Whoops Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Server is offline. Disk errors (serious) and we may have to rebuild. Will affect all servers but for COD4 #4 and The BBC2 server which are hosted via 3rd party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoops Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Rebuild required. You are looking at some loooong downtime . And after that all the games will have to be configured. Ha or maybe I should just leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban-Ninja Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 you would think a dedicated server provider would have raid setup by default, or at least have some backup measures for such an occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it had 2 disks with a controller. Just one of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiuart Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ha or maybe I should just leave it. Leave ALL MW2 servers ! I dare you Maybe it was a sign about what I wrote in "kill all MW2 servers" thread ? "Kill" all of them except of maybe 1 - 2 and go totally different direction - less whining , less stupidity ? Couldnt be any better moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr krabs Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I would have to agree with some of the comments here Whoops, with our plans for the future i think its about time to decide with all the up and coming games if MW2 is worth the hassle? Sure it was fun but bigger and better things are around the corner its the perfect opportunity. Just thought Woof wont be playing Arena even if he gets his Mobo back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoS Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 it would be a shame to lose them completey - the different between the usual suspects on HC#2 and SnD#3 is night and day. The HC crowd are always good natured, friendly and have fun - while the SnD lot, bitching cry babies doesn't get close. Arrogant, abusive, selfish - THEY are not worth attracting. Like COD4, if it's affordable, keep 3 or 4 - Maybe ALterBO will take off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HC crowd are always good natured, friendly and have fun - while the SnD lot, bitching cry babies doesn't get close. Arrogant, abusive, selfish - THEY are not worth attracting. Not really a shame. And HC players arent the only one , its easier to say that every other game mode (DEM/DOM/etc) provides "nicer" crowd than S&D , since its not like HC is the only mode/server on which nice people play. But S&D is the worst for sure. Like COD4, if it's affordable, keep 3 or 4 - Maybe ALterBO will take off Affordable isnt probably the biggest problem here , since it is hosted from own dedi and not rented from 3rd party. Problem is dealing with all crap that comes with it , and "appreciation". Is that a joke 3 - 4 ? what would that change ? since now most servers that are full all the time are probably 4 of them. I dont see any reason in "holding" 4 servers if it doesnt make any difference 4 or 9 , since it doesnt matter 4 or 9 = same problems. Leaving TDM and one FFA or DOM/DEM and it couldnt be better. Someone would like to play different mode , then he should look for other MW2 servers provider that will deal with all their (players) crap. So many people are posting how sh.tty ED servers are and that it isnt a problem for them to leave , I would help them with that - doing what I wrote earlier.

But S&D is the worst for sure. i think Mos meant that compared to the rest of the mw2 servers, those two servers have regular players that are pretty much there all the time, like for me to go to the HC server, chances are i know bout 80% of the players there, as im sure is the case with any of the SnD Regulars, only difference is that the SnD regulars are the likes of Shadou, Prodiigy, Alkaline, Fighters, Barberzz, and so on.. where as the other game mode servers don't really attract such a regular flow of the same ppl, alot more randoms playing things like FFA, DOM, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 The Cod4 servers which are not active should be removed (possibly) also the MW2 server should be left with only 2.... and also i think we should perhaps get rid of all cr@cked server and keep this community legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiuart Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Urban-Ninja;7928']where as the other game mode servers don't really attract such a regular flow of the same ppl, alot more randoms playing things like FFA, DOM, etc Well it always depends from players. When I found a server on which I had a good time and people there were friendly , I came back (DEM/DOM servers - since I dont play any other OBJ gamemodes). I have no idea what others like to do when they want to play a game or two , but I prefer to play on 1 server than jump from one to another. Same "appeared" on ED DEM/DOM servers since always same regulars are joining site to report , true that probably more people join the same HC server than DOM but we shouldnt lie to each other , OBJ gamemodes arent those with a lot of players , since most prefer just to sit in a corner and care only for kills rather than obj and also i think we should perhaps get rid of all cr@cked server and keep this community legit It was written at least 4 times that it will happen , but at this moment there is nothing that we could add instead of those removed ...

TheMoS Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) I totally blame my spelling on this stupid iPad and ios5!Due to the nature of mw2 being hacked itself, it will attract more idiots however, it's our job to clear them out and I don't mind it.Plus, u can't deny the fact a certain amount of players found ED because they were c-racked servers - I did (cod4) Edited October 13, 2011 by TheMoS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiuart Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) it's our job to clear them out and I don't mind it I would never thought that you will say/write it. Since you were already here when it was said that it never was/is a "job". Also as Whoops wrote it long time ago , "its our choice/option to try and provide friendly playground , but never job". PS. But since it seems that I'm the only one who thinks about "killing" all MW2 servers , I wont reply in this thread again.

We have found many good people via this way. More than the other way... lol but guess there is an end to everything. Lets get the dedicated back online first then decide later. A lot of work is needed before we start to add back the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V3NOM Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Not good IMO we should keep mw2 servers till alterops final version is released after that we should focus on BO servers. Many players are already bored of mw2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoops Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Yes, being an rcon is a job - but a satisfying job if u think youre making a difference No, not a job for us. It's like Stiuart said, we added a definition somewhere, maybe it was lost during the site migration. Will add a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whoops Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Just an update. Server is back online with the emergency disk. The other two disks are being checked before data is copied across. NO game servers will be available for another few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
