I was playing earlier today then stopped to make a run somewhere. when i got back home i tried to log back on but message said server was not able to be contacted. I looked in the forums here but no one else posted any problems yet. am i the first to post or the only person with a problem.
-
i have the same problem but i was playing and it said the server was lost and it has been about an hour it said it would take five min i am just wondering when it will be back up
-
ah..
so im not the onlyone having connection probs...
just downloaded PS and tryd everything tu run it..
glad i\'m not to stuipid to get it runnin..
-
yeah, i got up today and tried to log in, and where it usually says the # ofgf ppl on the server, it says \"Fail\"
-
Hi, could a game master or something pls explain why server is down and why I get diagnostic errors and then after that it\'s a terminate program error its really annoying and should be fixed everytime I play planeshift I usually have to keep restarting the program untill it acctually loads my character right.. and it takes about 3-6 times..
-
I seem to have a similar arbitrary server problem, I updated it to about 57% when it just stopped, so I quit the updater and after that (When I used the updater later on) it no longer updated, in fact when I can\'t even connect to laanx, I get a gateway timeout or a 504 (When using a browser).
-
I am hoping that it might mean they are working on the next update hehe. That is often why the server goes down
-
i wish they would hurry its been hours. I really want to get back to battling it out with 500 people for 1 rat.
-
usually there are two reasons for the server going down for a longer than usual time:
1) they are working on an update
or..
2) something unexpected happened and they are trying to figure it out...
unfortunately both require patience, so might as well post a useless reply such as this one :)

I\'m bran new here. Havent even had a chance to register yet since the server is down.
Does this happen often??
-
Since i\'ve been playing yes not that often but like twice a month so far i think but usually they dont take long
-
Is any1 else having trouble getting to http://laanx.fragnetics.come?

platinum:/home/platyna$ ping laanx.fragnetics.com
PING laanx.fragnetics.com (203.81.47.91) 56(84) bytes of data.

Seems like network problems, no need to raise a big clamour over this issue,
so just calm down and wait until admins solve the problem, I believe they
surely wont hide it from you all when this happens.
Regards.

yes actually so am I .. worked fine this morning then shut down.. it\'s been like 5 hours.. can\'t even access the website.. it does however give one the opportunity to read old posts and get more aquired to the land.. and it\'s history. Hopefully nothing horrible has happened to the DM\'s.. I pray for a large update.. or just a sign from those in charge that they are safe and will land us on safe shores again soon.
-
thank you Platyna. will wait patiently for game to be back online.
*sits back and twiddles thumbs*

Wow, you people need to read the main page some more...
News! During the weekend we will perform some mainteinance on the PlaneShift server, so you will NOT be able to connect to it during the weekend. This will allow us to make some updates and deliver number of bug fixes.
Like it says, every weekend it shuts down to update, fix bugs, etc.
The update was just explaining that one week, but they actually close it down every weekend if you notice it\'s Saturday one week, Sunday the next stream.
(When I quoted that, I just realised that they have some spelling issues, lol)
-
why, for the love of GOD, would anyone choose to close it down on a weekend rather than a weekday?? I\'m just waiting to get in for the first time, so I\'m a bit unfamiliar with things so far, but is this primarily a game for people that are at work?? Is it really solitaire is disguise?? wtf?!? I\'ve never heard of anything this ridiculous in my life. And i\'m an american.
BLAAAAARG!
-
I had a good character in the temple region, I quit the game to eat dinner. Came back and it would load up, and then just sit there with the loading bar full. I figured out some of the files are corrupted (art located in the temple region) so I tried updating, it udates the files, says its complete, then does the same thing, plus every time I do the updater, it updates the same friggin files time and time again, how gay is that, and i will not uninstall.
TALK ABOUT A RUNON SENTENCE. Im to lazy to put periods in :D

Will it kill you to do something else for a while? Wake up, man. You have a free weekend to actually do something productive instead of staring at a computer screen. Go outside. Run a few laps. Maybe read something. Go hang out with friends.
This isn\'t the end of the world, so raising such a ridiculous amount of noise over this issue is just that - ridiculous.
As it has been stated many times before, the devs do this in their free time. Guess when they have more free time than usual?
You betcha!
-
I don\'t know about the others, but I checked the news for any information on there being a down time, and didn\'t see anything in the most recent past.
-
Any one live in Baltimore U.S.? I\'ll buy the first round.. we could do it everytime the server\'s down on the weekend! It\'d be alot better than getting frantic.. and yes we wouldn\'t be in front of the computer.. who\'s in?
-
ahhh karyuu i\'m just talking in a ridiculous and needless way. Truth of the matter is that I have a paper due on Thursday, so I can\'t help but do anything in order to procrastinate. This has proven to be helpful in my persuit of doing the paper at the last minute.
Being new here, I didn\'t konw that the dev\'s were voluntary. That is pretty cool actually.
-
actully yeah i don\'t see any info about the server being down either on the news.
-
I wonder if someone pressed the big red button?
I just downloaded this game this weekend, this is the most interesting start to a new game I have had yet.
....I think it\'s just an anticipation thing.
-
i dont know about anyone else but from 10 to 11 that is my time on the game every night, so the server was down ALL DAY is that not enough time to fix or update the game is make me soooo mad
-
is it possible that the server will never come back on? Sorry i just started.
-
In the case of Ragnarok, maybe ;) The server will be back! Everyone needs to stop worrying and busy themselves with something else in the meantime. Relax, folks.
-
Anything is possible. But It\'s not very likely. Just be patient, this is not the first time that this his happened, and the server has always come back up eventually. And you\'ve no right to be mad, Kevman, as you\'ve paid nothing for this game. If it works, great! If not, we wait. Adding to this thread will not make the server come back on any faster.
EDIT: oops, you beat me to it again, Karyuu.
-
im not worried, but i just got home from school (i live in aussie) and this would be the second time i play....... PLEASE WORK!!!
-
Unless you got some spiffy control over the supernatural and work with sigils and internet servitors, begging the server to come back on the forums isn\'t going to do it. Let\'s refrain from doing that, then.
-
i can beg all i want, its not like its hurting you.
has anyone heard any news about the server coming back on, or going off at all?
-
Sure you can beg all you want, but it just makes you seem annoying even when you know it won\'t do anything. :/
-
whats the big deal with begging, i didnt see it as a big deal at all. i didnt even mean it as a big thing
-
Therein lies the problem with posting on forums...you can\'t tell if someone means something or wether they are joking without them having to actually put in the post .
Begging is kind of a waste of time. I for one don\'t really want to read through post after post of someone saying they wish it would hurry up and come back on.
Anyways, I\'m sure the devs will get it up and running as soon as they can. Keep in that Planeshift is done in their spare time, not as a full-time job.
-
thats awesome, dont they get payed for it or anything?
-
lol, the games free, so no revinue there. Only money they would get is from donations, and that would most likely go back into Planeshift development. Count yourself lucky that you are able to play a game like this for free.
-
Yeah that is the whole idea of the game it\'s free because the devs do it for free, but it is kind of annoying when you download a new game want to start playing start updating the game and then the server shuts down, and the server is still down the next morning :( oh well I spose I\'ll go and do something else to kill some time
-
well as long as its up by the time im back from school all i fine as far as i see it. the devs do a great job.
(i suppose ill also be fine if its still down.)
-
I?m kind of happy the server is down for a little while this game is way too addictive to me and it gives me a chance to catch-up on things I?ve been putting off. RPGs make for wonderful procrastination.
Guys if you really can?t pull yourselves away from the system try some of the other stuff on the forum. The server will be back, well it always has in the past
-
Server seems to be down physically - it means machine or network it uses is
down. When that happens you cannot:
- Connect to the game (obviously).
- Visit http://laanx.fragnetics.com/
- Register an account.
You can:
- Wait.
- Browse forums.
- Browse the official website at http://www.planeshift.it/.
- Play some other game, there are numerous interesting games for Linux and
Windows, not necessary MMORPG or RPG. That\'s not a marriage, you don\'t
have to resign from playing other games while being a player of Planeshift.
Regards.
-
has anyone heard from the devs?
-
*checks his \"Special Edition Dev. Phone\"*
Nope, I haven\'t gotten a call. ;)
Anyways Jimmeh, if the devs think they need to post and/or have the time to post, then they will.
-
i meant more that had anyone seen something on the forums that i missed
-
if it helps ive heard nothing, but then im at school so i havent really heard much useful about anything today.
/me remebers what happened last time the server was donw and decides to shut up now.

it says go to http://laanx.fragnetics.com/ on one of the threads to see if server is online :)
last I heard ;)
-
The Devs should be happy about all the begging.
I mean the Devs should take it as a compliment that so many people are going crazy, about to commit suicide, because they can\'t play.
When this happens it means they\'ve succeded as game developers, and the game isn\'t even finished yet and already we have some Planeshift addicts.
I can\'t imagine how it\'ll be like when the game is finished.

Wait don\'t jump! You land in \"This is the where the Shallow Puddle that Will Make You Smell Somewhat Like Bananas for the Rest of Your Life\"!
Here, read this thread. It has all the secret cheat codes of PS hidden within it:

It will also tell you the Dev\'s secret hidden agenda to why the server is down, when the wipe will happen, and where to find the secret UberLeetSwordOfGMSlayageOMG!

hehe Drey . . .
Seriously, though, for anyone with nothing better to do than browse these forums because the server is down, I suggest spending some time in the RP forum. There are some amazingly good stories there, and enough to keep you occupied for days.
-
We are aware that the server has been down for a while now. Waiting on fragnetics for a report. This is not a planned downtime because I cannot even access the machine :).
-
the link to server page is back but shows players online when crash happened
-
the game is finaaly back up
-
IT JUST DIED AGAIN!!!!
