Finally, last night we turned on the switch to launch our youth community AT.LANT.IS.
Everyone who already registered during the beta keeps their accounts, but all the highscores, buddylists, mails and other statistics have been wiped.
It has been some very stressful weeks, and there a lot of things that still need to be ironed out during the next days and weeks. But the most important thing is that we DID launch. Thanks to everyone in Ettlingen, Erfurt and Munich who had to bear with me!
Stay tuned while I watch my ART reports refresh…
These are my links for August 26th:
After we switched to the maintenance website last Sunday, we just confirmed the launch date:
AT.LANT.IS will open it’s gates again on Friday, August 28, 2009.
Hope to see you there!
Back from my vacation, we are only 24 hours away from the end of the beta phase of AT.LANT.IS.
This sunday, we will close down the website for a few days, to integrate the payment backend and switch to the freemium business model.
I want to thank everybody who registered and played on our platform during the beta – we really appreciate your help.
All beta users will receive a free 3 month premium subscription, starting at the launch day – so if you have not already done so, register now!
I assume this is only interesting for a very limited crowd. Still, it is worth mentioning:
ImageMagick may behave as a complete (meaning 99%) CPU resource hog, if several convert processes are running at the same time, as described by several users in the forums.
What worked for me: disabling IM’s internal threading. Sounds weird, but apparently there are some issues (especially?/only?) on RHEL/CentOS machines.
Build with configure –disable-openmp, and several parallel processes did not stall the CPU any longer.
