Ranking Changes...
- Posted on February 18th, 2007 - 17:42 by Faustus
Player rankings are now calculated in an off-line process every Tuesday at midnight CST. The on-demand rankings were killing the database, leading to lag in-game and slow web-site response times. Hopefully, this change will improve performance for everyone in-game and on the website.



Additionally, when viewing your rankings from your profile, if you select the category link it will display the rankings table with your rank highlighted in red. Making it so much easier to compare your rank against your friends.



NOTE: This does NOT affect your in-game rank or prestige calculations. This change only affects the "website" player to player rankings.

More network maintenance...
- Posted on February 17th, 2007 - 08:33 by Faustus
We will be performing more network maintenance this coming Saturday morning from 9AM CST until 11AM CST. You may not be able to access the website or connect to the game during this period of time as we finish the installation of some new hardware.

Planned Network Maintenance...
- Posted on February 6th, 2007 - 10:40 by Faustus
DarkSpace will be down for network maintenance this coming Monday February 12th from 6PM CST until 8PM CST. We are installing some new hardware in preparation for the upcoming version release.

Recent Performance Issues
- Posted on February 3rd, 2007 - 12:13 by Ninja Gaifen
The recent issues with the game servers and the resulting downtime have apparently been due to ongoing malicious attacks against our server network, intentionally attempting to crash our database and the other game servers.

This has resulted in an abnormally high number of disconnects and server errors, and resulted in a significantly deteriorated game play experience for most of our users.



The major avenues of attack have now been blocked, and the game servers have returned to near-normal operation.



Please understand that although our Game Staff are doing what we can, there is still the possibility of a lower than usual level of performance if such attacks continue.

Due to a server failure DarkSpace is currently down. We are working to resolve the issue and expect the servers to be back online at 10AM CST.
Horrible Bleach Accident Yields New Administrator!
- Posted on January 18th, 2007 - 21:01 by Mithrandir
In the midst of testing a new Bleach additive for their anti-personnel weaponry, the UGTO accidentally spilled a test vat all over Doran, causing his clothes to turn completely white. Following ancient Palestar tradition, this whitening was interpreted as a sign from the Gods that Doran was destined to be a new Administrator.



Consequently, we have welcomed him - or rather, his clone account - as a new addition to the Admin team. Give [Admin]Mersenne Twister @76614 a warm welcome to the exciting world of colorless shirts.
Network maintenance ...
- Posted on October 19th, 2006 - 08:24 by Faustus
The ISP will be performing network maintenance on 10/22/2006 starting at 00:01AM CST until 06:00 CST. DarkSpace will be down during this maintenance period. We apologize for the down time.

Important MV Edits
- Posted on September 26th, 2006 - 15:57 by Mithrandir
As detailed in this forum thread, some important changes have been made to the home systems of each faction. These changes create a safe haven for each faction where they are free from bombs and have a guaranteed spawn and mod point. Check out the thread for more details.

Today be the day for all salty sea dogs! Happy "Talk like a Pirate Day" from Palestar...
Pirate Lord McCormic's Booty Found!
- Posted on September 15th, 2006 - 19:11 by Mithrandir
A group of pirate hunters successfully discovered and destroyed the long-lost stations of Pirate Lord Robin McCormic, claiming for themselves the treasure so long kept hidden within! One station was found by Guyton, who alone received all the rewards within, while the other was found and sunk by three players, Ospolos, Buzzcoxs, and $yTHe. Ospolos was satisfied with the thrill of the hunt, leaving the booty to be split between the other two.



Thanks to all who participated in the contest, and congratulations to the winners! (For the curious, information about the now-finished event can be found in this forum thread.)
