Server Down?

[Buffet_Shammy]

I saw the post for the new log-in server update.

I'm not seeing the server on the list anymore. Do I need to download something? Or is it just still down?

[Rhambuk]

juuuust waaaaait

[Buffet_Shammy]

Ok, so still down lol

[Frug]

the project1999.org home page has a status.

[ALLWILL]

Yes, the server has been down since around 10:00 AM EST.

No warning, no explanation, and no ETA on them coming back up yet, at least to my knowledge.

Everyone is so disappointed about Pantheon's Kick-Starter, they must have just decided to pull the plug on p99... =(

[Netherzul]

Pretty irritating no server staff has given a status update yet considering the initial message claimed 10 minutes of downtime.

You'll get your crack, just calm down.

Yeah pretty irritating the best MMO ever made is available in it's classic state for FREE with 99% uptime. Thanks to several staffers who spent countless hours making it possible; their reward is comments like the above! /clap

[isiah]

Hey, ya'll!

[Netherzul]

Getting weird internal server errors while browsing the p99 website from time to time also.

I think were being punished for not donating enough to Pantheon. Conspiracy theorists, this is a call to arms! Find this Derubael character and seize him!

He can't help it, we all have different ways to deal with withdrawals, and some people manage them better than others.

Hey, Obwin. How many times have you donated? People like myself SUPPORT this free to play classic EQ MMO experience. I'm pretty sure you've never once considered it.

[Ponden]

nerf toss plz

Has nothing to do with "withdrawals????" ... has everything to do with what was occurring in game prior to this announced 10 minutes of downtime. Not all of us rock level 15's as mains.

[Buffet_Shammy]

Oh forums

A simple question quickly, turns into flames

I wasn't bitching about it being down... I've just made the mistake in the past of not having the correct files or updates and THINKING the server was down.

Wanted to clarify :mad:

You sound very angry and irritated, both are typical signs of withdrawals...

[ALLWILL]

Hmm... I didn't see it. Must not have been paying attention to the right window.

If there was a warning message, then I rescind my previous statement of "No warning".

S'ok, Minecraft will suffice in the interim.

[Blackmartin]

need to get back to playing EQ, league of legends makes me so mad =P

Its easy to determine someone's tone of voice over text. Oh wait ...

Donation gives you the right to be an asshole? p1999 has more uptime than original EQ servers by a long shot. Obviously you've never worked in IT before. I'm sure you are also one of those clueless people asking for updates like "how much longer will it take the developer to debug the issue? We need an ETA on the fix" (before the problem is even known).

FYI my most recent contribution in support of p1999 and great MMOs as a whole.

I would just like to say your "donation" means nothing considering you did not even actually have to pay that amount. The Kickstarter failed...

[Solb]

Well, you don't need to "hear" a tone to understand a persons emotional state of mind when they type it out in a post. You communicated quite effectively through text how you feel, and I can tell that you really are angry and irritated that you are not getting your hit of EQ this morning. I feel you, bro.

[Obwin]

So I assume you donated to help the project meet it's goal? I can't control that the project didn't fund but I will be donating directly via the website.

[Fuzy]

How about you guys stop trying to log in ever 30 seconds and go do some productive work that you wouldn't otherwise do. Laundry? Clean the house? Homework? Show your kid/wife some attention?

[Netherzul]

Donating to Pantheon is not donating to project99. You can thank me for clarifying that for you.

[WadeSnaps]

i guess i didn't buy this ps4 for nothing.

Wheres my money nilbog?

[slekan]

I really think we need to have servers DOWN for atleast 1-2 days a month, this stimulates some individuals to clean, shop and actually go out and do stuff.

[Vindor]

I know its free and i shouldnt complain but the issue isnt really that it is down its not knowing whats going on.

We are not talking about a huge enterprise like SOE here we should be able to have a communication going on between the staff and the players, hell i am sure some of us would be ready to help if possible.

[xarilzir]

when its up its up! its free to play =) i might venture outside and see the gloomy UK weather.. or prehaps il finish some work for tomorrow...... NA im gonna log into live and see how gimped my chars are after not being touched for 5 years!

See you all in game ssoooon

[Swish]

I think people posting here feel like they're self entitled to 24/7 server up time. I'd bring the servers down at least twice a week to combat this, without server repops.

Gotta keep em in line :D

[Obwin]

Obviously server went down for something expected to be very quick, issues arose and now it's taking longer. Very common during code release/hot fixes etc.

Perhaps staff should come and give you the play by play on what is going on (that very few would understand) instead of actually solving the issue and bringing servers back up ASAP.

right before a repop imo, or even better 30 seconds after.

Hey, if we all gave this amount imagine how much Nilbog could get done? he could quit his day job, then spend that time maintaining the servers and creating us new content! Velious would have been out years ago...

The problem is, in that 30-60 secs it will take to do that, P1999 servers could be up, and we won't be focused to log into it, immediately as soon as it pops up! Who knows? P1999 could be up and running in 3 secs from now! You want to miss that?!?!
