ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* Happy
New Year, everyone! I apologize for the late updates in the
website. First off, for the Christmas Guild Event that was
held on December 28, 2005, many Twins members showed up for
the event! To win the prize, each participant was to collect
a number of items from Magma Dungeon, Sphinx, Turtle
Dungeon, and Umbala Dungeon and then find Hunter Arius
hiding somewhere in Yuno. It was difficult for most, as only
two Twins members were able to complete the event. The first
place winner is
DemonMagician, and the second place winner is
ryomn. Congratulations
to the winners! If the winners are still missing some of
their prize money, please contact
Yoon Huh or Hunter
Arius.
* We
have yet another new Twins sub-guild, known as
Caothic Twins, which has
been founded by The
Heal, our prominent Brazilian Twins member!
Caothic Twins will mainly
be a sub-guild for Brazilian Twins members.
Se vocź
estiver interessado em juntar o guild de "Caothic
Twins", contate por favor "The
Heal."
* It
has come to my attention that there have been some recent
incidents regarding some Twins members that are breaking
some of qRO's general
rules. Here is a refresher on
qRO's general rules:
- No
verbal, racial or sexual harassment to other
qRO characters.
- No botting.
- No scamming of items or other users' accounts.
- No abusing of game glitches (such as the party bug).
Please keep
these in mind, as we do not want our reputation as a guild
to be tarnished by such acts. Be warned, if any Twins member
is found to be committing such acts listed above, they will
be subject to immediate expulsion from
the guild, as well as being reported to the
qRO GM staff.
You have been warned.
WEBSITE
UPDATES:
* Added some
screenshots from the Christmas
Dead Branch Party, Christmas Guild Event, and New Year's WoE.
* Guild member
page for Caothic Twins has
been added.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
*
Dominating Twins has established an alliance with the
-Soul Templars- guild! Under this alliance, specific terms
have been established, which can be explained in a
post made by Hunter Arius in the
message board:
Hi all
Twins!
After today's WoE, January 12th 2006, we've came up to an
Alliance with the -Soul Templars- Guild, wich we helped to
keep their title of Payon Castle Owner!
After 42 mins of talking, we've camed up to the following
conclusions for the alliance:
- For the next 3 - 4 Weeks, we MUST HELP the -Soul Templars-
to keep their castle!
- In the next month we must get at least 25 WoE Active
People in the Dominating Twins!
- Once we'll have enough active members for WoE, -ST- are
gonna help us to get a castle, and will give us Backup chars
to defend it.
- The only reason you can miss a woe without pre-telling us,
is Hollidays!
These are the Terms of Alliance with the -ST-.
Now here is a few new rules for the Dominating Twins Guild,
since we have Alliance, we must get serious, so here what
follow up:
- If a member (Except the Ancients of Twins), miss 2 WoE or
more in a row, he/she is kicked!
- If a member don't respect allied members or guild members,
he/she's out!
These rules might be rude, but Today is the day where the
Dominating Twins will start to appear in the world of Qro!
Sincerely,
Hunter Arius
Several people
were questioning the missing 2 WoE in a row rule and that it
was too harsh of a rule.
KillerSmo has clarified this situation with the
following post:
I think the
easiest way to wrap this up is that if you're inactive,
you're out. Simple as that.
Do we want you at WoE?
Of course, we need as many people as possible, but if
you can't make it and you're active - it's all good!
You'd still be helping the guild level.
Stay active, stay a Twin - I think that's the best
way to say it...
* As of
January 15, 2006, all Twins sub-guilds (Caothic, Dark
Angels, Killing, Sniping) no longer exist, as we have
re-merged back into Dominating
Twins. For those that were active in the above listed
guild and would like to join
Dominating Twins, please contact a
Dominating Twins guild
member so that they can recruit you.
GAME
UPDATES:
*
The
Quality Ragnarok
Online (LR) has gone through a massive update! Several
new towns (Ayothaya, Einbroch, Lighthazlen) and dungeons (Ayothaya
Dungeon, Einbroch Dungeon, Lighthazlen Dungeon, Bio Lab,
Abyss Lake, Thanatos Tower), along with several new monsters
and MVPs are now accessible! However, to access the new
content, the Korean Ragnarok Online client is now required,
as the iRO client does not contain the necessary files to
access the new areas. For those that do not have the Korean
Ragnarok Online client, Hunter Arius has posted a
step-by-step guide on how to install the Korean Ragnarok
Online client and the necessary files to play on the
Quality Ragnarok
Online (LR) server, which can be found in this thread:

about the
Crossworlds2 mod.
WEBSITE
UPDATES:
* A new
revision of
Yoon's Corner has been launched! Here are the details:
Introducing Yoon's Corner 2.0
A New
Way to Browse the Forums
Finally, after hours of work, Yoon's Corner 2.0 is now
complete! There have many many changes to the message board,
which include:
- The new Vista-inspired Yoon's Corner.
- Former Genso Suikoden and Ragnarok Online skins now use
Vista-inspired layout as well.
- Private Messages Panel.
- New look for the navigation bar.
- Addition of the Live Discussion Board.
- New icons for threads, posts, and other areas.
- RPG level up system implemented.
- Addition of Chrono Cross avatars.
- Several other minor changes.
The new Vista-inspired skin is now the default skin for the
message board. If you are dissatisfied with the new skin and
want to use the old black and blue skin, you may change your
skin via Profile > Modify Profile > Select Skin. The old
skin is called "Yoon's Corner (2005)." For those that are
stuck with the old skin and want to change to the new skin,
follow the same steps above, but select either "Yoon's
Corner," "Genso Suikoden," or "Ragnarok Online," as all of
them use the new Vista-inspired look, with the minor
differences being icons and expressions between them.
One big addition is the Live Discussion section, which now
allows message board users to chat live with other message
board users that are currently browsing the forum. To use
Live Discussion, you must have the latest Java Software or a
Java SDK/JDK installed, which may be obtained from
http://www.java.com/ or
http://sun.java.com/.
Since the new layout makes heavy use of JavaScript, there
are bound to be some bugs. To avoid most of the bugs, please
use
Mozilla Firefox 1.5, as Internet Explorer 6 is now a
somewhat outdated, insecure web browser compared to other
web browsers out there. If you encounter any bugs, please
let me know. Some bugs have been discovered already, which
include over-bolded text in the News table for Internet
Explorer users, as well as the blended links in the Members
section.
I couldn't have done this massive update without the help
from the folks over at
ProBoards Support. Thanks guys!
* The
guild pages for Caothic Twins, Dark Angel Twins, Killing
Twins, and Sniping Twins have been removed, as all Twins
sub-guilds have been broken during the
Dominating Twins
reformation.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* The
Dominating Twins guild has finally achieved one of the goals
it had set when the guild was founded 9 months ago; they
captured (and held) a castle in this last weekend's War of
Emperium event! Congratulations to all Dominating Twins (as
well as our allies) who were able to make this huge feat
possible! Now, the next challenge is to defend the castle
for the next War of Emperium... be prepared everyone, it's
going to be a fierce battle next weekend!
* Since
we have held a castle this week, our guild will be receiving
daily castle treasures. KillerSmo has created a
Castles/Treasures thread in the
message board,
which will be updated as new treasures are received. These
treasures will be available to Dominating Twins members that
request them, but at the moment, first "dibs" go to those
who were active participants in this War of Emperium.
GAME
UPDATES:
* The
new Taekwon class has now been implemented on the
Quality Ragnarok Online
servers! However, their skills are currently bugged at the
moment (can only apply 1 skill point), so experimenting them
to their fullest potential isn't possible yet.
* All
Honey quantities have been wiped to help control the ongoing
inflation that has been plaguing the markets on qRO LR for
quite some time. Honey is also no longer available for sale
by NPCs. You can still obtain Honey from killing monsters,
however.
*
According to the Crossworlds 2 Update Client, several new
hats, skills, maps, as well as the adoption system has been
implemented, but this is not true, as these contents are not
yet available. However, it will be very soon, according to
the Quality Ragnarok Online
staff.

Wednesday,
April 12, 2006
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* Good
job to everyone who participated in last weekend's War of
Emperium event! We had a good amount of people showing up
for last weekend's WoE, as there were 19+ members online
during the WoE event. We were also able to take a castle in
Geffen and held it for 30+ minutes, although we were unable
to capture a castle by the end of WoE.
* Due
to several events occurring in the last couple of weeks, we
no longer have any allies, either due to mergers between
guilds, or disbandment of guilds. Therefore, Dominating
Twins is currently looking for new, WoE active allies at the
moment.
*
Congratulations to both DemonMagician and phyxius, who have
both reached Level 99 in the last couple of weeks!
*
Dominating Twins members! If you have not yet submitted your
guild photo, please do so when you have the time! It will be
mainly for the
Guild Members page, but
they can also be used as personal avatars on
Yoon's Corner.
It is recommended to take a screenshot of your character
selection page, as these picture types will be in a similar
format. If you do not know how to take a screenshot, hit the
"PrntScrn" button on your keyboard. This will save the
current screen as a JPEG file in your screenshots folder,
which is located under the location of where your RO was
installed to. You can send the screenshot file to my
e-mail address.
WEBSITE
UPDATES:
* The
Guild Members page has been
updated. Also, clicking on some guild members for their
stats will no longer lead to a personal bio page. Instead,
it will directly link to their personal equips thread in the
"Jobs
of Rune-Midgard" section of the
message board. If new equips threads are added to the
section, the
Guild Members page will be
updated so that it will link directly to their equips
thread. This is a temporary solution until the database
system can be implemented in the future.
* A
screenshot of last week's WoE event has been added to the
Screenshot page.

Wednesday,
April 26, 2006
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* The
qRO LR server has suffered a devastating setback today, as
people were losing many of their items, due to a 10-number
limit MySQL server bug. As a result, the server rolled back
to April 5th, which was the only viable backup. Here is a
post made by <GM>frostycpu on the qRO Message Board:
Alright, so some
of you have noticed this morning a problem with the server.
Some pieces of equips were disappearing, big problem.
What caused this to happen?
To understand how this happened, you need to know one thing
about the SQL database. All the information is contained in
different parts callled "tables". Each table has a structure
that tells the mySQL server how to insert each piece of
information it recieves.
The table in question today was the "inventory" table, the
table that manages all the equips that wear and carry
around. In it's structure, the table insert item creation
IDs with a limit of 10 numbers.
Ok, but what does that have to do with qRO?
qRO has been online for quite a while, almost 3 years.
During this time, we've never had to do a complete wipe
(still proud of that!). In that sense, it means that since
the first item that was created on day 1 and today, a LOT of
items have been created.
How many have been created you ask? 4294972426 items.
But wait, notice something about this number? Yes, it
already has 10 numbers total. Normally that should be enough
since the limit number for the current structure is 10. But
what you don't see, is that the server will sometimes create
numbers that are higher than the highest number.
That means that at some point today, the server created a
number that had 11 numbers or more.
So what happened then?
What happens when too high numbers are used is somewhat
simple. It tried new, lower numbers. But the thing is, it
won't care if that number is already used or not. If it is
used, it's detected as a "duplicate entry" and deleted
immediately. That's basically what happened this morning.
New IDs were being created/changed, duplicating some which
made the mySQL server delete them.
Is this fixed now, will it happen again?
Yes it is fixed. What was done is that we increased the
possible amount of numbers allowed from 10 to 20. That means
there is a now a lot more space for IDs to be created
without creating problems.
Awesome, but what about my items? You have backups, don't
you?
qRO does weekly backups of it's database since the last
incident with the high rate server. But, misfortune has
struck down again.
The program we were using to create these backups apparently
had an unknown and *undocumented* defect in it. If the
database file created by this program is larger than 1
Gigabyte, it becomes corrupted. This is obviously something
we could never have forseen. You'd think the program would
output some sort of error if the backups are not usable, but
it didn't.
Aside from those corrupted weekly backups, I had created a
manual backup a while ago while testing some modifications.
But that backup is from April 5th, which is way too old.
Some staff members proposed a partial rollback; to rollback
only the items to what they were on the April 5th backup.
Unfortunately, that could create other problems.
Inside a mysql database, each table contains indexes. These
indexes are like bookmarks, they help the mysql server to
look for information more quickly, thus reducing the
char-server lag. But, a lot of tables in the database SHARE
indexes that are synchronized togheter with the other
tables. Only copying the item databases would desynchronize
those indexes, since some would share the same indexes, but
with different values.
So if I understand correctly, it's either we live with this
or do a total restore to April 5th?
That's right. But since a total restore would mean losing 20
DAYS of work, for 133241 characters, the best solution in
the interest of the server as a whole would be to keep the
current database as it is. We were lucky that it happened at
a time where very few people are on. Imagine if this had
happened on WoE hours, we'd probably be looking at a total
wipe.
*sob* I lost x millions in items sad.gif
You have no idea how much it pains me to be living this.
This is basically a server admin's worst nightmare. I do
think we were lucky in our misfortune that it happened at a
time where the userbase is low, but it still ticks me off
that some people are gonna lose their items and that I can't
do anything about it.
I can't say it enough. I'm sorry this happened, even if I
couldn't have stopped it if I wanted to. I will be reporting
this table structure issue to the devs to make sure other
servers don't have to deal with it. We may not have been
lucky as to someone else finding it out before us to fix t,
but at least we can help some other servers that are getting
big so they don't have their database corrupted.
Thank you for understanding.

What Happened With the Database Today.
*
As a result of the rollback to
April 5th, we lost all of our alliances with Astral
Disorder, Knights of Valhalla, and Thugline.
Alliances with AD, KoV, and
Thugline will need to be re-established again.
* As a
result of the rollback to April 5th, we lost over 20 of our
newer members that were recruited in the past 3 weeks. If
these members could contact a Dominating Twins member, we
will be able recruit you back into the guild.
GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* The
experience and drop rates (including cards) have been
doubled on qRO LR, as a result of the 20-day rollback today.
Get back to hunting and leveling to regain what you lost!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* With the
rollback that occurred this week, there were a lesser amount
of members showing up for this WoE, which is understandable.
However, it was still an interesting WoE. Things really
heated up in the last 10 minutes, as Dominating Twins,
Knights of Valhalla, and Thugline took over castles in Payon,
Geffen, and Prontera. However, both Dominating Twins and
Knights of Valhalla were unable to keep their castles.
Congratulations to Thugline on gaining a castle this week.
WEBSITE UPDATES:
* Updated
Thugline's logo to the updated Thugline logo.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
YOON'S CORNER - V/LAN PARTY (MAY 2006):
Another
month, another time to frag! Unfortunately, with final exams
coming up in early May, there will not be any time for a
V/LAN party in April, so later half of May would be the best
time for a V/LAN party. Since the V/LAN party is not limited
to those only in Minnesota (thanks to
Hamachi
VPN software), as long as you have an Internet connection,
you will be able to join us. See the instructions below for
installing
Hamachi.
Date and Time of V/LAN Party
Date: Saturday, May 20, 2006
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 AM+ (Central Time Zone)
The date of May's V/LAN party has been set to Saturday, May
20, 2006. Those of you that are not in the same time zone as
Minnesota, USA, use a time zone converter such as this
one and use Mexico City as your reference for Central
Time Zone, since Minnesota and Mexico City lie in the same
time zone.
List of Possible V/LAN Games:
Here is a list of possible games that we may play for the

them. Also, if you are using a *AHEM* not-so-legal
*AHEM* copy of one of these games and need a no-CD/DVD crack
for a game version listed above, you may contact me via
e-mail.
Hamachi Installation Instructions:
Apparently, a lot of people have been using this software to
play games via LAN connection over the Internet. So now,
instead of being able to join in only some of the MN LAN
games, now you can join in for all of them, regardless of
where you are on Earth, as long as you have a Internet
connection, Hamachi, and of course, the games that we will
be playing for LAN. I have already tested it for games on
other peoples' Hamachi LAN networks and confirmed that it
does indeed work excellently for games.
1.) Download the latest Hamachi version here:
http://forums.hamachi.cc/viewtopic.php?t=7056
2.) To set it up, install the program. It will install a
software network driver called the Hamachi Network
Interface. If you have any firewall software installed, be
sure to allow connections for this program.
3.) After installing, you may be asked to reboot; do so if
it does.
4.) After installation, run through the simple tutorial to
get used to Hamachi.
5.) Then, to join the Hamachi network that we will be using:
Network Name: Yoon's Corner
Password: yoon
After this, you should be connected to our Hamachi LAN
network.
6.) To join a network game in progress, just launch the game
and go to the game's multiplayer LAN (not Internet) section
and you should be able to join the network game.
We would like as many people to come, so if you have time on
May 20, 2006, come join us for the games!
This event is
not limited to those in Minnesota, as it will be using the
Hamachi VPN software.
In other words, anyone on Earth with an Internet
connection and Hamachi installed can join the YC V/LAN
Party! Of course, everyone is welcome to join this
event (including all Dominating Twins members, alliance
members, any qRO players, your friends, etc.), as we want to
get as many people to join the V/LAN party. For suggestions
and comments about this event, you may post in this thread
on Yoon's Corner:

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* More updates
on the upcoming
Yoon's Corner - V/LAN Party, which will be held this
Saturday:
Now that
the V/LAN party is coming close, we need to determine
who will be coming for the party, what time
they will be present, and what games they can
play. This will help determine what games we will
try to play, as well as what time we should play them, so
those who can play will be able to play all at once.

GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* Last
week, there were a couple of minor rollbacks, due to issues
with the server database. As a result, there was about a
week long double experience/job rate in place to make up for
the inconveniences of the rollbacks. The double
experience/job rate should now be over.
