Either you do not know much about computers or you leap to conclusions. To wit:

First of all, a system being reset but not coming backup after a crash is not unusual, even without changes to the system. You either do not know this or chose to ignore it as you originally took a possible failed reboot as much more than just an inference of changes, but instead as fact, as shown by:

So ultimately, either you do not know enough about computers, or, even with the appropriate knowledge of computers, you are choosing to ignore that and pick a single possible cause and attack the developers over that possibility.

That was more of a joke than anything. I dunno why you would get mad at that.

any clue if they fed the hampstetrs?

phinny is a 12 hour spawn

So any news on when its gonna be back up? I saw something about hopefully Tuesday, but haven't seen anything lately

I know cavedude was going to be back today. But no specific time was specified. So far, I have not heard from him, so I have no new information regarding the server.

k
 

ok, thx a lot Gaeorn! I have just recently got my account back up and running and needed the crack....lol:D

100 % of us are upset we can't play, but 99.9% of us aren't in a tizzy over it and realize "shit happens." It will be fixed soon and we will be playing soon. Don't let the 0.1% get you down, Big-G and the other admins. The rest of us appreciate you taking the time to keep us updated.

The other 0.1% should start their own server and check back with us in a year or two and compare notes about how often the server randomly crashes or hardware fails after running for 24/7 over that timeframe.

Thanks Gaeorn for keeping us as up to date as you can with what is happening with PEQ. :)

Would be nice if those of us that just want to know what is happening didn't have to wade through 12 pages of the same arguments from the last time PEQ was down .....

See sig :)

I'm just sorry I don't have more information at this point. I'm still waiting on word from cavedude.

The number of rage posts are relative to forum join date. This is only the first or second time it's happened for all these 2010 join date people such as the above poster. For others, it's like the 6th time and people have flashbacks of when the server disappeared for over a month with no eta. OMG? WTF? OMG? posts are inevitable.

Let's quit ripping the people that bust ass to bring us a free server. I wish I knew coding to help because I just can't afford to donate cash. If I had any, I would. All our toons will still be there and we will all get back to grinding and slaughtering soon enough.

All that being said....aggghhhh someone fix the server I'm having withdrawals!!!! Call in the National Guard, Call in the Army, Navy...Call em ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to your regularly scheduled bitching :-D

So yeah, I'm gonna be deleting some posts here. Knock off the negative, self-entitled attitudes.

PEQ will be up when it's back up. Please be patient.

... or we will hire ninjas to loot all your goodies while you are sleeping.

I'll corrupt the ninja's...









heap.

update?
 

any new updates?

I still have not heard from cavedude. It appears something must have delayed him.

Thanks Gaeorn... for keep us updated.

BTW are we getting close to the record of longest PEQ down time ever ? :D almost a full week now, remember it had a 2 week downtime before? hehe.. why was that?

Not really.



Lets all love everyone!

Mourning
 

Still down today. I'm not complaining, honestly. I have barely an idea what the issues are. I'm just in mourning. :-(
My fondest wish is that some powerful cleric will resurrect the poor thing.

As for donations, of course it's legit for Cavedude to get some help. I just feel like a heel because my work is so sporadic lately. Hey, I'm playing for free! When I can, if I kick in and the server works, That's Great! If everyone kicks in and the server works AND the PEQ team has some left over for free coffee, Still Great! What business is it of mine. I'll still be happy saving Norath from the undead. :-D

BTW, the http://projecteq.net/ site is also down. Is it the same reason that the game server is down? I take it both are hosted on the same hardware?

You've been Ninja Buffed : +5 Patience :-)

Yes they are on the same hardware. So you can check the site if u wanna know if its up :)

site will most likely be up before server tho

Correct.



God I want some kentucky fried chicken

The donations are for the hardware for new servers. Browse through the thread, you'll find plenty of detail regarding what hardware is needed and why it is needed. It will help us as much if not more than the devs as it will reduce down times like this drastically.

I'd be thrilled to know that some was left for the devs to pocket. They got to be spending a ton of their personal time with the code to make eqemu what it is today.

Just a reminder to those that have not read one of my earlier posts. I'm matching donations dollar for dollar for the next couple of weeks. Incentive to donate sooner rather than later if you can.

On an unrelated note...

Mafia II - Content Quality is awesome. Amount of content sucks balls. I spent about 15 hours and i'm done with it. All thats left is going back and doing it again on a harder lvl and unlocking achievements like collecting wanted posters and playboy centerfolds and other minor things. Definitely didn't get my money's worth out of it :mad:

Star Craft II - WOOHOO! I'm loving it, it's awesome :-D

I just read it in the hopes of actually finding some actual news about when the server is going to come up.

A Second Heartfelt Amen from me as well.

Lol that has to be the worst company name/slogan I have ever seen. I would probably just sleep in my car.

eq players are like fish in a tank... if food runs short they start eating each other...

Shenanigans!!

I blame reno. Also, I miss you peq. Life is good.

edit: unbanned the two that were causing noise.
I do not want the negativity in this thread; We know as much as you do as to when cavedude will be back.

I also know we're possibly switching to new hardware for PEQ, but that's going to be up to cavedude when he gets back.

Thanks for your patience.

Time to pony up with donations
 

Money is very tight right now but . To me this is important I am gonna donate $10 for each of my characters on the server to help move this thing along to getting our new Servers . I challenge all of you who have not yet donated to do the same . This is our server as well we need to take responsibility just like the Dev's do to keep it running . Since I don't code I will donate . How about the rest of you ?

We'll probably bring up a temporary server until we can get this sorted out. Though we don't have a character backup so it would probably just be a special ruleset with peq db or something...

I will challenge you to a duel to the life.


What seems to be the officer problem anyway ? thought CD would be back tuesday.

Yeah I thought that too. Clearly he's been held up somewhere.

cavedude is back. I have just barely started speaking to him. I'm sure he will post an update when there is more information available.

Now, Y'all lay off of them for at Least a few hours & give CD a chance to look it over.

Yeah he's back, thankfully, I didn't want to have to deal with merging characters from a temp server anyway.

no news ? :(

We're working on getting the data off the old server. Basically only thing holding us back atm.
