ignacio Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hello people. Well, I think that the title and the poll Explain pretty well the reason of this topic... I was promised a looong, long time ago, To see again the rs sim, but unfortunatly, Tdn staff havn't worked on it... I understand'em but I really loved the simulator (Me and lots of people). Maybe if TDN see how many users are willing to play again at that great place, They may start reconstructing it =)!!!! So people, would you like to See the sim working again? Lets beg TDN staff to re open it!!!!!!! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignacio Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Still up... http://www.thedailyneopets.com/articles/restock-practice/ This is the link... This is what you meant right? no is not, in fact, the one i'm talking is "Restock simulator V2" it was directed by grant, and its page was at Grantuy.com You could restock EXACTLY like in neopets, with other players, and restock time (that were shorter) Also, there was a "Practice" section, Like the link you showed me, with noone else but you, appart from the main restock place, and also a trophie section, with achievments...

Noog Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 To be honest, I don't think that's something for us to decide. Grant left staff, but I guess I could try to contact him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The reason why Grant had to take it down to start with is because his code was not well optimized and it kept crashing his site. When he tried to install it on TDN domain, it also crashed the site within hours. As Noog said, Grant retired from staff at the end of the summer. We would need to contact him to see if anything can be done. We understand that it was a feature largely liked by the Neopets Community. For that reason, we will do our best to get in touch with Grant and see what can possibly be done. Meanwhile, thank you for your patience.

Grant~ Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hello, Ignacio! Long time no see; I still remember you from the sim. Noog just contacted me and directed my attention to this thread. I would sincerely love to reopen the restocking simulator, but I'm afraid that might not be possible. It initially took me about a month to code and to add all the items to the database, and I unfortunately don't have that kind of time during the school year. Also, as V mentioned above, it's simply too taxing on a server to run it with the way I have it coded. Unless I completely overhaul the system and somehow figure out some way to optimize the coding, it will inevitably crash. Even then, the sheer size of the database of items is ridiculous; if I remember correctly I had like 2000 items and was still adding. Although it's still remotely possible for me to one day (though unlikely) to think of a better way to code it, I am not seeing that in the immediate future. Even if I did reopen it, though, there would be no one to really manage it and add new content, especially all the new items TNT has probably released in the last year or so. Do know, however, that if I somehow do fix it, I will make sure to let everyone know. Thank you (and everyone else who has neomailed me over the past year) for remembering the sim; it means a lot to me. Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... Too bad... I couldn't imagine that it was that much work... well, Even tough that, it was a pleasure to play, you did a great job with that... I wish some day it comes back frome death... And maybe in summer you have time :P I was also thinking, that maybe, as you did with one shop, we could add the items and at the end you accepted/rejected them... but users should properly help, and thats pretty hard... Ok, sorry for bothering, And thanks for coming and taking time to reply. I apreciate that ^^! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
