I updated WAGE this morning (early afternoon). I’m sorry to those people whose games I killed. I meant to let them finish, but stop new games being hosted.

Firstly, the .owner command is no longer available to normal users. People were creating games for their friends, who did not have Web Africa accounts, giving them ownership and then leaving. This is clearly not a use-case the bot was intended for.

The other change was something that was just bugging me for a while. Previously users just ran the command and checked the games list and hoped, which wasn’t great. Users should now receive a whisper from the bot if their game is being hosted.

As a result of the server upgrade, we came across a bug in the new version of PHP which broke registrations on the forum. We have found a workaround while the bug is addressed. Registrations should now be working.

Thank you for your patience and for those who contacted us via the support email address.

Today I performed an OS upgrade on the server. The server was down for around 2 hours while the upgrade took place. Everything appears to be running smoothly. Other than the network outage on Friday night, this was the first time the server has been offline in over a year – and hopefully these new upgrades keep things running smoothly for many more.

Happy gaming!
