Well if and when you get on and you are alive just run away and recall out. I just hate how bad a shape my plants and beehives are gonna be in. If you dont treat them regular they get in bad shape. This is 2 times now I couldnt treat them because I couldn't get in the game. (sigh)

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Altho we're currently online, the connection is not stable. Let me explain a little. There are 2 problems at the moment.

1. Problems with the ISP's network (the ISP that provides the physical connection between me and the ISP that provides internet access) that are occuring because of the big upgrade a week or two back.
2. Problems due to an infected computer sending out spam, and today was the 2nd time they disconnected me (for the whole day) (the ISP that provides access to the internet).

Solutions:
1. They say it should stabilize by monday, but i will go and buy a router which should automatically reconnect when an error occurs.
2. I hope that no computers are infected now after i've done a reformat on all of them, also installed a few more protection programs. But still, you never know when a computer gets infected, so i'm thinking about changing this particular ISP (it's the isp that provides access to the internet) to an ISP that treats such problems differently (not just cut off, but disable the problematic port and lower the speed, so that i am aware of the problem without any disconnects).

So for now, it can still go down at any time... i hope it wont but reality is that it probably will. The pets get shrunken automatically on a disconnect, but corpses dont. So for now, i suggest you stay in low risk dungeons.

It's nice to announce that the server has a 7 day uptime now, looks like the NCT (netwok cable thingy) issues were solved. And hopefully no more spam. So anyway, I'd say it's now stable and safe to play... low chance of a disconnect.

But still, dont forget to bond your pets and insure your items! You never know if your power or internet goes out, or the server's power or internet (it's on a UPS but that holds for just 1 hour).

Disconnection

Post by +Rayne »

It seems that we have had a disconnection. I have contacted Colibri, however he does not seem to be on location atm. I am sure things will be resolved shortly. And to think, I was about to prepare for the auction tomorrow. :wink:
