Winters Roar down? June 24

[Kaynin]

Well, i searched in many places to see if it was down or something but i didnt see anything, so can anyone tell me if it is?

I cant get to the website and the patcher just hangs looking for the server, and i dont see anything bout the login server being down anywhare either.

[loser]

its the same for me ......

[killspree]

Start EQ manually for now, there are DNS issues.

[Traul]

Thought it was down today for maintenance...?

[killspree]

No, that was yesterday.

[shick1098]

Can anyone get on as of now? I tried opening it manually, but it still can't find the server.

[Iadas]

it looks like their account might be locked for some reason.

[Oscar]

I'm on atm and the website is up. Just not through the normal means.

Then what is the purpose of general discussion? If a topic comes up people respond. Quit trying to police every single topic, it's ridiculous. And no, I don't care how many posts you have.

[shick1098]

What exactly are your means of getting in Oscar?

[Oscar]

http://67.15.24.48/

Go from there to get on the server itself.

[Belfedia]

Mhhh plz don't flame rangerdown,
He help many people and not ONLY people from one server.
He say just, best for speak about winter roar is on winter roar's forum.

[Oscar]

Ahh my appologies then. You helped me a ton Belfedia so :worship: .

[shick1098]

I went to the address given Oscar, but is there a way to actually play on WR as of now? I'm not that great at the technical stuff so please be patient :-P

[Oscar]

Hehe np. You should be able to avoid the patcher by going straight to eqgame.exe.

[shick1098]

should I edit the eqhost file to the address you gave me? and when I try running eqgame.exe, it tells me to run Everquest.exe first, but that could be overcome by running eqwindows, I guess.

[Oscar]

You shouldn't need to change your eqhost file.

[shick1098]

I tried that, but it can't connect to the server :-/

If you have more trouble look in the above thread. My boss is eyeing me like I stole something lol so I'm trying to respond discreetly. Hes a government guy and I'm a contractor so it's basically like Ogres and Wood Elves....

[shick1098]

I never had any trouble connecting before, but now it just won't connect...like it worked perfectly last night.

[Oscar]

I had the same issue. Go to the word document that came with the new patcher and try inputting that IP I gave you. Also change http://wintersroar.com to www.wintersroar.com.

[shick1098]

I couldn't find the word document in the zip file and do I put the ip into the eqhost file?

[Oscar]

Did you get the new patcher that was just released? If not check that tech forum link I posted.

[shick1098]

Yeah I did get the new patcher, and which thread do I go to in the link? It just goes to the Tech Forum main page

[shick1098]

YES I got it to work :-). Thanks for all your help Oscar

[Oscar]

Cool cool, just disregard my PM =)

Btw, what did you do just incase lol.

[Daimona]

I was having the same problem accessing the WR website as well as the server server hang. After reading here, and finally being able to access the forums I found the following post which fixed my problem.
Hope it helps you.


Copied from WR forums:


DNS is having problems. it's not resolving wintersroar.com but is resolving www.wintersroar.com. It's working for some because their running off of cached DNS.

Add these 2 files to your hosts file:

67.15.24.48 wintersroar.com
67.15.24.48 www.wintersroar.com

The hosts file is normally in:

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc


***Edit, i did not realize there was a second page now so my apologies if this is just redundant information ;p***

[Kaynin]

Wll friggan sorry for puting this in the wrong place, i kinda figured it might have been a "general" becouse its a spicific server and not amuch or anything. whatever.


Anyway, the DNS thing helped me with what i needed.

[Annarielle]

At the moment, these two links will redirect to the site, though the forums aren't in good working order unless you manually patch your Windows host file.

http://www.liquidgaming.org
http://wintersroar.crystalinfinity.com - Will always redirect to Winter's Roar in such a case occurs again

[Ibanesx]

Hmm, how do you even get the new patcher ? It just doesn't work when i try to download it. Do you really need it ? I really want to play WR now, heh.

[RangerDown]

FYI: Regardless of what Winters Roar forums allow/disallow, these EQEmu forums don't allow linking or requesting links to patch files or patchers.

The forum rules prescribe a ban anywhere from 1 week to PERMANENT for this. This ban could be from just these forums, or could also be from the WR logon server as well -- at the eqemu admins' sole discretion.

[Wiz]

You'd have to ask us or hack WR's box to ban anyone from our loginserver. :p

[Talamr]

i am also havin some trouble downloading the new patcher... so hopefully the forums are fixed soon and all will be well=)

That will get you to the forums, check the technical section. Just ask your question there, you WILL get help.
