Thanks for the heads up!

Will you be changing external IP addresses for the various services during the datacentre maintenance?


If so, you may want to communicate the need to update local DNS records via ipconfig /flushdns after the change

Some users may potentially experience cached stale DNS records for up to 24-72 hours after the change due to configuration of various external DNS servers (their ISP's TTL configuration)

This can be overriden via a HOSTS file, but you would need to advise what will be the new IP address for each eqemu service (DNS record).

If you are not changing external IPs, then please disregard this message.

Also, remember to wipe your ass.

@shoestring I dont believe there is any reason to change their IP address. Unless the Hosting server is changing IPS will the need for the IP change occur. Other than that, I dont see any reason to believe users will need to clear their DNS.

Often when i am having trouble with connecting the first thing i do is a dnsflush.. and it is general the fix.

Sometimes, unsolicited advice regarding quasi-related topics just can't wait for the correct forum.

As of now I am not sure of the ETA;

Haven't bothered to go on the Discord server.

Red will be down for a few more hours. It ran into a problem during the move and I'll have to rebuild some stuff.

A wipe wouldn't hurt while you're at it, TZ/VZ ruleset etc.

Not sure it's fully up - I have a character stuck in limbo zoning into Crystal Caverns. I get disconnected every time I try to log him in. Other characters are working in other zones.

[eqjunkie000]

I also am stuck in limbo with 2 characters in Crystal Caverns. Get immediately disconnected when trying to log on to either character. My mule in EC logs in with no issues though.

Would not be able to play here if it was all waiting in line on blue. Praying for Red's swift recovery from this ailment. Hope all is well P99!

Any info on when Red might be back up?
