DDO unavailable: Saturday March 30th

Ah it's nice to see people getting along again. Wouldn't be surprised if the servers were back up by lunchtime either now that someone is actually going to be working on the problem. It's gonna be a good day!

SHUTUPPA YO FACE! YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!

So everybody will lag all the time and people would lose all their astral shards, guild airships and names.
Sounds great to me.

And pets, mounts and the bonus of a buggy Monster Manual! It's teh uber!

 

[Ahser]

I just hope there won't be a rollback, other than that I'll live xd

 

[avacdavison]

Looks like progress - my launchers have news feeds now! I'll take progress.

I burned through this on day 1 of the server crash.
On day 2 I burned through most of Warrior.
Hopefully by the time the server is up I will have finished Warrior and can get back to the game.

Warrior is what I was watching while reading forums, too! Lol not a bad show

Refined a bit of silliness I did before. It's not a full parody cause I don't feel like going to the trouble for that, but I find it amusing. It's the tune of Fire and Rain, by James Taylor

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen Shin-To-Kors that I thought would never end
I've seen party quests where I could not find a friend
But I always thought I'd play DDO again
One more time again, now
Thought I'd play DDO one more time again
Just a few more quests to run into the ground, now
Thought I'd play DDO, thought I'd play DDO

Got to say, what a really bad Easter for your support teams guys. That just sucks :(

Hope they get some thankyou eggs from the bosses.

At last able to login to the forum...

since the ddo servers suffered a horrible painful dead the day after good friday
I expect the resurrection today on easter monday

On a serious note:
why aren’t these ‘servers’ virtual servers instead of real hardware? Networking/any hardware should always be a provider problem (like AWS, Azure, DigitalOcean, …) Never a software vendor problem.
Would this be a VM (even without co-location) put it on another hypervisor. If its in another physical location, change the DNS records and boot it up. Not fun, but its real fast.

I wonder why some people stayed logged into the forums while others didn't and couldn't log in. That's strange.

 

[Br4d]

Is the forums membership drive over yet?

 

[Arkat]

So what's the disaster recovery plan if something happens to Cordo? Who is the mini-Cordo backup?

Backup??

That would require some sort of communications plan.

Speaking of which...

 

[Raine]

Ok but for real?? What happened?

 

[Stoner81]

watched 3-body-problem, now on season 3 of vikings

Watch Vikings Valhalla too! It's really good!

Stoner81.

 

[Raine]

Someone must know something or are we still tracking cable? Why no virtual backup server?

 

[beerweed]

Watch Vikings Valhalla too! It's really good!

Stoner81.

Man, I opened up a can of worms! I do appreciate the ideas. I am as we speak making a list of what to watch. So many good ideas. Thank you guys and gals!

 

[Justfungus]

BANG ! ... "what was that?" ... shuffle shuffle shuffle ... door open ... smoke comes out .... "Oh Crap !" - Something like that.

 

[Dandonk]

Could always watch Happy! again. That was hilarious
