I dont know how people can play that game... Its the most annoying, rage-inducing game of all time.
-
Noooooo :(
I hope it gets fixed soon, otherwise I don't know what to do with myself!
Last night I was up until 3am checking every 30 mins to see if it was back on! Plus I was really looking forward to x2 xp points this weekend, planned on taking full advantage of that; now I can't :(
-
I assume with all these problems they'll probably do an x2 weekend this coming weekend to make up for all the problems that we're having right now, after all we can't really enjoy using something that isn't available.
-
Awaiting further instruction from the network guys, thanks for being so patient guys. In regards to your double exp, we'll be extending the time due to the issues both last night and tonight. Thanks!
-
It it hardware issues ? Or routing issues?

I find them over and over... sometimes it seems like my world is a dessert... xD
-
again down ?
-
Alas, tis down yet again!
-
*Rubs eyes* Ahh, nice long sleep. Okay host, you can turn it back on now... :)
-
Would you mind keeping the server failures for when I'm in the period between losing and regaining internet and won't be around anyways?
Sure, I can use this time to start packing my stuff to throw in storage, and I have been, but I'd rather waste away in front of a computer screen.
-
Time to play Antichamber that I got the other day c:
-
Time to watch some Doctor Who. See if I can like Clara as much as Amy...

What kind of host can't resolve this issue within 6 hours, let alone 12.
It may not necessarily be a direct host problem. It can also be that the problem is further downstream with the provider between the host and the open internet. In which case the serverhost would have to contact the provider and get them to fix the problem. Don't forget, you are used to EU service-standards (and the EU timezone), in the US provider-nightshifts are often understaffed and working overtime to fix a problem for a small customer like a gameserver-host? Unheard of! ;)
There is a reason why most US providers failed on trying to get a direct foothold in the EUmarket (much more competition and more service-oriented competition, it's easier for customers to switch the provider and the regulations are much tougher). If you think dutch or german providers are slow - pray you never get stuck with AOL or Comcast.
So maybe the server is actually up all the time and just doesn't have a connection to us thanks to some sloppy provider. Sitting there in it's cold and dark serverroom - all alone with noone to play on it - wondering "010001000110111101101110001001110111010000100000011101000110100001100101011110010010000001101100011011110111011001100101001000000110110101100101001000000110000101101110011110010110110101101111011100100110010100111111"
Well~ anyway, I think it's 08:30 am in NewYork now, so I guess the ones who have to fix that problem should have arrived in the office by now. Give or take 2 coffees and a chat about yesterdays baseballgame they might actually be looking at (and hopefully fixing) the problem soon. :P
Or maybe it's just offline because DadJäger hasn't made the server any pancakes yet?
-
I think everyone would like to know some sort of reason why it's still down after so many hours.
Data center down? Host company on fire? Ddos? Rodents Of Unusual Size?
Whatever it is, please explain so we can at the very least have a rough idea of what's going on.
-
The last thing I heard Foob say about the issue was "Duelcon broke it" :) And read Alba's post; very astute.
-
well... still down... now what do i do. Guess i'll make a fat mans breakfast and check again when im done eating lol. I'm thinking bacon and eggs and pancakes.... nom nom
-
So we'll just keep blaming Duel then :P
-
Rodents Of Unusual Size?
-
I'm thinking by this time, the IT guys have finally checked their emails. Having been informed of the problem, there is much yelling, finger pointing and CYA going on. Our true american style. BUT ... no one has really looked at the problem.
If they would, they would discover the cleaning lady accidentally turned the power off when dusting the server closet ...
-
The 'cloudsquid' banner at the bottom of this page is also not working, aren't they the servers hosters ?
Perhaps bigger problems then ?

Or its a telecom issue and no one knows who is responsible for the telecom since its all contracted to contractors who contracted to MOM and POP Telecom, who contracted to India, who subcontracted back to the USA, who then hired the original contractor........

Can confirm this, I work for a subcontractor of TWC, and we have at least 3 sub-sub-contractors working for us just on a single 5000 mi project. >:(

The problem is that provider/datacenter issues sometimes aren't that easy to fix. There's a lot of connections going in and out at once and many connections also need to use thirdparty services on their way through (and into) the internet which you can't directly control. So you rarely just have to switch a cable or press a button to fix the problem. And if it's a non IT-failure (like snow breaking one of the early-20thcentury-style aboveground powerlines or the datacenters powersytem going up in smoke) - well you probably know better than me how long it takes to get a servicetechnician in the US ;)
I just hope the NSA (or in my case the local pendant) doesn't get too nervous by our sudden deviation of our profiled daily minecraftsession. It's cold and smoggy outside and these black surveillance-vans don't look like they have a good heating.
Although maybe THEY could figure out who is responsible for fixing the problem. Aren't they the ones supposed to know everything that happens in the internet? Maybe Double-O-Lawrence should try to ask them using his MI6 contacts.

Oh the irony, i gave this server 1 last chance before leaving it and it goes offline for 2 days.
-
Have to expect some hic-ups near the beginning.
Is that how you spell hic-ups? It doen't look right.

Thanks Jack, that looks much better!

I... HATE... COMCAST!!!!!!!! I'm done with them, time to threaten them that I'll switch to Fios, that should get them moving :P

Yea there are bound to be hiccups in something new like this. I am sure it will take a while to get all of the kinks worked out. We will just continue to wait patiently. I hope they figure out the problem soon though. Anyone for a good card game while we wait?

Don't give up too soon it took Edison 200 tries before the Light bulb worked.

im just here to say, it could have possibly been me? or aqw or that guy over there *shouts to random dude* 'YOU BROKE IT NOT DUEL'. or maby not... anyway i probably just waisted your time by making this 'reply'.(#foobfixitnowsinceimdieingwithouttheserverplzplzplzplz).

The admins are aware and wanting it fixed just as much as the rest of us. It isn't a server issue from what I gather, but something further up the line. Thank you all for your patience and bear with it. May I suggest a book?

I suggest The Book Thief.
I was not able to connect from Comcast for 2 days or 3 days and now this? I was looking forward to play Noobs while I was sick.
-
Sucks that over a day of my VIP time has gone away cause the server has been down :/ Wish the days didn't go down when something was wrong with the server.

What is this mystical thing you call a book o.O

While the server is down, you can always play Foobs other server 'mineapoc' or have a good chat on teamspeak with other players. :)
Teamspeak IP: voice.noobstown.com:10667
Mineapoc IP: Mineapoc.com
-
I was getting a 522 error showing failed connection between CloudFlare, based in Frankfurt, and Noobstown.com a few hours ago.
Connection from a US proxy was working fine, but it doesn't exclude a more widespread problem.
The admins can do nothing but wait until the host (and all the middle companies involved) will solve the problem.
If this is the same thing as before, they really have some serious issues on their lines.
-
Surely some service level agreement should have kicked in by now.....
or don't those exist in the USA ?
This kind of downtime due to ISP would be unacceptable in Europe.

I'm pretty sure there will soon be a mob of angry American Noobs trying to break down the doors of the Comcast HQ like Mineapoc zombies if they don't get it fixed lol.
-
It should have. SLA's do exist here, but you generally only see them on Business Class connections, normal home connections you're pretty well at their mercy. That said the SLA for the server farm should have already kicked into effect.
-
I also noticed noobsTOWN.com doesnt work you have to type in noobsCRAFT.com.
-
I also noticed noobsTOWN.com doesnt work you have to type in noobsCRAFT.com.
The main website address is noobscraft.com. Noobstown.com is a redirection link which leads to noobscraft.com
Due to the server(and whole machine) is off, the noobstown.com address is off too.
-
Sorry, mine was actually a typo.
I went through the correct traceroute and checked if the host could be reached (not just the Noobscraft server) so there was no mistake there.
Using an US proxy worked every time, EU based ones temporarily showed such error since there was no connection past that point (Frankfurt happens to be the main node for most of central EU).

Between this and the Comcast problem I've probably lost about 4 days of my short VIP status.

Server is now back up
