Basilisk extended downtime 08/09/2017

[EmpiresFinest]

Cool, Thanks for the updates and honesty.

[Jaws]

About the loading status: We are attempting to load a test db instance to check for data integrity. This should give us an indication of whether we'll need to wipe or not. It's loading on the HDDs so it's slow and will take time. Thanks for the continued patience.

As Ivo said earlier - don't get excited about the loading indicator on the client. They're loading some test dbases - not the shiny we all know and love.

FYI - i know the server is loading for db verification from the update post by Miztah this morning at 620ish...i received a couple galaxy harvester notifications at 1049.

Nothing's been posted to GH since yesterday. The notification emailer on GH has been notoriously laggy for months now - giving alerts to things that have been up for days in some cases.

Wipe would kind of be like being married with kids!! Being married with kids is amazing, fun, great , fulfilling, one the greatest things I have done in life, but at same time it is hard, crazy, annoying, difficult and a straight up pain in the ***! Wipe would give me the same mixed emotions! I remember starting live in 2003, running groups out to squill cave for xp. Fun stufg

Whatever the devs decide to do I'm for, they created my playground from the ashes of sonys incompetence and I will be forever grateful for that

I agree with Folky here, thank you

[bannazzir]

I think it should wipe and made the suncrush server oficially online with all the data we have now, and never wipe it again
But please, make sure it won't occur again, or probably all of us will left out it.
Thks, it's my opinion.
Good luck

Ya, me too. Nova/Lib/Bas have been my backyard for years. I spend sixty bucks a shot for a handful of games a year that I don't touch after six weeks. Including live, this game has a solid 15ish years of my life with it.

Thanks so much for the updates

ooooh it's locked....but what is locked...a fresh server, a corrupted one...or...just freaking maybe....basilisk as we know and love?!

[Jervin]

DID he really say he's been grinding toons on three accounts....

WHat him too?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Now comes the no wipe, just banned punch line.

[palaxe]

honestly, I'm good with what ever... Just happy for the work devs have put it in.
I've made a project of my own with unity and and I see how much work they have put into
this... Thanks

Well it doesn't really need a bunch of blind, gullible sycophants shilling for what appears to be a total failure of foresight and competence, either.

And you can't can't keep screaming "this is a free service", when this "free service" operates on donations made in good faith to maintain the hardware, and to prevent a catastrophic event such as a double hard drive failure from possibly happening. I mean, I could (and do) expect something like that from the smaller servers out there, but you can't deny that this one is a little (a lot) better funded than those.

Sure, it could be just an unhappy coincidence. But a wipe on the most competently-run and well-funded server within mere days of a wipe on not one, but two other of the biggest satellite EMU projects? Right on the very eve of the publish that everyone (including the thousands who haven't logged into Basilisk in years) has been eagerly awaiting? I'm sorry, but the odds of that being a coincidence are more than a trillion-to-one.

Like I said, I don't mind a wipe. But I do mind having smoke blown up my butt. And if it were just me feeling this right now, then yeah, I could understand being accused of being an entitled whiner. But it's not just me. Read all the comments, not just the ones that align with your narrative and argument. Something is fishy about this.

And as for the person who asked why I'm even commenting since I don't play on Basilisk, let me tell you something. I'm just as curious and interested about this project as you are, and just because you log in 2 toons and turn on /afk macros every day doesn't give you any more entitlement to post here than me or anyone else.

Dude, the money goes to the rental of the hardware from providers. The dev team has no physical access to any of the 3 locations at which the login server, basilisk and nova are hosted. TheAnswer lives in Europe ffs, while all 3 servers used are in the USA. It's really not their fault, not difficult to understand. Get over it

Just like in grade school you have to show your work to get credit!! So, at this point you're getting a big fat zero!!!

Did you just say something without including 1/10 or 10/10? I don't like it! 1/10. Wouldn't point out again.

Go back and read your posts from the last 3 years and tell me why I should care about anything you have to say. Angry little man lol

I'm not asking you to care. I bet you'll care if it turns out to be true though.

And I hope it's not. I hope I'm wrong. But you simply cannot deny, whether you care or not, that it's just too big a coincidence to not be suspect.

At any rate, it's a lesson to everyone involved with this project. If the official EMU server can "accidentally" wipe......then ANY server can "accidentally" wipe. So don't be fooled by anyone who tries to tell you "our server will NEVER wipe".
