Current MOO situation

Okay kids.

You'll all have noticed the extreme lag we have been experiancing tonight. This is due to a massive issue with our host server. We currently are sharing space on someones server for free, and right now that server is acting up. It -looks- like it is stuck in the back-up process that has us lagging at 4, 8, and 12 AM/PM. What it means to you the player:

1) It is -SLOW- to the point of being dangerous. There is the potential that your character could be harmed/injured in some way while you are stuck in a lag momment.

2) There is the potential for MOO destabilization that results in a CRASH. This is basically because messages and calculations needed to keep the MOO running and healthy are not getting to the server processors, meaning bad things can happen to the functionality of the MOO. So there is a crash potential.

That being said: THIS IS A TEMPORARY PROBLEM

It is -NOT- the MOO itself that is problematic, but the server it is on. The problem will most likely be fixed by tomorrow. We will update you when this happens.

It is an unfortunate problem to have, especially at a time when things are very active on the game. But as you can see, we are trying to make the most of the situation we are in, and we can honestly say that we have a long term solution on the horizon, in the form of a new server. We are just in the process of finding proper hosting and connectivity for it.

So, LAGGY today, Better tomorrow. If you have any questions, please either post them here, or contact the admin via email, or VIA AIM if you need too. Mine is DaRaddishman

I got an update:

As of 9:30am DST the MOO has been 'unreachable' for an indeterminant amount of time. The exact cause of this is unknown at this time, but I personally am at the point where I have said, "Unless something changes, we can't continue on like this." because the lag has gotten so bad the game is becoming unplayable.

Now by far and away the easiest thing to change is the configuration of the box the game is running on.

Unfortunately we are calling in a favor by having it hosted at all, and we don't have the ability to go affect the change ourself.

So were exploring other posibilities.

I was given as a present for christmas a used high end server from a failiing business. Were in the process of locking this box down (disabling all the services, blocking all the incomming ports, and opening them up to trusted IP's) and getting things ready to go on it.

This however is only half the problem. Just copying the game over to the box dosn't accualy get the DNS pointed at it, or the website, and many other such seeming trivialities that need to occur before we can move it over.

Futhermore, we'de be much happier if we didn't have to administer the box, so our preference is to keep things where they are.

So what does this all mean? It means were working on several solutions, including a backup plan, but it's not something we can enact in a few hours or even possibly a few days.

We do deeply appologize for the inconvience, and are trying our damndest to do something about it, and we absolutely appreaciate your continued paitence.

More to come as the details become avalibe to us.

Allright ladies and germs. I spent the day locking down the box and Johnny put in an impressive effort and got everything rigged up on the Big Iron.

Check the home page to see the results of our effort. At some point in the future we will make an offical announcement and RP will continue from the last played checkpoint. Until then feel free to twink out and generally make a mess of things.

The box is liable to go down at any time because were still testing the setup but for the most part it's looking very promising.

Preliminary tests indicate that we are running at 100% maximum possible speed, and that the configuration is more than sufficent to support any expansion we may do in the future. Lag is simply non existant. The only potential source of lag now is the connection.

More as we know it.

Ninjas and Tank Pilots:

We've got about another hour and a half before RampageDome comes to a close.

Now that's not to say you'll never see it again… But for now were going to concentrate on bringing up the game proper for RP's sake.

When the MOO goes down around 10:30pm DST today, we will come back up in about 5-25 minuts and will be on REAL GAME TIME so get in charcater.

We ask that you leave people in public places alone for the next 48 hours to give them a chance to get to saftey. This is a checkpoint taken the evening before we went down. It was late at night so there shouldn't be many problems but regardless respect other PC's.

On an unrelated note, we've got some great tech for inceasing the 'ambient' population with real npc's which are much more dynamic comming up here soon. They're not just going to stand around any more... Just give us some time.

Have fun, and thanks for the amazing times on Rampage MOO. I'll always remember it.
