TWO RETURNING PLAYERS WANTED THEIR PLANETS BACK

by Hazed

Over the past few years we have periodically gone through the Fed2 database looking for players who haven’t been in the game for a while, and we’ve removed their planets. This saves time when the game fires up because it reduces the number of star systems it has to load.

Now, by a big coincidence, two old players showed up this week, having been absent for many years – and they wanted their planets back. Fortunately, the files for these purged planets were not removed; all that was taken out was the loader file that told the game to include the planets when it fires up.

Alan just had to rewrite the loaders and the star systems Razor and Ombey reappeared in the firmament.
