Rumor has it that the entire R99 database is corrupt/player data deleted

[Seary]

Lol, sources tell me that the server went poof and so did the backup. That's the reason behind discussing whether the new server should be FFA or teams based.

Someone get Nizzar, Tune, Battle, and the rest of the undead crew and put them on suicide watch. Tell their moms that no meatloaf will be needed tonight.

Realistically though this is probably the best thing thats happened to Red99, but it will need a few weeks at least of publicizing the new server to grow a cult following again. Lets iron out all the PVE bugs so that we don't get any cheaters this time through the leveling curve.

I know a cop in Detroit who can tell some convenience store owners to be on the lookout for multichins nervously purchasing conventional means of suicide

just doing my part in this time of Wipe.

Blue burnt up, red was brought down and switched to blue. Now red is waiting for the parts that blue needed.

Detroit because that is where I envision pathetic losers generally live

Please use the correct Before Wipe (BW) and After Wipe (AW) terminology when referring to all events.

In this case it obviously happened AW but we need to form good habits early for the sake of box historians everywhere

Parents still put out milk and cookies on christmas eve but it don't make santa claus real. Gotta keep up appearance before breaking the news to the kids that the box ain't coming back.

bros i'm doing lines off hookers who I just banged for free in cancun but wanted to log on rq to tell you all to get a life

[bigeasy]

As if there wasn't already enough going on lately, one of the hard drive arrays on the server decided to have two hard drive failures within a short time frame, so it has failed the array completely. The data is safe, but it's left the server in an odd state. I'll try to get the game server back up tonight. I've already ordered new hard drives for the whole array, overnighted to the data center for tomorrow, so worst case scenario it will be back up tomorrow night.

During this time you may see the website/LS go down intermittently as I shuffle things around.

Bumpin all da Colgate threads. He is a box hero IMO.

[bigeasy]

and u morans have no clue how easy it is to backup a SQL database,, rogean would take a major hit if he let any player data get wiped over not having a proper backup system

[bigeasy]

the worst that would happen is the server being rolled back a few days,, nice try trolls clinging to hope

Dood there weren't even drives to hotswap on raid... u think theres actually offsite backups and shit?

Raid 5 is even speculation it could have been mirroring only.

And yeah accidents happen when derping around with drives.

[Tomato King6]

HAHAH how easy it is to backup a SQL database...HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAAH


Remember how many times Voidd has updated the server without backing up and had to rollback?

Who the fuck you think you are talking to BigEasy? Are you a rookie at this eqemu shit?

I have an sql database , seems pretty easy to me.

I think he lost all the drives and the backups

honestly I want a new server id like to play again. And id never play the way it is now.

[dwightgeary]

these wheel chair things are so fucked up guys its on a diffrent lvl of trolling

[Bantam 1]

If it goes teams I might actually play on red lol

If ur immersed enough to care about a eq guild on a vacation in Spain that is not winning the box. When I'm on vacation I ensure an ample supply of titties, cocaine, top shelf scotch and high stakes blackjack.

If it's true that the array did die and backups were "lost", good. Then no one can complain that they actually wiped it, shit does happen, i know cause i work with these things.

This isn't something we pay for so to expect rogean to have backups offsite in a fireproof safe for our pixels isn't to be expected.

Lets wipe it clean, implement new rulesets, learn from what we have in the 2 years red99 has been up, and do it all again.

Honestly, if i was one of the nihilum solo grinding pixels in VP, i'd support the wipe as well, it really can't be fun logging once a week to raid shit there's no contest for

[Vile]

and u morans have no clue how easy it is to backup a SQL database,, rogean would take a major hit if he let any player data get wiped over not having a proper backup system

what happens if the drives with the back ups die bro

unless rogean had that shit up in the cloud, i'll see you fools in the swamp..

See signature for an update on your personal rl status bro, this past friday, no virignities were slayn lets just say that

[Awwalike]

my body is ready

[Gustoo]

I'm fully immersed in the peace and grace of lord bristlebane.

Teams are a bad idea because they are retarded, but we should just roll with 4 level pvp range and item loot to give lowbies a reason to just screw around, and to make economy alive with items people are afraid to wear or get via pvp loot.

Also probably should disable epic MQ's

[runlvlzero]

Any toon under 51 with an epic should automatically be deleted on quest complete.

Same with non-paladins with soulfires in their inventory.

If it was my server I wud...

[runlvlzero]

And not because I think the game needs fixing. But because it would be funny as shit and the fact that people just go to the ez known shit for pvp gimmicks and tricks is lame.

Adversity spurs creativity. And ya'll need some adversity.

[Harr1son]

what the fuck is everyone talking about.?

Bull shit. I worked hard for my druid epic. Got it at 47. Had to level up to 50 to click

[runlvlzero]

I didn't say that people didn't earn it legit... I mean farming plat, mailing pizza's, being someones pal... its all work in the end when it comes to epic at level 1.

But I wasn't directing that at you.

[runlvlzero]

I meant it as a way to make people earn the levels for it. And not use it as a weak pvp clutch.
