Wanted to touch base, we're still ramping up for the release of Herocraft 4.0 ... It seems that we are running into some hardware issues at our host. I like being transparent and telling you whats going on so I'll explain.
1) The hardware is brand new, it cost $3500 for the entire setup and it has been shipped to our host @ oplink.et We are seeing a freezing issue on the machine which has led to two hard crashes, we're looking into this issue - it may take several days to resolve since the machine is NOT within physical reach.
2) The host, oplink is being attacked by the DDOS'ers - they are going down every few hours - this is affecting their entire service. They've been working with their ISP but sometimes there isnt much a host can do that is being hit with a massive attack every few hours.
3) We're prepping the map files, the plugins and the new quest system. It will be exciting.
Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know what I've been dealing with internally, you may see the server not so busy but it is very stressful for myself and staff.
