Unofficial Handbook to the Virtue Universe - Now Extra Shiny

So apparently some Chinese users REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted our stuff.

Now thankfully they didn't manage to get any of it, but the result has left the database for VV with a wee bit of corruption. Nothing major but its exploded the size of the data table for the site to an unrealistic level.

I've locked the site to edits for now and tonight I will rebuild the data table manually which should resolve the issue. Unfortunately my stop gap fix last night doesn't seem to have helped any.

Sorry guys! The data is fine and the site is okay I just don't want to see the DB explode in more unhappiness.

Bah, how annoying (for you!), Ransim!
Thank you so very much!

That's... so weird. But I'm glad that we have such an awesome admin on the job.

Just gotta say that making VV pages for my characters was always my favorite part of creating them.

Even more than actually playing them. Sadly.


Shame CO's equivalent is like a 5th grade version compared to VV.

Just an update and a apology, the site issues unfortunately came at the worst possible time for me, we've got a major launch at work so I spent all of last night fixing last minute things people waited to report.



I spent a little bit of time on VV but I didn't have the amount of time necessary to do the work. If I don't go home and crawl into my bed to hide under the covers tonight I will try to get the database fix done. If not it'll probably be Thursday.

I'm so sorry again guys.

Well to give Primus at least some credit, they did kindly credit the original infobox designer Eisregen which many sites have not. But yeah VV is unique I guess in that we want people to have some creative freedom with their pages rather then forcing you to a specific template. I know Primus and Ouroportal both have specific wiki style templates.

If I was planning to move to CO I'd offer to do a VV style wiki for the game. I was working on some plans to allow people to do expanded universe information on ther VV page for characters outside of COH.

Alright, Virtueverse should be back up. The database now lives in a new location, so it'll be easy going for a few days while I monitor and tweak things. Please report any issues you encounter.

As a reminder everyone, Virtueverse is not going anywhere. I've been swamped with work but I'm working on plans to try and expand the site out.

Please be sure to keep in touch via our forums or the site.
