Did They Forget to Turn on the Test Server?

[Tempesste]

<p>Remember back in the early days, they did an update on a Friday and went home without turning the servers back on.</p><p>~:-p</p>

[Eshaac]

<p>lol I just posted about forgetting to unlock da server.. scary thinking alike..</p><p>Eshaac</p>

[ChrisMarchant]

<p>I am on European time, so went to log on, discovered test was down, spotted a Dev on the forums, sent a PM to that dev, saying test was down. He/she didn't respond, and logged out shortly after, that was according to the forums, around 1AM SOE time, so a dev does know, if he/she read their message.</p>

[Tempesste]

<p>/waves to Eshaac</p><p>Good to know Chris</p>

[ChrisMarchant]

<p>I try my best. Well I've completed the Journey is Half the Fun on my live server, and helped a guildie clear out Kaladim, so not a total loss, but would have liked to sort some of my test toons out.</p><p>Back to Splitpaw I go!</p>

[hobo909]

<p>i dont feel like that but im sure soe devs could put a little more effort in to test then they do now</p>

[kelvmor]

<p>Ya think maybe we can, y'know..get it back up?</p>

[Maisland]

<p>I was hoping to do some testing of the new housing feature... oh well.</p><p>So... do we check back on Monday then?</p>

[Telden]

<p>Monday morning, the Devs will notice a lack of /bug reports comming from Test and Test_Copy, and conclude that everything must be working as intended, and is ready for Live  <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Kryvak]

<p>How long is it going to take until someone notices test is down? <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Sorry to keep you from your housing folks, we are experiencing some database issues on test server and are keeping it locked until we can be sure all is well.  We know you are waiting and will update when there is more information on timing.</p>

<p>The Test servers should be unlocking now.  We believe we've squatched the DB issue that caused the servers to crash, but there still could be lingering issues.</p>

[Eshaac]

<p>Cool thanks. Heading there now.. TestCopy was open a few mins or so ago and it seemed to run fine including the new housing stuff..</p><p>Eshaac</p>

[Domino]

<p>Just an update to let you know we're still working on Test. I believe Test Copy is available for playing around with houses at this time though.  Apologies for the inconvenience to Test players!</p>

[Zoltaroth]

<p>We found the second issue (besides the DB issue earlier) and are building a fix now.  I should have it pushed within the next hour if not sooner.</p>

[Eshaac]

<p>Yep, TestCopy is up and playing with housing is fun..</p><p>Eshaac</p>

[Bunji]

<p>We identified another issue causing the current issue with Test.  We should have it push out in the near future (won't need a full server patch).</p>

[Zoltaroth]

<p>Patch is installed on Test.  The server should be up shortly.</p>

[Eshaac]

<p>Cool Thanks Zoltaroth.. <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Eshaac</p>

[renewedbullet]

[Tempesste]

<p>Thanks to all you Devs! Test is my home and it hurts a bit when we have long downtimes but we appreciate all you do!!! Happy to be home again. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[Domino]

<p>Test copy server should now have received the same fix and is being unlocked now.  Please post to this thread if you do have any further server issues this weekend.  Happy testing and thanks again for taking part! <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

[ChrisMarchant]

<p>Thanks for the hard work this weekend, at least this didn't happen next weekend, would be a lot worse if it had happened over Easter.</p><p>I know it doesn't get said often, but you coming into work on a weekend to fix this for us is appreciated.</p>
