PowerPlay Manager is moving to a new server

Hello friends, As I have mentioned in the previous news, PowerPlay Manager is moving to a new server. Therefore the game will have to be shut down for a few hours by our estimates. The whole process starts on Friday, October 17, 2008 at 11:30pm CET. Due to the assignment of new IP addresses, everybody will have to wait until the provider updates them. If you see a page announcing technical maintenance and server changing, it means that this has not been done yet. As soon as everything is successfully over, you will be able to connect to the new server, you will be able to log into... Read the article

Economical changes and other news

Hello friends During the last 10 days we have continued in optimizing the server, which has been more or less successful and we managed to lighten the load on the server and make the calculations much less demanding. It was necessary because the load on the processor and RAM was at times almost the whole day on 100%. Gioel did a great job and we even created a little cushion which we can build on in the future. Regarding the restrictions that it brought you will only notice a few things: 1. Players from the sports academy that you take you’re your team will not join the team... Read the article

The ups and downs of the first season

Hello friends, Today the first official season in beta version of hockey was concluded by the seasonal calculation.

I will start with the latest one. An error occured in the seasonal calculation concerning the relegation and promotion and when we tried to fix the problem there were some error mainly in the...

New bugs appeared and old bugs fixed

Hi friends Maybe you have already noticed it, but in the last 2 days the game calculation was much slower. Especially the lower leagues were finished late. It can be seen by the slow league standings updating. The reason is, that we have more registered hockey teams now and especially in the recent days there were many newbies. There is also another problem. Due to the fact, that we cannot open new leagues during playoff time, we must create these before the playoff starts and all the previous games of the teams are being calculated. And there are many to be... Read the article

Moving on to Beta version of hockey

Hello friends, The PowerPlay Manager project has successfully completed the Pre-Beta stage and has now been upgraded to the Beta version, where hockey is available without restrictions to all the managers. The aim of Pre-Beta version was mainly to test the server at full load. The test went well apart from some details and everything works fine. We will continue to fix bugs in the Beta version and add new features, which may require a complete restart of the game. Therefore we would like to ask everybody for patience. We expect the Beta version to last for 6 months after which there... Read the article

The first day is over

Hi friends, The first and very hectic day of Pre-Beta is now history. How did it go? As many of you have witnessed, our server collapsed right at the beginning (the reason was that 450 poeple within 5 seconds clicked to create a team, which is a rather difficult process to calculate, and the server couldn't cope with it), which caused a few problems, but eventually the team creation process got going nicely and until yesterday it was going smoothly. A shame about that initial collapse. A number of teams got corrupted because the team creation was interrupted in the middle of the process.... Read the article

What's in store for us in the Pre-Beta?

Hello friends, I would like to give you at least some basic information about the Pre-Beta testing phase. It should be remembered that it is only a testing mode. Time is accelerated 4 times and many features are not yet done or tuned up. Therefore we ask everybody for patience. Bugs are being solved on the go and we will try to communicate with you via the hockey news and forums. There are still quite a few things that must be finished and we rely on you to help us test them and tune them up. At the moment the live broadcast is still not done and it will not be ready for the... Read the article
