Thank You HCS for all the time and effort ya'll put into getting the game back up and running. For the dedication and sacrifice of time and sleep and the outstanding effort to see that you put in to getting the GAME back up and running for all of us who are so completely hooked that many of us felt like a part of us was cut off.

Get some rest, ya'll sorely deserve it.

I hope that a few of us players who were suffering withdrawl will sit back and realize just how addicted and invested we are in the game and gain some perspective as well.

Thanks for getting things back up!

It has been up for more than a few minutes, and I am still having significant lag both in-game and in the Forum.

Any expectation of how long this should last?

Thanks!


Until the memcache gets up to speed, usually takes anything from 30-60 minutes.


Awesome - I'm always happier when I can plan :)

I cancelled my existing auctions, set new 1 hour auctions. None sold, and all cleared to my Item Mailbox. Oddly, the time-lengthened items in the mailbox are sooner in the list.

Hey Thorsark!

Soooo... I want to commend the Cows for perfectly illustrating to me that I am WAY too addicted to this game. :wink:

I think I checked the main site almost a hundred times. I followed the progress of the ETAs from a couple hours, to "when its (sic) done".

MAN, I'm glad it's up now. Thanks. Very laggy, but good to see the world again. 8)

Hoof, while I really do appreciate all the work you guys have been putting in, does this crash cause you to think that maybe regularly scheduled maintenance might be a good idea?

I'm no expert, just an interested journeyman, but I know I'd rather spend two or three hours away from the game while the servers get debugged/defragged every week or two than having to sit there and wonder when the game is going to be back up because the servers took a massive poo and died on you guys again because their stacks are so corrupt that they might as well be playing host to a horde of carpenter ants and termites, lol.

What could be a better way of approaching this is:

How feasible would it be to run the database servers off a HA Clustering setup? And would the initial corruption have been averted with that setup.

Need to take into account factors such as the cost of rack space, Hardware and Licenses(DB Licenses can be VERY VERY expensive). It may not be worth spending up to $100KUSD for a redundancy/contingency setup.

Wanting our fix, and yet it's lagging lol... anyways just my little thought! and I should pass it on..... keep up the good work "Cows"

Feels like memcache never got used. Pulling straight from disk every time.

The game has now been up for 2 1/2 hours and it is still lagging really bad.

You have got to be kidding HCS.... this lag is so bad, you cant reload a page but every 30seconds.. even the forum is lagging here.

Yeah, I know you didnt sleep at all the 24 hours and whatever, but this is insane. YOUR GAME IS UNPLAYABLE RIGHT NOW..

I have a new computer that pushes a A+ connection and 9GB of RAM.. No way you can say this is on the customers
