Why ro server dont exist anymore ?

Well, the servers have merged into one, but other than that, I was able to log into the RO community, so I believe it still exists?

I don't think there's been an announcement about it either.

Isnt so good to make only 1 server for all languages . e.e

If you are saying that it's not good to have one server for all languages: Think of the communities as "new servers". And you could think of the server merged as in you can connect to your friends and tribemates that are not in the RO community/"server".

Otherwise I have not a clue what you are trying to say, sorry.

I noticed earlier today, while logging in on NL, that instead of logging in to NL I get logged in to EN, but with NL translations as well as a "Netherlands" chat tab. Double checking this I logged in to DE, which also logged me in to EN, with DE translations, but also with the "Netherlands" chat tab (so I guess that's determined by IP address since my OS is in English).

I'm wondering since when this has been the case and whether NL/DE rooms ceased to exist entirely (or if this only applies when very few people are online on NL/DE). Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

^ Noticed the same for Finland. Finland doesn't have it's own community, but we got a new chat tab that'll open automatically when logged in. However it's full of people I don't want to talk with, so I'll have to close it every time. Nice function for some though, I guess.

Perhaps it's this?

Same for HU.

Saw a few players complaining there

Well they should complain. Having a chat tab and some translations while in an English room is something else entirely from having rooms in which you get to speak your native language. Although my English is fine, this may not be the case for other players.

I assume this is done simply to keep rooms populated, but honestly at least an announcement + explanation would've been decent to say the least.

I wonder if they did this for communities with lack or low number of mods + what lemo said, with low online numbers of players. Hmm...

I would hope the lack of mods plays no role here... they never even wrote out applications for NL since the last NL moderators left.

My guess is it's the playercount. Atelier801 has been systematically dividing their playerbase into smaller and smaller niches and probably finally realised that this was not beneficial for their total playercount. Few people enjoy playing in poorly populated rooms.

Examples of measures that had a scattering effect:
- opening special rooms like bootcamp
- adding more and more smaller communities (now undone apparently)
- adding modules (tons of fun, but really
- creating entirely new games (bouboum, forteresse)

That's actually funny, considering it's literally like that for the HU community. It still has a half-done translation full with errors for over a year and a half now.

On the rest, yeah would be lovely if they could explain this.

Yeah... NL translations were complete at some point. But then new features get added without proper translation work done in advance. Shame really, but I guess it's better than nothing.

HU translations were never complete at all to begin with. It was rushed, because they needed it for some reason. We thought they just needed a temporary translation and boy were we wrong.

I asked about what happened. Apparently Tig tried to make an update that would unite players with no dedicated community through a chat together, however it apparently bugged six communities. I'm not sure which communities were affected, but they weren't meant to be inaccessable.

Good to know it's a bug. Because of the chat tab it looks quite like a deliberate action rather than an accident. The affected communities:

NL, DE, RO, HU, PL and VK.

Sydoline a dit :

This is due to an update that has been done yesterday on Bouboum. We had no idea it would impact Transformice as well.

The idea was to reunite people who try to login in an empty community and create a chat related to their countries so they could still speak together. That way we would avoid players being alone in a room wondering what to do.

We're going to reboot the game to optimize it for Transformice.

After this update, the server will check every 10 minutes if their are at least 20 mice from these "empty" communities. And if so, it'll merge them all back to their original communities.

Are you sure tig wasnt trolling the Ro players

Good to hear both a solution and some specific numbers as to how things are supposed to work from now on o/

Sydoline a dit :

100% sure

• [SERVER] Serverul se va restarta în 30 secunde. sorry for the romanian words.

• [SERVER] The server will restart in 2 minutes.

Fixing the problem already, nice
