Server Maintenance Extended - 12/15

Server maintenance for Tuesday, 12/15 has been extended at this time. All servers will be down for an additional amount of time today. I will post an announcement as soon as we have an ETA for the servers coming back up.

Thank you for your patience!

Hey Laby,

There is no ETA at this time. It looks like it is going to take longer than the initial hour estimate.

Have you ever considered adopting the Mainstream IT system for estimates?

ie. if you believe it will take one hour, estimate two.

This increases for each additional hour. For example, this is a list of internal estimates and publically released estimates I would give to people;

1 hour / 2 hours
2 hours / 3.5 hours
3 hours / 5 hours
4 hours / 6 hours
5 hours / 8 hours
6 hours+ / 1 day
12 hours+ / 2 days

I highly recommend it. Everyone will always believe you're usually fast an efficient! Then on the odd occasion you exceed the estimates, noone really cares.

having trouble squeezing all those reindeer into the server?

Server going down and up randomly each minute :D

My eye focussed on the high ping of the euro servers. Since i am living in Europe, they are normally low as 3 till 10ms, and the NA server high with pings which have the Euro server now have at this moment. Weird. I dont hope we got a lagg-festival when we login ;)

The ping that page displays is from the location of that web sites server, not from your location.

No its not ;)

When you go to the status page of that site, they giving the pings from my location to those servers. Not from that site to the servers.

I can check this even with NSlookup/Ping and a traceroute.

Hang on folks, we're still working on it but expect to be able to bring the servers up soon.

just skip all this and tell ppl it will be back up in a GAMER MINUTE. that's soemthing ppl can understand!!
for those who dont a gamer minute is however long it takes for the gamer to finish what their doing (i.e. anywhere from 10 mintues to 10 hours)

No its not ;)

There is no way that I (in Australia) have 2ms ping to anything in the United States, or anywhere else in the world for that matter.

what is eta?

Estimated Time of Arrival.

thanks now only can wait for server's up >.<

Thanks Lyzira for your answer, I'll broke my f5 key but I'm not hurry

Good luck for the Technical Team !

Thats why i am saying "Weird" because all pings are switched when the server came slowly up again. Normally i have on that site good measurements of the pings. Low pings for Euro, and highs ping for NA. :)

its form web page with this server status
euro server are located in euro so if ping will be from ur loc shoud be less then 100
login server is still in US

btw me in poland has too 2ms to bartz on that page :P and its impossible :P

There is no way that I (in Australia) have 2ms ping to ANYTHING outside of Australia. We are the proud Commonwealth of Australia, with the worst internet access speeds in the entire developed world.
