Haha. Just as I thought.

Third circle of the Nine Hells. Malbolgia's realm, otherwise known as New Jersey.

Ah. I'd rather slash my wrists than drive in Jersey.

Guys, can we start talking about the database? If it was an abrupt outtage like that, probably the database got fried too. How often do they take backups? Days?

The damaged equipment does not appear to be the severs themselves (assuming they are hosted on more than one physical box). The damaged equipment is on the network side. What this looked like to the servers was everyone losing their internet connection at precisely the same moment. The database would have processed the last transactions received, then simply saw no more after that.

I think LOTRO people consists primarily of well-adjusted adults with families.

So were the Bagginses of Hobbiton.

And we all know how that ended up.

You think they are going to pay someone 3x pay to come in and fix this? They call giving subscribers random dice rolls for digital objects that cost them nothing fiscally irresponsible.

The whole "working through the night" was a bit um, eccentric, definitely.

Oh dang, I forgot Cheerios. I'll work for them too, not the plain though, only honey! I have standards ya know.

 

[Sarandra]

LOL.
Some of it actually might as they seem to have had a power spike frying parts of network equipment. Say an entire rack of Cisco access routers.
[...]

A good data center should have circuit breakers for spikes. I'm saying should, and also it is possible that these breakers malfunction.

 

[Fangfa2]

Is there ETA of ETA?

 

[liosliante]

It is very obvious that people are reaching a point of anger, insults and discomfort.
Today I don't think they will find the solution.

[Elminster]

Once again, there is noone at the office, noone at the New Jersey server farm, and Cord's typing everything out on his iphone while greeting friends and family and having brunch.

Go out and touch more grass.
