Playerworld Request Problem

[Programmer]

Symphonia has been waiting for Sockets for too long now. This is getting ridiculous. We have been waiting for this for months!

We've provided valid explanations of what the technology is to be used for, and the extent in which it will be used. What do we get? "Oh we'll put it on Stefan's to-do list". Too bad his to-do list is nonexistent. I've seen lazy people but this is ridiculous!

So as I will ask again. Where is our socket functionality?


(The support ticket hasn't been answered in months :/)

I sent in a support ticket and asked Stefan about the same thing, the support ticket was answered by almost everyone but Stefan, and Stefan told me that he would maybe do it and to send him a forum PM but he never replied again. >_>

... ok well how many people are gonna intercept a standard http request from the NPC-Server to your web server? Also, I don't think sockets will have SSL/SSH capabilities so....no difference?

When I asked about sockets, he said something about making it so you had to request sockets for your server as well as placing an ACL on who (IP wise) could connect to the opened socket. I would love them too but they won't open that many extra avenues.

Maybe, but I think the main problem about this case is, that the playerworlds would rather have a quick "no" than waiting and hoping for the systems forever.

We've only got one or two IPs that'll be able to connect to the server, which is my server and the website. We're not using SSL, we're using SHA1 encryption for the data, where a new key is generated every day. Its not too much to ask for >_>

Wow Stefan.
Strike 300, you're out 100 times. GAME OVER

Yeah, Maloria waited for God knows how long to get TSockets, we had to harass globals lol

[Rapidwolve24]

The thing is sockets are available but you need to get a port unblocked for your server.

Let's go harrass Stefan because we all know that harrassment and whining always gets what you want!

Honestly, you sound like my girlfriend's 4 year old sister.

Let's not say anything because we will get all our needs solved that way!

There's plenty of other ways to ask for things without sounding like a whining child.

I'm not whining, I'm simply frustrated because this has been halting my development. I work as a webdesigner and I cannot continue my gameserver<->webserver communication without sockets. :/

As far as I'm concerned waiting months is more than enough reason to start whining.

Not everyone gets special treatment from Stefan like you.
