Basilisk extended downtime 08/09/2017

I believe the character select screen is on the "Login Server" and not on the Basilisk server and therefore is a different db. (which should be wiped clean as well!)

i would agree with hybrid, if you dont play for ages and log in your chars are always naked

[PanGalactic]

OMG it let me in !!

So would we need to delete characters to make room for new ones? (if there was a wipe).

I know there is like a 24 hour limit on creation tho.
If I can recall, there is a 10 character limit?

I was under the impression that the login server only had basic info, but i'm not sure. The login screen had my characters location and my gear, whereas iirc usually during downtimes on live or with db issues it would list your location as "unknown" and your character would be bald/naked.

When it was only about 20 online, I got to the full loading window and after some time while the window was still up, I heard my character coughing. I'm guessing that's why it's showing all those connections online.

That's the sound of your character slowly dying. The end is near

Don't know whether to believe you, but can you tell how old the backup restored is based on your character's possessions or location?

OK, I am in (on Endor, where I was last) My inventory appears unchanged, I can sample resources. I have new mail, but I am unable to download it.

When were you last online?

The force was to strong with this one!

*listens to the calming swg music as she falls asleep...moments later realizing shes still trying to connect to the login server....hmmm...

[PanGalactic]

Last online for the last shutdown. This toon was logged in and pulling up ore while afk.

No wipe, why even live?

i kind of hope there is a wipe , everyone on even playing field will be nice. I stand to lose a few years of playing time and millions of credits and loot , but I'll gladly sacrifice it for a clean wipe .

I do feel the HD backup thing is kind of a let down , being an IT guy , there really isn't much excuse for this happening . USB drives are cheap , amazon S3 cloud storage is about 50$ a month for 2 TB ... but hey its a free project , and I don't run it so there is that.

Um, they have no access to the machines outside of logins...these are hosted machines by hosting companies. Sigh
