Enyekala's 10-year anniversary is almost here! I guess I got to do something for the event ...

I woke up this morning and found this in my inbox. The second piece of hatemail I've ever received! I honestly had no idea I was that important.

Sure! That'd be fine. I guess I just forgot this has happened before, and I'm more than a bit surprised.

I haven't seen JT2 in the serverlist for a bunch of days now, has something gone awry !!??

Server is back!

Hello Mustopians! The server is expected to be DOWN tomorrow for several hours minimum. Don't panic. Nobody's gonna lose their storks.

I am glad I could make it last-minute! I missed the main events due to traveling IRL; it is what it is. Hope to see screenshots soon!

Initial reaction: LOL

Done. I hope that wasn't you, trolling.

(I see I spelled Begone wrong.)

Server is up! You also have an extension on resets for the applicable locations and gates.

The hardware is running again. So is the website. Hopefully the server will be up in a few hours ...

If the server is down does that mean the countdown for Midfeld fog/the Outback gate shift/account resets will be paused?

Because we have stuff in Midfeld and an account without a PoC (yet) that would be wiped, as well as accounts that would be stranded at one of the gate exits, if not.


Hmm, I ...

In the meantime, here is something to help starving players keep themselves at least partially occupied (don't get into any trouble!)

Yes, the server is offline. Will be offline for a few days due to a hardware/OS malfunction. Sorry about this.

No data has been lost! Keep calm and save a stork.

I wish to commemorate my first ever hate-mail, in the near-decade I've been hosting this server.

wtf MAN do you actually want people to hate and quit this game
i think it's sucks really that you can ...

As long as you initialized the staff with the player that owns the chest, then shared it with the other player, that's the expected behavior. This means if you die and someone grabs the staff from your gravesite, you now have a security leak :)

There's now a max distance limit to keep it from being ...

Fixed. (The house did not burn down.)

The box is indeed unreachable. Frozen, ran out of power, just crashed, or my house burnt down. Will know more in an hour.

Already taken care of. .D:{

Proxy blocker is off.

Dunno wat the wor is about, but a cursory scan of chat makes me think there's a pile of misunderstandings going on ...
well, not my business provided the (possibly several) belligerents feel themselves sufficiently demoted. Carry on and save a stork.

It was down again. Sorry about that. Lots of line repairs taking place in my area.

The server is running on my end, but there seem to be connection issues. MIGHT be an issue with ISP. Hopefully the problem just goes away after a couple of days ...

Server is back. Was down due to power outage. Then power surge. Lost 3 appliances to loud POPs and acrid smoke. Then brownout for a few hours.

Good news: no blocks were lost during this rapid unscheduled electrical disassembly.

I had to put arklegacy-server.net in my /etc/hosts before it would finally work.

YUCK

Well, it's back.

Annoying. Others can log in, and view website, but *I* can't.

What black magic is this? UUUUguguuguugg got to do some debugging now.

System update in progress.

Wait, the server is 8 years old now?

... Huh, I hadn't noticed.

Cool resource BTW. Believe it or not, I've already had occasion to use the craft search function twice now. Mostly to find the names of stuff I'd forgotten was in the game.
