FSP main VoIP
Posted by: Goldi in Website Announcements on February 28, 2019, 11:43:43
After a lot of consideration, the Admin Team has reached a decision regarding FSP main VoIP.

This decision was made by the Admin Team instead of a form of public decision for different reasons.
  • A public poll in any shape or size could be affected by inactive users, giving us an unrealistic picture of what's preferred on FSP.
  • The idea of commanders picking the platform that he/she wish to command on isn't necessarily bad. However, we don't think it would help the community to run 2 platforms as a public service, because of the clear split it adds. It therefore fell short on votes among the Admins.
It therefore came down to either Discord or TeamSpeak only as main VoIP.

After the meeting Saturday night, we believe both platforms would be welcomed as a main VoIP. We are aware that some might feel excluded by the decision no matter what it would be, so we picked the one that we believe would give us the best chance of success as a unified community, working with present and future links.

Discord vs TS?
It's hard to compare the 2 platforms, because of the major differentness.
In order to reach a conclusion, we had to look at the platforms individually and see what they each would bring to the table if we picked them.
Based on that, Discord had by far the most advances for the community.
The option of keeping Discord as forum only and use TS as VoIP was discussed, but it would again mean using 2 different platforms for text and voice communication.

Result:
Platforms:
  • FSP Discord - main VoIP.
  • FSP TS will be removed.
Events:
  • Any events organized by guilds can be hosted on whatever platform they wish to use except FSPG TS.
  • Commanders should be encouraged to use Discord for open tags.
We want to stress that this is not set in stone and could be altered as we go along if needed.

The changes will be added within the next few days.


Teamspeak Server Transfer
Posted by: I Am Dansker in Website Announcements on April 08, 2017, 21:24:07
The Teamspeak server is going to be transferred to a new location sometime between now and tomorrow.
This means that the server will most likely be down for a short amount of time while the licence get transferred.

I will make an update on this topic once the transfer is due and again when it has happened
If you have any issues as a result of this transfer, feel free to inform us about it in this thread.


TS Clean-Up (23.9) & Maintenance (24-25.9)
Posted by: Turtle in Website Announcements on September 17, 2016, 13:44:26
Hello FSP & linked World reader!

We've to announce 2 points which are important to everyone:

TS-Clean up:
First of all we're planing to clean up the Teamspeak, especially the channels. We want to bring more structure and clear overwiew in teamspeak while to erase dead channel. We already made the list of channels which are inactive since older 7 or more days, so we can monitor which channels become suddenly active before we delete the channels.

The clean-up will start in the evening at friday before the reset starts -> 23.9.2016!

Emergency Maintenance:
Due the massive lag increase in the past days, the admin (Alwies and me) are planing to do a emergency maintenance and try to rebuild the TS-server. We're still monitoring why we've such massive laggs, especially when the hardware power (CPU, ram, ...) got increased on friday and it became more laggy in the unlogical way.
For the time during the maintenance, the FSP server is NOT usable and please use the KALE-Ts (from Nora) meanwhile! She is informed and you are allowed to use the Teamspeak of KALE!

TS-adress: ts.kalevala.net

The Maintenance begins at sunday, 18.9.2016!! maybe the monday included.



MORE DETAILS: >> https://farshiverpeaks.com/index.php?topic=2349.msg17318 <<


EDIT-18.09.2016: The maintenance will be postponed to next weekend, 24-25.9.2016. There are new setting which we want to test out for next friday since the friday is mostly the only day that creates heavy lagg issues. Your help is welcome too! If you track some high packet loss or lag issue, then note the date & time when it happened and send the information to us (Alwies , Turtle).

We removed all avatars and disabled the re-upload for functional increasing of fsp server.




Best regards,

Admin team


Linked User's Integration & Verification System Update
Posted by: I Am Dansker in Website Announcements on August 31, 2016, 18:30:59
Linked user's can now verify themselves using the GW2 API

In addition, the verification system has been overhauled and now support user's verifying themselves without creating a forum account (however not recommended due to key management being harder that way)

The UI has also been updated using Material Design Lite too, hopefully will make it easier for players to figure out how it works

You can go to https://farshiverpeaks.com/index.php?page=gw2integration to see what your current't linking status is and check it out for yourself




Kinks still needed to be worked out, but was decided wasn't important enough to delay any longer
  • Going from a Teamspeak only link to a Teamspeak / Forum link is problematic
If you find any other issues, feel free to report them to me

Violation of the rules shall be judged on an individual basis, though in general there will be a 3 strikes and out policy.
