should at least have 3 servers so people wont complain. that way it still runs smooth. then making the new members feel like its not fair?

It's impossible. The only way to do that is to contact Kovu and get him to add the servers thing, but he's been MIA for a while now. Also, more servers costs more money.

That's not at all correct. What Suragaha said is true for the most part-- server stuff is left up to Raz and we can only do so much for the game without Kov.
Please make sure that what you post is true before you post it, Silver. This is how rumors and false ideas get spread around.
