Overusing our search engine with a very large number of searches in a very short amount of time.Using a badly configured (or badly written) browser add-on for blocking content.Running a "scraper" or "downloader" program that either does not identify itself or uses fake headers to elude detection.Using a script or add-on that scans GameFAQs for box and screen images (such as an emulator front-end), while overloading our search engine.There is no official GameFAQs app, and we do not support nor have any contact with the makers of these unofficial apps. Continued use of these apps may cause your IP to be blocked indefinitely. This triggers our anti-spambot measures, which are designed to stop automated systems from flooding the site with traffic. Some unofficial phone apps appear to be using GameFAQs as a back-end, but they do not behave like a real web browser does.Using GameFAQs regularly with these browsers can cause temporary and even permanent IP blocks due to these additional requests. If you are using Maxthon or Brave as a browser, or have installed the Ghostery add-on, you should know that these programs send extra traffic to our servers for every page on the site that you browse.The most common causes of this issue are: They underestimated the resourcefulness of their player base.Your IP address has been temporarily blocked due to a large number of HTTP requests. This was a direct result of SOE's short-sightedness. These were all items that for some reason or another were never capped before the game went live as they should have. Or they could make buffs that would more than DOUBLE our stats. Or that they could make MIND poison that would kill everyone within a 30 yard radius in three ticks. This gave us rise to the GCW and the massive PvP that ensued.īut over the next couple of months, people realized they could make armor that would resist 90%+ all damage. It gave guild's a sense of pride and ownership. Player cities actually came to define this game early on. A LOT of people did not go to work or school that day hehe. A lot of us had our would-be mayors logged out right by where the politician trainer would be located when the server came up. Many had architects lined up to make city halls. Many of us were on the old Gorath Imperial IRC server talking about grand plans, wishing each other luck on getting our spots. The day the player city and vehicle publish was to go live was very intense. This was a very exciting time, and arguably the pinnacle of this game's existence. Two years ago this month SOE introduced vehicles and player cities to SWG. This was taken from the SoE SWG forums, and has now beed deleted by SoE off thier forums.įor any of you that were around since this game's launch, thing back to November 2003. I just noticed your message Here is a copy of her final post.
She also talks about the CU that they had planned as the first CU, but that was scrapped and they gave us what we new as the first CU. It's long and I'll have to cu and paste it all in here, but it explains alot. I was on the forums bitching about how lame the Legacy quests are when I checked my PMs and I remebered that I got someone to PM me her whole last post.
