VO 1.8.704 includes:- Fixed Lua errors for new Event Advertisements in the Nav Map.- Added accumulated "player damaged NPC" event, for Persistent Missions, tracked per-player.- More analytics to track down a rare but persistent sector bug.- Added more server alarms and monitoring to better handle certain uncommon conditions.- Fixed bug with display of pre-scheduled events on the Nav Map, discovered last week.We also endured a lengthy fiber-cut outage this past week, at one of our datacenters. This disabled our website and some other services, but the game itself remained online and intact for most players. We were able to execute an emergency migration of our own to minimize our public-facing outage exposure; but some 400 meters of fiber had to be dug up from beneath concrete buildings for almost 32 hours. More details were posted to the General Forum Thread:https://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/1/38954That's all for now. We have a lot of cool work in development; fingers crossed that we won't have any more weird "acts of god" to delay us. Have a great weekend, everyone!
