Ok, I quit. 2 hours and 9 minutes of frozen server and I'm throwing in the towel for the night. Hopefully it will be up and running properly in the morning and we can get some sort of explaination.

[+Colibri]

It's coming back online.

[Xavian]

If you don't mind me asking, what was the issue?

[KatiJay]

[Fiernocht]

I assume there are problems yet again..

[Yoda]

its times like this I wish we had a big searchlight like batsignal device.. it would project big ol sandals in the sky and alert colibri to problems..

yes I know thats impractical since we are all over the world.. but yeah don't work for a bunch of hourse want my shard time

[Melkor]

My guess is the problem is easy to solve, but +Colibri is not around and doesn't know its down. And the West Coast USA GMs are asleep, so they are not around to "alert" +Colibri of the problem. Or if they have the ability, to restart the server themselves.

[Ilsanor]

One of the reasons for the suggestion that there was a GM(s) for every major timezone - USA, Europe, Australia/East Asia.

Hopefully since it's Sunday +Coli will get around to bringing it up quick. Unless he works on Sundays as well.

[Xavian]

I don't know about the restarts. Unless they are able to access the desktop of +Colibri's computer, then no they can't. Because of issues in the past, I really don't think that is the case. +Colibri's work schedule.. IDK. +Colibri's ISP.. That needs replaced hardcore.

**Rant to Follow**
I'm tired of all of the lag spikes and downtime lately. Put all of those donations you are getting to work and invest in a better ISP. They are there to be used to ensure the server stays up correct? I know, it has only been lately that it has been happening that I have noticed, but I know I'm not the only one. 5-10 steps and a pause, 24-36 hours and a freeze. Something needs to be done. I'm not buying the "routine ISP maintence" comment any longer, that ISP just sucks now.
