PEQ server has been down for 4 and half hours

If they needed money to stay afloat i am sure they would have asked for it. For a rented server it would be what 25 a month? At least that is how much it cost for one when I was working on the dawn of light DAoC emulator which was enough to support 200 easily (any higher and the memory leak server code had would reach system cap which was 1.5 gb and crash).

At that price everyone donate 50 cents a month and we are easily in business. If in all honesty it is a money issue let me know and i am sure many will throw you some bones.

yes, if there is any need of monetary units, all PEQ has to do is ask. there is multiple people on the server that is very willing to donate. later Avilard

Last I checked the server was a donated box. Also I'm sure CD would mention it to everyone if it weren't coming back.

the only thing that i can see killing PEQ with the highly dedicated people that are running it is a C&D from the big evil whose name i shall not mention.

have seen the population top 200 a few times here lately, but even that shouldnt be enough to garner attention from them would it?

PEQ and the whole EMU probably get attention from them. However, a few things keep them from shutting the EMU down.
1) We do not give the client away
2) We do not edit the client (well excluding spell lists)
3) Would not be cost effective for them to truly stop a project like this one because it is worldwide and has countless individuals contributing. Essentially if they shut this site down we could just start up another.

I am certain this EMU gets their attention heck just look at Mercs compared to bots.

Back on topic, I am not worried about PEQ. It has had some down time in the past but always comes back. They keep backups and such so if need be most of the project can be ported to another box at a different location. Though the backup/restore is probably a last resort.

ISP fixed!

I assume you mean your server is back up and not PEQ which is the topic since their website is still down as far as i can tell.

Yeah me too im missing PEQ, but now i found time to clean my mess and make my Xmass Tree

PEQ is not gone. I doubt it will ever be gone. It runs on a donated machine, on donated bandwith. Cost has nothing to do with it. It will be back up as soon as possible, I doubt PEQ will ever be gone.
