PEQ is down again ??
 

What happend with PEQ server ?? later the reset dont get up. Someone knows about this ??

Before the reset happened, it kept saying something like "world server disconnect" when you tried to send tells to people and server was really laggy and you crashed when you zoned. Server reset at it's normal time then came back up then went down about 10-20 minutes later.

Seems PEQ has crashed again today ..... :(

It was buggy prior to reset - pets running off in weird directions and bringing nasty friends back to vist the group....

and has not been back up since. :((

The web site is also down.

Poor, poor PEQ..
 

Site is still down, no luck with the server.

WTB a fix.

Seems it is still down. I'm guessing the PEQ support hasn't been awake long to identify and fix the problem.

We have a message in to FNW, and he'll probably request another reboot.

I'm not going to be around until Tuesday, so please don't worry when I stop replying :P My hope is we're back up well before then.

Maybe this will inspire more donations so that cavedude can setup the new hardware and have complete remote management control over the servers.

I sure hope the reboot brings it back online.

well..
 

not ballin.

semi ballin.


Earn baller status with server! *Victory Fanfare*

{cue Twilight Zone music}
Perhaps these downtimes are intentional as a means to help drive... donations.

I'm curious - how does this work? The server belongs to a hosting company? And they can't respond to the issue?


Thanks

Read this thread: http://www.eqemulator.org/forums/showthread.php?t=31782

The quick version is this:

Cavedude lives in NJ
The server is in CO
Cavedude runs all the software
The guy who owns the hardware is the only person with access to it

So when the hardware needs some loving, Cavedude has to get in touch with him, then the guy has to get a hold of the hosting company, etc, etc, etc.

That thread posted above also lists what Cavedude wants to do with purchasing a new server etc. (they need donations to do this though).

Good info, thanks Ikeren and r8n8

I've watched this a lot, usually when some server I'm trying to connect to is down...

The Website (Server PEQ) is Down

post of the day award goes to war_master11!

quote of the day award goes to me!

Don't think I've ever seen a windows box with the problem of "the server didn't reboot correctly" but we seem to have that problem on this server and in that joke video running apache you posted o_O

hahahahaha

well, I worked hard on some macros, pretty ballin if you ask me...

anyone work hard on anything else?

work hard on anything?

I hardly worked on anything, does that count?

Seriously though, I spent the day combing through the MQ2 Wiki and taking notes. I don't think I ever put this much effort into my schooling...

Maybe I'll spend the night writing a macro for a male gnome and have him hang around the MB spewing cheesy pickup lines at any female characters who dare venture too close to him. And if they don't, have him hold a conversation with his imaginary friend, Horatio, about who would win in a fight, the Priest of Discord or Phin Esrinap. Then, if nobody comes near him, have him pace in a square declaring all the space within as his "personal space" and that any invaders will be smitten with the wrath of Rikki Tikki the Holy Gerbil and guardian of the Windmills.

Or I'll just go to bed.

lol i heard you wouldnt =P

Cavedude's call to FNW leaked, problems exposed... well not really.

Any of these 500 weird asian mmorpgs worth playing while server is down?

no clue lol

If you've got a Titanium client you could try EZ server. That's where I'll be for the downtime. Or you could try any one of the other emu servers.

Might be because no Windows server could take a 350 toon load and PEQ is the test bed server for both the DB and Emu code, thus the reason it reboots nightly to load new versions of both.

I'm trying the EZ server & it lives up to its name, REAL easy. Sort of like having a GF with a twin sister who is eager to have everything her sis has without letting her know. Made from baby Rogue lvl 1 to lvl 36 in 6 hrs play with Real high combat & sneak/hide skills. Might be good to run around learning where most things are.

This statement is false. There have been windows based eqemu servers with over 300 players online before. It was running two quad core 1.8ghz cpu's. The cpu load on the server was next to nothing and could hold tons more players. Every time I research some outrageous linux claim, it always turns out to be false. Like how people used to say it's better for laptops then people actually measure winblows vs linux distro power consumption and windows won rofl.

EZ Server is Windows based.

All I know is that SoA used to be windows based, and we would crash the server AE pulling. When they switched it to Linux, that pretty much stopped.

Day 2 of yet another epic peq phailure.

/scratches

I need mah crack!

&& in case you havn't noticed, each time the server goes down we are losing more players to other servers, like the EZ server(!!!?) and worse yet, p1999 :shock: .. Sadly I can even name a few people that are gone for good..

I understand to you this may be an important time to ask for donates, but you said yourself the current set up is already more than enough for now.
Why so much downtime and so frequent? There are other servers out there with far less equipment and bandwidth and yet they have longer up times, some only reset once a week, if that, and with roughly the same player load.

I'm not knocking the need for new server upgrades by any means, I'm just wondering how or why PEQ seems to have poor reliability with its current set up, or rather if the problem is the ISP/Host, why continue to subscribe to their services if they are so incompetent. :oops:

It seems to me that your answer lies in the front pages of this thread. However let me clarify.. First of PEQ is free to play.. secondly Cavedude is footin the bill.. if you are concerned with the players leaving and the sky falling down then by all means donate otherwise buck up lil camper..

It's outta cavedude's hands anyway, our only hope is that this FNW guy isn't passed out in a ditch with a bottle of jack daniels.

You do know that prior to these outages, the server itself had an uptime of 480+ days? Get a bit of perspective.

wrong....
 

you must be smoking some good shit or have a time traveling watch or something... the server went DOWN for 4 or 5 days like 2-3 weeks ago....... so, unless a year has went by and i dont know about it, the server was only up for at most 21 days.

well i see what youre saying now, but still, 480 days is a whole lot better than a 4/21 ratio.

He is talking about PRIOR to the last outage, this present one as well as the last one is included in his "these outages" statement.

For all the people who might be leaving, we are certainly picking up new people. I saw quite a few evenings recently where the population was stable at 300+ people and one day two weeks when Fandaane was leading an MGB-fest, there were 352 people on as I was loading an alt in.

thank you for clarifying something i have already clarified myself.
