I have noticed that Rpol has been down most of the weekend (and still is), anyone that knows why?

TigreFatalis

I figure with the "let's get drunk" holiday Friday, they probably didn't notice.  But yeah, it's been irritating.  *le sigh*  At least none of my games are too busy at the moment.

Lots of my games were busy... :(  I'm very heartbroken about the whole thing.  At least, as far as I've been able to tell that no one can get in at all.  But I hear that people have been somehow hounding Jase about it.  Don't know if it's true or not though.

It's probably nothing he can do at the moment. I'm more afraid that someone has hacked the site and the question is if they had... how much damage has been done to it and its contains. But that is of course just speculation.

TigreFatalis

I'm pretty sure it's just a server problem.  Happened a month or so ago...

But for this long? I remember a couple of years ago this was happening on a fairly frequent level for a couple of months. But since then hasn't it been limited to a few hours here and there?

I'm not saying it's been hacked or anything, I just think it's probably bigger than the typical sever issue.

I am afraid too that something has happened. The Rpol cna be mostly closed down a day but not two days! Also hacking is possible or that Jase have forgot pay the bills for keeping it up (later would be preferably because nothing has been damaged so far as I can tell). Also in WoW whole weekend the server where I was playing lagged alot, so it can be VERY massive net lag or net falling appart somewhere.

I knew I could count on someone(s) here to have an answer...or at least a guess.

And dammit!  >:(     The last game that I was in that was moving even a teeny tiny little bit had finally started moving again.

I just talked to a friend of mine who lives near Jase (in Perth).  He said that depending on the problem...if he needed parts or something, no stores are open on Sundays and today, of course, Jase would've had to work...so maybe if that's all it is it won't be too long.  Don't know if this helps any...

There was a weekend about two or three months ago when RPoL was down for about 30 hours or so.  That time they said that a server bit the dust and they had to get a new one.  At least, that's the story I heard.

My suspicion was that RPoL has had a massive influx of applicants/games/activities going on and I think that since this is finals week for a lot of people, the servers simply overloaded and crashed.  Though it may take a while to get everything back up and running properly, I'm pretty sure they've got backup of all the active games.  I don't expect to lose anything from any of the games I'm in nor the one I'm running.

According to status.rpol.net a new host has been arranged. Now we "just" have to wait for rpol to get online so jase could take the data from the old server and transform it to the new one.

Lilac

Oh dear...

Some (all?) customers have lost all of their data ;_;

...

Maybe us leaving was a blessing in disguise.

Still, this type of thing makes me want to run the crontab twice a day, I know I'd feel murderous for this kind of situation. >_<

Anyway, our hosting plan got significantly upgraded, to the point where we could host about a third of rpol's traffic.  Maybe I should make an offer host the entire adult games division.

GoldenChild

It's not a very pleasent thought...

Do you guys store backups on Elliquiy elsewhere than on your host's server?

Lilac

Every month or so, either Vekseid or I download a full copy of the database.  Probably should be weekly >_>

Images and avatars are not backed up, however.  But I don't see that being the primary concern here.

GoldenChild

I would agree... myself has a full backup of everything (picture wise) I uses. I can't say the same for Rpol IF the data from their database would be damaged... Two years of gaming... *poof* (if that would be the case).

I think that's a great idea since the new version of RPoL will result in having to pay for access to the adult section.

I know how it is, my wife doesn't really approve of this site either and then I haven't told her any details (shame on me), not that she has asked for that matter.

Purple

But she does play on RPoL in the adult section?  There's some differences, granted...but isn't it kind of an either none or all type thing?  It's okay to play or it's not?  I very easily might be wrong, but I kind of usually see things mostly in black or white with little grey.

No she only play on the "other section", she has said she isn't interested in playing adult. Not that we have spoken about it either really. Personally I don't see any wrong with playing adult as long as it stays online and as a fantasy. I do believe there was a topic about this a while ago.

Purple

Well I'm with you on this one obviously.   :)  Still, he will never understand, of that I'm certain.  He doesn't approve of anything unless it involves him and me only...and I probably shouldn't go in any more detail, huh.   :P

I saw  :), what can you do? I have been playing there for so long regulary that it feels strange now when you can't access it anymore.  :(

TigreFatalis

I only play in the Adult section of RPoL because I don't want to have to deal with the more immature crowd.  Many of the games I'm in, however, do not have sexual interaction... some flirtation in individual storylines, but no actual sexual interaction.

The game I run, FlameRider Saga, has two different contingents of players... the first is the actual storyline, the second is... more interesting.  *chuckles*

But I will definitely, depending on cost, pay to play in the adult section.  I'd even pay to run my game.  I'm just ticked that I didn't DL it.  *growls*  I dun want all the info trashed.  I have most of it as it is, but... *sighs*  The actual play... I was planning on DLing Sunday... and they died Saturday (in my time zone).

Steel: 'If...' is really just a place for a lot of one on one or small groups to have a thread without having to set up a whole game. Players can contact each other through character names as opposed to user names, keeping up the privacy that is so prevelant on RPoL.  I am in three threads there, and they are all completely seperate and independant of each other.

*grins*  Yes, Summer's Fall is the one with David Michael Zane.  He's used the Kiefer Sutherland pic.  *purrs*  I specifically wanted a Steven Seagal type.  And he's done very, very well.  Though the original plan was for her to be the dominant... Just goes to show what a good writing partner can make ya do.  *grins, pretending she's not blushing*

*purrs low in the back of her throat*  Mmmmmm, Seagal is sooo damned hot.  He seems to be a turn off to many, many people, but damn... he's almost the ideal to me.  Tall, thick, big.  He's fast and quiet... *grins wickedly*  He's tall.  Whoof... *purrs again*

Seagal may not be such a great actor, but he is aesthetically very, very pleasing.  I love the broad shoulders, the thick chest, the belly, those thick thighs.  Everything about his body says power.  And his eyes.... so intense.  *melts*  But the most effective part of him, everything else ignored, is his voice.  Low, quiet, powerful.  That near-whisper.  He doesn't need to speak any louder... that voice crawls inside my ears and grabs my very soul.

Of course, I'm aurally fixated... voice... Mmmmmm.  Good stuff.

Personally, I think we should figure out some way to thank him for legit.  I mean, for a lot of people, having the opportunity to RP is really a life saving thing.  For some it's just entertainment, but... Well.  He's gone through a lot of difficulty to get the site back up and running.

Beyond that, I think it might well be a good idea to send the God and Goddesses of E a little thanks as well.  It really is wonderful to have such a place to congregate and converse without having to so much as... ya know... leave the house.  *smirks*

So... thanks to those of you here at E that make this place possible.  It is of great value to me.

The new server is running, and there is a new page:

However, all it is at the moment is a place holder. However, the new server is up and running, which is indeed good news.

The RPOL Drive has been found, and it was put in someone else's server.

They are currently working on getting the data from it as we speak.

Update 17/05/2006 - 03:30 GMT.  FYI, the data we are getting is dated the 6th of this month, which is when we think the site went down, so we should be missing very little, or no, data.

Yeah!!!!  :)

*pads in in tiger form and plops down next to the Golden Child, laying her massive head upon his thigh, tail curling around and flicking lazily back and forth.  it will be good when RPoL is back, but she'll content herself to wait like a good little (okay, huge) tiger*

*strokes the (huge) tiger and scratches behind her ear and just cuddles*

*purrs a low rumble in her throat, leaning into the scratching, tail flicking in comfortable happiness.  Ahhhh, to be scratched behind the ears... truly heaven for this particular tiger.  If it wouldn't have looked scary, she'd have grinned, but showing teeth usually made folks nervous so she just flicks her tail and purrs*

I mustn't have hit it at the right time, when I joined I couldn't really find anything interesting and the one or two I fancied having a go at I didn't get any replies to my requests to join the games even though they were asking for players.

Fortunately I found here and settled in quite nicely.....

Elliquiy is quite different from RPoL for me... more... open to stretching my wings.  I write on RPoL and enjoy my games immensely, but it's a different experience, for me anyway.

Yupyup.  Lots of stuff I'm involved in over there.  Miss it quite a lot.  And, there are good friendships with people who haven't crossed over into the... uh... more liberal zones of E.  

There are times when the going is slow but now that finals are over for most folks, it should pick up some.

It is harder to find games on RPoL because of the privacy and difficulty of communication outside of a game. At first I was frustrated there, but now have an outstanding set of games I would hate to lose.

Things should be easier in the future on RPoL when the new version is released. There will be a user to user PM system in place, so you no longer have to be in a game with someone to communicate with them. Should help quite a bit with finding games.

But I certainly understand those who are perfectly content to just play on E. I happen to enjoy it myself :)

Yes, I run five games on RPOL and have been there for years, and am itching to get it back online.

A lot of my friends and I supplement our RL weekly-game by playing there as well, and all five of my games are full of excellent players.

The three things that draw me and my players there are the threads that can be open to only certain players, the fact that you can put private messages in posts, and you can have multiple characters. It makes it a lot like the RL games we play.

We use index cards at the table for private communication.

It is, but I still think that a very valuable lesson about back-ups being done regularly was learned there. As well as a solution for server related issues should your hosting company decide to sell themselves to another company, who then decides without warning to move the hardware, losing a bunch of it in the process.

I know I backup my forum every day, sometimes twice a day.

Elvi

Well, that one is out of my hands, but I believe that Lilac has/is making sure that we are safe here.

Edited my post.

I meant to say 'there' as in at RPOL.

What I think was more shocking were the companies using the hosting services for businesses, who didn't have any redundancy or back-ups in play when it happened. Not a good business model to follow.

It's different when it's a personal or fun related site.

I was tempted to offer her for the epic game but I didn't know how to do a demonfey for pathfinder.

Well, she could have got all positive stat mods and no -2 Con penalty basically and only +1 with whatever chosen demonic ability. Pathfinder made base races quite strong and fey'ri are slightly stronger than standard elf.
