Doh! Now the laanx server is down again. Even the laanx news page isn\'t responding.

Hmm, maybe that\'s a sign of progress? Some guy in Singapore just turned on/enabled the server (that\'s my guess) and now he decided to turn it off again..?

It seems there is soemthign wrong with the server itself- perhaps bad hardware, but in this last restart all that was turned on was the websrver, and it still crashed after a few minutes. Chrischoo and others at Fragnetics should be looking into what\'s wrong with it...
Hopefully there will be a good answer soon  ;(

Yaaah... I just recently downloaded the game and haven\'t been able to play it from the downtime. :/ I hope it\'s fixed by tomorrow.

Yes, it is a concern that the server has failed twice in the last week or so.  But in the end we get what we pay for.  We have recieved excellent support from the Fragnetics team but, to be honest, we are not in a position to demand anything.  I\'m sure if they are experiencing any troubles over there paying customers have first :)

Is there anyone who have been assigned the task of keeping relations between the PlaneShift community and FragNetics? If so, I suggest that person try to get in touch with them and at least ask what\'s up.

Don\'t you just hate those MMORPG abstinences, though? :\\

odd2k, i think that if there was someway of contacting them other then just e-mail, they would have done that by now, its just a matter of putting it on the forum if they have heard anything.

To all concerned... everyone.

1.  Acraig is correct.  We have space donated.  Now if any of yous wish to donate a high end mirror there may be talk...  I don\'t know.

2.  We get this game for FREE!!!!!  So the fact that it is down should not bother us too much.  Now if you were paying $15 a month complain all you want.  I am content that we have the ability to play for free.

3.  The suggestions/questions I have posed I meant to help the problem.  As well to gain further knowledge.  If you have any pointers please post them as the staff may not know/have thought of your idea.  I am glad to know that there are things being done.  I am sure that as soon as staff knows what is going on they will tell us.

4.  Why not keep stories going on in the forums... I remeber a day when we did this without graphics and when the grapics came we just moved over... do it as the characters will be deleted soon we can all just smile, thank everyone working on it and keep the story going so we can pick up without the levels... If I am wrong on this point please tell me someone.

5.  I just spent the last 4 hours beating people up like this Belegarth style.  It was awsome.  I got to live the game IRL!!!!  So if you want to play, put some camping foam on PVC and beat your neighbor with it.  As well I love to get out when my computer does not work.  I find that I have fun and loose weight.

6.  What are some suggestions that we have to prevent this again... please let the Staff know.

7.  If we all try to construct good solutions to all problems we face as a community they may be prevented in the future.


If I have overstepped bounds please forgive me as I had to put a Ranger in Training and a squire in their place tonight.  I do realize I may be venting here, but I believe I have a valid point to all of this.

Hey All,

I don\'t know if this will help anyone in this server crash or in any furure ones, but about ten minutes before the server crashed I had a warning that there was some virus/trojan on the server. I can\'t give anymore detail as I had been afk making a cup of tea, and just had a quick glimpse of it as I sat back down. Whatever it was it disconnected me from the server. I logged back on and played for about ten minutes when the server failed.

Don\'t know if it helps but I thought I would relate this just in case it can.

well the devs have the email of server provider, who will very kindly run on down and check things out when he has the time.
