Sabrada, Zoric, Planitia, wings field, luca - now down

Post by zaroba »

Planned Downtime

Worlds: Sabrada, Luca, Zoric, Planitia, and Wings Field
When: Tomarrow (Friday the 5th)
actual time of the downtime is unknown. it could be morning, it could be afternoon. but it will probably be in the afternoon Eastern Time
Length is unknown as well. probably not for more then an hour.

Reason:
was at the store today getting some blank CDs and was looking at other stuff.
saw an UPS which i was thinking of getting, but diden't since ideally, i'd like 2 of them (one for the modem/router and future pc in my room, and a 2nd one for the current pc in the livingroom).

but then i saw a 160gb hard drive for only $100. after about 10 mins of thinking about it and considering the pros and cons of it (like money mostly abd what i'd need to last on until my next paycheck) i decided to buy it.
tomarrow i will be installing it in the computer either replacing the 7gb drive or running with it.

this also brings good to the worlds hosted and (possibly) to the game. it will allow:
hourly backups of all hosted worlds from start to finish (currently they are every 6 hours and only saved for a week)
full seperate radios for each world hosted
audio taunts etc for each world hosted
i will be able to set up ftp access to let world owners into thier world instilations to add stuff like the above or other stuff
i will be able to once again hook up and extract game stuff (heightmaps, models, textures, etc) off of all of the old hard drives that broke over the past 2 and a half years.
and it will make me much happier since i haven't been able to download and burn anime, music, or games for a few months now :P




The worlds are now down
