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

EttaDreamfeather · « **Reply #28 on:** 24 Feb 2014, 01:33:20 »

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!

UPDATE: We are experiencing issues again, the server will be back as soon as possible.

The server is currently experiencing unexpected problems which is causing issues with connecting. We are looking into resolving these issues and it will hopefully be back as soon as possible.

Sorry for the downtime.

Thank you Lawrence for all you do!

Alas, tis down yet again!

DadJaeger · « **Reply #40 on:** 24 Feb 2014, 10:38:36 »

*Rubs eyes* Ahh, nice long sleep. Okay host, you can turn it back on now...

Reigando · « **Reply #41 on:** 24 Feb 2014, 10:46:57 »

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:

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.

Or maybe it's just offline because DadJäger hasn't made the server any pancakes yet?

Darkwings · « **Reply #45 on:** 24 Feb 2014, 13:40:13 »

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.

DadJaeger · « **Reply #46 on:** 24 Feb 2014, 13:47:31 »

The last thing I heard Foob say about the issue was "Duelcon broke it"

And read Alba's post; very astute.

Kyppster · « **Reply #47 on:** 24 Feb 2014, 13:51:40 »

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

Omega1291 · « **Reply #48 on:** 24 Feb 2014, 13:54:32 »

So we'll just keep blaming Duel then
