Ash 22 Report post Posted July 23, 2017 Dear community, We would like to apologize for the recent downtime regarding the servers. I have no other way to say this, and we are not trolling... so bare with me. Staden (Lead Developer) has been working on core fixes to stop the servers from crashing. And he was ready to implement the features on to the servers. Unfortunately, during the process, lightning struck his house and it completely fried his computer so he is unable to upload or fix any issues at this time. He is currently passing information on to the System Administrators and they're trying to stabilize things in the meantime. We fully understand it is frustrating, so within the next week we will be trying to find a solution and plan ahead. The servers can still run, they're just struggling a little bit at the moment due to a high rise of population in the last few days. Regards, Elysium Staff. Note: Thank you for your support. Staden is OK, he just has no computer. Thank you for asking! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hotzpocket 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2017 Just out of curiosity, are surge protectors sold at ridiculously inflated prices over there? I would never plug my large purchase electronics without a reliable surge protector first... I just thought everyone that owned a decent TV and/ or computer would have one... I guessed wrong. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think what Adrela is saying is... "Thank you for investigating the issue at hand. I appreciate what you folks are doing for the community." 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Necronaut 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2017 Hope Staden can get things sorted out and best of wishes to him! Just out of curiousity, is the reason for the core crash issues that I assume sneaked through last weeks maintenance known at least? Cause I would say that is the more pressing question people are asking. Thanks for all the work you do and hope the core behaves after fixes can be implemented! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuar 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2017 If you notice how ridiculous it sounds, why even make an official announcement about it. Better to blame technical difficulties than giving an opening to be ridiculed. Honesty sometimes isn't the best option. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash 22 Report post Posted July 23, 2017 I like the truth. And that's how it is. I'm sure most would prefer that then for us to sit in silence while you experience lag issues and server restarts. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were a few areas that required attention which can be addressed. Can't go into much detail about it at the moment but let's just say there's a few 'doorways to be sealed'. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cronelife 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2017 So, where's the link to the kickstarter to help with a new computer? I mean, we don't really pay for the game, but we sure do like to play it and we need you. This is a sincere question. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gunzbngbng 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2017 Please open up transfers from Elysium to anathema. There are players on Elysium looking for more content, anathema needs the pop, and Elysium is faltering under the stress. It's a win-win. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm so done with this community You sure like to victimize yourself bud, get a thicker skin and quit the whining - it's pathetic. I'm saying "technical difficulties" is all the information the community needs to know about this - which is a broad and neutral term, not a lie & and the professional way to go about this. I'm pointing that out precisely because the community or rather reddit/wowservers is sure to rip apart a "lightning strike", this is the internet afterall. I have never much cared, nor blown up anything that PS did, nor do I pay heed to what happens on these kind of forums. I'm replaying vanilla WoW for more than 3 years now and I'm grateful for every server that's enabling me to do so - I just wish that the people running these were smarter about their communication, so they can prevent entirely unneccasery shitstorms. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
