We all owe Advazion a BIG thank you for setting this up. We had 8 people on last night and 0 lag, and he has since tripled the RAM available to the server, so it should run smoothly for many of you. I'd encourage you to start new characters on it, because we can port them over to the real HG server as soon as it is back up. There is a post created by Box_Fox for that express purpose under the Bug/Problem Report thread. As Advazion said, we pnly have the character files from 2 weeks ago, and not the database, so banking/immortal/lolthkill/moadkill status will not show up for characters that have it. You can, if you are so inclined, get it again, but please bear in mind that only the character files and not this data will be ported back to the main server when it's back up - don't deposit items in the bank. Otherwise, the module is the same you 've been playing on, with the most recent update. Circumstances permitting, we MIGHT set this server up as a shared vault in the future, for overflow during busy periods, guild activities, and abyss runs. In the meantime, use it to get your HG fix! Best, Funky

UPDATE: DS has just come back up, with all our data gone. We are hoping that the data will be restored shortly, and will find out soon. If worst comes to worst, we will use the 2 week old back up and restore what we can for more recently created characters. I'll keep you informed. Funky

Well, if there's a silver lining from all of this, it's that we hit a new record for simultaneous visitors on the bulletin board - 9 people last night, up from the previous record of 6!! Not quite full server numbers (32) but impressive nevertheless.

We've tried to upload a module on to ds but it will not work. From this I suspect that ds had a hardware failure on our server and they have resolved that and now they are dealing with the software issues. This is speculation though as we still have had no contact from ds. Funky and I will keep you informed and up to date with any information we receive from ds or obtain elsewhere.
Many thanks,
Advazion
Also I have changed the module name to 0 ' ' ' Higher Ground Al to get it next to the standard mod in the Action list so more players can find it.

I was thinking a bit about this last night, and I don't think you guys should have to pay your entire DS bill for the month. 2 server crashes in...what...a week? That's totally bogus. And on top of that, the jerks don't have the common courtesy to give you a call and say "hey, we're workin on it". Grr...I'm pretty steamed...when you guys get snailmail back up I don't want you to spend my donation on DS, I want you to go buy urselves some dinner or a beer or go to a movie...you totally deserve it. Anyway, been raving about it all night, just needed to release the pressure... Thanks for your hard work guys. Box_Fox

Server is down for a short time while I back up the module and database as the ds contract is changing hands tonight and don't want to risk ds just shutting it down with no backup.
Thanks and sorry for Inconvienience,
Advazion
