Reccomendations

Until i can get this crap resolved (read previous post) i would watch the site, specifically the ping section

if the pings get all banana sandwich  (500-1K+) i would reccomend holding off on doing anything dangerous IE, Swimming/Underwater building, Movement near lava (already got me once), unlit areas.

 

Keep an eye on this it might save your life and your diamond armor. 🙁

State of the Union

Comcast has finally come clean and told me that they my business class plan that our server is on is hooked into an older network that they are phasing out.  So apparently the reason our pings/connections have been so S*@(y is because they are slowly shutting down the nodes that are in my area forcing people to the new stuff.  but here comes the kicker the new plans are faster 🙂 which is a plus, but…. all the new plans have to be “bundled” so i have to get an analog phone 🙁 EEEK which i don’t need (already setup on voip) so i don’t know what is going to happen.  Ill keep you guys posted on the goings on.

In the mean time i apologize for the connection issues, i will see if i can get this resolved fast.

Bye Bye Forum

It seemed the Forum was just filled with spam and bots, I decided to trash it.  It was creating a huge load on the SQL server and it was almost all caused by the bots.

Lemme know if you want it back in the comments

MYSql brought us down

If you were wondering what happened to the server earlier this week, it was a mysql update gone awry. i had to revert all the db’s back a day. it was not fun 🙁

HD Maintenance

The array that the MC servers are running on is fragmented pretty badly, so it will be running a defrag until it is finished.

I have offloaded the MC data to an another disk array so the performance impact should be minimal, please comment or contact me if the result is other wise and i will set a schedule to finish the defrag.

 

Thanks!
