Theory on Darkfall Server Downtime

Hello,

During a server restart we experienced a hardware failure we're currently dealing with. We're informed that it shouldn't take longer than 1 hour to fix.

We appreciate your patience and apologize for the delay it getting the game back up.

Seriously I really hope I am wrong!

Last if it makes you feel any better you can contact GNi directly here, they're the company responsible for hosting the Darkfall game servers.

BREAKING UPDATE! Tasos just got out of the pool and made the following post:

Downtime update 4.20 AM GMT:

We're afraid that the effects of the failure experienced during a routine server restart have proven considerably more time-consuming to address than originally estimated. We keep getting persistent errors that need to be corrected before the game is back up. The sources of these errors have finally been identified and now it's a matter of time before they are corrected.

We expect the servers to be up by 12pm noon GMT today(Tuesday) but we're doing everything we can to minimize this estimated downtime. During this timeframe we'll also apply a scheduled update patch meant to address some of the issues players have been experiencing the past few days.

We have been working non-stop on getting the game back up. We truly regret the downtime but we must be able to focus on the job at hand and we appreciate your patience and support. We will keep you updated on all developments.

There will be ample compensation for any missed game-time.

With our apologies,
The Darkfall Team

Looks like the ETA for servers coming back up is around 7AM EST on Tuesday morning.
