new fresh

[Jonteh]

I don't mean to come off negatively. I don't personally like this version but that's beside the point. I think they've done a good job to do the upgrade in 2 days and get it mostly stable in one. However my assumption is they've worked every waking hour to get to this point.

The test system isn't really for the users benefits. It's for the developers. It's so they aren't working 16 hours for 3 days to get the upgrade through as fast as possible. The fact that the users benefit too is just a by-product. I don't know if it's technically feasible or financially feasible but it's just a suggestion.

The Fresh database is ~200 GB. It took 18 hours alone to edit the structure of the items table basically meaning it would be stupid to have a test hotel as:

1. The data would be deleted and a fuck load of time wasted
2. There is no way to actually test half of the shit we have done without having a large userbase on the hotel. Trust me because both [MENTION=2]Kane[/MENTION] and myself have been running large hotels for many years and have a lot of experience in this.

You say it's for us to have a test system, but as I've pointed out above it would be for naught as it's impossible for me (the developer) to test load balancing, threading, features, etc all by myself as for starters I don't even play retros like regular players..

It's appreciated though the fact you ain't being an asshole about it, but at the end of the day, Fresh has to get with the times or it's going to be left behind, feature-wise and we don't want to see Fresh a dead hotel in a years time because it failed to update when it had the chance.
