Logon server offline

May 31st, 2014
The SWGEmu Staff


Logon server offline 05/31/14

From our host:


Our cloud server division has reported that the dedicated server upon which all Dallas Zone A cloud servers exist is presently down for emergency maintenance. You will be notified once we receive notice that Dallas Zone A is back online again.


Which means that even though Basilisk and TC: Nova are online, you wont be able to log in. Those lucky few that are already in logged on shouldn't log off because they wont be able to log back on again.


We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience and support.

How great would it be if when the log-in server comes back online the game server crashes from sudden traffic increase muahahahah

Appreciate the response, and thank you for all of your hard work!

Any way we can dispel the "guy in Spain" myth while we're at it? :)

Glad I found this post, I was beginning to wonder if I was having a problem with my firewall again. It'll be great when the log in server is back up and running again :-) For now, back to watching Star Trek's original series with my wife hehe.

Been a busy couple of days and so I've been out of the game and now this. I'll be paying through the nose just to reclaim my harvs!

Thanks for the heads up, Vlada!

Vlada is not, to my awareness, located in Spain. If he is anything related to his name Vlada, he is Russian or comes from the general area involved. But I have heard the Spain myth also, but Vlada has his picture in the sarlaac pit and does not look to be a Spaniard. The name Vlada could also be Eastern European. But I am no expert on Vlada and we shouldnt spread gossip about a person who spends so much of his time helping us when he does not have to.

In any case, Vlada is not in charge of the servers. Vlada is in charge of the forums. TheAnswer is in charge of the servers, and from what I have heard he is in the UK or someplace similar. I do not *think* he is a Spaniard either, though I know some people from Spain are members of our community. But again, gossip is bad about people who want to help us.

Last, there is nothing wrong with being from Spain, even if either of them were.

Thank you both for everything you do. :)

Under the General Discussion tab for the forums, there is a Bas hometown pics thread...and Vlada has a picture there that was posted in November.

TA is indeed in Spain. If he's a native Spaniard I do not know, but he does live there.

Much to the chagrin of many, TA's analysis of any server issues are far more important that a quick restart. Stability is the key in the long run, and his review of material leading to server instabilities sometimes requires time. Sry. :)

Alpha. :p

Gotta do it.

With the problem being based with the host in Dallas. I am not thinking we will see a quick fix, it being the weekend and all.

Yeah, its outta our guys hands unfortunately hun... its their internet service providers, not anything the team here has done by the looks of it.

Basilisk and Nova are working perfectly, I was one of the people that didn't get kicked when the login server went down. All of our stuff is still there, although someone told me Basilisk did later get knocked offline. Servers are fine don't worry, whats broke is what lets us get into them. It isn't broke, its just locked on the ISP's end.

To my understanding anyway.

Not completely true...depending on who the host is of the cloud server, many companies have dedicated on call staff to fix issues and perform maintenance.

Living in Texas, not even four hours away from the hole that make the Pit here on the forums looks like a wonderful day in the neighborhood, and as one who uses other services with their offices and such based in said armpit (armpit being my name for Dallas ;)). I am just going by experience... Although with Bas, actually being deadlocked right now, I will try to be optimistic and pray for TA to flip the switch when he gets started tomorrow ;)

I tried to talk my boyfriend into logging on to see if the issue was with the company he works for, since he's a top tier IT guy and telecommutes. He not so politely reminded me he was on vacation and I said...so? your son and I want to play swg lol

Maybe I desynced a couple of hours ago... Lost guild chat, couldnt dismount, open any terminals or crafting tools, no mail, no planet chat, no auction chat... Thats where I got it from, but hey, if you are still in there doing something besides sampling, more power to you ;)

I could be wrong, I got knocked offline a while ago, hun. I was going on hearsay. It's often wrong, dear. If your serious that WoW is also offline, huns, then we have a serious problem that might not just be affecting us either as well.

I've been reading there have been multiple Dallas server issues within the last 24 hours. One issue was a time zone coding thing, but I'm not a software specialist or IT or what have you (I'm a hardware kinda girl, just bought a new Glock Gen 4!) so I don't know if this has anything to do with that, but at least it's been acknowledged on the 'net so maybe.....the server Gods can figure it out :) I'm just kicking myself for taking a nap today when I should have been on! Torchwood has missing vendors since I was in the middle of the publish revamp :/
