Server down - we'll I'm stuffed

[old.Halfmad]

Server went down (no notice as far as I could see) and I'm currently standing right at the middies entrance to uppland, typical that I kill someone there 5 secs before the sodding server goes down

I look forward to being ganked by patrols/millions of grey when I log in tonight

ooh I found this:

Tuesday, May 28th we will do some modifications on our network. The servers will be unavailable in the morning, starting at 8am BST (GMT / CET-1).
This maintenance will allow us to:

Do a small but needed modification in the character database.
Modify the network switch, adding new network cards.
Get our network ready for the opening of Gorre, the test server.

All servers should be back up before noon.


expect your quickbars to be fecked up (so backup files with your character names in them)

notice?

Erm there was plenty of notice.

At approx 7.40AM GMT I received a message saying the server would be going down in 25 minutes for maintenance.

15 minutes later received another message saying server going down in 10 minutes, find a safe place to logout.

I would assume u logged in after the second message, which is a little silly on Goa's part, as you shouldn't have been allowed to log in.

aye doubt I had been logged in more than 5 mins

In all fairness GOA did post that warning on their web site several days in advance.

 

[old.Halfmad]

I'd probably check thier website more if they made more regular updates to it (look at the camelot herald now THAT is a good site).

I got away anyway, must have been the first time ever that there's been no middies anywhere near thier gate

 

[Alrindel]

If GOA had sent someone over to your house to personally warn you of the outage and make you tea while you waited for the server to come back online you'd still be complaining that the tea was too sweet and the biscuits weren't the kind you like...

 

[old.Halfmad]

well if they knew how to setup thier own servers properly I wouldnt have been able to log in after the first 20min warning or whatever had been issued...
