Title: March 31st, 2012 Downtime
Post by: Ry60003333 on April 01, 2012, 02:14:32 PM
As many of you probably noticed, the entire website and game went down on March 31st 2012 somewhere after 12 PM EST. This was due to a complete DSL outage in my area, so I had no internet until today afternoon, and since the website and login server are run from my house, nothing worked. :P However, everything has been repaired and is now working properly again, and we are seeing if it would be possible to move the forums and login server to a dedicated VPS to avoid this issue in the future. Enjoy the game!

Talked to Kevin on skype about this. He said that if you put it to a dedicated VPS then you'd have to move all the character files.

Logs:
[3/31/2012 10:36:19 PM] Recoil: have you heard from ryan?
[3/31/2012 10:36:49 PM] Kevin: Not recently
[3/31/2012 10:38:20 PM] Recoil: people are freaking out about the server and site lol.. is there a reason he just doesn't get server hosting
[3/31/2012 10:38:46 PM] Kevin: The Server is on a VPS
[3/31/2012 10:39:14 PM] Kevin: but, if he had the website and the login server on the VPS, we would have to move all 30,000 character files
[3/31/2012 10:39:22 PM] Kevin: along with ~200,000 classic accounts
[3/31/2012 10:39:26 PM] Kevin: the entire staff site
[3/31/2012 10:39:35 PM] Kevin: then we would have to move our Database all to this VPS
[3/31/2012 10:39:46 PM] Kevin: It's way easier for it to be ran from his house
[3/31/2012 10:41:44 PM] Recoil: ahh ok

Idk in my opinion just doesn't seem worth it.
