I think you might be confusing a server reset and a service reset.

I think when the problems happened just 2 weeks prior the service/application running on the server was reset. This however was a server reset.

I will say I don't know what windows server they are running on. I run 2003 and 2008 windows servers primarily and we don't reboot for 6-12 months at a time unless some hardware failure happens. However I have no idea what grade hardware the server is running and that would play a large part of when reboots would be required.

Anyway, I think this tin foil hat theory is going a little far considering that red and blue were both reset.

Nope, I'm nearly positive that I am not incorrect that they were in fact both server resets.

If, in fact, the first one was a service reset however, then the reset 2 weeks later was still not necessary in order to prevent a crash later on or whatever the reason...since there was a previous reset not much earlier.

The server reset was performed without proper prior notice, while the rebel alliance had strangled every mob away from the handicapped members of Nihilum, and put nicely into a time frame that everyone knows we've never been able to contest Nihilum during because of what time core Azrael members get home.

I for one do not get home during the week until ~9PM EST (west coast), Andis is similar, and Lite doesn't get on until usually an hour sometimes 2 before that. Kringe doesn't get finished with his work (though he farms golem wands while at work) until after 9PM.

Having so nicely painted this picture for you, are you now able to see what a load of bs these server resets are for us every time? It takes a week of hard fought grief infested pvp just to push these fights 1-2 hours back to where we can actually contest in guild v guild pvp with proper class balance/leadership.

But with this continually happening immediately after we gain the upper hand, why should we continue to bother?

If one server resets throws you off this bad then eq is not the game for you. EQ is all about adjusting to whatever happens.

One reset does not equal continually...

Wow really? You know this game owned by 1-2 people and not a company? You know this game is free right? They don't have the same obligations to people that some company who you pay for their service owe to you.

One server reset??? ONE??? LOLOLOLOLOL...dude you are beyond help. This has happened to us probably close to 10 times since I came back to this box.

As for the staff and the fact that the game is free and they don't owe us anything? Sure you may be right on that account that they in fact don't owe us anything. However what is the hurt in announcing downtime in advance?

Nihilum actually has inside info (Arzak) on the scheduled downtime whereas the rest of the box does not. Whether its 2-10 hours you guys have that edge and can batphone well in advance of us.

Wtb edit...

Proof of you guys having advanced notice on this downtime. Zarah does not log in for anything except VP and respawn days. I've seen Zarah log into the server within 20 minutes of the server going down twice in the last month or so, when there had been no prior posted notice. How does this happen I wonder?

Ya because Zarah popping in minutes before a "random" server reset when there were currently no mobs up is organization and not proof that you had inside info. It is a well known fact Zarah does not log in otherwise.

I can only think of twice the server went down when you guys contested anything. Once was when CT was late the server went down Friday (you got that CT anyway so nothing was lost). The second was when the server was reset on Tuesday. I cannot think of another case.

Well crap I wish they would tell me in advance about these resets. Other people also since we normally only have 20 on after a reset mid day.

There was a server reset the week of our first Trakanon (you guys did kill it the next time it spawned at 5am, however the server magically reset either that day or the day after).

I count the Faydedar as a server reset (though it was a patch) even though you claim to have had the timer, I doubt you would have been able to muster a force at 3:30am EST.

Server reset after pushing the timer of CT back on at least one occasion, Ragefire once, Nagafen once.

Not to mention this most recent reset when the entire server was on a plate for us.

As for your numbers after resets...35 Nihilum online within 10 minutes of a reset twice in a row around the time Kringe came back, both times less than 20 Nihilum online prior to reset. One time was while we were sitting on 9 Nihilum corpses in Kithicor. And I can remember some noon resets/crashes (if u wanna call them that) on Ragefire where you guys had 30 people on immediately.
