to be honest im starting to wonder if server isnt dead for good or characters all lost or something... cave hasnt posted an update and its been well well over 2 hours.....

LOL, have patience. How long have you been on PEQ? I am guessing not long if you have so little faith :P

servers still down :( *hangs himself*

faith is for the christians for one mate, and for two iv been playing long enough

Cavedude has never let me down. He won't let you down either.

Except that one time, in band camp.

this is really a long-lasting wait..

i can't ping the server so i assume its down .... again

been almost 10 hours lol any ideas on whats goin on

I was hoping the server may be back on its feet by the time I got home from work :(

Go go gadget cavedude

You think we have it bad, I can only imagine what cavedude is going through right now.

whats going on cavedude?

Giant kick in the ass that was last night, I'm sorry guys. The server was up for 35 minutes and then went down again. At this point, even I am a bit angry. I was hoping it would have been up before I left for work, and here on my lunch it still appears down. No word from the ISP yet, though I suspect they are still having temperature control problems.

That's a pain in the arse. So they won't even give you an ETA at this point I would guess. (not that their previous ETAs they've given you were reliable)

you would think they could give Cave Dude at least another appoximate time they think it will be back at least to ease the server owners mind

In a perfect world yes, but remember that he told us it's his server, not theirs and it's free web space so I don't know if they actually get anything out of the deal.

Considering they host our box free of charge, I am betting they are spending their time discussing the issue with the people that are paying for their bandwith. It's a good deal for us, let's not be knocking it.

Yep, that's exactly right. And, we're not just talking spare bandwidth, we're talking about bandwidth people pay hundreds of dollars a month for. I've downloaded daily dumps at 1.8 MBps from PEQ. (that's megabytes, not bits!) I'm a bit upset that we were up for 35 minutes and then back down again, but for free, the bandwidth involved, and the fact that other than times like this we have 100% uptime I cannot complain at all.

Indeed, I say sit it out, call out of work less often and sleep longer during these times.

What a good deal u have for this server CD, with a deal like that hopefully PEQ will be around for your kids to run it :) and then my kids can enjoy it as well


Keep up the good work

so this could go on for days or are they getting close to the problem?

Since we came up briefly last night, I would assume they are close.

Sorry trevius if I was offensive - certainly all in jest on my part. One of the posters here is a good friend and hardcore leftist so I just threw in a couple of welfare jokes - absolutely nothing racist intended by that.

Looking forward to seeing things up, Cavedude! Chomping at the bit here for tomorrow night ... :)

ohh my im thinking of going to live free for a month how sad am i lol

Here's hoping they get those heat issues worked out. Missin' ya PEQ.

LOL. I sorta gotta message that live would be doing another free month. are they?

An up server that melts isn't going to do anyone any good. If this is in a server farm there are NO fans on the cpu's and if power outages backup power limitations are a problem then nothing much can be done.

I went on a vacation and was looking forward to playing PEQ on my return. I guess no such luck :(
May you have a speedy recovery!

Thinking if paying 5 USD per account will be helpful to PEQ? Wondering what is the average donation on PEQ monthly....

Wow, I dont remember ever seeing PEQ down this long. Hope it comes back soon, im tired of working instead!

we will prob be getting an update soon i hope anyway

Anyone down for a party in PoK when the server comes back up?

well, one things clear -.- someone with power hates eq

Indeed my fellow PEQer, indeed.

quistion is what the piss are we suposed to whilest we wait.. tbh no other server even comes close! sigh -.-

well.. i've been playing in Zeb custom server and trying to get myself an epic 2.0 LOL......

actually i'm going to get booed by a lot of PEQ fans here (i'm a PEQer too), but Zeb has done quite a good work on this one chain quest involving you (and a friend or two) going thru the planar progression and seeing all the contents that you may have missed, including battling one on one with sol ro, terris thule, MB, and quarm lol..


/breathes in..............


i want my PEQ back ..... :(

No word as of yet huh Cave Dude ? .............. :(

i made a char on Zeb and one on Storm Haven but.. imho nothing beats the PEQ server.. why ? well its simple PEQ is everquest no more no less in my eyes :P and after not playing EQ for 3years+ when i came to PEQ with all my nubby quistions ^.^ noone complained infact 30% of the people even offerd me free armor /weps!! you can not beat such a great server with a grand community like it has built up.. you just cant!... >.> and on a side note THE ONLY good thing thats come of PEQ being down is me having the time to go get laid ROFL!

damn still no word hope we get an update soon and as for other servers, dont wanna piss people off but they suck lol

Face it, valic007 - we're spoiled! The only EQ experience I've enjoyed more overall was real EQ before the Velious expansion came out (at least before Luclin). PEQ rocks.

My gaming buddies and I are trying to figure out what we're gonna do tonight for our weekly gaming. Guess it's back to old Neverwinter for a bit!
