is the server down?

[Raynebow]

i went link dead about 2 hours ago, when i tried to log back in, THF wasnt on the list, it still isn't now. is it down, or is it me?

[Kilmer]

It appears down to me as well, but has appeared that way most of the day on this end.

[Bonehead]

Darn, looks like I'll be getting a good nights sleep for once...

Aarcore

Btw, to determine server status from outside the client:

oh! nice page, thanks kilmer that's very helpful.

anyone know if they are having problems of some sort? it's now about 6 hours since i lost the ability to log in, so i assume it's been down that long.

Likely that they're just asleep, so bad timing. The server is in the UK (Hungary I believe), so they won't be waking up for a few more hours. it's only 7AM for them atm!

Uk = United Kingdom.

Hu = Hungary

That's 2 totally independant countries.

That's like saying the server is in New York (Washington i believe).

Beside - i can confirm that i cannot connect to it remotely, so Lillu to the rescue. Will send a message.

[Tyler]

Server is backup - Lillu will post a reason soonish i guess. My guess is pesky DSL.

yep, isp is the one and only reason why we might get downtime. I explained it a few times already, that we don't have fix ip, and so the isp forces a new dhcp lease every now and then. it seems like the in rare cases the router is having trouble to rebuild the line. guess in time we'll pay for a fix ip, but atm it's not an option. buying the new server hardware was more than what we could afford.

I'm glad to announce a new portal feature tho, the server status/uptime and Who is online feature! You'll be able to see when the server been rebooted and if so changes are live, etc. Credits goes to Petulance! /cheers
