Server downtime

Server downtime - 10/18/11

EDIT - Further note: Login server appears to be having some issues. No ETA on it's revival; Liberator still remains up but can't be accessed.

LIBERATOR IS CURRENTLY UP -- The next 24 hours are a test to determine stability, so DO NOT get too comfortable just yet. We're not completely out of the woods.


Our server in Denver experienced another hardware failure, and because of it Liberator and TC: Nova have been offline for days now.


Update:

As you may or may not know, not one but two of our HDD's died, which really made things a lot more difficult. Our SSD is fine, Liberator code and Berkley database are fine too, but Devs are still trying to recover mysql with the all char info that was on the raid that crashed.

With these kind of problems it is almost impossible to give any kind of ETA, so please be patient a little while longer.

Update 2:


[14:13] <%Vlada> You can recover Lib?
[14:13] <@oru> yeah we are working on it
[14:13] <@oru> there is only a slight chance though
[14:13] <%Vlada> OK, how long?
[14:13] <%Vlada> tonight, tomorrow, 2 days
[14:14] <@oru> no idea
[14:19] <@oru> it takes so long because we want to make sure we will have more attempts to fix it


Update 3:


[20:39] <@TheAnswer> i am cloning the data on the current HDD's
[20:39] <@TheAnswer> to safely play with them
[20:40] <@TheAnswer> to not lose whatever is left
[20:40] <%Aceblade> excellent - do you think we could get Nova back online while you're attempting the recovery?
[20:40] <@TheAnswer> no
[20:40] <@TheAnswer> we dont have any OS there
[20:40] <@TheAnswer> i am working from a liveCD
[22:12] <@TheAnswer> we also bought 2 more HDD's
[22:12] <@TheAnswer> for the cloning

Update 4:


[03:07] <@TheAnswer> we are still copying the files
[03:07] <@TheAnswer> if its not done by tomorrow i will proceed without it
[03:10] <%Vlada> What does "proceed without it" mean? Reinstall everything without mysql data, That's equal to wipe, right?
[03:10] <@TheAnswer> yeah

Update 5:

Finally some good news, or devs were able to to recover pretty much all the mysql so none of the character data is lost. When we have the OS installed and running, TA will have to test the latest data, if its not consistent Liberator will be rolled back to October 14th.

Update 5⅔:

No problems so far, just that damn thing called real life. It always messes things up.

Talked to TA, turns out he had a hell of a day, he is going to try to test the mysql data now... if he doesn't fall asleep in the process.

Of course all this takes time, rough guesstimate... 24 hours or more.



Update 6:


[23:22] <%Vlada> Time for some news, good or bad. Even no news can pass as news right now.
[23:23] <@TheAnswer> Last Updated: 23 hours ago
[23:24] <@TheAnswer> that's the ticket i sent for replacing the bad HDD
[23:24] <@TheAnswer> 23hours ago and still waiting
[23:24] <%Vlada> host didn't replace it?
[23:25] <@TheAnswer> not yet
[23:25] <@TheAnswer> we needed it to recover the data
[23:25] <%Vlada> lovely

Well folks it looks like its out of our hands, we cant do anything until our host replaces that damaged HDD.

Since we cant do anything until they do what needs to be done, we are back to no ETA.

Update 7:


[23:31] <@TheAnswer> they just replied
[23:31] <%Vlada> and?
[23:32] <@TheAnswer> they reinstalled OS
[23:32] <@TheAnswer> i can see all the drives now
[23:32] <%Vlada> \o/
[23:32] <~Odwill> finally
[23:32] <~Odwill> good news though
[23:32] <%Vlada> Will we see Lib tonight?
[23:32] <@TheAnswer> i hope so
[23:32] <@TheAnswer> i am working on it

Fingers crossed.



Please note: Global registration is down too. New members won't be able to register on our forums during this downtime.

We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused you and we thank you for your patience.

I have no idea the setup of the data center the lib/nova server are housed but speaking from experience from my company, we have a 4 hour SLA for replacement parts. Now if it were a hard drive failure, it could be quite a bit longer due to having to pull data from backup.

attwood201

Lol oh well looks like I have to restaff talus again. I hit surge and prob hour later server went down. So hopefully no roll backs. Or ima be doing talus with my guild again.

We've had a few SSD failures in the past but apparently this time it was just a plain old normal HDD that died. Think the confusion came in when I answered what an SSD failure is.

Plenty. It's been very poorly received. As much as the majority of us desire the game in its pre-CU state, I would venture to say that there are at least as many active players that have only ever played the game in the NGE incarnation and would desire "their" own server "that" way.

Reead
10-18-2011, 09:55 PM
Hardware failure is a fact of life for datacenters, but I must say this particular datacenter has had quite a few failures with you guys in a short amount of time. It might be time for the Emu developers to take their money elsewhere. I'm sure it's a much bigger pain in the *** for them than for the testers & players.

Just my two cents!

Reead
10-18-2011, 10:01 PM

Take this with a grain of salt because I'm far from an expert.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but SSD's are usually used for the server's Operating System because they have much faster read/write speeds than normal HDD's. One of the downsides to current SSD's is that they have a higher failure rate and degrade slowly with use. The physical, magnetic media used by HDD's is much more reliable, and cheaper to buy with massive storage capacities. I would also suspect that the HDD holds much of the "meat" of the data (player data, tables and such, etc) but again I could be totally wrong.

Is it possible to get the code so I could run the game on a private server?

Vlada
10-18-2011, 10:49 PM

Only the new OR code that is still in development, one running on TC: Nova.


Liberator code is considered a dead code, no longer in envelopment and it is not open source.

With all the faliures maybe its time to think about Raid 1 mirroring and hot swapping.

The drives which crashed were running in a RAID10, if it wasn't, this crash would've meant the loss of ALL data. But even with RAID of any sorts, if a drive goes bad, it can take a GOOD long while for the data to be rebuilt if a new drive is put it considering if the RAID was some sort of mirrored array.

Seems to me that they are not the only ones having problems with HDD and SDD as of late. I know about 5 friends that have had HDD issues including crashes recently as well as having had SSD and HDD issues at work. nothing that cannot be repaired but it takes time and there is always a risk of lost information. Good luck to those working on the situation.

Also thank you all involved for providing this community and for all their work on the SWGEmu Project.

I was not talking about Emu i hope Emu is around for ever .i ment we should be thankfull its only one day.(down time)

This pre-version has a future one we enjoy i ment the peeps who are on the none Emu who have no future after Dec 15th and as some have mentioned hopefully many will come to Emu they will find it in my view a very rewarding place.

Galaxies with many classes and skills keeps the game fresh long live Emu.

Is the Emu being hosted by a datacenter or have donations been used to purchase a good hot line (T1, etc)? If it's being hosted by a datacenter they should be performing regular maintainence and should have software in place to monitor all hardware including harddrives. I have harddrive monitoring software on my home pc and it has saved my "bacon" a couple time by alerting me to HD issues prior to a crash happening.

Not trying to second guess anyone. You guys are doing us all a favor by repairing sony's disaster and bringing back the best online game of all time. I am just curious. Yes I know the cat thing but curiosity always gets the best of me LOL!

Thanks for all the great work you folks have done and are doing. The communication from the Dev, and PR teams are great. Your not leaving us blind, your keeping us in the loop and thats awesome.

TOR is being released on Dec 20th and only those that pre-ordered and got the early access get to play before that. But for everyone that didn't buy TOR or didn't get early access that's 5 Days without a Star Wars MMORPG to play that's like MADNESS!

Got to say - as a retired USAF network operator I find it hard to believe a HDD failure downed the server for a day. Having a server down for an entire day was tolerated for difficult to diagnose software issues - or communications failures outside of our control (AKA the "phone" company) -- but a hard drive??? Then you say this isn't the first hardware outage? I'd have serious questions for your data center.

the little kids who cried for jedi as a starting profession arent still playing .. they have SHORT attention spans .. they all played wow for a little bit , now theyre either in tor beta or waiting for BF3 ..

/agree

I played several games, including WoW after NGE came out because it made me quit instantly. For more than a year now I had given up on all MMO's ever being good again.
I used to look forward to TOR....but then I got a TOR beta....and played that for 10 hours before quitting (Can anyone say WoW-Clone with a star wars skin?) SWG Pre-CU is the ONLY MMO game I think I'd ever pay for simply because its the only one that is any good.

The one good thing about me playing TOR is that it made me want to see how SWGEmu was coming along after the last few years...and I'm loving it.

I'm so glad I looked at SWGEmu because otherwise I'd be stuck with no star-wars fix and no mmo fix.

The Emu IS the REAL SWG!

I started playing SWG before JTL came out. I think I started about 2 weeks after the game went live. Had I known about the open beta I probably would have been playing then LOL. I thought JTL was an awesome addition to the game. Travelling from planet to planet, well all travel became easier allowing for more playing time. Then they brought out the Combat "Upgrade". I cancelled my subscription the first month. I saw the beginning of the end then. For years I searched for a online game that was even close with no success. Games such as overlord (buy the game & free to play. Good thing too the game sucked). Then the open beta for Lord Of The Rings online came out. Being as big a LOTR junkie as I am a Star Wars junkie I had hope once again. Only to have that hope crushed by the game play and pathetic crafting. Then while surfing the web I came across and article that caught my eye. SWGEmu. I immediatly joined. I needed to know what this was. Been here ever since.

I guess this rant is a long way for me to say thank you to all those involved in bringing the best online game back into it's prime (not to mention feeding my gaming addiction for a good online game). So once again Thank you to all those involved.

If we are waiting for volunteers to do post recovery type work then ignore me, I appreciate whatever effort they are doing and will wait as long as it takes.

If you are still waiting for the host company to restore the disk from RAID, man time to get a new company. Where I work if we took that long to restore 1 disk someone would loose their job. Even if the part was not on hand, it would be rush delivered ASAP. If this is the case time to think about a more reliable hosting company.

No. Not so much. Space has stayed the exact same until two weeks ago where there was the primary and largest expansion to date. Just too bad there's so little time left to enjoy these new additions.

Space was never my interest anyway, I was a ground pounder and well on my way to Jedi when they killed the game. I am so glad people took enough interest in the game to bring it back the way it was Pre-CU.

Man i was so pissed all the grinding and the hard work was thrown out the window. BUT what you guys have done is great allowing us swg fans the chance to once again play the best MMO and with v1.0 on the works its only going to get better. Ill be a permanent resident thats for sure, and when i get financially stable i will be making donation to keep the project running and working for many years ahead. Thank you for bringing back the force!!

Got to say - as a retired USAF network operator I find it hard to believe a HDD failure downed the server for a day. Having a server down for an entire day was tolerated for difficult to diagnose software issues - or communications failures outside of our control (AKA the "phone" company) -- but a hard drive??? Then you say this isn't the first hardware outage? I'd have serious questions for your data center.

Got to say - one suspects the USAF has a slightly larger budget and few more full time staff.

I must /agree with most of the posts above in that I think we all owe the Devs and Vlada and his team a big THANK YOU!! for all the hard work they put in VOLUNTARILY on this project. We all love this game so much and to find people who are willing to give up there time to give this back to the community I must say I have to take my hat off to ya guys/gals (don't want to upset anyone) you have done a magnificent job.
The downtime we all have to suffer is a very very small hardship for us for the work you do for us, we really really do appreciate it honestly, even if some seems to complain a little they dont really mean it, just fustration kicks in and wild things are said.

I played on Tarquinas for a long time in my guild Generations (tag:<Gen>) and as guild leader of them for a while, what a great bunch of people I must say. I really did miss not being able to play SWG as like most people I was not happy with the changes SOE adopted. My main was a toon called Tornadium. I made Jedi before CU and NGE which was excellent to be for a while before it was ruined.

Keep up the good work Vlada on keeping us updated on progress even if this means there is no progress, we are all behind you 100%.

10-19-2011, 08:51 PM
Im new to SWGemu and just wanted to try and show my appreciation.
I used to play SWG until shortly after the CU as many others, and have just recently found SWGemu again,
Last I looked along time ago, it was not even really playable. but now, I am extremely Excited again. Been playing on Liberator
for the past few weeks and it has been great getting back into the game. See I am disabled and in moderate to extreme pain on a
regular basis. Because of that fact money is always tight so, a paid subscription to any game is difficult if not impossible. Being able to
get back into the game has been amazing for me, because while I am concentrating on the game and what I am dooing and where I am
going in game it really helps me manage my pain levels. so Thank You SWGemu. you are not only bringing back a great game the way it
should have been kept, but giving us players one of the best MMOs ever to relive our "Glory Days"

So again, Thank you

P.S.
I hope the process of getting the servers back up and running is smooth sailing and quick. (yes I do check hourly LOL)

/agree

SWG Pre-CU is the ONLY MMO game I think I'd ever pay for simply because its the only one that is any good.


While I agree SWG is a great game and they have one of the best crafting systems and is immensely fun to play. I would not say it is the only one that is any good there exists a game that believe it or not did not "NGE" their game to make it more anything but fun and immersive.

Final Fantasy XI online was and will always be one of my favorite MMO's to play i spent a lot of time playing both that and SWG and have loved them both for a long time.

So while i will agree that most mmo are replicated garbage designed to suck money out of our pockets for no more reason than to make gaming business money. SWG and FFXI I feel stand apart from that. I will admit that they sere designed to get our money but i think we feel less cheated because we got a quality product in exchange.

Since yall were talking about your server....just wanted to say go go Wanderhome, The Rebels, New Aurora, Devorak El'Lenwa (Me), and my mom Kidania El'Lenwa and Sienna Ra'ein (most revered Architect on the server). Shout out to all my guildies from Antarian Protectorate and United House of Freedom. Ill miss you SWG-Pre CU retail but I am sure glad these amazing people are doing what they can so I can say...hello again SWG-Pre CU! I was only around 10 when I started playing SWG a bit after Beta but I sure do remember my love for it. This is the only game I can say id give my left arm for...as long as I get a mechanical arm (get it? SWG joke). Once again....thanks for everything....I love you guys!

Not suprised...didnt have a name for myself...but for most of the game I was buffing in Cnet...and went not I was PvPing in Cnet or having fun with the PvP vs the Imperial City to the north with the Jedi city Light Haven to the South. Only people I knew were the ones that knew my mom like Iren Ovig or Ofi Afi...or that punk..Bink...haha.

Yeah, I'm good with a wipe too. It's only Liberator, it's not like we are going to keep these toons forever. We will loose them oneday, that day may as well be today.

Just wanted to make a point or 10...
I played SWG from launch until the NGE, unlocked my Jedi (I think I cried when I did) before the CU, Wifey unlocked right at the CU then we got the daughter and her boyfriend playing. We played for a few years and I have to say it was the best game I have ever played. I have (2) 6' bookshelves chock full of PC video games and have been playing them forever, so I believe we have some experience in video games.
After We quit SWG, We all tried Guild Wars, good game, but hated the instancing, too much like single player or multiplayer game.
I tried LOTRO, City of Heroes, Anarchy Online, Dark Age of Camelot, Ultima Online, Star Trek Online, and even WOW. I never lasted more than a day or 2. I got babied by SWG, comparing every game to it and here are the reasons why...
Unparalleled Player Housing and Player Cities (Ultima Online had a good player housing system, or so I'm told)
Unparalleled crafting system (The absolute best I have ever played)
Unparalleled Resource Gathering System
Unparalleled Space and Ground System with awesome transitions (the only game that came close to this was a single player Star Trek game about 15 years ago, lol)
Unparalleled Skill System (only game I've ever really played that allows for customized templates to this degree, drop skills at will and pick up new ones)
Unparalleled and unique skills (Bounty hunter? Hunt other players? Wow! Creature Handler? What other game can even touch this one?)
Unparalleled Economy and Banking system (Player vendors, stores and bazaar? Too beautiful!)
Unparalleled Space and Ship systems (Customized ships? Explore space? Real time flying to planets? Space combat? Havent played any space game as good!)
The combat system was pretty good in SWG and I grew quite fond of it, but every game out there is combat, combat, combat. For the reasons above, its what put SWG above all the rest!

Again, just wanted to say thanks to the devs and all the testers out there that are making it all possible! To this day, the fam and I get into the old SWG memory chats and how bad we all miss it. (BTW, I finally got the daughter to try EMU and she is freaking out right now due to the server being down! :)

Oh yeah, this wouldn't be the devs sneaky way to surprise everyone and upload the Nova OR Code to liberator, right?

Thanks!

^ in the same vote I played wow for about a year, but it was boring... Sad to say set will always be my Numero UNO. I don't think there will ever be a game that can come close to pre-cu swg.

Full wipe please.

Lets level the playing field again. Remove all hacked stuff. Remove all toons that cheated. Remove all bugged out toons. Everyone re-rolls.....

you'd be redoing your "recent" mrifleman anyway regardless if there was wipe or not. rollback will kick it back a fair bit.. I would assume so..

I will be Master Armorsmith within a fortnight. Depending on rare resource spawn rates, all armor will be available within the month.

Same should be true for Weaponsmiths.

P.S. I still vote for a wipe.

10-20-2011, 06:27 AM
well thats good to know

kraziepriest
10-20-2011, 06:33 AM
The real question would be how long till buffs are up . U can grind without armor and good weapons if u have are buffed.

darkshad0wxx
10-20-2011, 06:36 AM
i can grind perfectly well without buffs unless im fighting kratys or something to that effect so im not worried

Yeah same here... grinding without buffs is no big deal for me. If they wipe it, they wipe it... makes no difference to me. Seriously, I'm not gonna go out to the graveyard the first day back if it's wiped and decide to take on an ancient or something... that would be like taking on the singing mountain clan with a rusty spoon! Pfft! so not happening. LOL

Please no wipe. Could it be the increased solar flare activity, I know it's been shutting our HD-TV off a lot lately. Please no wiping of Liberator. I JUST got my husband to trust there would be no wipes from Liberator and he'll KILL me if you wipe us now! lol Just work the problem. :)

Is there a reason I keep having to relog into the forums to post? There is only like 5 minutes that goes by and suddenly I find I have to re-log onto forums if I want to post. Dunno why. :P Well hopefully we'll be up and running soon, eh? Soon all of our posts will be shaky due to the withdrawal symptoms we're suffering lol

there is still no - eta atm(they will post here when there is one) and for your husband he should be able to understand with all these circumstances... plus lib is going to be wiped once "sun crusher" has a release date. so Ive heard.

darkshad0wxx
10-20-2011, 07:17 AM
yea there are many more wipes to come

Gohan212
10-20-2011, 07:20 AM
yea there are many more wipes to come I dont think they were planing on any wipes, but what I meant was lib will be removed for when sun crusher comes because it is old code and there to keep people interested lol

please correct me if I am wrong tho:P

darkshad0wxx
10-20-2011, 07:22 AM
yea and when its replaced it gets wiped lol

all in all... I dont care bout wipe or not, others well.. that's just how these things work.. everyone wants something different.. IMO the more people that help test on NTC faster we can help with developing process to the real GOAL!:D
