Thanks for the files. My Decal is up and running!

You know.. you sound pretty ungrateful toward something that people VOLUNTEER for, for FREE. Servers aren't free. Bandwidth isn't free. We do this as a service to the playerbase and to the game which we've all enjoyed at one point. The least you could do is be grateful toward that, and accept what happens regardless.


We don't have to update Decal. I don't have to take time out of my day EVERY MONTH to provide memlocs. We don't have to pay for servers and bandwidth to host Decal on. But we do. How about a little courtesy when things don't go as planned. Or perhaps you want to donate a couple of thousands of dollars to give us a redundancy system? How does that sound?

Don't pay attention to micro brained losers like you quoted Drak. They are not worth your time.


The problem with statistics is that even when you have 99.9% people thankful that you guys are doing this after all these years.. statistically there is going to be that last .1% that must be, by the laws of physics.. complete aholes.


Oh and btw.. as always.. Thank you.

I agree as well The Decal Devs do a fantastic job every month and like Etchesketch posted, 99.9% of the time there are no problems


Thanks Devs!!!!

KillaCryptic -


If it were not for a few people volunteering their time, effort and skills you would not have Decal or the TPAs that go with it to make your play time more enjoyable.


Something you should keep in mind....


It's an old game. Many of the people who were developing the TPAs have moved on to other games.


Let's not push the few we have left into no longer supporting this game. They can write the programs and keep them to themselves if they wanted to. Nothing but their own willingness to share is why we have them.


So show some appreciation and don't screw it up for the rest of us.

I am appreciated. I was just talking about the monthly content turbine throws is not as much as it used to be. I thank you guys for having a decal after all these years.


I'm used to solo play most of the time, which decal is mostly wanted for by me, but yet after ToD came out decal itself was never updated afterwards past alpha 8 to incorporate the new video rendering upon start.


It's better that what was released still works though. After people left for AC2, over a few months time the game memory stack became corrupted and the game was unplayable, for an extra month they left the game open without fixing it until they had to take the servers down cause no one could stay in game. Only few people went back to AC afterwards which still has a stable engine for content.


My point is this game itself cost a lot monthly so your gonna have to be at least middle to upper class to afford it on a monthly basis and after people came back from AC2 to the original game database shrunk and the Subway market was no more.


If turbine lowered the price when AC2 came out to let people play both games at once or if AC2 never came out at all. I'm sure there would be a lot more people in AC on a daily basis still now. In my recent post I should of stated that I was ranting more on turbines part.


I know the game is getting old but with turbine upgrading hardware recently they should be able to handle tweaking the game client more for some updates to the sky rendering problem for example and bringing weather effects back, and the extreme graphics mode in game didn't really seem to update much.


It should be cheaper these days for hosting depending where you go to. Documentation on decal doesn't come with any sample programs, not all people could program, but the few that did became popular on the server but then no one knew what happened to them a few years later.


There used to be a lot more interested people in the past, most people only look forward to monthly content.. Most of Dereth is bare still in some location they should now revamp all the mid-high level locations so that the game is more balanced with weapons and armor items.


When I kill most monsters as I hunt there is a lot of junk items found for loot. Next they could add us a new set of monsters, an then revamp the land spawns to make the place look less bare. A lot in AC stays the same through the years. Updating even old quests or repairing updated extreme graphic icon files each month these days would be better.. Even though the database is smaller with a few thousand people, paying to play.


I'm just getting ticked so I could fuel you guys to keep on going, despite all the lacking of support since the new games are out.


Remember keep up the good work from the supporters, and also remember it's your gov taking the most of your money from you.

Umm.. hardly ANY of your post has to do with Decal. We DON'T need you "fueling" us. We've got enough fuel on our own thank you, and your "fuel" is counter-productive to our own. We do not appreciate negativity, or being told that we're doing something wrong unless done in a constructive way (which your post was not).


If you have a problem with AC, that's a totally separate issue and unrelated to the current situation of Decal. Also... you should most likely not talk about things you know nothing about (like the current state of Decal). There are only a few people really able to make any comment on the current state of Decal. Most of them are in #ACDev. I don't remember seeing you in #ACDev ever; let alone recently.

i clicked the link and go and download decal which works fine but when i try to click the memlocs or anything else it says page not found

same for me page not found. no decal = no ac for me
