From what I read on discord, the login server was taken down (I assume so they dont get swamped) I also assume that WHEN its fixed they will be happy to announce it. just a hunch

[PanGalactic]

Online now. Summary: Inventory ok, able to sample resources, bank working ok with existing balances ok, unable to download new mail, unable to purchase a travel ticket at the starport...

from discord:

<•TA> Victor Popovici the data seems somehow valid, still not conclusive
16:16 server loaded and i could zone in, cities and my char seemed fine
16:17 now i have to remotely back up everything again
New messages
16:17 fix the ssds, load bas again
16:17 check with more players if everything is ok
from IRC
if you were able to log in, might want to get on irc or pm TA on the forums about it and give sincere info
the better, legit, non trolling info he gets, the better

OK, I have made myself a large cardboard sign which says "WIPE IT ! WIPE IT ALL !! WIPE IT NOW!!!" and I am going down to my local park to join the other crazy people with their signs (Not My President, Stop Abortions, Nuke N. Korea, etc...)

Deeew Eeet! A wipe would be great for those new players that might be just starting on EMU -

With that said, I hope all goes well in your search for that bad code!!

Figmo!

To clarify a bit, Basilisk is up but still in the process of validating the integrity of most of the database objects. The server is currently running through our backup HDD's, which is causing the server's loading to take a lot longer than it normally would on SSD's. We shut down the login server because any actions triggered on Bas will delay the database check, and it's going to take long enough as it is.

The good news is, the server didn't explode using the recovered database. There's no current bad news, but as of right now, that's the only good news. We still have to verify that all of the objects in the database are actually valid and load properly, and it will take time. The possibility of a wipe still remains if we find too much corrupted data. Time will tell, but in the meantime you'll see Basilisk go online and offline multiple times, but you won't be able to access it. Those still connected will not be able to reconnect when they disconnect, and in the interest of getting this testing done as quickly as possible, they should disconnect on their own anyway.

Login server should be UP now btw, for anyone wanting to test anything on TCNova during the interim.
