Blight Maintenance 10/19/04

[Illyist]

Hi Blight,

Not sure if anyone else has posted an ETA for you, so wanted to let you know we're working towards getting Blight up sometime this evening.

tks Aru
allways nice to hear u lookin out for us

[Hordolin Awanagin]

Just a FYI Illyist:

IP=68.142.64.242 now and am getting error 88

and the page:
https://horizons.istaria.com/horizon...s/payment.aspx

refers to ibillcs.com instead of ipaycs.com

Noticed the same thing as Hordolin. IP address of Auth Server is different for Blight now, but Chaos is still listed as 68.142.64.210

Going to try login with old IP addy.

[Hordolin Awanagin]

And it's changed again this time to .215

[Termas]

Thx Aru, same problem here.

[Illyist]

Yeah, the secret's out. We're having some trouble getting it up :P (Hrmm, maybe I should have re-phrased that...)

[Pretorak]

from IRC:
[19:10] <David-CheckingWebError> Blight received some new additional hardware this morning... it's taking some time to get everything right with it.

Hopefully we'll be back up soon, but if not....at least Farscape's on =)

While it may be nice that you guys are aware of login problems and are addressing them it gets very frustrating to continually have problems almost EVERY patch day. You would think that eventually you guys would learn what to look out for and what not to do. Just when I start feeling better about the game a little bit after all the recent hardware problems, surprise another borked patch day.... I realize you guys are working hard and trying and I give you credit for that but maybe working smarter as opposed to working harder is called for here. There has to be better communication on your end and a much better understanding of what could go wrong and steps to prevent it BEFORE the servers are taken down to patch. We finally get some content pushed that we can test ahead of the live servers for the first time in several weeks and once again we can't login. Not looking for miracles but every other game out there doesn't have the same patch day issues that you guys have on a regular basis. Need to figure out how to prevent these problems before they arise...
