...I think there should be one...

for times like now, when I try to connect, and nothing happens... and I'm forced to wonder what's going on, if I'm the only one experiencing it, and when I'll be able to connect again.

Hrmmm. Well, if we don't know there's a problem, a status page won't be too much help ;)
My home client is currently compiled to connect to the test server, but I'll get a production client set up and test it myself shortly. I'll post here when I know.

mine times out when trying to connect...

Server broken, Cunjo.
"All Circuits Are Busy. Please Try Again Later."
I'm pretty sure that I'm NOT the one that broke it...

Right, Momerath?

/me points an accusing finger at LeberMac "He did it!"

it's been fragged for quite some time now

and nobody has said anything???

it's a thursday night, and I want to spend the beginning of my weekend wasting my life away on VO rather than growing a social life...

There's a network outage. We weren't informed of it, so I'm guessing it's unplanned. There's not much we can do about it, either. Hopefully when the game's more complete and we start advertising, we'll be able to afford a more reliable colo.

>>"Well, if we don't know there's a problem, a status page won't be too much help ;)"<<

you could have a client that regularily checks the server, reports it's status (up/down) on the status page, and alerts the hosts to downtimes so they can:
a) explicate on the status page
b) fix the problem

...

ah...

You're right cunjo. We should have monitoring set up. If it wasn't already on the list, it is now, but, as you know, it's already a very long list ;)

edit: It seems we already do have monitoring set up. We'll talk about setting up a page for informing you all if it indicates a problem.

network outage? soo.. waiting is all we can do.

No, there isn't a network outage. There's a bug in Lua's IO library. *growl* Back up now.

hrmm. The traceroute seemed to indicate an outage to me, but I wasn't sure- glad I called John about it:)

we block UDP other than the server port.

Ahh, of course, and obviously ssh from anywhere but a few ips (I should have tried going through the office). Let it be a lesson to all, never drink and diagnose ;)

I notice that usually when the server goes down the website goes down too. what would really be good is if the Website and the game do go down you post to another website, like one of the guild sites to let us know what is going on.

OMG OMG OMG!
THE DEVS GODS HAVE SPOKEN QUADRO-FREQUENTLY!
IT TIS A SIGN!
