Escapist Down?

[BluenetteDiviner]

I panicked and thought my internet had effed up or something... but it's back on now... phew

Did anyone else have trouble getting on the Escapist a little while ago?

Yeah about that you should join the Tech Team user group, [user]Kross[/user] explained why it was down for 2 hours

 

[WorldCritic]

Yeah, seems to do that a lot.

I thought there was something wrong with my wife's new massive Mac. It likes the escapist now. Good Times.

It was down earlier. I used http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and it confirmed it

Yeah, this morning was fun. There was apparently a UPS failure at the data center. Something that should be next to impossible with the amount of redundancy and preventative maintenance alerts I get. So after about an hour of no power, we were finally able to turn our servers back online, and then spent another 45 minutes or so checking and bringing site services online.

Our secondary database server needs to be re-synched (which takes about 20 minutes of downtime), but that can wait until less people are online.

Ugh.

Je suis tres desole, it sounds more annoying than the time that the dog ate my french dictionary and I needed it for my speech the next day.
