so then, where are the monkeys?

Wouldn't you like to know. Because Leber got a peek at something he shouldn't have (somewhat like the Spectator bug in some stations) the Akanese shut down the network. Bad Leber! Prying into secret governement sercrets. They're super secret!

Quoth mrchriswanderson
The funny thing is I just signed back up after being offline for a few months. I have been debuging my network for the last hour until I found this posting.

Who do we call to get this back online?

Does this happen often?

This does not happen often, and one of the devs is working on figuring out what's wrong right now. Hopefully it'll be working again real soon.

No, the server was not up, I just wanted to give you all that bit of happiness as you log on to test it

oh no....

not soon(tm)...

noooooooo!

and then a crushing sence of defeat when it doesn't work?

I assume I'll be KOS for a while here... :( HRM.

/me readies a voodoo doll... looks at the needles.

mrchriswanderson, for all I know, this is the second time it happen since I've been on this game, dating back last november (or circa november).

So no, credit where credit is due, this really doesn't happen often.

according to momerath...

damnit!

[edit] can I get a $0.02775 credit to my account for not being able to play for the last two hours of my shift at work? [/edit]

By the way for all of you who joke by saying our chars are erased two words:

BACKED UP

I was wrong about it being a network outage. I wasn't sure, so I called John. Andy discovered that it was a bug in the lua io library. The server's back up.

Sorry everyone. We have monitoring software that pages us for "most" problems (the actual machine going offline, etc), but it can't actually monitor the server process itself. an internal thing is supposed to do that.. and well, yes, need to fix that. Sorry for the outage.

NOT MY FAULT! Woooooo!

you got lucky this time Leber

can we still blame Lebermac, anyway?

i'll blame him, it gives me something to do for the next 11 hours while i'm at work.

:(

What the hell did you do to make everyonet think it was you, LeBer?

Wait, does the Server going back up mean no more turn-based text VO?
