The Eternal City Maintenance

2008/04/11 1:10 PM PDT -- Erwin regarding Skotos

Thursday (April 17) we will work on The Eternal City for major maintenance, involving picking apart a backup taken in the morning and putting it back together. There is a poll in the Welcome Area about what to do in that time (9AM to 9PM Eastern, or 6AM to 6PM Pacific), most likely it will be a so-called No Save Day.

Grendel Maintenance

2008/04/11 6:41 AM PDT -- Erwin regarding Skotos

Tuesday morning (April 15) we will take Grendel down for maintenance. The work will begin around 10 AM Eastern (7 AM Pacific) and we anticipate the game to be back up 2 hours later. Sooner is always possible, but not guaranteed.

lazarus, Ironclaw, Lovecraft (done)

2008/03/25 9:10 AM PDT -- Erwin regarding Skotos

After some delay because a check was due on all file systems the games are now back up, restarted from statedumps (backups) made shortly after 10 AM Eastern.

Lazarus, Ironclaw, Lovecraft

The machine appears to be stuck. We're reviving it as we speak.

UserDB maintenance

2008/02/27 9:28 AM PST -- Erwin regarding Skotos

On Friday morning between 10 and 11 AM Eastern Time the UserDB will be down for maintenance. During its downtime access to authenticated parts of our website (on www.skotos.net and sites for the individual games as well) will not be possible.

Marrach and Ironclaw maintenance

2008/02/25 10:20 AM PST -- Erwin regarding Skotos

Tomorrow morning (Tuesday, February 25) between 10 AM and noon Eastern time (also known as 7 and 9 AM Pacific Time) we will restart both games repeatedly for maintenance purposes. Actual downtime as a result of this is expected to be under half an hour but the games are also likely to be lagged or otherwise difficult to use during the maintenance window.

Grendel Maintenance

2008/02/02 11:32 AM PST -- Erwin regarding Skotos

On Monday, February 4, we will take Grendel down for maintenance. The work will begin around 10 AM Eastern (7 AM Pacific) and we anticipate the game to be back up 2 hours later. Quite possibly sooner than that, but no guarantees.

Plannet reboots

2008/01/02 2:43 PM PST -- Erwin regarding Skotos, RPGnet and Xenagia

Happy New Year!

On Monday (January 7) we will be performing routine maintenance. Unfortunately this will require a reboot of the machines, affecting all of them (UserDB, games, web and mail servers). This event of sorts will take place between 10am and noon Eastern Time, a.k.a. 7am and 9am Pacific Time.

Planned reboots

On Wednesday (December 20th) we will be performing routine maintenance that unfortunately requires a reboot of the machines. This will affect all machines, games, forums, etc, between 10am and noon Eastern, also known as 7am and 9am Pacific.

RPGnet / Xenagia Up

2007/12/11 11:28 AM PST -- shannon regarding RPGnet and Xenagia

Things went better than hoped. There was an I/O problem, which we're going to be looking into more deeply, but the machine is now back up, and the MySQL tables were consistent, which means that a long rebuild isn't needed.
