Server down and unresponsive, 2008-03-25

[Mythryndel]

I know that I am getting frustrated like a lot of people with the current server outage. I am confident that the issue is being resolved, but I would appreciate it if there was a little more information about what is going on and if there is an ETA to getting it fixed.

Is there anything that I can do to help resolve this issue? Is there hardware that is not responding? Is there software that is not functioning properly? I am an experienced Linux systems administrator and I have a closet full of spare (not new or state-of-the-art) parts if i can be of any assistance in getting this game back up and running.

its hard to give out an ETA when we don't have one, the server is not responding to remote login so a technician has had to be called out and until he gives us info we cant pass it on

Thanks for the update. Again, if i can be of any assistance, please let me know. If there is someone I can talk to about being involved with this project long-term in some capacity, feel free to pass my name along. I can provide an e-mail address and credentials if desired.

Bad news I'm afraid

I looked over the page for "Join the Team". I noticed lots of openings, but I don't know that I fit into any of them. I am also a programmer, but am not free to program for the project because of the no compete contract I have with my current employer. I am, however, free to offer my Linux system administration, system maintenance automation, and security services to the project. Which link should I click?

Mord..was that today?

Mythryndel , I'd say probably your best bet would be to email Talad about it, and he'd be able to give you the best advise. 

Just keep in mind that he's a bit busy with things, so it may take a little while for him to respond.  This is a hobby project after all, and real life issues always come first.  I'm sure you probably already understand that anyways. 

[Mythryndel]

ok... doing that now.

yes... i looked at the page today.
