Entropy Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Ok, the story is this: The datacenter that hosts the EL server and many other sites had a big problem with their power supply. For the time being, the problem is still not fixed, and the servers are running on Diesel (since the server was started in the morning until now). So in case something happens with the geneators, the server will go down. Which is why you should save often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanyel Report post Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) Thanks for info. It's great they're prepared now:) Side note: Isn't it funny? We're all playing internet game on Diesel. Irony of the fates. Edited March 27, 2006 by Vanyel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Entropy Report post Posted March 27, 2006 It's not that ironic, a lot of electricity is generated by coal... Anyway, it happens to the bigger guys too: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2006/03/...f_warcraft.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Visvate Report post Posted March 27, 2006 (edited) does it save when going down? :/ They took the server down, and there was a Server Going Down .... message that was broadcast which means that the server was taking the time to save everyone and everything! I missed that broadcast Edited March 27, 2006 by Visvate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur_Dent Report post Posted March 27, 2006 Engine failure? So much so that you turned it off just now? That would be my guess, probably switching back over to main power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
