DDO unavailable: Saturday March 30th

[TavernTails]

I asked Chat GPT to suggest "Top Ten Reasons Why The DDO Servers Are Down"
Here is what it generated:

1. The servers are being held hostage by a gang of mischievous kobolds demanding a lifetime supply of cheese wheels as ransom.
2. The resident wizard responsible for server maintenance accidentally polymorphed the devs into chickens, and now they're too busy clucking around to fix anything.
3. A group of goblins mistook the servers for a treasure chest and tried to loot them, but they caused a critical failure and crashed everything instead.
4. The servers are on strike, demanding better loot drops.
5. The servers got stuck in a heated debate over whether a gelatinous cube should be classified as a dessert or a monster, and they're refusing to budge until a decision is made.
6. The servers decided to vacation to Atraxia's Haven for some much-needed downtime, forgetting to leave an out-of-office message.
7. A band of bards attempted to serenade the servers with their lute skills but cast a Fascinate ritual instead.
8. The servers were overrun by a horde of rogue NPCs who decided to rebel against their scripted roles and reprogram themselves for a life of leisure.
9. A group of druids tried to commune with the servers to ask for better drop rates on magical herbs, but their nature magic backfired and caused a system meltdown instead.
10. The servers were challenged to a game of "Hide and Seek" by a sneaky group of halflings, and they're still searching for the perfect hiding spot.

Hmmm... anyone else having issues getting to the olde forums? https://forums-old.ddo.com/

DDO, LOTRO, and the old forums for both games are down. The new forums for both games (obviously since we can post here) are up. Probably all about how they're hosted/location of hardware/something something.

Over 3 hours of unplanned downtime? On a weekend? This is two weekends in a month that people have had major difficulty playing because of issues on your end. Maybe some compensation this time?

Khyber is back online, happy days.

Ugh... I had plans for the long weekend in DDO but now I need to make plans IRL!!!

I do have a tasty ham in the fridge for Sunday so that is small comfort at least.

 

[Volarr]

Bad things happen. Like you remember opening the treasure chest and it turned into a mimic.

Khyber is back online, happy days.

Why post something that is obviously a lie? no servers are up yet.

 

[rabidfox]

This is all part of the Easter event, the servers will come up in 3 days.

I'm willing to believe this one and it makes the most sense. They keep on bringing up "Water Works"

Sorry I was hungry!

Apparently MJ was a guest of Mohammed Al Fayed at a Fulham (Which MAF owned) Vs West Ham game, and the Hammers fans delighted in singing "I'm forever blowing Bubbles" (which is a staple Hammers anthem) when MJ was presented on the pitch!

Khyber is back online, happy days.

How can Khyber be up if we can't get past ( Installing Pre-Requisites )

 

[Dragavon]

FYI the issues are also preventing me from reaching the messaging tool for the game launcher news feed, so we'll use the forums and social media for messaging for now.

Do you not think it is time for an update now?

[RedPiety]

so much for leveling my main before work at 2pm :(
remind me why I pay for yearly VIP & extra points in the store?

 

[rohmer]

I hear sometime around year 20 things will get stable. These things take time, chill out.

 

[DBZ]

Will sorcs finally get a 3rd tree and an iconic by then too or is that 25

 

[Geezer]

Maybe a Domain problem like a few years ago when DDO was down for 3 or 4 days?

 

[CymTyr]

This was actually really bad at the time. The whole domain was up for grabs.

 

[SgtMajorZero]

Well, now it gets to the select server option, though all of them are down. We'll take it as progress
