Server down 05/19/08

[Vorodot]

The server's been down for over an hour now. Any idea when it's coming back up?

Thanks

[steuben]

usually sometime after it goes down
when it does
soon(tm)

take your pick

[Raa]

Oh, shut up. It'll be up when it's up.

[Izzabella]

Raa is it really necessary to post so rudely? I mean he did ask nicely... If you can't respond nicely then maybe some of us just should not respond at all. I mean it scares away players and its just plain rude and shows no respect for anyone.


*eidit* You can watch this site for updates on the server being up.

I'm not being rude. I'm being blunt.

[Shadow1490]

Ahem... I think we're getting a little

Yes, but this only tells you if the server is up or down. I just thought that if the server is down for so long then probably somebody is updating something. It did give a message to check back in 5 min... :-) If something is being updated a note in the forums would have been nice, instead of having us sitting and waiting around clueless of what's going on.

Admin worldshouts: It is required to run a couple exhaustive queries on the database now. It will probably cause some (massive) lag. Please excuse the inconvenience.

I think it is only fair to ask. Once you have asked be patient,
and once you know what is going on ... be patient.

[Sometimes bluntness and rudeness may fall together]

thanks for the update Raa!

No one says you have wait around its summer go outside and get some fresh air and vitamin D! (which comes from the sunshine )

Is the server still down for everyone? I registered to play this afternoon and I would like to... You know.... Play?

[Hrothbert]

IN case you haven't noticed the server is up again and I assume this thread will be locked very shortly for that very reason.

No, it is not, it is just getting on peoples nerves because the answer is always the same. There are hundreds of threads telling someone who asked to be patient so read them.

You have a point there.
However if we are annoyed by questions always getting the same answers,
why not refrain from giving those answers instead of asking those questions?

I believe many people are curious, see the large numbers of views of such a thread
during longer downtimes. Not asking once after a certain time would be dishonest.

Not asking once after a certain time would be dishonest.

I'm pretty sure that the devs are aware that there are quite a few players out there who enjoy this game and are eager to play. We should show our interest in the game by discussing the game in the forum, by taking part in polls and by writing bug reports and suggestions for improvement. We shouldn't express it by annoying devs with question such as "when will it be up" or "when will it be ready". The only answer you will receive to these kind of questions is: Soon(TM).
