Testing Dedicated

[Agaric]

Thanks Kret, I'll give it a shot now.

[Vorce]

Yay! Everything's working fine, the reduction in lag isn't that obvious, seeing as there's only 3 people online, so ~ lalalalala

[LegendaryFro]

Woohoo dedicated server! We should serve punch and fresh cupcakes.

[Agaric]

Thanks, that worked really well. I didn't notice problems. Anyway, I can't seem to log in anymore so I'll probably do some work on a profile and head to bed. Night! xD

[Kretol]

Unfortunately, it already seems to be causing issues, as the server seems to be down once again (I was having a similar issue shortly after I first got it, which prompted a 'repair' which took a couple days). Seems to simply be in limbo with no way for me to connect to it. Hard crash I suppose.

I'll see about getting it back up.

[Vorce]

Well, Imma make a confession as well >.> There was actually more lag when I tried out the new dedicated server <.< I'm not sure if this is because of my low quality graphics card (seeing as I tried to enter graphic intensive areas such as Dalaran and flying around shattrath) or my bad connection, and so I assumed that it was just me. I've just decided to put it out there anyways, in case someone else has the same experience, but they most probably shouldn't, so meh ~

[Velasco]

Yush. It worked, I logged in, joy was had! Then, I was disconnected, and before I could do any testing for lag or anything, I was logged out. And can't log in at all. And the "server info" page... doesn't work either. So I suspect a hard crash. xD

Just came home, havent had the chance to test out the dedicated yet sooo...

Lets keep things optimistic and I'll start by closing my left eye and pointing the index finger of my right hand towards Kretol

You rock, Kret!

And then onwards... just an idea... if the server wipe is to come forward, wouldnt it make sense to do it with the server change?

SSSSSSSSSSSSSssssSSSsSSsssssSHHHHHhhHhHhHhHhH o.o

[Insel]

Is the login server down? I just get "Connecting..."

Here's my realmlist.wtf file

set realmlist coth.game-server.cc
set patchlist coth.game-server.cc
set realmlistbn ""
set portal us

[Judgernaut]

Yup. Im pretty sure Kret will report in once the server is back up.

[Kretol]

Well, supposedly it was fixed, but I'm still not able to connect to the VPS, so I sent in another ticket. Heh, so nice, indeed.

Anyway, I have work in an hour, so for now I'll just start up the old server in the meantime so folks have something to do. Bear in mind I likely will -not- transfer the databases again once the new one is actually working again, so please don't bother spending any time grinding or anything like that. Just RP and socialize!

I should also note that I already went through last night and changed all the components, registration, server status and player map links to point to the new server. Therefore, anyone trying to use any of those will not be able to do so until it gets back up. Again, the old server is up currently just to hold folks over!


((As a reminder, just change realmlists back to coth.game-host.org for now))

Edit: Temporarily changed the server status link to be functional, at least.

[Kaelvan]

I got a question.

Since you have a VPS now. Can you send me that rig you were hosting it on? I mean. I could put it to better use then you.

On a more serious note. Sounds great. Too bad my internet is still bad. I'll try out the server when its up, and whatnot.

[Kretol]

Unfortunately, apparently the OS of the VPS has been corrupted and it will need a total reinstall. So, I've been set back yet again a few days. Therefore, to players, feel free to do whatever (whether it's grinding/leveling/tokening/what-have-you), and GMs, feel free to work on world-building and whatnot.

[Judgernaut]

Sorry to hear about your series of unfortunate events, Kret but for what its worth, it did make me giggle like a little girl on a moday when a giant pancake crushes the school building and ontop of it drops two pieces of butter, each weighting 1000kg and then a small oceanworth of syrup is poured on it.
