As we previously posted, earlier this afternoon Morningthaw and Wintersebb went down without warning. We were able to restart WE almost immediately, but MT has run into further problems.

It is now evident that the game database on MT has experienced corruption, which is preventing the world from starting back up. We're not yet certain of the connection between the crash and the database corruption -- once the world is back up, we'll have more time to analyze the logs.

Unfortunately, the database corruption leaves us with two options. We could spend another five hours attempting to repair the database. This is not guaranteed to work and could result in strange behavior such as lost housing and items. Our other option is to roll MT back to the last good backup -- midnight last night. Restoring the world from backup and bringing it back online should only take two hours at most.

After discussing the two options, we have decided to go forward with the rollback. At approximately 4PM PDT / 7PM EDT / 11PM UTC Morningthaw will be brought back up with last night's backup. The backup was done at approximately midnight Pacific time -- 3AM Pacific, 7AM UTC.

This way we can cap the lost time at about 16 hours. If we went forward with the repair and it failed, it's possible that the lost time could exceed a full day or more.

We apologize for this unexpected downtime and rollback, and we thank you for your patience as we minimize the impact of the database corruption.

Status update, with some unfortunate news.

We attempted to continuing using the existing server cluster for these five worlds but ran into additional problems and database corruption on Verdantine.

The decision has been made to migrate these worlds to the brand new server cluster that had been earmarked for the other four AC1 worlds. It is a bit of good timing that the cluster is up and ready and was in the final phases of load testing this week. The other four worlds will remain on their current cluster until, at minimum, we determine what caused today's problems.

The current status of the five worlds that are down: Due to the database corruption that continues to occur, it is unfortunately necessary to roll back all five worlds to the backup that was made at approximately midnight last night.

We expect the restore to be finished and the worlds to be back up shortly after 12:30 Pacific tonight -- 3:30AM Eastern time, 7:30AM UTC.

We've begun discussing a rollback recompense similar to what we've previously announced for TD, LC, FF, and SC. More details on this will follow later this week once we've got a handle on the total impact.

We apologize again for this unexpected downtime and rollback. As I said, we'll be posting more details about some sort of in-game recompense in the near future.

grummel, server sind noch immer unten, gestern hab ich zähnchen abgabe in glenden gehabt...mit 3 chars..einer davon sogar mit 2 skills...alle knapp unter max ..heute morgen sind die server noch immer unten und das bringt mit sich, dass mir eine komplette runde fehlen wird, wenn die wieder mittwochs patchen im oktober..

aber der xp verlust ist nicht so schlimm wie ein sinnvolles item zu verlieren, finde ich..

mal sehen, ob die auf dem turbine board genug jammern um ein lvl für alle chars rauszuholen :-)

aaaahm, ibn hat sich ja im posting schon gemeldet, bin noch nicht ganz durch gewesen mit dem turbine board :-)

We are just as bugged as you guys are about this, please don't think we don't care. In addition to the fact that some of us will end up working a 18 hour day or so to get this resolved as quickly as possible, there's the fact that we're players too. Some of us are getting rolled back, just like you.

If there were some way to recompense all the items and experience that were lost due to this issue, we'd do so. Unfortunately such a method simply does not exist.

We're rolling back to the last good backup, and we're discussing other options in terms of some form of recompense. Obviously for some the recompense won't equal what they lost -- for others, it will be more than what they lost. But before we go into great detail on that topic, we'd really like to focus on getting the worlds back up.

The main point I'm trying to make is that we care a great deal when a server or servers go down and have to be rolled back. We care not just because this is our job, but because we care about the game as players, too.

nur mal ne so ne frage. sif hat innerhalb von 12 stunden 600 und nen paar mio gemacht. haben die bessere hunting spots eingeführt oder woran liegt das? ok sif is der roXor aber 50 mio pro stunde find ich echt übel. früher als ich noch aktiv war waren 20 mio sau gut.

Jo also die Mama Sif huntet jetzt groessere Monster, Das sind heavy Spellchain Caster die dick fett krass Exp geben. Dafuer ist das Risiko extrem hoch und man stribt wie die Fliegen.

Aber auf Dauer lohnt es sich halt

Es ist aber netuerlich etwas einfacher geworden, weil man ja auch selber besser geworden ist und b essere Ausruestung hat.

Heute wuerdest du so 30-35 schaffen mit dem Stil von damals...
