Detroit? The server is in Detroit?

The lines went down in high winds, huh?

The problem will be two-fold.

In order to put the lines back up, they will first have to buy all-new lines, because you just know that the urchins that live in that fine city have stolen any copper or aluminum that got with reach of the ground. =)

I blame Arch (devil)
If you lost your cd and have the old drive and have not reinstalled UT2004 or reformatted the drive, you can find your old cd key in the registry here ...

Ok I am getting a ping from the server so that means it is alive! I just let joeyz know that the UT server needs to be restarted. So hopefully everything will be back up and running soon.

As of a couple of hours ago the power has been restored to the data center. Before i fire back up the UT 2004 and Mine Craft servers, i am doing security updates on the server machine. As soon as these critical updates are done, will launch the game so you can access and get back to playing. I am just taking advantage of the down time for maintenance.

So what happened? Late Saturday night at about 1AM, paintball, mobster and myself were all in skype talking about setting a schedule to get back into programming and programming enhancements to the game. As we were adding some new admins to the server, i noticed the server went off line. After pinging the system over the net, noticed it was dead. Server went down at around 1AM Saturday night. Looking at weather bug, discovered a massive thunderstorm sweeping through the area and figured it was only a temp outage with network. After calling in a trouble report ticket, they told me that the storm killeed all power to the data center, they were runing on generators but priority were big business servers and all low priority servers are offline (ie. game and email servers) until full power restores.

Electric company has now fixed the power.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Again, power has been restored and i am doing system updates which requires multiple restarts. As soon as these updates are done, will put the game back online. ETA: about 1 hour.
