New Message I've Yet To See

[DruiD]

For the first time today, I got this message. Is theira new mechanism that's backing up site files, or is the site under attack or whats the deal?

(66.45.249.35) We are currently backing up your account information for your security. Please wait 10 minutes and then try again. If you are getting this message and there is NOT a backup taking place, most likely our web server is overloaded. We advise you to retry your response later.

It's just one more function of outwar doing its best to make things safer.

[DruiD]

k, I wasn't sure so figured I'd bring it up just incase it wasn't something right ;)

just didn't seem right to be because around the same time of those errors, came these errors

In this room:
Im sorry, Outwar is currently experiencing technical difficulties


and other various errors that aren't typically seen in the places they're displayed

[DruiD]

yeah thats' why I brought it up, seems like something internally happened, I dunno never seen teh error before cuz I'm not usually on at this time

[Firestarter]

i think it was supposed to back up info once a day, somewhere around day change, but today is quite annoying

[DruiD]

yeah it's lagging so bad now, wasn't like that earlier when I posted this thread

almost reminds me of a DDoS attempt

[medman]

I haven't seen a DDOS attack on OW since PG quit......

I have seen the backing up files one before, but the experiencing difficulties every time i try to change rooms in DC and no mobs loading, i ahve not seen, and it is really annoying

[Rampid_Justin]

What server are you all on? The message was changed for the times we are doing database backups and db work during the nights, so new players won't freak out when the site doesn't work. Happening during the day off and on means a database is slow (if all servers are effected it's usually rampid gaming, if only one server is effected, it's obviously one of their dbs).

So, what server, and is it still happening?

[medman]

Sigil. now its not just being slow and giving error messages, raids are stuck and no mobs are visible in DC

[makavelitehdon]

Ive got that backup info thing on sigil today maybe like 1h ago.

And ye just to add to the that the raids are stuck and stuff, the skills are stuck as well and same with rage and exp per turn.

[belgiumdude]

had the back-up thing 7 hours ago....

[makavelitehdon]

Just had it again right now 11:34am

[medman]

still having it happen constantly as i log in my different characters and do random little things on them. my guess is that whatever messed up happened about three and a half hours ago according to the way my skills are acting

[snake]

Just had it again right now 11:34am

by server i think he means srv 148 Page was generated in

i could be wrong though

[Rampid_Justin]

Nah I was talking about game servers (sigil, torax, etc). I'm working on the issue now, hopefully have outwar running 100% soon.

[medman]

i can raid BH now, thats some improvement :)

[Rampid_Justin]

Okay, I repaired a table that I discovered to be crashed. That should fix most if not all of the issues. Let me know if anything else is out of whack. :)

[medman]

yay!! everything seems to be working fine for me now

[RampidMark]

Okay, everyone thank Justin now!!

(as we thank you for notifying us of the problem... thank you)

[belgiumdude]

Girl Scout Lemon cookies = worst idea for cookies!

[Dbomb123]

the lemon drop ones arnt to bad. they arnt as fantastic as some of the others, but they are still better than some cookies ive gotten out of vending machines.

[midgetrussian]

Girl scout cookies are the best because women belong in the kitchen.
