    Ahh, nothing like a server outage to get the community at each others throats.

    Have you people never been trolled before? Oh hell, is this game full of actual D&D players, taking their first tentative steps into the digital arena? Are we cross-pollinating nerds? Anything could happen!

    Be nice, fearthehydras.

    New frontiers can be disorienting.

    <<Spoiler Warning>> It doesn't get better....it gets worse. The ONLY thing NW has going for it right now is that if Cryptic treats it like Champions then Hasbro will boot party them likely which might maybe perhaps get you better communication. You do already have a ton more Mods and your dev tracker does move more than the postings of 2 people so you might come out of this ok....I, personally, doubt it. Good luck though. :D

    Don't let the door hit you on the way out :)

    So, 3.75 hours since Neverwinter, Champions Online and Star Trek Online all went down and no real info beyond "hardware failure" from an hour ago has been provided.

    funny thing is UO is the very 1st mmo ever and it is still going. Those type of MMOs dont exists anymore they were the best. ESO will be close but with investors involved you will never get a quality product. CU could do well but no one knows whats happening there.

    Meridian 59 came out before UO did

    Hmm, Habitat/Club Caribe was a couple years earlier, I think. I guess it depends on how one defines MMO, especially the "massively" part. The first game I played that I feel deserves that adverb was Ultima Online in 1997. I played stuff like Isle/Legends of Kesmai, Meridian59, The Realm, WorldsAway, etc. before that, but they were not "massive" in the MMO-sense.

    I played LoK as well.

    I miss those days of going after an OL staff or a corpse run at mamas or the trip through the underworld if you were the one who got eaten by mama.

    No it is not. NWN is the first. UO, didn't come out until 1997. NWN for AOL was 1991, Dark Sun Online and Meridian 59 were 1996.

    MUD was the first MMO game in my personal opinion. If you dont know what MUD is then maybe you have heard a traditional MMO game called Everquest, and THAT is a game that is way older then WOW.

    I guess you can say MUDs were the 1st but duno I still say UO is the 1st (state side anyways) to come out.

    people just don't see how pathetic they sound here ROFL

    Hmmm can't hear anything, let me turn my volume up.

    Nope, still can't hear anything, but i do read a lot of whining that resembles the cries of a hundred hungry infants.

    One of the moderators should probably give them a Baby Bottle of [S.T.F.U] and a new change of diapers while they're at it.

    LOL wow 30k is not what a server costs.. for a HP dl380 G6 with 40 cores and 500GB of ram you are talking about 70k to 100k. 30k you obviously are not in IT lol

    We use a dl380 g7 for our webserver, 32gb of ram, and 2tb storage in the chassis with a trailerpark of a sas for live stream storage, (msa2000 x3 enclosures I forget the cost) I think it was around 12,500 after the CDW discounts. If this puts any of server price claims into perspective.

    People that say wow was the first mmo can't either a) research b) read.

    Ultima online and asherons call are the most archaic mmos dated.

    Couple things, they probably have data storage redundancy.

    They are NOT going to have parallel redundant services though. Only banks, your Amazon, Google, Microsoft, NYSE, IBM, large Datacenter hostings generally have parallel redundancy. The hardware, cabling, and power infrastructure for such systems is largely outside the scope of game companies.

    However, I have not read anywhere exactly what the issue was, but since it affected all services my inclination is power related. They will likely have some sort of UPS powering the infrastructure so it must have been a serious outage.

    Just a guess, but yeah all these people asking about redundant services have no idea of the price tag on such an undertaking. As the project lead for the NYSE mirror site, I know a thing or two about datacenters.

    Be nice, fearthehydras.

    New frontiers can be disorienting.

    I was being nice, just sarcastically so. I was merely hoping to bridge the gap, alleviate the stress of modernization.
