And on the third day, the servers have risen.

Thank You Cordovan for the updates - i wasn't logged in here on forums when everything crashed so i could only monitor & was unable to respond - i could tell somoene was working on things though cause the login client would change phases - I'm IT also and admin 14 websites on a shared server - things go south, they go south fast - many times fixing one issue can cause new issues - we ran into that a few yrs ago ourselves with an older server hardware issue - i've been playin DDO lil over 5 yrs and this is Only the 2nd incident i've seen & DDO staf n Devs went above n beyond the last time & in 2020 they showed they care more about the game & us players than money when they opened everything for free all yr for lock downs & then gave us the quest(s) we were playin for free at the end of the summer - That's when i started investing money into the game
i'm disabled & don't get disability - i live n work online due to health problems - i have DDO as my 3D game world & RLC/Utherverse as my Adult 3D Social World - i'm always here somewhere

Devs n Staff - hope yall still got to enjoy family time for Easter n keep up the great work - Huge Thanks & see ya in world

Why don’t you just leave already? You’ve been an a-hole for pages. You know nothing about what occurred this weekend, so GFY.

You're right. I don't. And neither do you. So take your own advice and shut up.

I think we were hacked by the Chinese the Russians caught it before SSG and Hacked the Chinese hack and then The US DOJ caught a couple Illegal Migrants (finally) and they find out about the hack and the DOJ tried to stop it (were soooo screwed)

So just as DDO came back online, my Square credit card machine went out at work... Did your people raid the Square server farm for parts or something??

/tinfoilhatmode on

So the last time this happened, wayfinder got a full xp stone, the time before that we got a raider box, so what we getting now? Especially since it happened over a season of long weekend. (Which means we planned to game for days)

Well, you got a "sorry" of sorts on the launcher this time. All better?

Aliens....

 

[Questor56]

Well things are looking up. Got logged in and rolled a 91 for my gold roll today.

 

[Misadventure]

Aliens....

You paged?

 

[Sylvado]

You should try Warrior Nun. It is a really good show.

Sadly it was a good show, final season has come and gone

Fred got stood up on his date in U67 and is taking revenge

it's the cook's fault he made the main dish Kobold brains you know how filling those are...

Hi everyone! Just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that the game worlds have been reopened. We apologize for the unexpected downtime over the weekend.

Thank you for bringing the worlds up again!

If I were to tell my wife I would have gotten a one word answer, retrograde.

The LOTRO forums are chill.

These forums are a hot mess.

30+ pages of (choose one):
1. Whining
2. COMPENSATION!
3. My IT background is bigger than yours
4. Repeating the same joke multiple times
5. All of the above

it is now 70+ are we having fun yet.

… If its in another physical location, change the DNS records and boot it up. Not fun, but its real fast.

That reminds me of a fun observation one of our SRE’s told me years ago: “It doesn’t matter what problem you are seeing, it’s always DNS”. He was mostly right in my experience.

We obviously love DDO more than they love LOTRO.

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

The login servers have been up and down. If you weren’t logged in to begin with, you had to do so during a window when they were up.

Living in that world right now as we have spun off an operating company into its own company but have a couple years of migrating users and applications.
