Updates for October
Another rather calm month has now passed bye and we can most likely say that the autumn is just around the corner. There's been some changes in the community and game, so we will have yet another quick news post to sum some things up.
Notice Regarding The Game Server
We had some changes done to the map limits once again, this time it's actually a reduction done to hopefully improve stability for those playing the game. The current limit for users within one map is 160.
Notice Regarding Site/Game Registrations
If you have been active on the forum you might've noticed Razmirz post regarding the site registrations. We will now have registrations open randomly throughout the week instead of open 24/7 to provide more stability and smoother experience for those who are playing, if you wish to read more about it, visit this thread. (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=27243.0) for more information.
Board & Site changes
A while back we got a new very welcomed function here on the site that will most likely save some users from frustration or headaches at times. Users are now able to reset Character position directly from our site without even entering the game. This function will be very useful if you'd have a stuck character inside of a custom map that gives the message "Failed to connect to map server" after several tries, or if your character is currently placed within a fully populated map hard getting into. This will ensure that users always will be able to play on their characters they like the most. To use this function you log into the site login next to the banner, and then click "Reset Character", you will be asked to sign in using your game account again that holds the characters you wish to reset, and from their it's a rather plain forward Reset home, go home option.
After requests, we now have a "Request Meshes" board here on the forum. The mesh section has gotten rather big, and the request mesh threads is completely mixed around with the actual creations threads, due to the amount of users showing interest in meshes in particular we will be splitting up the section for created meshes and mesh threads, and another for already Finished meshes or meshes being worked on. This should make things more organized and easier for users to locate what they are looking for.

Congratulations to those who won the video contest. :3
-
Thanks very much for the big update! To the Video Contest Winners, I'm really happy to say Congratulations to them. With all these different, useful changes to the Forum, it's going to help us all, and I will say that everything changed when I was away.
Thanks, SilverTW
-
Ooh, well if it isn't SilverTW! Welcome back. c:
And I concur, these changes may help keep the game more stable. I can't help but notice an increment in bad tokens and such recently though...
Also, congratulations to all the winners of the video contest. All three were great, and so were the other entries in my opinion. ~
-
Congratulations contestants ^^ And Fanks Red for the update.
-
Thankya for the update, Red! (And all of the FH team, really~) Even with the smaller server limit, I think the Character Reset feature was a great idea. I got my jaguar back. x3
Congratulations to the video contest winners, all of the competitors, and as always, kudos to all of you dedicated Ferals out thur. <3
-
Aww thanks for the update Red! Even with the smaller map limit, I think the ability to reset your characters without entering the game is a great idea! (You have no idea how many times I've had to recreate a character because it was stuck in a map XD) Also, congratulations to all of the video contest winners! You guys created awesome videos and really deserved it. :)
-
Ohh, the reset character is really interesting, pretty cool if you ask me.
-
I just wish KovuLKD would make a game update, and maybe let us all help. FH is puny compared to Impressive Title, which had a world so large it was crazy (and several official maps were user-made!). Could somebody please contact good ol' Kovu about the next game update?
-
Weee! Thanks for the update Red. And congratulations to all winners!
-
Thank you so muchie Red!!! Congratulations to the video contest winners!!! You guys were great! ;3
-
thank you for the epic updates red. And congratulations to the winners, all three of you did so great on the contest.
-
Thanks Red :3 And congrats winners~
-
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
Thanks for yet another update, Redfloof.
-

Log into the golden box next to the banner (picture) at the top of the forum. This will bring up an option for you to reset the homes of your characters

Best way to clean out trolls: open up in-game mod apps, select the best ones, and watch what happens.
-
Thanks for the news Red! You have been right, its been quiet '-'.
-
Thanks for the update Red.
The news is all very uplifting specially the bit about being able to reset characters very useful indeed. Thanks a ton. C:
Congratulations to the winners of the video contest, superb job all of you. x3
-
Thanks for the update, Red. It's always nice to know what has been going on in the Feral Heart World/Community/Game.
Congrats to those who've won the video contest, and to all who have participated in it c:
-
Congratulations to those who won the video contest, and to everyone who entered!
The ability to reset characters will be very helpful in the future.
And thanks Red for yet again, another update!
-
Oh wow, the character reset is a great idea. Now I don't have yo redo my bio everytime I loose my character. :D
And yeah, adding 'Request Meshes' will make the forum more organized. :)
I can't wait to vote on the nest compitition, I missed the voting on the previous one. :-\ But I'll get to it next time.

Thanks for the update! And congrats to the winners!
-
Awesomeness Red. <3 You give the best updates of 'em all! (And not just 'cause your the only one that does them... >.>) FH gets better by the day! :D
-
Very smart idea with the reset character feature!
-
Thanks for the updates Red, congrats to the winners of the video contest! :D
-
I don't want to see rude but I agree it would help stabalize the game but the map limit being lowered kind of restricts people playing with their groups such as in the warrior cat clans in flourite. It is just my opinion and I just wanted to share it. Aagain i wasn't trying to be rude. Thx.
-
Shouldn't the server limit be expanded, not reduced?
Just sayin'...
~Congrats to the winners!

I can see your point, but by doing that means more people can flood into maps, and that means more lag and the server being down more due to the amount of players.
-
Aye, that was the idea. In order to reduce lag, Raz had to reduce the server limit as well.
Things seem to be working fine, don't you think? I think it should stay that way.
-
Congrats to who won the video contest. coolieo news Red ^.^ thank ya for teh update
-
Thank you Red! :)
-
Thanks Red! And congrats to the winners of the video contest!
-
Thanks chu for the updates, Red. c8
-
I appreciate the update truly, and not to offend but however, now that the number of people allowed per map is sanctioned, I am no longer able to rp in any of my favorite maps, or join any more rps. Because there are no longer possibilities for such. Though this might improve stability, it causes increased lag somehow when you decreased it. Rps, as stated before, are going inactive merely because of all the people in flourite and the number of bad tokens. It was never this bad with 300. At least 200 would be a smidge better.
Thank you for the update,
Firewhip123~ c:
-
The limitations on how many people can be on a map at all times kind of sucks, when it fills up then you no longer can join or it lags a lot... maybe another alternative that would be a good idea is to make more servers. Here's a good example here: http://www.wowpedia.org/images/thumb/e/e7/Realm_selection.png/400px-Realm_selection.png (http://www.wowpedia.org/images/thumb/e/e7/Realm_selection.png/400px-Realm_selection.png)
People could make more and join those, the maps would all be the same it would just have less people on the server at a time. You could even have the premade servers close within a certain amount of inactivity. It would reduce lag on people and allow others to roam freely without bad tokens or being kicked. If a server gets to full, then the people who want to can simply change to a new server. I don't know how hard this would be but this is just an idea.
-
I have actually scene such a thing in another game, it truly helps with lag, so I support using multiple servers. It is commonly used in mmorpgs.
-
That's not really an option right now.
There's been quite a few discussion threads regarding this subject in the past and not something that it's just done. Here's one of the old discussion threads regarding this subject.

-
Thanks for the update but the map restriction kinda killed the game for me becuase alot of the maps kinda seem dead now and you cant really have large rp groups with ten or more people. I dont really like the restriction but then again it wasnt my choice :/
-
:O Perhaps, if servers are to expensive as the topic said, we just need to start a donation pool for feralheart on deviant art! That could really help, eh? Do reply.
-
Please read through that thread once again and the staffs replies to it because that's not the reason.
-
Well done to the winners and others who tried! Also nice update Red~
-
Oh thank you so much because I was really worried about logging in my feralheart account in the game.
And congratz to all of the winners!

:(Everytime I open FH and logs in, it comes up a popupmessage: Cant connect to front server.
What shall I do to make it work again?? :C

Server is offline, you'll have to wait it out.
-
How long do I need to wait :c
-
You need to wait until it goes back up, no certain time can be given. Now please try not to post questions regarding the server in the news update thread.
-
Thankies red!
-
Thank you for the update Red. Also, congratulations to those whom placed in the video contest!

For those who don't know, Razmirz won't take server donations, but it isn't his fault or decision. Why, you may ask? Because Kovu apparently has stopped working on FeralHeart. Even though Razmirz is the site & server admin, it's not his choice, it's Kovu's. Also, why can't there be more servers? Making stuff like this isn't free you know, plus not everybody has the time to do all this hard work. Kovu is the only person who can update FeralHeart, it's just the way it works. If Kovu was going to update this game, it would have been updated long ago. You could say FeralHeart needs servers still, but if it's a no, it's a no. It's not Raz's choice or Red's choice, it's Kovu's choice.
-
Actually Silver, you are incorrect.
The reason donations are not accepted is due to a policy with the game engine FH runs on, Ogre. I'm sketchy on the details myself, but I can tell you that the reaaon donations are not accepted has nothing to do with Kovu, or his progress on the game.
