The anti-fire system in datacenters is designed in 2 main categories: 1) Alarming and fire-stop system 2) Non oxygen rooms - server rooms. Most likely the non oxygen rooms where not the root cause of the fire, yet the room it self wont last against a huge fire running wild outside. The alarming and fire-stop systems are designed to stop small fires and call in the fire brigade. How ever if its a data center - I would assume the fire-stop system is not water base and is chemical base ( that is efficient yet much more limited ). lets assume the fire started in an elevator system or another not well protected part of the building ( or some gangs from other datacenters decided to get rid of some competition, got in mind google sitting in his office with a cat on his lap ) Been to a private datacenter - cant say its 100% secure, you always can end up with unexpected stuff. Hope this helps

Some positive news

Hello all, Been playing on retail since 4.0 to 4.8 inclusive. So one good point made by @Bladegunner is that it take more time to get to officer rank. Its a fact. Lets do some numbers. EOBx2 - maximum 100 GP per day. Lets go 60 medium ( 50/50 win chance ). EOB - 100 GP per day Kamar - maximum 100. Lets leave it medium at 60 Siege - maximum 900. Lets go 300 medium per siege day. How ever with smart tactics and low gear this can get increased. Arenas - lets leave it at 60 average. So roughly in 1 week you can get just from daily few hours activity 580 GP. If my math is good 580 GP a day will get you 4000 GP a week. There is IS that gives weekly points. There is IWW that gives points. So getting officer rank 2 should not be that far away. I decently accept there is a factor of bad luck or no premade for instances. Yet if you are getting a lot of losses in Kamar, EOB, Arenas with BM Gear - might be time to improve personal skill to kill your direct counter class ( class you counter ). Again not saying anyone is bad, just motivating to keep a open mindset to get better at things we do! Last week managing to make around 200-300 points a day - still going up the ranks and getting closer to Officer 2 star. When it comes to 5 star officer - sorry I strongly believe the only way to get there is to be more active then the people in front of you. Is it possible? Yeah. Sure it takes 6-8 months, yet that's how everyone gets there. Being xForm should be a privilege and additional status when it comes to guilds and numbers. Thus politics and stuff can happen. GoT got nothing on this! Some ideas about the current patch and how I believe it was designed to be played: This is just my understanding of the game process - nothing more When reaching level 65, first and main activity of the game remains on PvE. Get some mythical Sauro weapons and farm BM/AC gears. This would take a few weeks. After that comes the GP activity and GP accumulation should increase on siege and worth starting doing Kamar, EOB and IWW. ( Would assume no one will take not a geared player or there will be little time after all the PvE activity going on in the first weeks ) After getting GP for officer 2 star and starting to gear up - comes the end game. Mostly focused to get 5 star and more. From this point of view - I would ask myself how much time I want to play. Cant have all the best PvP gear without investing time and effort into GP farming. Skip next to topic if you don't want to read my thoughts on the topics. *Experience from getting general rank or retail: Hard to get there, very tempting. Was it worth it? emm... meh... Not gonna do it again on porpoise! So the players who play most on the server should have the option to get closer to top 10-30 ranks. As they would have more influence over the community. I would not prefer commanders that play on the server for 2 months - that might be a bad experience as well. *Lets look to our neighbors: So I understand the author of the post proposes changes to the ranking system on the server. I was scrolling thru the post ( didn't read that much documentation since never ) and did not see a new system proposal with details, risk assumptions, benefits and downsides. WoW - the king of MMORPG, has some great features that Aion might wanna get implemented by NCSoft in 9.0+ patches. Strongly believe this can revive Aion again. WoW also has a interesting GP like system - its less focused on the amount you play in the long term, yet the amount you play in the short term ( weeks, not months or more like in Aion ). There are interesting review videos about this system - will not describe how it works, will just make a short summary: You HAVE to play 11 hours a day for a period of 5-6 weeks to get close to 'governor' rank. Was reviewing also some Valve made games - not really makes sense to introduce changes to adjust to that system. Short summary: Please if you have some plan, ideas on how to change the current GP system - what should be added, removed. What happens to Old players, New ones - make a nice looking, readable plan. Would love to review it I believe the current system is working as normal, the changes Team EuroAion made - are good and should help new players to replace players who are less or in-active. @Bladegunner I would suggest having a chat in discord with people from the server that are here for a while - you can get to make new friends/premades and get the view from another side of the coin on the existing GP system. Its always the question of balancing the bloody coins! Nerk nerk!

Thanks for the response!

Hello all, I'm looking into the web to find a snapshot of Aion database for version 4.6. Not really getting any info on this. Question to all: If you have a website link or github link - please share it. Suggestion to EuroAion team: Do you think it would be helpful to have a pinned topic to contain info/link to an Aion database for 4.6 version? Kind regards, Rcv
