Recent events in your realm...

ID #98...

I have not deleted any of my notices since 1-24-12; that was the last day, I was keeping all notices so I could maintain a record of how much Gold I got & how many days I had been getting it. For the last couple of days all messages have been disappearing with the exception of the amount of Gold I got for that particular day & the previous day... (example below).

[29 Jan] 06:07 You logged in 19 days in a row (+10 Gold)
[28 Jan] 18:12 A Broker has been sent to you
[28 Jan] 05:33 You logged in 18 days in a row (+10 Gold)

I should have 20 or more notices (4 days of Gold notices {starting on the 25th} + several alliance messages + several personal messages + several broker messages)...

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bug or not, just thought you might want to know about it...

recent events are called that because only recent ones are kept.
once per day at midnight, all events older than 24 hours get autodeleted

i.e. you get hit on monday 00:01, tuesday 0:00 event wasn't 24 hours old, wednesday 0:00 it will get deleted

is this something new?
before I reported this events would stay until I deleted them. I sometimes had a weeks worth of notices & would have a scrollbar to the right of the list. just curious is all...

Would have to be new, I have had 4 or 5 days worth fairly regular.

That simply means that you had a lot of new notices each day.

what has that got to do with the discussion?

Previously you kept notices for very long periods of time, and that time has been shortened without telling anyone so Kong asked and got an after-the-fact answer. Getting multiple realm alerts a day or getting few everyday but every day will lead to getting the scrollbar. You comment was useless and unneeded and wrong just TBH.

I don't think anything changed. I don't think notices ever stayed for longer than 48 hours.

Since it hasn't changed, but he always had a lot of notices, it means that he must have been getting a lot each day, so that he didnt notice that old ones were deleted.

That's what it means.

@kenzu- maybe you are forgetting that each notice comes dated; that "IS" how I "KNOW" how long I was holding onto my notices for... perhaps it was a bug of some sort or whatever I really do not care,,, but for you to attempt to say that I did not notice that the "older ones were deleted" just pisses me off! If I "HAD NOT NOTICED" then I "WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS POST"... for the record "I DO" get a lot of messages throughout the day; I mark the date of the oldest, then I mark the date of the newest, then I count them. exactly how stupid do you think I am?

If this is how I can expect to be treated when I post about a "bug" then I shall post no more!

Maybe The Game Admin will clarify since the Forum Admin has decided to answer a question he does not 100% know the answer to. Why you feel the need to answer something you are not sure of and is beyond me. The question was asked and a knowlegeable answer was given. If you are not positive of your response why make it?

One doesn't have to be stupid to not notice something. And I wouldn't ask this, if it didn't happen a million times before with other users. Namely they report something is wrong, where actually it was always like this and they simply didn't remember it well or didn't notice something.

And I am very sure it didn't change.

Since you obviously failed to "READ" my post before making "THIS" post. I hi-lighted the important parts in red, are you calling me a liar as well as stupid? you know what...never mind; I do not care, I am done with this convo...

by Kenzu on Thu Feb 02, 2012 8:08 pm

I read what you wrote already before and I don't see why you think that I didn't read it. However according to what you said, it looks like you didn't read what I wrote. So let me highlight it in red as well

And now that you accuse me of calling you a liar and being stupid I would really love to see where exactly did I call you that.

Keep in mind that I said, and let me rephrase now, being stupid is not a requirement not to notice something. In other words, a person can be clever and still it can happen that he will not notice something.

I really don't understand the way you think. You get offended in a regular conversation and feel accused of something that has not even been said at all.

Ok, so I'll repeat it once more (well repeat is relative but I didn't mention anything about having made any changes, so this assumes it's always been like that)

Recent notices have always gotten deleted after 48 hours.

by Nomad on Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:01 am

Then there has been a bug in place for months that suffently got "fixed" without you fixing it.

Well I can only reply the following:

I checked my code backups from
2009 January
2009 November
2010 October

In all of these that one single line which clears the notices, is set to delete once a day everything older than 24 hours.
The only explanation I can maybe offer is that it would not apply to those days where the server happened to have gone out during midnight causing the script not to run
