Verifying

[Belegerandh]

I'm guessing the server is down for a short time? Normally I wouldn't mind but I have a couple of pets out and one finally bonded this morning. Thanks.

yea, down again
what happened to the server?
the last 2 weeks the server regulary crashes - before it seemed to run way better. Last Patches screwed it? Or is that just coincidence?
U can easily loose your pet now - because they wont get auto-stabled when server crashes. So playing a Tamer atm is a lil risky
I really hope this will get fixed - because that's the only thing that's going wrong right now. Everything else is great on Pandora.

Maybe it will roll back then? It crashed at a save .. Just not sure I have time to wait around at my PC until the moment it comes back up. D*mn it.

wow still down any one know what happened?

Biggest problem at the moment is the lack of admin/gm at europe afternoon time. (that means, right now    ) I don't mind server crash and minor rollback if the server is back online right away.

[Belegerandh]

Wonder what my beetle's doing ..  :?

[grim-inc.]

still not up? jeez i just mad a bunch of spears i was dying to try out

[Arminius]

just an idea:

maybe admins could set up a pearl script to automatically restart server when it crashed?

[Dleatherus]

when it's stuck at 'verifying account' it's down on the server in dallas from what i understand, and not at the pandorauo end ... those seem to last a matter of a minute or so

i'm not sure of the reasons, but they are trying to stabilize the code/script wotever to make things run smoother AS WELL AS introduce way more content for us to have fun with and enjoy

here are the latest stats pulled from uogateway.com which monitors uo game servers (this is one of the ones from the voting stones)

Cur: 61
Avg: 87
Max: 136   Cur: 76ms
Avg: 124ms
Up: 99.85%

it shows as 61 on currently cos it updates only every so often from wot i understand

see all of ya back in game soon ... hopefully :-)

Wonder what my beetle's doing .. :?

absolutely nothing. when the shard goes down, nothing will happen untill it comes back online, so maybe if you dont login right after it comes back on, your beetle will wander around. but tbh i've seen pets that are far from the owner vanish so maybe the system that "stables them and gets them back to you" when you logout/login is in effect...

[Belegerandh]

Great, thanks. Wasn't sure if 'life' stopped in Pandora when it did for us or not.  :lol:

[Belegerandh]

It's back!

[Arminius]

so what speaks against a perl / bash script for restarting server in case of a crash?
