Server Down (Nov 14th, 4 PM)

[Rogean]

Looks like the database crashed.

Don't worry we have redundancy, all the data is fine.

Working on it.. Also going to patch the server while it's down.

[hedbonker]

Thanks Rogean. You guys SO rock.

[Xadion]

Obligatory kunark?!!?!

[Happyfeet]

Thanks for letting us know. I guess I'll have to bite the bullet though on my loot in the no rent bags :-X no worries though

[Brad_mo123]

I will have your children if you bring the server up in the next 5minutes.

If you log in fast enough, no rent stuff might last - I think it's based on server online time, so there should be say 15 minutes after it comes back up to log in and retain the stuff.

That's been my experience in the past, at least.

[Batojiri]

very cool, thought something was weird when my game lagged out 2 times today.

[Jjlent]

woot i hope thats true and my no rent bags dont poof, i had a bunch of good items in em :(

[linuxbruiser]

Thanks for being on it guys =)

Could you also look into the IP exceptions currently requested? I posted one in the appropriate section.

Thank you

Never put anything valuable in a no rent bag. it would be a real sad day as some has put their epic weapons in that bag in the past and it went into the void.

Yea I'll stop what I'm doing getting the server up to check the IP Exceptions. NP.

[Slade_the_Slide]

Nah, my loot was just a few mino battle axes, nothing major. I know better than to put something like an epic in them.

Unbelievable.

[Rogean]

Vazdru

Really? it didnt occur to you that the database crash might be a bit more important? do you just look for opportunities to piss off Rogean?

[Jjlent]

thanks rogean, you really do a lot to keep this amazing server up and running

[Jfertal]

Rez us!

[Darklake]

oooo, just enough time for a fried egg sammidge :-)

[Vladigan]

Thanks for the hard work! This game is worse than crack...

[Jfertal]

I think eq come downs are worse then a crack come down.

I think your 'girlfriend' is going to have to wait to play.

[Brnzedrgn]

Thanks for yalls hard work for everyone to have a good time!

[SunshineHighway]

I think your 'girlfriend' is going to have to wait to play.

My fiance keeps asking me when she'll be able to log on lol. Keep telling her to be patient.

[Puyen]

Thanks for the info and thanks for working swiftly on the issue.

You guys rock. A for effort! Haha

[cadiz]

I think your 'girlfriend' is going to have to wait to play.

No dude, it's his "wife" and she probably doesn't like to type and moves with the keyboard erratically because that's how she plays.

[Darklake]

ooo, you tease...it's up but "locked"...

[Anderdale]

No dude, it's his "wife" and she probably doesn't like to type and moves with the keyboard erratically because that's how she plays.

you are a funny guy but my wife never types when we plays a MMO. she is not social at all. I usually do all the talking and she just nukes shit. However, she wont play eq because she likes pretty graphics. she will play some eq2 now.

[Darklake]

...and we're off! \o/

[linuxbruiser]

Thank you so much =)

[Swayze22]

I lost torch of alna quest items from crash...

[Quineloe]

This is the first time I actually need this, so stupid question inc - will there be GM rezzes for the people who died deep inside dungeons due to the crash?

[cadiz]

Sadly I haven't been able to sell some folks on classic EQ as well because of the graphics. I don't mind them, the gameplay and challenge is where it's at.

[Jjlent]

i lost a crested mistmoore shield, a treant staff, n like some bandaids, suhrikens, and FS weapons/bronze amor i dont care about. just would like shield n staff back pls

[Anderdale]

absolutely. I in no way need good graphics when the gameplay is done so well. good graphics are a plus but for my wife they are everything.

[Hobby]

Please please please -- Post in the appropiate sections. If you have lost something due to the server crashing, post it in the exploit/petition forum for reimbursements..do NOT petition in game

If you died due the server, please petition in game so i can verify the time of death and decide to rez or not

If you cant join groups..world server keeps reconnecting, or anything else -- we know...and Rogean is working on it.

[ElanoraBryght]

I logged in to the 1 minute camp warning, so missed any reason for this second server down and eta for server back up tonight.
ETA?
:)

Thanks guys!

[jamsen]

Thanks for the update, Hobby. You guys work is highly appreciated.

for ElanoraBryght: Zones' connections to the worldserver and Chatserver kept crashing, booting everyone out of groups and such (at least it was in my group).

[Zarcath]

Is this related to the DB or something to do with the patch?

[Hobby]

Rogean will ellaborate on this matter when things have been fixed - until then, we ask you to be patient -- and the server has gone down for the 2nd time to fix the contiuning problem it was having..instead of having it worked on while people were in game, it is 100x more safe to fix it with it closed.

[RocketMoose]

Thanks for working diligently on this. I'm frustrated, trying to get to level 20 tonight, but I'm glad this exists =) Thanks!

[impact]

thanks a ton for your effort guys im amazed at the benevolence

[finalgrunt]

Thanks a ton for the missile animation effect on mage bolts. I thought I'd never have that ever again!!

Thumbs up !!! :) :D
