I was just thinking, that on the new AG3, could there possibly be away to see if your freinds are online, so that it makes it easier to know if you want to talk to them or not?

When AG3 is ready, it should immediately replace AG2, barring any circumstances where an Internet Provider caches the addresses of the AG2 servers, but even that should resolve fairly quickly. As we get closer to launch date, I'll be sure to update our "DNS" servers so users should all get AG3 at the same time.

I think @valkery was asking whether we'd leave this site up and running even after AG3 is launched, but AG3 will replace AG2 completely.

cormyn, one more question if you know this, would we be able to change the time to our own time zones on AG3.0? Or will it be a set time zone again? Minor thing I know, but I'm just curious xP

I'll keep archived versions of the current site for nostalgic purposes.

archive.org and their "way back machine" will do that for you, Knight.

@BlackVortex, We're already looking into time-zone related stuff, 'cause I agree, it's funny to see that my most recent reply is 3 hours ahead because our current servers are on the east coast somewhere.

The Wayback Machine leaves something to be desired in some areas.

Oh, I also recall AG's server being located in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

No ETA yet. We'll post a schedule in the AG3 forum when we have a better idea.

It does sound like the best option to do and besides... why should AG2 be kept running next to the new AG3? Don't see the point of that...

I'll keep archived versions of the current site for nostalgic purposes.


Thanx for the reminder knight_34! I almost forgot to make some printscreens from the current version... it was nice to see 'Games of Gondor' when you showed me too!

Oh wait... what's that then?! 0_o It does it for you or something?
Can someone explain it a little more to this wondering whabbit... pleeezzz... (^u*u^)

the archive.org team (or it might just be one guy) makes archived copies of as many web sites as possible, and will even mark when they crawled the site for content and whether any of that content changed from the last time they were there.

It's funny to use to go back and look at old copies of Yahoo, CNN, etc.
