Server Offline May 12th

[Rogean]

A power outage occured at our data center, I'm still waiting to hear the details from them. However, following the power outage, the hard drive array for our primary database has failed.

The data is fine, we utilize active database replication so that it is constantly being backed up, but it may be an hour or two before the server is back up. I'll keep this post updated when I know more.

Update 1: I will typically post status updates in IRC from time to time if you would like to join us. irc.eqemulator.net /join #project1999

the bonus is nice... to try an lure people from live. Once sony gets up and running , hopefully the server will return to normal. If i wanted a easy EQ, I'd play on one of the other servers. <3 Devs for keepin it real here!, and being timely with almost everything(sony never was timely).

Ya know I was just thinking the same thing. And this is coming from an individual, not a multi-million dollar company.

Don't get me wrong, I see the point of the bonus, but it's been going on for two weeks now. I am fearing two things now:

1. The people that do come here from live, will leave once they find out how slow the leveling really is once the bonus is turned off.

2. People will whine when it is announced that they are turning off the bonus and because of the pressure, they keep it on.

Of course, I am a huge pessimist.

Rogean, thanks for making this server possible. I got into the og EQ right when Luclin was launched so I didn't get a chance to experience the game when it was really taking off.


I'd like to donate to this project. Can anyone post a donation link? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks again, and thanks to the community for making the game a true gem.

Donations are made on the homepage of the p1999 website, there will be a donation tab on the navigation toolbar.

P1999 team deserves it, they do a lot of work for us to keep this free server going. If I was rich I'd hook em up.. Too bad I'm not [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

^ This.

Level 59 is very rough, even with a 50% exp bonus.
