The Grand Creation, Gone?

[Talisan]

Does anyone know if The Grand Creation is gone for good? I started there as I read it was fairly popular and probably wouldn't disappear, but I've been waiting patiently (Or impatiently ^_~) for the server to come back for two days. Also their page, www.projecteq.com is down as well.

Otherwise, could someone recommend a server with the following qualities?
-As close to live as possible
.perhaps with some experience multiplier
.or faster regen of mana
-Has as much of the old quests in the game as possible
-PvE
-Most importantly isn't likely to vanish =)

PEQ will be back. Just having server issues.

[Talisan]

Thank you =)

Rumor on IRC is that they will not be back. They can not afford to run the server anymore and simply pulled the plug on everyone. I hope that is not true.

Edit: Something is going on with thier website. They either closed it entirely or it's sold but I'm not skilled enough to be able to tell what's up. Have a look.

Their domain is projecteq.net, not .com

Just seems like a server issue. There are some nasty ice storms that hit downing lines, and floods hopefully the server wasn't located in one of these locations. But beyond this it seems like the entire login/servers are going a little screwy recently as is.

yeah, my college got canceled today, and finals for monday got delayed (luckily I had none :D), but yeah, the ice storm was pretty bad, trees everywhere, and I mean on the ground, oh, and no power or heat, so they told us all we should go home :/, but PEQ went down like last week, but I guess maybe they got hit by that on top of being already down or the storm just reached me or something

Yeah I noticed that after my post and checking it.

Stop with your silly rumor. There is no money issue with PEQ.

[Talisan]

I've actually been checking the correct address:
http://www.projecteq.net/

=) But silly me typed it into the message wrong. Thanks all for the reassurance.

[Loeil]

This is normal that the web site is down when the server is down ... they are on same server.

Its not the first time PEQ go down for few days, check this post from september. http://eqemulator.net/forums/showthread.php?t=26172&page=1

And this quote from cavedude when the server was down in september, will answer to people who was thinking there a money issue about peq
We don't pay a dime, the machine is ours, and the bandwidth is free. We couldn't ask for a better deal, which is why I don't let downtime like this get me down too much.

[renoofturks1]

That issue in september I would like ot point out was the only time in the...4 years? that I have played PEQ that it has ever been down more than a day. Issues happen. We'll be back up as soon as possible.

Stop with your silly rumor. There is no money issue with PEQ.


Thanks for the trollish bullshit but as I said it's a "RUMOR" ..I'm not trying to start any rumor. WTF? Idiot.

[Savnok]

Thanks for the historical perspective though. That was actualy appreciated. 8-)

If you don't want to start a rumor, why spread it? PEQ will never be gone, it may very well outlive us =)

[Ikeren]

I heard a rumour that Cavedude and the Grand Creation Server box were abducted by aliens, and PEQ will never come back. Is this true?

I also heard a rumour that Jesus ascended them both (the computer and the person). How bout that? Is that true?

[hobbit25]

Hope it comes back soon, came back to EQ from a 6 year break and I hear this server is the best.

[Talisan]

I'm in the same boat, hobbit. I've been looking forward to the nostalgia value for a while =)

[Loanarn]

For those who haven't noticed yet the grand creation is back up. Hope to see you there soon!

[Tomahawkeer]

Its actually back down again. It went down for its morning reboot, came back up, and went down about 10 minutes later. They will eventually be back though im sure.

[Aena]

I see its a small world after all.. Tomahawkeer, Im located in Fairmont,WV as well. Dont know if I know you or not... use to play D&D in Fairmont and dragged another lost soul to this project. Anyways, PM me sometime..

Very cool, my entire family is from Fairmont WV as well. I'm the first generation raised outside of there in a long time lol (from georgia myself). But I've visited there quite a few times when I was younger and we still had family living there.

Any news or links to follow for PEQ status?

The guy that has access to the server is on vacation, so they can't do anything untill they get back

[kinerwen]
