Title: Feb 15th, 2008 - Physical server box down; Fragnetics contacted.
Post by: Tyrania on February 14, 2008, 05:21:58 pm
Hello folks,

the server is crashing in a 5 to 10 minutes routine. it's not playable.
And now it's the best time to play for european ps'ler.

The server is at the moment very often crashing.

In the timezone GTM +1 it's every evening about 10 PM (22:00), and now about 04:50 PM (16:50) to 05:20 PM (17:20). and at 02:00 PM (14:00).

What's happen? And I know it's a technical pre alpha version. But client != server.


greetings

Wiping all that character and quest data seems to cause a lot of crashes... *cough* ...just kidding!

The server is just as much alpha as the client.

of course, but why suddenly the server crashes "today" so often?
the crash/reboot every day is understandable.

Code changes might be being implemented, data tables could be being updated, hard drive failure could be imminent, sunspots could be affecting the way electrons are flowing on the microprocessor. There are more possibilities than it is worth listing or talking about. When Talad or Venge or someone with access comes back on, they will see it happening and address it. Until then, patience...

The deal is that it's offline (the machine) and nobody is able to do anything about it right now. Worst case the machine has blown up. Best case is that it'll be up again and working perfectly fairly soon. The real case is probably somewhere in between :)

/me grins


My guess is the server a.k.a machine is mad at all you players because you keep making thank you Dev threads and no one ever thanks the machine. Poor server.

And Thank you for the server. Get well soon O--)

Although i realy regret the server is still down, I must bring my most sincere gratitude to the makers making this game possible. Wish I could program such things.  \\o//

Well, I got at least four days gaming experience now.

Server - are you ill or on strike? Or ist that the same when it comes to computers?  ::) Please be a good server and let us play again. Life's just not the same without you and your wonderful game.
Wouldn't it be nice if all magicians in Yliakum could cast a healing spell on you? I'm sure Luzino would gladly do just that.  ;)

the server is now since 8 hours in germany unreachable.

whats happend?
do you have no supporters for this server?

whats with this server: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=30041.0
why do you don't switch the server for a long time?

This is the result of "free" server in east asia... and no supporter in the direct near of the server :P

switch to german quality ;) and you will have no problems so far...

how about this does not happen often and very few ps devs have access to the people that host the server to find out what is going on, and again ps is not right now looking for other servers or other ways to host planeshift.

then PS AND the community must accept that this china-blah servers are "unuseable" / instable. and crashing often.

not ever it's the software that make problems, often it's the damn old hardware.


ps is a great game, and thats the point why i think it need newer hardware/server. and one member had got the admin a good server offer. why it would not accepted?

and since when have you seen the hardware on the machine running the server? Please dont make comments like this when you have no idea what you are talking about. and NO i will not reply to this thread again for that matter it should be locked as useless in solving this issue.

Post by: Tyrania on February 15, 2008, 04:08:12 pm
i know what i talk.

and the server has some things that are to "old" (e.g. the RAM, in the 21th century we use DDR 2 RAM, because it's faster and stable)
anyway, you are a great semi "sherif" Caarrie. wich threads get lock will rule a mod/admin.

greetings


PS: with locking discussion threads, it will be not solve problems. ;)

ah and a PS for the nice Caarrie: have a look to the "server" homepage (laanx.fracnetics.....) there stands the hardware - read, understand, post. :)

when more information is known, the appropriate people will respond.

locking thread, as the people that have the ability to respond to locked threads, are the only people that should be responding to this thread.

any more "why is the server down" threads will be removed on site.

at this time of writing, the server is physically down, and the team is waiting on contact from Fragnetics, who generously host the server for us.

if you are unable to have patience while this issue is looked into, please find a different game to play.

Small update; Laanx will be down at least another day while Fragnetics send someone to take a look at it. So don't stay up waiting for it, go read a book or run around outside ;)

For those who don't know, the PSU on Laanx burnt out taking the motherboard with it, so Fragnetics had to relocate the HDD's to another (similar) box.
