Toreava Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Boy I miss those server indicators. Net7 keeps saying it is offline. Is it?
Palimow Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 ya something is screwy. my system tray icon says its up but net7 says offline. maybe theyre fixing the no name bug!
Guest Janeway Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Hmm Did this just start or is this an older post?
Janeway Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Okay now I see . I am not sure if it's up or not either. I can log in but not actualy play any toons.
loric40 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 My launcher said offline, but hit play and logged in. I is working for me.
cshank4 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Updater is down for me, as well. E: Okay, you can get in game, but you cannot create a toon, and logging in with an old one is kind of hazardous, since you run the risk of having it wiped by the powers that be. Be careful.
Daywolf Posted January 12, 2010 Report Posted January 12, 2010 Been that way for the past day or two. Didn't check yesterday, was doing system maintenance, but the day before it was showing up fine.

brawler Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 Why is the server down I missed the reason? Anyone tell me?
Jasperville Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 They are rolling the database back 48 hours
Mortabis Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 Well, its 12:02 am est and the server is down, any idea when its going to be back up?
Toreava Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Posted January 13, 2010 Why is the server down I missed the reason? Anyone tell me? There were a few problems. The server was actually working while showing offline. Right now there is a 48-hour rollback being performed. Something happened which caused toons to simply disappear. Fortunately, we have a database to which we can revert. Those that lost their toons should get them back, and the rest of us can redo the last two days right. Here's hoping everything works out. In any case, I think it is important to see if backups can be applied in realtime to correct problems. Testing 1, 2, 3...

Cool, I guess they learned a lot from the last wipe I can't wait to get back online and start playing my JD again.
Cybertyger2 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 Its 11:27 pm central time here they are still down- yeah they are rolling back- yeah cant wait till its back up 2 but worth it if it gets my toons back.

posfordfan1220 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 [edit] OK, no need to tell you that the server is still down. In any case, I think it is important to see if backups can be applied in realtime to correct problems. I am learning SQL Server right now. The book says a good backup strategy is weekly full backups, daily differential backups, and hourly transaction log backups. They should be stored in a different physical location, such as a different building in another city, in a locked room with fire detection systems and no standing water. And Jet Lee in the closet.
Daywolf Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 This doesn't use SQL, does it? That'd be strange, usually MySQL is quite sufficient to run an mmo server and is normally what's used. Hmmm... anyway, still down heh back to Planetside
Toreava Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Posted January 13, 2010 Okay -- so I read they got the lost toons back, but is the server up? If not, eta?
Mortabis Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 BUMP, I wanna know the ETA as well so I can plan my day
exect Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 playing EnB is a good excuse for not sleeping. but I cant play so I might as well get some sleep....
Tienbau Posted January 13, 2010 Report Posted January 13, 2010 Hi, not sure when the server will be back up again - one of the other devs is rolling the SQL player database back so ppl can get their chars back but it looks like he's having trouble with it. Yes we do use SQL and yes it's more than good enough to run our MMO Although obviously it isn't just SQL, the database is just one component of the server - we use it for content and storing player data. TB
Toreava Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Posted January 13, 2010 playing EnB is a good excuse for not sleeping. but I cant play so I might as well get some sleep.... Yea -- you're right. I'm just getting a bit nervous here. Not knowing if things are okay is worse than knowing. Being an idiot when it comes to knowing what it takes to accomplish a rollback, I'm just anxious to see whether or not I have survived. I'd rather roll into sleep knowing I'll roll into the game with 48 hours gone or just plain back to 0. G'nite, Toons.
