Mp Server May Be Down Again !!

[Toni]

Myself and Barley were having problems getting into the 911 server today, it just didn't let us in the lobby. It just kept on trying to connect to the lobby but with no success.


Wondering if any of you guys has the same problem, test it you plz.

This is a quote from the anet yahoo group posted today:

{911} Woody is recompiling the anet server. We lost it when a security upgrade to the 911 server was applied. Don't worry.
Qa'plagh, Kahless

so I assume itll be back up soon.

911 server back online

[child of Thor]

Remember how difficult it was to just get hold of someone at Activision when there used to be problems?

So a big thumbs up to Woody(Eddy/Dan)+the 911 server

new servers file attached in following posts.

Maq is that the newest server data file?

Server went down again, any ideas?

or we just sit down and wait for it to be fixed.

You read the same messages I did anyway.

I shut down the old 911 anet server and the new one is up and running. I'm having trouble seeing it though. Do we need a new servers.dat file? I thought it would update off of the old server?

Unfortunately when I try to fire up the old server, it goes into a strange limbo. It's visible but doesn't respond.

Which looks like exactly when you got kicked from it tonight.

You need to run the old server for a while with the
new server.txt so it can tell everyone who connects
about the new server. Or you can hand out server.dat
files to people, either way.

That's too bad. I guess you have to go the 'hand out server.dat file'
route if you can't get the old server up.

So today keep the old servers.dat file hoping they get the old server running to update the servers.dat file with the new server, or expect a new servers.dat to be distributed today or soon.

Server back online

The servers file i posted should work, its only the old one anyway.

[Maquiladora]

OK if you tried the server you may realise its not up, well it is, but its the old one and is now not allowing anyone to enter the lobby. They setup a new server but it has a new IP and the old one is still online for the moment. They will most likely distribute an updated servers.dat with the new server included shortly...

[Toni]

tx Maq, thats good to know

[Maquiladora]

Heres the new servers.dat file sent to me by Eddy, one of the kind persons responsible for running the 911 server.

Guys the 911 server is back online, so have fun
