I am slowly migrating data over to a new server and trying to improve the internet statistics/leaderboard for Fish Tycoon. If you have been checking in lately and it seems like it is behaving wierdly--well it is!

I'll have it working well again within a week or so probably, and hopefully I'll have it working better than before soon.

At present I have purged all the old scores (I still have them all recorded and we might restore them, or the top ones at least).

Thanks for bearing with me!

Where is the leaderboard located these days? I have never seen it but tried the link to LDW left a while back and it said not available

LDW is in the process of moving their server, and not all functions are back online yet.

When that happens I am curious about something - Is there something built in to it that takes into consideration what difficulty level you play at?

i understand that the leader board may not be up but can someone please list the link to it for when it is up. i have searched the forum and website and cant seem to find it.

BTW Great game im soo addicted. i used to breed fish for a hobby and now i work at PetSmart but have been off for a few months since i had my son. so i really enjoy playing with fish again. even tho i have many aquariums at home you can never have to many believe me.

The leaderboard is back up, but it looks like people are still submitting bogus stats. It's accessible from the Fish Tycoon for Windows page on LDW's main website. Or you can just click here to go straight to the leaderboard!

thanks that helps a bunch. i have been to that page a few times and i guess i just never saw that... kinda feel dumb now... LOL

Is that leaderboard for windows? How do the names get entered? Avg price of 704? is that really possible? Does it still need to get fixed?

Joe

The average price isnt what jumps out at you - A Billion plus dollars in 14 hours???? gimme a break! How is that entry even accomplished - setting the clock off by a decade or two?

Yes, the leaderboard is only for the Windows version of Fish Tycoon - the other versions don't have that capability. The scores are automatically uploaded to the server when a player clicks on the refresh button of the statistics screen in the game.

To be blunt about it, many of those scores are not possible without cheating. There has been a lot of discussion about that, some of it heated. You could easily find it by searching the Fish Tycoon forum, if you're interested. Arthur does clean up the stats, but there is a flood of them coming in at any given time. He is considering various ways to improve the situation.
