[Chaos5tw]

Someone shine the friggin CaveDudeSignal!!! The chaos is about to ensue.

[mminor]

very sad face

[mmyles]

*sigh* there goes my lunch break plat farming...

[shalll]

What the..........

1999 gets legends status, and peq goes missing.

I think there is more behind this then you think.

Peq has ruined its mossylog faction.

[syler]

I just can't take it any more!! lol pulling hair out now! any one have any clues on how long this is gonna take?

[mminor]

Shalll is right, PEQ is missing and 1999 is now Legends. I just started back 4 months ago and I'm not just going to start over again. Goodbye eq untill PEQ comes back.

[syler]

there is no Projecteq.net any more ether so you just might be right about something seriously being wrong.

[Chaos5tw]

Back to WoW for me~

[syler]

going on 12 hours down now.... this sucks ass

[mminor]

Back to WoW for me~

I think I just might try WOW now. Why start a different server here?, so it can disappear again, with all your hard work and time.

[syler]

I will definatly be playing WoW if the server does not come back I have it ready to load on my comp right now. have buddies that play I just wanted to play some good ol' evercrack!

Good lord, quit your whining, its free. It will be back soon enough. People have real lives.

i just went on p1999 to see what they say, the makers of PEQ are moving to 1999. So no warning us, so we can waste more of our time lvling and GONE! So they want PEQ players to join so they can DISAPPEARE again! Fck this, better to pay to play. That way you know your hard work just doesn't dissapear.

It's gone dude. Trust me I went on 1999 and asked, makers are joining them.

[syler]

real lives??? whats that???

[mrbrande]

BS, some noobs in ooc tricked you.

[bufferofnewbies]

edit: nm. I thought it was Rog that made the server. Disregard all you though i said.

[ghostriderdoom]

PEQ is over 4 years old. Dont worry all, it will be back soon enough. Once in a great while there is tech difficulty. Cave Dude codes more stuff advancing the sever every week, do you really think he would waste 4 + years of his life to just say screw it lol. Just chill, im sure CD will reply with whats goign on soon

[mmyles]

the website itself was acting really slow last night... perhaps they are having ISP issues?

[Secrets]

It's gone dude. Trust me I went on 1999 and asked, makers are joining them.

LOL? You have no idea what you are talking about, and if I had mod powers i'd get rid of you. PEQ is what drives most of the people in this project to keep going, and without them, I don't think KLS, So_1337, cavedude, or any other of the active people on PEQ would even consider working on this project.

PEQ is probably having server issues like they normally do sometimes. Calm the fuck down.

I can't calm down I left work 3 hours early thining I would play LOL

[Timaeus]

The problem is that without any word people look elswhere for answers an usually come up with the wrong ones. I got upset this summer when the server went down for a week. 1 Day off from PEQ won't kill anyone. Hell I'll be working on my project tomorrow rebuilding the engine on my tractor. A little time off doesn't hurt anyone. Hopefully it will be back up real soon. If it takes a week I'll be greatly disappointed, hell even mad as hell since the other servers suck but I'll live and so will all of you.

Give CD time to take care of his RL issues and the server. Save the overreacting for later if it's still down after 7-14 days.

[syler]

well said timaeus. I got a bunch of shit done that needed to be done for days now lol. ya I want the server to come back up dont get me wrong.

[KLS]

A switch died at the host, no eta atm.

[classicgmr]

That's when it should click in your head - "I may have a problem here." I've been playing EverQuest since 2001 and in 2003 I began raiding hardcore and started doing this. Took me about 3 weeks to realize that I was killing my own credibility, job status and my cash flow over "the game in the box on my desk".

I have been here what - a week or so? - and I figured out that the server went down. All it took was some rational thought. These are personal servers after all.

When the server died at 8:30 and was still down at 9:30 I went to something else... like most rational people I assume. :)

My $0.02 to the hard workers here! Thank you for everything you all do to give us a place to play and enjoy our free time!

[LC2503]

Maybe CD upgrading server and fix some huge pile of bugs.
I'm moving to EZ for a while :)

[Burningsoul]

/agree Classicgmr. You guys need to take Secrets advise and CALM DOWN. If anything your ranting will make the devs even more annoyed. It's a freaking game, if you need your fix go download the Repack and play on your own server to pass the time.

[cavedude]

As KLS said above:


<FatherNitwit> FYI cavedude/KLS/anybody else who cares... current suspicion is that the switch PEQ plugs into has died.
<FatherNitwit> should get fixed tomorrow

[cavedude]

I'm going to ban you for 7 days for spreading lies. Cause, that's complete bullshit.

[syler]

well said!

[arkhamcifre]

You are correct Gristle..I imagine Cavedude does have a real life. The only thing I would like to see is some short note here maybe that he knows the server is down, etc. Otherwise it does leave a lot of room for people to begin the conspiracy chatter about Project1999 and the disappearence of projecteq.net and all of that. I would imagine that Cavedude and Rogean are in regular contact also so maybe a short not by Rogean saying "Don't Panic" and to get our towels would help the situation. Alot of people including myself have invested alot of time in PEQ and just want a recognition that we are being heard. Fear and uncertainty are powerful. All the thanks in the world to Cavedude for the work he has done already...but hen you feed the junkies you gotta expect them to get crazy when you cold turkey the Evercrack.

[arkhamcifre]

OK...I'm retarded or blind. I just saw that Cavedude has posted so let me get my pipe ready for some good ol' evercr...quest.

[rixardion]

Hey just logged in to see if there was any news. Thanks for the update KLS. Thanks cavedude.

[NoRefund420]

does this happen often or has it even happened befor? :confused:

[PearlJammzz]

Thanks for the update. I had some friends call me earlier about it, but I had no idea (been WAY too busy w/ work, and school today to play). Glad to see it's just a switch :).

Thanks for all the hard work you guys put into this free server. hands down the best free server I have ever played on! I'll be checking the server status page, and this thread for updates :cool:

[shalll]

Last i remember peq had a issue about a year ago, took a couple of days and CD had all things fixed and running very smooth for a long time.

[ghostriderdoom]

does this happen often or has it even happened befor? :confused:

Just like anything that has computer equipment, hardware fails, nothing lasts forever. The server actually upgraded this year, it has brand new equipment.

[cheff]

Thank you for the update CaveDude. I was kinda wondering what happen. I really enjoy PEQ, thank you for your commitment to excellence.

[Bruttus]

Good luck fnw and cavedude and thanks for all your hard work, see you in game !!

[bufferofnewbies]

I'm going to ... spread ... bullshit.

There we go, now it's farmer cavedude!
How's it going old man? Long time no see. :)

[NoPulse]

I must say..when I first looked into private servers I never expected to find one so advanced and ironed out as PEQ was. I started on live back in 2000 and fell in love with Everquest. Nothing has ever been as joyous a game and none have even come close. Over time Everquest lost that special feel to it and I was left feeling empty. My fiance and I had played for years together and unfortunately oct 16 2007, she passed away in a car accident. I eventually logged onto her char and cried like a baby for days. We had just gotten her necro epic maybe a month before and she was so proud of that thing that the second I saw it I turned to mush lol. Anyways, what I'm trying to say, is that PEQ has given me that special feeling about Everquest again and I don't know how to thank you enough.. I would like to start donating on a regular basis and do anything I can to help out and become a part of this community. The people are so helpful and amazing to work with, and I feel so deeply indebted to the amazing work cave dude and his team have put into this server. To hell with therapy..every time I log on and see my chars (which I named the same as on live) I smile inside and get that special feeling again.. Thank You!

Sad really, after I donated a fair amount. Well atleast it wasn't my main account.

[syler]

[mmyles]

We're back up.

It gets a little old when every time we go down 1-2 people spread the same rumor. I personally thought it a bit harsh, but yesterday was definitely not a good day to get on Cavedude's bad side... He was saltier than a clam.
